“When I was at ADX, I had received a letter out of nowhere from a Vietnam vet I didn't know. He was in Canada at the time and he had put a maple leaf that was changing colour into the letter. Now they don’t allow things like that at ADX, they don’t allow – you don’t see a blade of grass in ADX.  I got a letter with a leaf in there, they’ll call it a ‘nuisance item’, they’ll remove it as contraband but somehow, some way the mail room missed this leaf, and I got it in my cell and it was red and orange and yellow, it was changing colours.  And the fact that I can talk about it twenty years later....

On the eve of International Women's Day, CagePrisoners hosted an event to honour the forgotten women of the War on Terror -- the wives and sisters of those men held in Guantanamo Bay, detained on control order/TPIMs, subjected to SIAC restrictions, and extradited to America.  The evening featured the voices of women who have been immediately affected and also the perspectives of the women who have provided support. At the event, CagePrisoners also celebrated Victoria Brittain's new book, Shadow Lives.

On 11 January 2002, the first of nearly 800 prisoners was sent to the US military prison camp at Guantanamo Bay. Images of these men shackled, wearing orange boiler suits, goggled and masked shocked the world. Eleven years on, 166 prisoners remain in captivity- all without due process. Join us in the quest for justice against the world's most notorious prison system.
