Practicing journalism in prison is necessary, but incarcerated reporters face enormous risks and aggressive retaliation.

Over its run, @shadowproofcom has been an indispensable source of stories about prisons and criminalization that have a clear moral vision and a “long shelf life.” Here are 5 worth reading today.

@shadowproofcom has been an invaluable partner since we started our work -- they invested fully in incarcerated writers when few publications would, never apologized for merging abolition with journalism, and have changed a difficult media industry for the better. Much love 🩷
