100 Days to Close Guantanamo and End Torture!
Witness Against Torture announces a new chapter in the campaign to close the U.S. prison camp at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, end torture and indefinite detention, as well as stop extra-ordinary rendition by the U.S. Government.
The 100 Days Campaign brings together a coalition of groups and individuals who will take part in demonstrations, educate Congress and the public, and engage in nonviolent direct action. We invite you to come to Washington and participate, or else join or plan an action in your own community.
Witness Against Torture

Prison Profiteers
Locking up 2.3 million people isn’t cheap. Each year federal, state, and local governments spend over $185 billion annually in tax dollars to ensure that one out of every 137 Americans is imprisoned. Prison Profiteers looks at the private prison companies, investment banks, churches, guard unions, medical corporations, and other industries and individuals that benefit from this experiment with mass imprisonment.

Lucasville Uprising Anniversary
All About Lucasville

15th anniversary of the 1993 Lucasville Prison Uprising.
Ten men died. Five men are on Death Row and many more are serving additional sentences.
The story of the Lucasville Five is a textbook case for what is wrong with the death penalty. The ease with which the state has been able to bring these men to the point of execution will make any viewer want to rethink not only the justification for these convictions, but the legitimacy of the death penalty itself!
“Lucasville: The Play

Martin Luther King Day Rally at Ohio's Death Row
In what is becoming an annual event to oppose Ohio’s death penalty, the family members, the Lucasville Five Defense Committee out of Cleveland and other prisoner-advocacy groups openly protested executions and prisoner treatment in general inside the walls of the facility that now houses most of the death row inmates.
Warren Tribune Chronicle

Staughton Lynd on Amy Goodman's Democracy Now!
Nine prisoners and a hostage officer were killed. A surrender was negotiated, and no sooner was the surrender negotiated with various prisoner spokespersons than the state of Ohio turned around and began to build death penalty cases against those very leaders and spokespersons. They didn’t care who had really done things. They wanted to nail the leaders so that no prisoner would ever have this idea again.

Rethinking Ohio's Death Penalty
YOUNGSTOWN - About 50 opponents of the death penalty gathered outside the Ohio State Penitentiary to send a message. "We have a new governor," said Susan Schnur, 49, of Cleveland. "We're hoping this is a starting point. We want Governor Strickland to see us." Full article

Prisonersolidarity IN THE NEWS
WBAI, New York - 99.5 FM Pacifica Radio
Radio journalist Mimi Rosenberg read Daniel McCauley's Prisonersolidarity essay in a show that was dedicated to his memory, which focused on youth incarceration, rehabilitation, prison reform, and the inhumane conditions at supermax prisons (a comparison is made between Youngstown's Ohio State Penitentiary and Guantanamo). The interviewed guests were Staughton and Alice Lynd. Rosenberg's report aired on WBAI New York, on the nationally syndicated morning show, "Wakeup Call." You may listen to and download the interview at WBAI's program archive: It is the June 6, 7 a.m. "Wakeup Call." - Prisonersolidarity.org 

The Cleveland Free Times
Though Hasan is still in jail, he's busier than ever. The 44-year-old writes and receives dozens of letters in his supermax cell. He needs to convince more people that he was convicted on jailhouse snitch testimony that's since been recanted or contradicted, and without the advantage of alternative witness accounts.
So almost every day, Hasan writes. He posts regular missives on a Web portal, prisonersolidarity.org (which he also edits), to communicate between prisoners and those on the outside. And he constantly sends letters to possible supporters. Read full article
