Volume 23, Number 1 of the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons is a general issue edited by Professor Justin Piché (University of Ottawa). In this issue of the JPP, readers will find these three kinds of contributions that, although in written form, offer alternative images that make visible that which takes place inside otherwise opaque prisons.

This volume is the first issue of the JPP that will be fully available online as a free download on our website www.jpp.org. While readers are encouraged to continue purchasing subscriptions and hard copies of the journal where possible as sales sustain the publication, we encourage everyone to read and circulate the articles posted online widely.
