The Prison Industry and Ending the Exploitation of Those It Touches
Worth Rises Worth Rises is a non-profit advocacy organization dedicated to dismantling the prison industry and ending the exploitation of those it touches. Partnering deliberately with directly impacted people, we work to expose the commercialization of the legal system and advocate and organize to protect and return the economic value extracted from affected communities. We envision a society in which no entity or individual relies on human caging or control for their wealth, operation, or livelihood. Through our work, we strive to help pave the road toward a world without police and prisons. As part of our public education strategy, we conduct research, collect data, and perform innovative analyses aimed at unmasking the harms caused by the prison industry. Understanding the mobilizing power of knowledge, we transform our analyses into accessible and compelling content designed to increase awareness and shift discourse around the commercialization of the criminal legal system.

Human Rights Defense Center DEDICATED to PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS
Human Rights Defense Center DEDICATED TO PROTECTING HUMAN RIGHTS October 18, 2019 Dear HRDC Supporter, Every year we conduct an annual fundraiser in the fall because the income we receive from subscriptions and book sales alone do not cover the expenses of our advocacy work on behalf of prisoners, their families and the victims of police state violence and exploitation. We receive very little in the way of foundation funding and rely on individual donors – people like you – who can and do make a difference by donating to the Human Rights Defense Center (HRDC). HRDC Director Paul Wright We have had a very busy year. In addition to publishing Prison Legal News and Criminal Legal News, we filed a number of First Amendment censorship lawsuits around the nation; we continued to advocate for low phone rates for prisoners and their families; we sued the Palm Beach County jail in Florida and ended the practice of confining children in solitary confinement and depriving them of an education; we are publishing a new self- help book on prosecutorial misconduct and much, much more. Our social media presence on Facebook and Twitter, as well as our daily e-newsletter, continues to grow as we expand our advocacy. We continue to run the Campaign for Prison Phone Justice, Stop Prison Profiteering campaign and Prison Ecology Project. But we still need to do more. We want to make sure that all our readers, especially those in prisons and jails, can receive and read the magazines and books we publish and distribute. Since the very first issue of PLN was published in May 1990, we have faced censorship by detention officials who are not pleased with our news coverage of the criminal justice system. -
