Social Movement Prisoners

Social Movement Prisoners are prisoners who we support who were actively engaged in the work or advancement of social struggle before their capture by the state. For the majority of these prisoners, these actions are what led to their capture by the state. In some instances, members of our social movements end up in prison for other actions, but still have our support. This list is updated as often as possible. If you have any updates to addresses, suggestions for prisoners we should list, please contact us.

      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.

        Actually I see one out of US prisoner- Mandy Hiscocks (she is in Canada).
        Canada should be added to the end of the mailing address for letters to get to her, plus the postage costs more if they are writing from the US.

    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!

    [...] Es común que las y los presos políticos, siempre y cuando no se mantengan en aislamiento total,  ayuden a los presos jóvenes, den clases de diferentes tipos, promuevan el desarrollo de una consciencia social y ayuden a resolver problemas entre pandillas en las prisiones.  En varios casos, el hostigamiento contra ellos ha aumentado durante el año pasado, como en el caso de Leonard Peltier, quien ahora está en el ‘hoyo’, y  Jalil Muntaqim, recientemente trasladado a Ática donde ahora le fabrican una acusación de “pandillerismo”. En el caso de Mumia Abu-Jamal, las autoridades han aumentado sus esfuerzos para lograr su ejecución. Se espera una decisión de la Suprema Corte en su caso próximamente. http://www.thejerichomovement.com; http://denverabc.wordpress.com/political-prisoners-database/ [...]

    I’ve been working on a similar website: http://enkidu.anarchyplanet.org You could really flesh out this database with some of these sites.
