  • Survivors Manual for Women.Pdf
    January 2019 COMPILED AND EDITED BY ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ Bonnie Kerness Program Director, American Friends Service Committee Prison Watch Program 89 Market St, 6th Floor Newark, NJ 07102 973-643-3192 [email protected] Lydia Thornton Editor, Prison Watch Program Rachel Frome Editor, Prison Watch Program Margeaux Biché Editor, Prison Watch Program From Her Mouth to Your Ears 2 WOMEN’S SURVIVOR’S MANUAL ​ ​ The American Friends Service Committee Prison Watch Program is a human rights monitoring and advocacy program focusing on conditions of confinement in United States prisons. The human rights abuses that occur in U.S. prisons, jails, and juvenile and immigration detention facilities are a violation of international laws, such as the United Nations Convention Against Torture and the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Racial Discrimination — two treaties that the U.S. has signed and ratified. These abuses serve to create a cycle of violence whereby United States society suffers. AFSC has long opposed the use of isolated confinement by prison administrations and has challenged conditions of them. We continue to provide direct services on a limited basis, largely to those inside requesting “The Survivor’s Manual: Survival in Solitary Confinement.” Prison Watch first published this manual in 1998 in response to the “no touch” torture reported from isolation units inside U.S. prisons. That manual consists of extensive testimonies that people held in solitary confinement units wrote on surviving these illegal and cruel conditions of confinement. Not only is U.S. prisons use of isolated confinement inappropriate, it also violates international law in the United Nation Convention Against Torture.

  • Meyenberg Parks
    #6 2000 ISSN 1715-0094 Meyenberg, N. and Parks, S. (2000). Getting started: Creating coalitions on the local level. Workplace, 6, 60-69. NICOLE MEYENBERG AND STEVE PARKS GETTING STARTED: Creating Coalitions on the Local Level When Teachers for a Democratic Culture was approached by Workplace to submit an article for an issue dedicated to "prisons and education," we decided to write the article together. Each of us arrives at the issue from a different perspective. While we have both been active in university movements for social justice, one of us was particularly active in the anarchist and prisoner support movement; the other has been active in developing academic programs linking the university and its students to community-based social movements. In considering this article, we became interested in how any discussion of the "prison/education" dynamic must account for larger global trends affecting both sectors. We began to wonder how organizations at the local level might work together to confront the larger political/economic trends impacting the prison/education dynamic. In the following essay, then, we offer an analysis of the current relationships between education, prisons, and movements for social justice. Then, by examining our work in Philadelphia, we provide several models for how local coalitions could be built and maintained. We conclude with some thoughts about future work. We Hold These Truths to be Self-Evident Truisms are often criticized when they appear in student writing. As teachers, we hope our students provide more subtle ways of framing a question or posing a solution than the cliché. Yet truisms also provide a window on common sense, a shorthand statement for where the larger culture places its values.
