"We are inviting all like-minded women to join us in highlighting the conditions in this degrading establishment." - are men also welcome at this demo ??

Cornton Vale

A good wee demo on important issuesThree members of ABC Scotland attended in support. We found the Women's Interest Collective to be knowledgable and committed. Their placards reflected the real issues that most of the inmates should never be in prison, and that their treatment in prison - such as being manacled when in labour - is barbaric. We hope to cooperate further in future on Cornton Vale and the judicial treatment of women.

How do I get in contact with the Women's Interest Collective?

Re: Cornton Vale Peaceful Demo Aug 4th @12.30pm

I'm not in the collective, but I do have their contact details. I don't want to publish them here on their behalf without permission but if you email criticalmess@riseup.net I'll forward it. I'll also email them today to alert them to your request here simply as I'm not sure they check here regularly.
