Social Movement Prisoners

Social Movement Prisoners are prisoners who we support who were actively engaged in the work or advancement of social struggle before their capture by the state. For the majority of these prisoners, these actions are what led to their capture by the state. In some instances, members of our social movements end up in prison for other actions, but still have our support. This list is updated as often as possible. If you have any updates to addresses, suggestions for prisoners we should list, please contact us.

    Actually I see one out of US prisoner- Mandy Hiscocks (she is in Canada).
    Canada should be added to the end of the mailing address for letters to get to her, plus the postage costs more if they are writing from the US.

    What about Andrew Mickel; an anarchist arrested, convicted and sentenced to death for assasinating a police officer.

    Howdy Front Rangers,

    I’ve been working on a similar website: http://enkidu.anarchyplanet.org You could really flesh out this database with some of these sites.

    While we will organize support for various cases internationally, our focus is on prisoners in the U.S. because we have limited resources, and with nearly 100 prisoners in the U.S. that are identified as political/pow, and with another 2 million social prisoners, we have our handsful with the support we are providing and the agitation and organization we are supporting amongst the general prison populace.

    However, we did make a decision to have an international listing on our site, which should be in existence in the coming months. The only problem with this is dealing with keeping our site fully updated with changes of addresses, releases, transfers, etc. It’s a multiple hour process each week to keep track of those situations in the U.S. Keeping an international listing updated is going to be super consuming of time and resources. But if you or anyone is willing to help keep us updated on moves and changes of address, that would be a real help!

    I’m curious why the collective would choose to keep it only Americans?

    This database doesn’t include any prisoners held outside of the US prison system, and I think the collective wants to keep it that way. Maybe some day we’ll add a page for other countries.
