Prisoner Letter Writing and Film Screening

Saturday, May 19, 9:30am-1pm, Northside Branch Library, 1423 N. High St.

Cages are disabling and traumatizing environments. As a result, prisoners suffer from low morale. They also suffer from a variety of human rights abuses committed by jail and prison officials such as torture and “extremely poor-quality health care.” These forms of violence are state-sanctioned. Therefore, we can’t expect meaningful oversight of Ohio’s concentration camps to come from the state.
