The July 2013 political prisoners birthday poster from the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective is out now. Please take a moment to write a card and/or letter to let our comrades in prison know that they aren’t forgotten.

If you are in Grand Rapids, there is a letter writing night on July 3. The event is organized by JAILBREAK! and takes place from 5:00pm to 7:00pm at The DAAC (115 S Division). The group provides materials and stamps.

On a related topic, also worth checking out is the most recent episode of Crimethinc’s bi-monthly podcast that looks at the prison system in the United States. It explores how prisons function, as well as various efforts and projects aimed at the destruction of prisons.
