[news] A Practical Guide to Prisoner Support

[Resist!ca]

"Prisons are there to isolate people, so we must be actively keeping the link to the outside world open." Not long ago, someone in a Books for Prisoners program mailed me a small zine entitled, "A Practical Guide to Prisoner Support." The zine gives practical advice about writing prisoners and interacting with prisoners inside and outside prison walls, and lists prison activist networks. Many people are intimidated by the idea of writing someone they do not know in jail. People are not sure what to talk about, nor is the process for sending prisoners correspondence clear either.
