Founded in 1999 with the goal of offering support to people incarcerated in the many institutions of the u.s. criminal (in)justice system. Recognizing the role that prisons play in both the expansion of capitalism and the preservation of racism, we understand that our position as conscious individuals on the "outside" necessitates the support of our sisters and brothers on the "inside."

I am in awe! I have been receiving letters from inmates in the Eastern sections of the US wanting information about CellPals. I did not know about OFF. I do now and will help promote your project on CellPals to the fullest. Thank you so much for your faith in us. CellPals
ReplyDeletehi! this is great! we are really happy that the info we publish in OFF! gets around to folks. we are working on getting that next issue of OFF! printed as soon as we have raised the necessary funds. if you would like us to publish additional info on cellpals, we'll be happy to include it in the magazine, especially since we cannot currently provide pen pal services ourselves.
