Report of 4th July In Sheffield
At about 1 pm a publications stall was set up in the largely working
class Markets area of the city. This coincided with handing out of
hundreds of leaflets about US State Murder, Lorenzo Komboa Ervin's
call for a Moratorium on the death penalty, information about
specific prisoners and Taking Liberties - the newspaper of the
Anarchist Black Cross. Many people showed interest and we spoke to a
few ee-prison inmates who congratulated us on taking the initiative
saying "there must be more done for people inside" - we couldn't
agree more.
We then moved on to HMP Doncaster a shiny new efficient private
prison - in fact so efficient that 7 people have died there since it
opened. Providing the govt. with a safe means of execution of largely
un convicted and emotionally disturbed individuals.
After handing out the leaflets and Taking Liberties, the cameras
were focussed upon us and we were ejected from the prisons private
road. They kindly gave us the recommendation to write in to the
Director (note: not Governor) who they were sure would give us
permission to hand out the leaflets as he was " a decent bloke".
Once again several people (relatives) spoke to us and were keen to
hear what we were saying.
