August 10th is prisoner justice day. A day in which those in prison can have a day of mourning & remembrance for others who have died while locked up in prison. Prisoners around the world also use the day for protesting against conditions. For a good history of Prisoner justice day and why it falls on this day visit

This year the No More Prison campaign are asking for activists to join together outside HMP Styal to show solidarity with the women locked up inside and to remember those who have died in women’s prisons all over the country.
It will also be a tribute to Pauline Campbell, who’s only daughter, Sarah, died in Styal prison. Pauline campaigned fearlessly against deaths in women’s prisons as well as advocating the closure of all women’s prisons.
