Share Your Radical Imagination: A Gift Guide

Greetings!

At Prison Radio, our mission has always been to amplify the truth from behind the walls, and to connect that truth to the larger struggle for liberation. The books we promote and create do exactly that. They illuminate the systems of power we’re fighting and inspire the imagination and courage needed to dismantle them.

As we continue to record and broadcast the voices of incarcerated people across the country, we invite you to explore these essential texts, powerful works of resistance and vision that speak directly to our mission.

We just had a longtime supporter order Beneath the Mountain for their niece- what a better way to inspire and build consciousness. Check out the works we use as compass and companion on our journey to freedom.

Beneath the Mountain

Edited by Mumia Abu-Jamal and Jennifer Black

This essential reader traces the lineage of anti-prison and abolitionist thought, from John Brown and Frederick Douglass to Assata Shakur, Angela Davis, and Leonard Peltier. Featuring revolutionary writings from those who have lived through incarceration and state terror, Beneath the Mountain connects past struggles to today’s abolitionist movement. It’s a guide for those working to dismantle carceral systems and imagine a world rooted in solidarity and liberation.

Murder Inc. Complete Set (Volumes 1–3)

By Mumia Abu-Jamal and Stephen Vittoria

From Columbus’s landing to today’s drone wars, Murder Incorporated exposes the unbroken chain of empire and violence that defines U.S. history. This bold, unapologetic trilogy challenges the myth of American exceptionalism and demands that we confront the crimes committed in our name. Written from deep inside the prison system, this collaboration between journalist Mumia Abu-Jamal and filmmaker Stephen Vittoria is both searing history and revolutionary education.

We Want Freedom: A Life in the Black Panther Party

By Mumia Abu-Jamal

Drawing from his years as a young Black Panther, Mumia offers a deeply personal and incisive account of the Party’s rise, repression, and enduring legacy. With his signature clarity and moral fire, he situates the Panthers within the long continuum of Black resistance. As Mumia writes from his prison cell, We Want Freedom bridges generations, reminding us that the demand for liberation has never gone silent.

Lumpen: An Autobiography.

By Ed Mead

Mead’s early incarceration at the Utah State Industrial School set him on a path of resistance against oppression. He co-founded the George Jackson Brigade, organized against prison injustices, and supported queer prisoners through Men Against Sexism. The book is both a personal memoir and a testament to revolutionary commitment, exposing the harsh realities of the American prison system while modeling courage, integrity, and creative resistance.
