When
Is a Prison Reformer Not a Prison Reformer? (on
Indymedia.org.uk) "The Prisoners' Handbook describes its editors as having
'taken a journey from the strip cells and punishment blocks
of prisons to the point today where he meets every six weeks
with the Home Secretary and Director General of Prisons to discuss
policy'."
Lincoln
Prison Uprising 2003 (on revolutionarycommunistgroup.com) "On 23 October Lincoln prison exploded into an open
rebellion that raged for eight hours, three hours of which saw
most of the gaol in the hands of the prisoner insurgents."
Perth Prisoners
Strike (on London Class Struggle Gridlock
Website) 'I sense that thinhgs here are moving towards serious and
sustained confrontation.'
Prisoner
Sues for Violence at HMP Long Lartin (on
Miscarriages of Justice UK) 'He was physically assaulted by about five screws, placed
in 'locks' and dragged to a sensory deprivation special cell
where he was beaten again and left for 24 hours.'
Support
Turkish Prisoners! (on Fight Racism! Fight
Imperialism!) 'It isn’t going to be easy organising an effective fightback
in prison: a lot of ground has been seized by the system and
it will resist with all its might any attempt to alter the balance
of power.'
Her
Majesty's Profit (with
Mark Barsley/on SchNews) 'We are currently seeing the growing exploitation of prisoners’
labour by private companies and by the state… compulsory work
is nothing less than slavery.'
