PARC is a prison abolitionist group committed to exposing and challenging all forms of institutionalized racism, sexism, able-ism, heterosexism, and classism, specifically within the Prison Industrial Complex (PIC). PARC believes in building strategies and tactics that build safety in our communities without reliance on the police or the PIC. We produce a directory that is free to prisoners upon request, and seek to work in solidarity with prisoners, ex-prisoners, their friends and families. We also work with teachers and activists on many prison issues. This work includes building action networks and materials that expose the continuing neglect and outright torture of more than 2 million people imprisoned within the USA; as well as the 5+ million who are under some form of surveillance and control by the so-called justice system. 

We have published the 2009 Prisoner Support Directory!

Please download below and distribute widely!

Now that we have published our new directory, we are starting a STAMP DRIVE so that we can send out our directory to everybody who has requested one in the last few months. It cost 59 cents in stamps to send a single directory to a prisoner...So with a small donation of only $5, you will be making it possibly for us to send 8 prisoners a Prisoner Support Directory.

Please consider donating to our stamp drive using the button to the right. Every little bit counts!
