Prisoner Letter Writing Night - Solidarity with Aging Prisoners **ACCESSIBLE PROJECT**

Date: Sep 27, 2017 at 6:00pm to 8:30pm
Aging People in Prisons- Human Rights Campaign (Previously known as the RAPP Campaign) in association with DC Stampede is hosting a letter writing night. "The vast majority of seniors in prison, many who have been in prison for decades, are routinely denied parole and compassionate release by the state. They are often denied release even though they pose no threat to the public. Join Aging People in Prison Human Rights Campaign in showing support and solidarity with these folks. We’ll provide all the materials and a quick “how to” for writing to people in prison. We will also write to governors and parole boards who hold the power to intervene in individual cases, and learn how mass incarceration affects prisoners in their '60s, '70s, and '80s."
