Monsour Owolabi

Monsour Owolabi is a New Afrikan poet, writer and prisoner-organizer serving life without parole in Texas, imprisoned since 2011 on a murder conviction he contests. Politicized inside, he writes on New Afrikan independence and prison abolition, has organized against prison slave labor and around solidarity campaigns, and has published essays and poetry in Scalawag and Texas Letters. He has been held in prolonged isolation his supporters describe as retaliation for that organizing. This archive also documents him as a political prisoner, at /prisoner/monsour-owolabi.
