Political Prisoner Periodicals
The
modern movements for prison abolition and against inhumane practices
and conditions reached an initial high peak of struggle and mass
militancy during the 1970s, with rebellions and protests at many prisons
nationwide, the writings and example of George Jackson, and the
historic rebellion at Attica State Prison. This collection includes a
wide range of publications grown out of this ongoing movement, including
the Anvil, War Behind Walls, Big Mama Rag, The Outlaw, The Struggle Inside, Politics of Crime, and Arm the Spirit.
