An Introduction
As radical queers we resist the state’s
control over our bodies and our lives. As such,
actively supporting queer and trans folks en-
slaved by the prison-industrial complex must
be a part of our queer anarchist praxis and
analysis. We must understand the State's
mechanisms of control over our bodies, our
lers and our sexualities, and at the same
ime, express solidarity with those in its jaws.
Prison is a site of mi /, solitude, con-
straint, banality and violence for all prisoners.
But there are some who these at-
trocities to a greater inten: of suffering. In
supporting p ers, it is vital to critique and
understand the way the prison system works
to control certain bodies; transfolk, pom
of color, queer people, sex workers, disal
folks and womyn. It thus becomes clear why
a focus on queer and trans prison solidarity is
woefully necessary in our resistance.
Writing to prisoners is an extremely mean-
ingful way to offer emotional support to those
inside. Writing allows us to develop relation-
ships with other queer and transfolks which
in turn gives us a understanding of the
erations and machinery of prisons.
Included in this zine you'll find informa-
n about the case of the New Jersey 4, re-
urces and tips for being a prison pen pal,
1d most importantly, the name’s and address-
of a huge range of folks who need our love
d our solidarity.
We haven't included much information
out these folks. Write them! Get to know
em! You also won't find information about
e State’s accusations against its prisoners
thin these pages. We've excluded such in-
rmation as a gesture of rejection of the dis-
urse of crime and punishment. Such infor-
ation, is however, readily available from the
rious agencies Involved in imprisonment.
We at Bash Back! Press, encourage you
write to one (or many) of these folks and to
py and share this zine with as many people
possible.
Until every prison burns,
Bash Back!
The New dersey 4
On August 18, 2006, seven young Afri-
can American lesbians traveled to New York
City from their homes in Newark for a regu-
lar night out. When walking down the street, a
man sexually propositit one of the women.
After refusing to take no for an answer, he as-
saulted them. The women tried to defend them-
selves, and a fight broke out. The women were
charged with Gang Assault in the 2nd degree,
a Class C Felony with a mandatory minimum
of 3.5 years. Patreese Johnson was addition-
ally charged with 1st Degree Assault. Three of
the women accepted plea offers. On June 14th,
2007 Venice Brown (19), Terrain Dandri sm),
Patreese Johnson (20), and Renata Hill re-
ceived sentences ranging from 3 12 to 11 years
in prison.
The case of the New Jersey 4 lllustrates
the intersecting oppressions of race, gender
and sexuality. r situation exposes how the
prison industrial complex operates to punish
and imprison the bodies of queers, womyn and
people of color who resist queerbashing and
misogynist violence. .
Three of the New Jersey Four remain

Some Tips for Writing
1. In your first letter, it is always good
to introduce yourself and tell
some thlngl about you, but be smart
about sharing personal information
with folks you don’t know. Be clear
about why you're writing.
2. Research prison guildines for mail.
Prisons have many absurd regula-
tions in terms of what can or cannot
be sent in the mail.
3. Be sure to pm your return address
and the persol w 're wi to’s
name nnd # nn . They
often do not get thu envelope.
4. Remember, that the folks you're
writing to are people. Do not token-
ize, romanticize or politicize their
experience.
5. Don't talk about sketchy shit. It can
get both of ya'll in trouble.
