lucky #13! new issue of "Tenacious: Art and Writings by Women in Prison"

"Tenacious" is a compilation of art and writings by currently and formerly incarcerated women nationwide. Stories in this issue include:

*dealing with harassment from prison guards
*a visit from the child given up for adoption
*having Hep C and HIV in prison
*trying to overcome society's arbitrary obstacles upon release
*the lack of "rehabilitative" programming in women's prisons

PM me if you want to trade. Or send $2 (which subsidizes sending free issues to incarcerated women) to:

yes! PM me your address please

I owe you #12 as well. PM me a snail mail address and I'll get one out to you. (I donated all my copies of LSM to the ABC No Rio zine library and never remember to look it up when I'm there)

Sometimes paper is the only thing that will listen to you.

Thank you!!!!!!

Did I ever tell you that I wrote a children's book in graduate school about having an incarcerated parent after doing a graduate internship with the now-defunct Family Support Program for Ex-Offenders in Austin? Never could find a publisher for it...

on their way to you

expect the last 2 issues of "Tenacious" to arrive soon(ish).

and no, you never told me about the children's book you wrote. You might want to dig it out and shop it around again. The prison=industrial complex isn't getting any smaller, but there's a revived interest in prisons and prisoner issues (and more public interest in how incarceration affects the kids who are left behind), so you might find a publisher now.
