Hello all!

Unfortunatley I am most likely going to recieve a custodial sentence this week and I am currently looking for left-wing groups that send prisoners literature, currently I have only spoke to Fight Racism! Fight Imperialism! to see about getting some stuff sent to me and was hoping maybe some people here could point me towards some others?

Thanks in advance!

on the other hand (assuming you are in the US) this organization sends literature to prisoners, though probely not much political stuff an usefull contact non the less probably;

Sorry to hear that. Fingers crossed that it goes a different way for you.

There are also local radical prisoner support groups around the US. Do you know which facility you're likely to end up in if you do get a custodial sentence?

I am in the UK and will be in HMP Saughton.

Thanks for the links Sasha sent some e-mails off so hopefully hear back, not first time I have been inside but first time I have had the opportunity to be prepared for it.

I highly recommend 4StruggleMag (http://4strugglemag.org/) - it's free to prisoners, and written by prisoners.
