PRISONERS' STRUGGLES
This manifesto was written by men incarcerated at the Saskatoon Provincial Correctional Centre as part of the Inspired Minds: All Nations Creative Writing program, a partnership between SCC and the University of Saskatchewan. It is based on and borrows language from a similar manifesto, “Nothing About Us Without Us: A Manifesto by People Who Use Illegal Drugs” (see http://www.aidsalliance.org/assets/000/000/377/310-2.-Nothing-about-us-without-us-Manifesto- (English)_original.pdf?1405520241), which encourages the free use, adaptation, and dissemination of its contents. The manifesto was originally published in June 2015 as part of the Land, Peoples, Justice initiative (see http://landpeoplesjustice.usask.ca/index.php). Participants in this project expressed their hope that people who are incarcerated around the world will either adopt this manifesto or use it as the basis for creating their own manifesto. Reproduction of the manifesto is encouraged, as is the adaptation of its contents.
