Prisoner Support and Solidarity
Post news about individual incarcerated people by including an all-caps tag of the [three-letter country code] at the start of the post and the person's name in bold somewhere in the title to make searching the community easier.
Its a good idea to include information about what organizations are sponsoring them, what forms of solidarity they've requested, and how to send them mail.
There's a prisoner database at Prisoner Solidarity and a list from Solidarity International that are useful for looking up people to correspond with.
Zines
Posts about zines and prison literature to share with friends or mail to prisoners should begin with the tag [Zine], and should link to a page with literature in printable document format or the PDF file itself.
Posts using the tag [Info] are reserved for moderators.

Some people calling in have reported they've been given the jail staff number: 940-766-8100 ext 4059. People can also try to call this number. Please report back what you are told!

Reports on the false and absurd things people have been told when calling in!
- The inmates can reach their legal counsel through phone, in-person visit or pen/paper
- Tablets aren't a requirement nor a right, they're a privilege
- The prison is at the mercy of the vendor & there are tablet shortages
When someone called the 8106 number, a person answered & tried to interrupt. Caller continued speaking & once done, an automated message said voicemail has been disabled for this extension

More reports on what people have been told when calling in!
- It's not a punishment to move Rowan to medical segregation, it's the only place they can hold then
- Rowan will NOT be moved back to gen pop
- It's a "security issue" & they will move Rowan back when they can
- Rowan's lawyer is the only one who can be in contact with the corrections facility for such information

3/26 UPDATE
The jail claimed Rowan was moved back to gen pop, which is false. This morning, we heard from Rowan confirming they're still in med seg.
The jail's other claim that Rowan was moved for "security reasons" is against jail standards, per Texas Jail Project. The jail's reasoning is clearly based on their desire to punish Rowan.
Please keep calling to pressure to the jail to move Rowan back to gen pop!
