Daniel Burton-Rose
Where are the anarchist and environmental prisoners like Rob los Ricos, who had already been incarcerated half a decade by the time this anthology came again. Also, as with Imprisoned Intellectuals, Let Freedom Ring, and other political prisoner support books, there's too much recycling of old material. Primary document collections are great, but that's not how these are framed.
