An open letter to State Governors & Legislatures (Va. only)

Shut Down Red Onion and Wallens Ridge Prisons

13 so far! Help us get to 25 signers!

Red Onion and Wallens Ridge supermax prisons must be shut down. They are racist torture camps that perpetuate white supremacy and criminalization of marginalized communities. The criminalized people there are being abused and degraded and isolated. One man was kept in solitary for over a decade because he didn’t speak English. These are blatant human rights abuses that must be addressed. Virginia will never be free while these horrible prisons exist. SHUT THEM DOWN.
