We're back! Building on the success of our inaugural conference last year, we are delighted to announce its return with the new theme: Beyond the Battlefield🗡️ The conference will take place at the University of Exeter on 2-3 September. Deadline for abstracts is 22 May. Please circulate widely!

Cards and letters can't simply be mailed, and any forbidden material is seized in cell searches. The source I have on the inside says the warden denied our request to distribute Easter cards to the children. As far as I can tell, the only people with access are clergy, NGOs, and members of congress.
