Prison Health News Relaunched!

Prison Health News, founded in 2001, is a quarterly newsletter written by and for people who have been in prison or are currently living behind the walls.

Spanning topics on medical updates, health care advocacy tips and mutual support, Prison Health News works to build community across the prison walls that divide us.

Our readers are living inside a system that denies them prevention tools and treatment information about HIV, hepatitis, and other health issues. They are dealing with medical neglect, daily humiliations driven by intense stigma, and the destruction of their communities by mass imprisonment.

After a few years break, Prison Health News is now up and running again, and is being produced by a Philadelphia-based collective of writers and editors, most of whom have been in prison and are living with HIV.
