Queer prisoner pen pal network
launching
A letter-writing programme targeted at
takatāpui, queer, trans, and/or intersex people in prisons
called the Prisoner Correspondence Network (PCN) is
launching this month with a call for
participants.
Following concerns about the welfare of
queer and especially trans prisoners within a rapidly
increasing prison population, PCN is aiming to provide queer
people on the inside with friendship, support, writing
practice and personal expression free from
judgement.
PCN was started by members of the queer
community in Auckland. The network organisers are asking for
any interested free or incarcerated queer people to contact
them at pcnaotearoa@gmail.com or PCN / PO Box
5870 / Wellesley St / Auckland
1141.
