Political Prisoner Database

We have collected many different political prisoner lists and followed up with each one to ensure that all of this information is accurate and up to date. Publications, websites and other media outlets are encouraged to use and refer to this list.

If you don’t see a prisoner on here they might be out of prison.  You can check our Former Political Prisoners page.  If not, it means we might not have them listed and you can email us at denverabc@rocketmail.com and we will look into adding it.

Also, make sure to check our Politicized Prisoners list for other prisoners who are also working towards a better world.

Finally, for a listing by birthdays visit LA ABCF’s Anarchist Birthday Brigade Project.

      This database doesn’t include any prisoners held outside of the US prison system, and I think the collective wants to keep it that way. Maybe some day we’ll add a page for other countries.

    I’m curious why the collective would choose to keep it only Americans?

      While we will organize support for various cases internationally, our focus is on prisoners in the U.S. because we have limited resources, and with nearly 100 prisoners in the U.S. that are identified as political/pow, and with another 2 million social prisoners, we have our handsful with the support we are providing and the agitation and organization we are supporting amongst the general prison populace.

      However, we did make a decision to have an international listing on our site, which should be in existence in the coming months. The only problem with this is dealing with keeping our site fully updated with changes of addresses, releases, transfers, etc. It’s a multiple hour process each week to keep track of those situations in the U.S. Keeping an international listing updated is going to be super consuming of time and resources. But if you or anyone is willing to help keep us updated on moves and changes of address, that would be a real help!
