All proceeds will benefit the Chapel Hill Prison Books Collective, a local prison abolitionist group that sends hundreds of books each month to prisoners in the South. In addition to providing vital political and self-educational resources to prisoners, as well as spreading a radical critique of the prison system on both sides of the wall, the group maintains an extensive radical 'zine catalog, publishes prisoners' art and writing in a bi-annual publication called "Words of Fire", and we hosts a regular prison abolitionist reading group. For more information on getting involved and supporting the collective, including our monthly sustainer program, please visit www.prisonbooks.info.
