Prison Journalism and Censorship is a conversation between Empowerment Avenue incarcerated writers Christopher Blackwell, Kwanetta Harris, Sara Kielly, and Emily Nonko. Formerly incarcerated abolitionist Jessica Phoenix Sylvia moderates this virtual event.

This conversation focuses on the challenges incarcerated journalists face while communicating information through highly monitored structures that conspire to suppress information to and from the inside of prisons. Participants will discuss why prison journalism matters and why prison officials seek to censor and silence them.

Live captioning will be provided.

This event is co-sponsored by Interrupting Criminalization and Project NIA
