A Newsletter for Prisoners!
Though not a member of MPAC, Liberty News Service has been producing a newsletter for prisoners for over six months. Called "The Other Side" which is a monthly publication created by and for prisoners in
solidarity with our brothers and sisters incarcerated. It is a channel
of activism addressing the oppressive cruelty endured by prisoners. The
Other Side relies on your continued contributions and feedback which
may be edited for length, spelling, grammar or prisoner safety. We take
seriously the responsibility of helping those imprisoned under adverse
conditions We seek submissions from
prisoners to share their experience, struggles and inside prison while
looking for poetry and artwork and providing a creative outlet for
people locked up. We seek submissions of suggested names for the
newsletter from prisoners since this is primarily by and for those
incarcerated. We will honor all prisoner requests for the news letter
to be sent free of charge. If you would like to recieve a copy of this news letter, send an e-mail to prisonnewsletter@gmail.com or a letter to Liberty News Service
