www.prisoncensorship.info is a media institution run by the Maoist Internationalist Ministry of Prisons. Here we collect and publicize reports of conditions behind the bars in U.$. prisons. Information about these incidents rarely makes it out of the prison, and when it does it is extremely rare that the reports are taken seriously and published. This historical record is important for documenting patterns of abuse, and also for informing people on the streets about what goes on behind the bars.

We hope this information will inspire people to take action and join the fight against the criminal injustice system. While we may not be able to immediately impact this particular instance of abuse, we can work to fundamentally change the system that permits and perpetuates it. The criminal injustice system is intimately tied up with imperialism, and serves as a tool of social control on the homeland, particularly targeting oppressed nations.

Utah: Arbitrary Isolation, Digital Mail, and Lack of Accountability

by a Utah prisoner March 2025

Central Utah Correctional Facility (CUCF) has recently changed its mail policy to require incoming mail to be sent to a third party vendor called Pigeonly. Unfortunately, but not surprisingly, I have heard nothing but bad things about Pigeonly. Peoples’ mail is taking months to get here if it gets here at all.

Some other problems I have observed at CUCF includes the total lack of heat in the SMU. People are being put on “TRO” (Temporary Restrictive Order) for extended periods with no charges, no due process, and no recourse. TRO is the same conditions as punitive isolation: no phone, 15 minutes out of cell time three times per week, etc. It is de facto P1 at the whims of officers. At the time of this writing, several prisoners are grieving this practice.

That brings me to the next issue, which is that officers take long periods of time to address grievances, or simply move prisoners to avoid answering them altogether. If you could please send me the USW grievance petition, I would appreciate it.
