The 36 page pamphlet was
originally released by Leeds ABC in 2007 and focuses on two tireless
militants of the Spanish prison struggle, Xose Tarrio Gonzalez and
Gabriel Pombo Da Silva, who fought against the brutal F.I.E.S. isolation
units. Xose was killed by a life behind bars, and Gabriel now rots in a
German prison. As well as biographical pieces on Gabriel and Xose and a
short excerpt from Xose’s book ‘Huye! Hombre, Huye!’, the pamphlet
contains a first-hand account of the Aachen trial (see below) and an
introduction by Mark Barnsley. The main part of PRISON WAS CREATED FOR
THE POOR though, is the text of an interview with Xose and Gabriel’s
mothers, Pastora and Julia. The interview took place during the trial of
Julia’s son, Gabriel, and her daughter Begoña, and of Gent ABC activist
Bart De Geeter and Gabriel’s fellow escapee, José Fernandez Delgado, in
Aachen, Germany, in 2005. Through this medium, they tell a powerful and
emotional story, which not only takes us inside the world of Spanish
high security prisons, but reflects on jails throughout the world.
Like far too many comrades, Gabriel and Jose remain in the dungeons
of The Enemy, and as with so many long-term prisoners, attention has
shifted away from them to the point where little recent material can be
found about them on the internet. In view of this, Leeds ABC have agreed
to a request to release our pamphlet as a PDF file. While Leeds ABC
remain committed to publishing material in ‘hard copy’, which we believe
is more universally accessible, and also raises funds for the direct
support of prisoners (and not for the arrogant North American parasites
who constantly rip-off our publications), as with some of our other
pamphlets, we have decided to publish PRISON WAS CREATED FOR THE POOR as
a PDF in the hope that its wider circulation will increase solidarity
with Gabriel and Jose.
We hope that you will enjoy reading PRISON WAS CREATED FOR THE POOR and that it inspires you to revolutionary action or at least to support those comrades who find themselves behind bars. Gabriel and Jose’s prison addresses are as follows:
Gabriel Pombo Da Silva,
JVA Aachen,
Kefelder Str. 251,
52070,
Aachen,
Germany.
Jose Fernandez Delgado,
Aachenstr. 47,
53359,
Rheinbach,
Germany.
Advice on writing to prisoners, as well as the details of other imprisoned comrades in need of support, can be found on the Leeds ABC website.
If you would prefer to read PRISON WAS CREATED FOR THE POOR in hard-copy, it can be obtained directly from Leeds ABC (details on the Leeds ABC website) or from radical booksellers such as AK Press. As with all Leeds ABC publications, all profits made from sales are used for the direct support of class struggle and Anarchist prisoners.
