All media will be considered. Please send JPEG image submissions to: [email protected].

About RedBird Prison Abolition: We are a group of people in Columbus Ohio who want to see the prison system come to an end. RedBird supports prisoners through publishing their writing, setting up pen pals, hosting events and raising awareness.
