The 'Friends of Marcia Powell' are autonomous groups and individuals engaging in prisoner outreach, informal advocacy, and organized protest and direct actions in a sustained campaign to: promote prisoner rights and welfare in America; engage the Arizona public in a creative and thoughtful critique of our system of "justice;” deconstruct the prison industrial complex; and dismantle this racist, classist patriarchy...

Retiring "Free Marcia Powell"

As of December 2, 2010 (with occasional exceptions) I'm retiring this blog to direct more of my time and energy into prisoner rights and my other blogs; I just can't do anyone justice when spread so thin. I'll keep the site open so folks can search the archives and use the links, but won't be updating it with new posts. If you're looking for the latest, try Arizona Prison Watch. Most of the pieces posted here were cross-posted to one or both of those sites already.

Thanks for visiting. Peace out - Peg.

Goddard Campaign Stop SAT NOV 14

Hey All - don't know who's out Maricopa way, but we don't have to go in and pay $65 to get attention drawn to prison / sentencing / CJ reform and prison privatization concerns. There's all sorts of ways to bring it to the Democrats' attention...

Note that David Lujan will also be there - he wants to be the next Attorney General - so we've got to catch him.
