Cruel and Unusual (2005)
Women, transgender women such as Ashley, Linda, Anna, Yolanda and Ophelia, are incarcerated in men's prisons across the U.S. from Wyoming to New Jersey and Florida. Denied medical and psychological treatment, victims of rape and violence, the documentary Cruel and Unusual asks if the punishment for their crime is indeed cruel and unusual?

Bristol ABC meets on the 2nd Wednesday of every month to collectively write letters to political prisoners in the UK and abroad, and also to radicalised social prisoners. We also chat about campaigns, prison news, and the generally appalling state of justice worldwide.
