Welcome to the Prison Reform Unity Project Website
Prison Reform Unity Day is
the 3rd Saturday in October of each year.
HELP MAKE THIS PROJECT AN UNPRECEDENTED SUCCESS FOR ALL!
|
We are always looking for motivated people committed to prison
reform. If you, or someone you know, is interested in revising the current
system of injustice, abuse and neglect rampant throughout our prisons, please
give them this URL to find out more on how to become involved. We are not an
organization. We are a grassroots movement of organizations, groups, friends
and families of the incarcerated, demanding HUMAN RIGHTS and true justice for
prisoners and their families. CONTACT BY E-MAIL: PRUP@JUSTICE.COM

group of thoughtful committed people can change the world. Indeed it is
the only thing that ever has."

be silent in the face of injustice is to be an accomplice to evil. I will
not be silent."
~Lori Berenson
"The
mood and temper of the public in regard to the treatment of crime and criminals
is one of the most unfailing tests of the civilization of any country."

does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority
keen to set brush fires in people's minds...”
