Remembering Prisoners Over the Holidays

By: Campaign to End the Death Penalty
Monday, December 10, 2012

For most people, the holiday season is filled with family, friends, good food, and cheer. But for those in prison, the holidays can be an especially painful time to be separated from loved ones. As you are filling out your holiday cards this season, please remember the men and women who will spend the holidays behind bars. Receiving a holiday card filled with greetings and words of encouragement from you could really mean a lot to someone who has to spend the holidays away from his or her family.  

Many CEDP chapters and other groups fighting for justice also host holiday card writing events, which is a great way to get together in a more casual setting, make plans for the new year, and send some holiday cheer into prison walls.
