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.

Three men were arrested Sunday in the death of an illegal immigrant whose body was found Wednesday in a burning home in south Phoenix.

Sheriff's spokeswoman Lisa Allen identified the three men as 20-year-old Adan Beoanos Gonzales, 19-year-old Matthew Moreno and 24-year-old Booz Moreno.

Allen said the men allegedly beat and stabbed the victim to death and then set the house on fire.

No motive was released, and authorities have yet to release the victim's name.
