PRISONERS' STRUGGLES
Bruce Reilly is an artist, writer, and activist in Providence, Rhode Island. In 2005, he published NewJack's Guide to the Big House (1000 lbs. Gorilla Media), "the treatise of a ghetto philosopher". "As a Man who is now' free'," he writes, "I can tell you that all my work in prison pays off triple on the Outside". He is a Board member of Direct Action for Rights and Equality, and his latest project is a documentary on a private prison in Central Falls, Rhode Island. He, Andres, and thousands of others cast their first ballot in 2008. Andres is currently a student at Yale University Law School.
