Biography

Monsour Owolabi is a New Afrikan poet, writer and prisoner-organizer serving life without parole in Texas since 2011 on a murder conviction he contests. Politicized inside, he has organized around prison slave labor and solidarity campaigns, published essays and poetry (Scalawag, Texas Letters), and been held in prolonged isolation that supporters describe as retaliation for his organizing.
