About this record

A defendant support handbook from the Tilted Scales Collective written by experienced legal-support activists. The guide draws on the wisdom of dozens of people who have weathered trials and incarceration in political cases — covering pretrial decisions, plea negotiations, cooperation pressure, mental and physical health under indictment, family and community support, sentencing, prison preparation, and post-release reintegration. Distributed by libcom.org / The Tilted Scales Collective. Surfaced via @PplsCityCouncil (March 2026).
