How can people outside prison support the struggle of those inside? 
 From Troy Davis to Mumia Abu-Jamal and Bradley Manning, from the 
Pelican Bay Hunger Strikers to the Georgia Prison Strike and the 
Formerly Incarcerated Persons (FIPs), anti-capitalist leadership has 
come from inside the Prisonhouse of nations, and from the families 
campaigning outside.

Selection of Writings 1952-2011 published by PM Press.
