Direct action, sabotage, and other unruly forms of prisoner resistance are very common but often unreported. The Army of the Twelve Monkeys is a group of prison rebels who channeled and reproduced their tactics through the creation of manuals and other propaganda. The manuals, including some of the A12M propaganda has emerged through the prison walls, and made it to the internet. We’ve re-posted them here.

Other clues and rumors of A12M activities have unfortunately come mostly through the efforts of Sean Swain, who was accused of being A12M’s leader. Posts about these things can be found at Earth First! Journal, or Prison Books, out of North Carolina or at Swain’s site.

A prisoner calling himself Monkey #9 has written and released a few essays and statements since the initial outbreak.
