Wondering if any scholars know about SHADOWS, a journal "published monthly by and for the inmates of the Oregon State Penitentiary to permit self-expression, provide a medium of discussion for public problems and serve as an entertainment feature." I just read an article in vol 17:9 (Sep 1952).

Its #AMA time once again #Skystorians! Brianna Nofil, author of "The Migrant’s Jail: An American History of Mass Incarceration" is here to answer all your questions about immigration detention, deportation, and how the U.S. has policed its borders.

my first recommendation: the book my students were obsessed with! carceral-history.ghost.io/the-book-my-...

getting this thing up and running! building my list of authors with upcoming pub dates— if that’s you, don’t hesitate to reach out!

Yet again, In solidarity I am happy to share EFF’s surveillance self defense guide for attending a protest:
