How does PLN get the information published in the magazine?
A. PLN is on all the online news feeds for prison and jail news. PLN has a subscription exchange arrangement with scores of other publications, from well-known alternative magazines to very small, independent newsletters. Another valuable source of information is the scores of newspaper clippings about prison related matters mailed to PLN by readers in the U.S. and other countries. Imprisoned PLN readers also regularly send first person accounts that provide PLN with “inside scoops.” Many readers also send “unpublished” court rulings that are a valuable source of not normally reported information. PLN also investigates, develops and breaks news stories, some of which have been picked up by other media. Online research by PLN staff are also a valuable source of news stories.
