Great Britain : Letter from Prisoner Emma Sheppard, March 2015
8 April 2014Last night I saw the moon and a star. It was the first time in a long-time. It made me think of all my friends, old and new, and wonder what they were doing under its glow. I feel so lucky to be part of a wide network of people. Anything seems possible when you know you have support. But whilst these thoughts make prison bearable, I will never forget the violence of the system.

Italy: Update by the anarchist prisoners in AS2 unit in Ferrara prison
8 March 2014Alfredo [Cospito] came back from solitary confinement to the unit on February 28. The same day Graziano [Mazzarelli] was taken away.

England : Letter from anarchist prisoner, Emma Sheppard
5 March 2014I just watched myself on TV, which I hope is an experience I never repeat. It cheered everyone up on the wing though! I thought I’d write to try and process some of the stuff that’s been happening. But I’m not feeling at my most eloquent (plus I’m obviously limited by my surveillance) so I thought I’d use some of the quotes that have inspired me since being in prison.

Greece : Statements of prisoners held in the C. type high security prison of Domokos
21 February 2014We, the prisoners, who live and die like animals in these prisons –warehouses for humans, denounce those who created these prisons,in the first place the former Minister Athanasiou, as responsible. These chiefs have spent huge amounts, especially for electronicsurveillance and external security by over-equipped special police forces, however they are criminally indifferent to our life andhealth. Also, they ignore their own laws, prison rules and internal arrangements, that are there to assure medical and pharmaceuticaltreatment for prisoners.
