The following are links to reports that were collected by FedUp! from letters, grievances, and lawsuits sent by people in prison. We understand that we are only receiving one side of the story. Because Prison Staff has every ability to cover up their tracks, because they are the ones in the position of power, because the prisoner is always assumed guilty, and because the prisoners’ story seldom is told we believe it is important to give voice to this side of the story.
