AN ABOLITIONIST JAIL SUPPORT COLLECTIVE IN PGH
Jailbreak is a self organized group of community members providing free support to people inside or coming out of ACJ.
About
Jailbreak is an autonomous, free-form coalition of abolitionists in Pittsburgh working to support incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people inside of Allegheny County Jail.
We formed as a response to the horrendous conditions inside ACJ and as a response to the lack of resources formerly incarcerated people receive when they are re-entering society.
We do not believe in the possibility of ethical prison reform and instead advocate for the abolition of police, courts, jails and all detention centers. We believe no human should be in a cage and encourage the exploration and implementation of transformative justice and community accountability models of dealing with harm.
We have no formal leadership and encourage anyone (YOU!) to get involved. Everyone/all of us are accountable for the continuation of this project. Let’s all work to create better conditions for incarcerated and formerly incarcerated people in Pittsburgh.
