The Control Unit Emergency Response Network grew out of and is a part of the work of the December 1994 Philadelphia meeting about Control Unit prisons. We hope that the ERN will be built by that network of people and beyond. Generally speaking it will deal with issues related to the conditions of incarceration within Control Unit prisons, although there may be occasions for activating it that do not deal precisely or exclusively with that. However, control unit conditions will be the general focus.
The CONTROL UNIT ERN will consist of an e-mail network as well as a telephone tree. People can choose to be contacted by e-mail or telephone. However, if you rarely pick up your mail, think twice about choosing that mode. We hope that people will provide us with feedback when participating in the CONTROL UNIT ERN. If on e-mail, drop us a line. If on telephone, let your contact person know when you've made your protest. In that way, this will be a live network, with interaction back and forth.
