RIP Brian McCarvill
It is with great sadness that we pass on news of Brian McCarvill, who died of Covid-19 in prison on September 27, 2020, the date of his 68th birthday. As a group, Brighton ABC were able to support Brian, and one of our members kept up a personal corresponce with him, for the last 20 years - he used to say that as a prisoner receiving a letter was better than any medication for depression.
A truely great man, who helped so many others incarcerated with him. He will be greatly missed.

About Our Prisoners Listings
You may have noticed recently that some of our usually reliable prisoners listings have been a little out of date. This is due to a current shortage in our group numbers and increasing commitments to other projects. You can help by sending any updates/contributions to the listings that you come across. Thanks in advance. In solidarity. Brighton ABC.
