Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition

The Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition is rooted in our commitment to address the needs and demands of survivors. Survivors have identified crucial demands that lie at the heart of our collective efforts:

  • end the use of solitary confinement, which has been used as retaliation against those who report sexual assault

  • confidential, community-based reporting

  • access to outside advocates

  • community-based healthcare + mental healthcare

  • release + reparations for survivors

  • safeguards against ICE detention + deportation

To achieve these goals, we uplift survivors’ voices and push for systemic change through:

  • visits, calls and correspondence with people at FCI Dublin

  • legal services for survivors 

  • restorative justice processes for released survivors

  • advocacy to state and federal officials

  • testimony to government agencies and committees 

  • civil litigation

  • public campaigns to pressure ICE to safeguard noncitizen survivors from detention and deportation

  • community education + mobilization

Who We Are

Formed in 2021, the Dublin Prison Solidarity Coalition is a partnership of people currently and formerly at FCI Dublin and their supporters. Through our collective efforts, we aim to create a platform that amplifies the voices of survivors in order to uplift their demands and push government officials to enact systemic change.
