Speakers:

  1. Kushal Sood (prison lawyer at Instalaw)

  2. Amal (IWOC)

  3. And a further speaker from SmashIPP

Join us for an evening of learning about the current prisoner movements in the UK, their struggles of building solidarity between people inside and outside of prison and how lawyers can help.

We’ll have presentations by an eminent prison lawyer and speakers from two abolitionist organisations at the forefront of fighting against the poor treatment of prisoners – Incarcerated Workers Organising Committee and SmashIPP. After the speakers will lead a breakout discussion on practical tips for success at parole hearings and strategise creative solutions to the problems encountered in prisoner organising.
