Prison Radio has released its first special collec

Prison Radio has released its first special collections album on Bandcamp, available by sliding scale donations at: prisonradio.bandcamp.com 💻

On Palestine compiles commentaries from our correspondents throughout the years that encapsulate the interconnectedness of struggles for liberation both at home and abroad. Incarcerated voices have been advocating for Palestinian liberation for decades. This album attempts to highlight these transnational solidarities and ground them in the present moment. Through direct calls between our lead correspondent Mumia Abu-Jamal and several university encampments calling for a free Palestine, On Palestine works to acknowledge the work being done around the world to fight for an end to the zionist regime.

Beneath the Mountain: An Anti-Prison Reader (City

Beneath the Mountain: An Anti-Prison Reader (City Lights, 2024) is a collection of revolutionary essays providing a vital core of primary texts and insurgent writings by US dissidents and revolutionaries who experienced state terror and incarceration firsthand. Documenting the struggle, beginning with slavery, genocide, and colonization, up to our present day, it imagines a collective, anti-carceral future and centers the experiences and wisdom of those who have lived, and sometimes died, “beneath the mountain.” These essays point towards the impact of state terror, the role of prisons in maintaining social hierarchy, and how we should build and organize to disrupt the status quo. Beneath the Mountain honors the voices of those too often left out of the public discourse and suggests that their insights, when studied and applied, foster emancipatory consciousness.

Accomplishing such an ambitious project with an incarcerated person is both challenging and humbling all at once. We couldn’t quickly email each other back and forth, or pick up the phone and call when we needed to confer, solve a problem, or ask a question. Working together required a different approach. For example, we developed the Table of Contents while hanging out in the prison visiting room munching on chips, surprisingly fresh mediterranean salad from the vending machine, and a shared chocolate bar.

“Leonard.” Mumia proposed decisively. “Leonard must go in the book.” Of course, I agreed. Leonard Peltier, a native elder and member of the American Indian Movement, who has served 47 years after being unjustly incarcerated, was his very first suggestion. More followed in rapid succession. It wasn’t hard to decide who to put in Beneath the Mountain; the overwhelming challenge was that there was not space for everyone we wanted to include. This book through the links in our bio!

"So during Israel’s establishment, some 750,000 Palestinians were driven from their homes to make way for a Jewish majority state. This is why Palestinians have been resisting for more than seven decades. They’re fighting to remain on their lands. With dignity, they have valiantly resisted their colonial erasure. This resistance is not about returning to the 1947 borders or some notion of the past, but about laying claim to a better future in which Palestinians and their children can live in freedom and equality, rather than being subjugated as second class citizens, or worse."
