Hey folks,

In case you are interested, below are the links for a 40-page resource package on:

THE QUEER, FEMINIST & TRANS POLITICS OF PRISON ABOLITION

It is UK-focussed, but should be of relevance in broader contexts as well. Feel free to pass along to anyone who is interested and feedback is welcome.

Full Version (10.46 MB):

Compressed Version (1.92 MB)

[Note that both links have the same content, but the compressed version has reduced-quality images, which means it's a smaller document but won't be as high quality for printing.]
