Welcome to another episode of 1919Radio. In this episode, our host Caleb is joined by Stevie from the Prisoner Correspondence Project (PCP). This episode is a part of our outreach program to provide support for their penpal initiative. 

Established in 2007 in Montreal, The Prisoner Correspondence Project (PCP) organizes to facilitate communication between LGBTQIA2S+ prisoners in Canada and the United States with individuals of their communities outside of prison. They view their work as an opportunity to draw the wider LGBTQIA2S+ community into prison justice organizing and build upon gay liberation legacies and the larger prison justice movement.

Their work emphasizes that letter writing is the basic first step of any kind of prison support and has a tangible impact on the isolation of a prison sentence. If you are interested in initiating a correspondence and helping link incarcerated folx to resources, education and community support not reachable in prison, check out the PCP website.
