Not being aware of any anarchist mailing list in Ireland or Yorkshire concerned with
Prisoners, Prisons and related areas, Dublin and Hull Anarchist Prisoner Support has decided to try and create some sort of place where information of this type can be
exchanged. It has thus created the
lumpenlist@anarchistps.org. We see no reason to keep this disscusion limited to Political or Pow's
and would encourage posting & debate about all categories of Prisoners and
Prisons.
To subscribe to the list send an e-mail with the text ' subscribe
lumpenlist '
to
majordomo@anarchistps.org (APS)

Start the new year with a letter to a prisoner
11.01.2004 16:28
We in Anarchist Prisoner Support have been helping Free with his harse
jail tearm for over two years now. Personally speaking he has become a
good friend, very down to earth, has many interests, including green
issues, anarchism, punk, to name a few, please take a few moments to
read the following. We all need to be doing more to help the many
people who are held by the state, but sadly our movement does little,
and at times ignores the prisoner issue altogether, why not for the new
year take time out mabe 20mins a week and write a letter to a prisoner,
it every anko head was to do this it would make a big differce.
remember these are dangers times
