Prisoner Self-Help Manual to Challenge Gang Validation (SHGV), 4th edition ©2010 ($20)

You know something is wrong with the system when CPF is getting flooding for requests from inmates and their families for this self-help manual which provides a step by step process about how to go about challenging a false validation of gang membership.  Currently we just ran out of our third edition and are in the process of updating it so we can put out the 4th edition.  We are hoping to have it ready by the first week of February.  You can receive a manual by requesting one via email (contact@prisons.org) and donating online, or by send us a check to address above.  We request a donation for $20 or more per manual to help cover copying and postage expenses.  Use "SHGV" to indicate you would like a Self-Help Gang Validation Manual.
