They won't be home this Christmas! - or any other Christmas!

It's not all love thy fellow man for tens of thousands of people who will spend this Christmas in prison.

MOJUK are in touch with 68 prisoners, many of them miscarriages of justice, many serving time beyond tariff with no sign of a release date.

Every year MOJUK asks recipients to send a card/message of solidarity to those who will spend Christmas behind bars.

Have broken the 68 down to 5 lists, so if you are minded to send a card/message of solidarity.

Just reply to this message and in the subject line put 'Subscribe' one, two or more lists.

Many thanks,
