PLN also has a subscription exchange with many other publications, from well-known alternative journals to very small independent newsletters. Another valuable source of information is the many newspaper clippings on prison issues sent to PLN by readers and subscribers. Imprisoned PLN readers also regularly send us first-hand reports that provide PLN with “insider scoops.” Many readers also send unpublished court decisions, which are a valuable source of unreported cases. PLN also investigates, develops and publishes information, some of which has been picked up by other media. The online research conducted by PLN staff is also a valuable source of news reports and court decisions, and we rely on studies, reports and audits prepared by government agencies and non-governmental organizations.

HRDC`s censorship protocol is to challenge official policies and practices that violate the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution in a way that interferes with our rights to free speech, including the ability to communicate with prisoners. The goal is to open the email guidelines not only to HRDC`s discourse, but also to all publishers and others who want to communicate with incarcerated individuals. Only the courts have the power to issue injunctions and injunctions to correct unlawful prison policies and practices and bring them into conformity with the Constitution. Prisoners generally do not have access to the Internet, but they are the ones who need PLN`s content the most. We encourage the dissemination of PLN web content to inmates as long as it is provided free of charge to inmates.
