We heard about this project from a while back and were horrified, tooting about it at the time… and we rarely toot about internal affairs.

It was the fascistic conflence of , the questionable policing and downright disgusting (ahem- ), and our distaste for propaganda that compelled us to toot.

As Lee Camp would say, "Keep fighting"!

When abolitionists talk about abolition, the response is typically vilification of anyone incarcerated, using public safety as an absolute. This point of view supports a profitable system of oppression. Incarcerated people aren’t monsters. Many are locked up wrongfully/illegally. The Prison Journalism Project recognizes them as humans. prisonjournalismproject.org/
