For folks interested in organizing against the Richmond City Jail, or just working with the Anarchist Black Cross, we are highlighting some of the zines in our collection that are relevant to jail and prison issues.

There are some zines written by incarcerated people, political prisoners, and folks who survived time in prison, while others are just about the prison system and how people struggle against it. Lots of good insight and ideas, especially for folks new to organizing around prison issues and political prisoners

You can come by during Open Hours on Wednesdays and Fridays from 4-9pm to read zines. Unfortunately zines can not be checked out.

Here are just some of the prison related zines in our collection:

Come on out to the Wingnut on Tuesday August 17th at 7pm to learn how to write letters to people incarcerated in prison or jail. We will be focusing on people in Virginia prisons and jails, with a special focus on people from our community of Southern Barton Heights who are locked up.

We will provide addresses, paper, envelopes, and stamps. We will also provide information on how to write prisoners, guidelines, advice,etc.

This will also be a good opportunity to have general discussions about organizing around prisoners and prisons, and issues in Virginia that have recently come to light.

Feel free to bring snacks and friends to share!
