Surviving home detention - the great lockdown

Image
Obviously the Freedom Shop is closed now while we are in lockdown. For prisoners and people in home detention, being separated from friends and family and having your movements curtailed is quite normal.  While we can't sell you books right now, you can download e-books from our comrades at AK Press - they're having a sale at the moment.
