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
