Volume 30(1) of the JPP is now available online

Today, the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons launched Volume 30, Number 1 - a general issue featuring contributions on various issues, including life sentences, use of force, solitary confinement, as well as barriers to community re-entry and the development of Convict Criminology. The Prisoners' Struggles section also explores the impact of COVID-19 on imprisoned people. The cover art was made by an anonymous imprisoned artist who founded Steel Door Studios. 

The digitization of this open access issue of the JPP was made possible through a University of Ottawa Faculty of Social Sciences Collabzium Grant. Click here to order a printed copy of the full issue via subscription through the University of Ottawa Press. The printed copies of the issue are scheduled to arrive at our office on March 16. They will be mailed to issue contributors and journal subscribers from there. 

This issue of the JPP is the first of four to be published in 2022. Forthcoming journal publications include special issues on "Anti-colonial Carceral Abolition" and "Desistance, Social Justice and Lived Experience", along with another general issue. We thank our contributors for continuing to write as resistance, as well as the University of Ottawa Faculty of Social Sciences and our subscribers for supporting their work.
