On the Work Pod
June 2016
On the Work Pod is an interview with a former DCDF detainee about his time as a “volunteer” worker in the Durham Jail along with selected letters and art from others on work inside. The pamphlet sheds a scathing light on the exploitative nature of jail labor, even when supposedly “voluntary”.

Matthew was my heart my partner and crime .. It’s been 6 months since he left us .. And the news still havnt got no easier .. It’s still unreal .. I miss him like crazy … Nobody perfect we all make mistakes that shouldn’t be held against nobody .. They said he died from a sezuire that might be true but they could have helped him … Justice still havnt been served they just swepting under the carpet while they might have earsed his name from there mind he is always in mine … I love u chunky( Matthew ) rip thanks for all that inside alliance have done so far keep fighting for justice
