Welcome to the UPAN Newsletters page! Here, you can access and download PDFs of all our newsletters, meticulously crafted to support and inform your incarcerated loved ones. Each issue, curated by our dedicated Newsletter Editor Warren Rosenbaum and Editor-in-Chief Molly Prince, is precisely 10 pages. This design allows you to print them front-and-back on standard 20 lb. bond printer paper and mail them in a #10 envelope with a single first-class stamp. Encourage friends to stay informed by subscribing to our mailing list (the form is located on our website sidebar).
Special thanks to our volunteers who assist in sending newsletters to those without external support. For mailing lists and queries, contact our Volunteer Coordinator Deon Corkins at [email protected]. Missed an issue? Browse our recent editions or explore the full archive below.
