Guides and Suggestions for Supporting Prisoners

Tilted Scales Collective –

  • A Tilted Guide to Being a Defendant (free ebook download available) is a comprehensive guide to facing charges in the criminal legal system to help defendants not only figure out how to handle their legal cases, but also how to think about their cases based on their goals: personal, political, and legal. This book was written by dedicated legal support activists and draws on the wisdom of dozens of people who have weathered the challenges of trials and incarceration.
  • Representing Radicals helps lawyers understand ways to work with radical defendants, with an explicit focus on how to help them achieve ends that go beyond traditional legal goals. Understanding radical defendants’ goals and political priorities is a crucial part of providing them with the most robust criminal defense while helping them strengthen and defend their social movements. This book is based on the belief that lawyers and radical defendants can work together in ways that strengthen movements when fighting criminal charges.
