     * Shorts from the INSIDE FILM PROJECT  (UK, 2006) Inside Film began in 
August 2006 in HMP Wandsworth with the aim of using film as a means of creative 
expression and as an educational tool. Out of the project emerged 5 exciting 
short films created and produced by prisoners, which use their own voices to 
tell their stories. http://www.insidefilm.org/


     * THIS BLACK SOIL (Teresa Konechne, USA, 2004) 58 minutes This 
award-winning film chronicles the inspiring struggle of Bayview, Virginia, USA, 
a small and impoverished rural African-American community, which successfully 
defeated a state plan to build a maximum-security prison in their backyard and 
instead pursued a new vision of economic justice.

Prisoners Justice Day is an international event started by prisoners to 
acknowledge and remember all those who have died in prison and police custody. 
Since 1995, more than 2000 people have died in custody in Britain.  This year 
alone, there have been 118 deaths in custody in England and Wales.  As the 
British government currently embarks on a massive prison expansion project to 
create 20,000 new prison spaces, even more people will be vulnerable to such 
violence. This film event will provide an opportunity to reflect on organizing 
against deaths in custody and to link with current struggles against prison 
expansion, immigration and psychiatric  detention and state violence both at 
home and abroad.

This event is free.
