CALIFORNIA VOTERS: read prop 9 carefully. It speaks to restricting any kind of early release for prisoners, as an amendment to the constitution. THIS LAW IS UNNECESSARY AND DANGEROUS!
not to mention inconceivably expensive!!!

JUST SENT TO US FROM A MEMBER OF THIS SITE: Man in segregated unit attempts suicide; McNeil Island Corrections Center is covering up the fact that this is a direct result of Prison abuse and scandal not an attempted suicide.

ALBERT WOODFOX FREE!

WELCOME OUTSIDE!!!

Albert Woodfox is a member of our prison advisory board, an ex-black panther who has spent over 30 years in solitary confinement.
U.S. District Judge James Brady issued a ruling on July 10th approving a
federal magistrate’s decision that Woodfox’s conviction should be
overturned because his previous defense lawyer failed to object to a
prosecutor’s testimony about a witness’ credibility.
