The C.P.R published their Newsletter for 36 years. In June 2009 they decided they could no longer afford to mail the monthly newsletter to their 9,100 subscribers. The Real Cost of Prisons believed in the work of the C.P.R. To reach out to families, friends, allies of prisoners, we began posting the C.P.R. Newsletters in PDF format in July 2009.
The final issue of the CPR Newsletter was published in October, 2023, after decades of writing and sending them. Mara Taub, the editor of the Newsletter died on April 9th, 2026. With her passing the Coalition for Prisoners' Rights Newsletter is no longer publishing. We thank Mara Taub for her steadfast and heartfelt work on behalf of people who are incarcerated.
