Communities of Resistance (CoRe)

Building a campaign against Titan prisons

We dont need more prisons in Britain!

We are living in a time of global mass incarceration. Prisons are overflowing, imprisonment rates are sky-rocketing and prison costs are spiralling out of control.

Despite these trends, prisons have failed to make our communities safer. Prisons have failed to protect our neighbourhoods and have failed to stop violence against women, migrants, people of colour / ethnic minorities, poor communities, queer and trans people, children, youth and people with mental health issues. Prisons have instead fostered more violence and oppression. With the government about to embark on an enormous £2.3 billion prison building spree, including construction of the three massive ‘Titan’ prisons, the time to act is now.

We are calling on everyone with an interest in community organizing, social justice and anti-prison activism to join in the movement to stop the violence of prisons. Communities of Resistance (CoRe) is a new collective that is committed to the struggle against prison expansion in Britain. Our first project is launching a campaign is to Stop the Titan Prisons.
