Incarcerated people depend on their voices being heard outside the walls for their grievances against prison officials to be effective inside. Without public pressure from family, friends and other supporters, the prison guards, supervisors and administrators can literally get away with murder.
Bryant Arroyo has been a voice from inside Pennsylvania prisons for years. Arroyo is serving a life sentence for a crime he did not commit. He is still contesting this in court. He has dedicated himself to organizing from the inside and mobilizing prisoners to fight back against the horrendous conditions authorities impose on incarcerated workers.

Vaccines required when York County Prison work release resumes
The decision was made at Wednesday s prison board meeting.
Work release is scheduled to resume Aug. 23 after being halted due to the pandemic, Warden Adam Ogle told the board. The decision to require vaccines came after consultation with medical staff at the prison. If somebody is in the voluntary work release program and they end up getting COVID, they ll potentially have to shut down the entire work release area, Ogle said. We re trying to avoid that. We re also trying to avoid spread in the community.
Several wardens across Pennsylvania are requiring vaccines before work release, Ogle said. That includes Cumberland County.
