"4" Commonsense Prison Reform in Virginia
Virginia communities thrive when critical decisions about safety and respect are brought back to the community. That transforming the relationship between our communities and how our governments respond to crime is key to the health and safety
of our citizens, communities and state.

Thousand Kites with several Virginia prison reform advocates to host "Communication Strategies
to End the Prison Industrial Complex" track Session in Detroit during Allied Media Conference
June 23-26. This conference can result in national awareness and support towards reforming
Virginia's no parole law and it's affect (old law/new law).
RESISTING THE INCARCERATION NATION
Coordinators: Nick Szuberla, Thousand Kites; Paul Wright; Prison Legal News;
Critical Resistance, Silky Shah, Detention Watch Network; and Bruce Reilly, DARE
This track will build off the foundation laid by the Communication Strategies to End the
Prison Industrial Complex track at AMC2010. The twenty grassroots organizations who
participated in that track have spent the past year building partnerships and launching campaigns,
including a state-wide effort to challenge the no-parole law in Virginia, the launch of a national
grassroots prison radio project and many others. This year's track will continue to build and
advance media strategies for those working to dismantle the prison industrial complex in all of its
forms, including: immigration detention centers, isolated prisons, prisoner renting, human rights
violations, ICE raids, militarized police occupation of neighborhoods and the separation of families.
Bringing together urban and rural community media organizations we will develop powerful of
narrative campaigns—combining different forms of media (flip video, radio, print, web, phone,
and viral communication) to organize resistance to policing, surveillance, and imprisonment.
