About the ABC
The Anarchist Black Cross was originated in Tsarist Russia to organise aid for political prisoners. In the late 1960s the organisation resurfaced in Britain, where it first worked to aid prisoners of the Spanish resistance fighting the dictator Franco's police. Now it has expanded and groups are found in many countries around the world. We support anarchist and other class struggle prisoners, fund-raise on behalf of prisoners in need of funds for legal cases or otherwise, and organise demonstrations of solidarity with imprisoned anarchists and other prisoners.

The Prison Within The Prison
The Spanish State's prison system condemns political and rebellious prisoners to the FIES isolation units, brutal and dehumanising "prisons within the prisons" which have been the focus of widespread resistance, on both sides of the walls. In this booklet, some of the participants in this revolt against prisons and the state share their thoughts and experiences. [38 pages] Also available as a paper copy for £1 including postage.
