This month, we are putting a spotlight not only on incarcerated authors, but on incarcerated readers, too! As we celebrate Black liberation activism, it is integral to acknowledge and support the power of access to information, and how reading can raise collective consciousness and strengthen communities. Throughout Black August, we will be highlighting the kinds of books incarcerated readers seek out, from the philosophical to the fictional, to give a glimpse into the literary lives of those at the heart of the Black liberation movement. #blackaugust

Congratulations to our first graduating cohort of UnchainNY apprentices!

We're celebrating a WIN for the communication rights of incarcerated individuals in New York State prisons--not only is phone access more abundant than it's ever been due to our campaign to add phone capabilities to tablets on the inside, but it will soon be free of charge! This is a win for families who want to connect with their incarcerated loved ones but may have to choose between paying bills and paying for calls. And this is a win for incarcerated individuals seeking connection, especially in the aftermath of the illegal CO strike earlier this year, which still has many facilities locked down with limited visitation.

By centering the leadership of currently incarcerated individuals in New York State, Unchained seeks to focus our work based on the expertise of those experiencing the structural oppression of the prison system.

Through involvement from formerly incarcerated individuals and loved ones of those currently incarcerated, and with support from community members, Unchained creates effective policies that promote stability and break the cycle of incarceration for those in re-entry.

Unchained believes in a world where solutions for poverty, mental and physical illness, racism, and other struggles don’t involve police or prisons and instead rely on strong communities and education systems that provide peace and justice for all.
