Description: Out of Oakland, CA, this political zine is about the prison industrial complex and the authors' experiences interacting with it as white college students. Poetry, articles, and personal narratives all function to analyze the role of police in society, the dehumanization that occurs in prisons, and intersections of racism, classism, and sexism in prisons and the justice system. This zine is comprised of text and prisons photographs taken by the authors on an expedition that is also recounted in the text. Contributor Lucien writes a detailed study of this brother's trial and imprisonment for possessing LSD, and Socket includes a report of the Critical Resistance East Conference.
