Documents from the 2017 Vaughn Uprising

A collection of documents related to the February 2017 Vaughn uprising in Delaware, when inmates rose up in a rebellion against both their immediate living conditions and the beginning of Donald Trump's presidency.

For further information on the Vaughn Uprising, listen to the audio interview with Thomas Gordon available here.
The attachments to this post are a poster about ways to support the Vaughn 17, and a zine, "Live from the Trenches", in which the Vaughn inmates speak out in their own words.

As of June 2019, the Vaughn 17 were held at the following addresses:
