Very sad news, another incredible news outlet is lost 😭

Shadowproof set high standards for covering prisons, jails, and policing, and supporting the journalists willing to produce that coverage. We wish the best to the Shadowproof team, and thank them for supporting this story by Sierra Dickey earlier this year theshoestring.org/2023/06/19/red…

So appreciative of Shadowproof + @bsonenstein for the space they offered to young writers & incarcerated ones One of my first ever freelance pieces was published here, a story that very few places would run: Why so many Trans support organizations focused on prison abolition

Thank you for all the work. 💙✊🏽💙

Shadowproof has been an invaluable partner since we started our work -- they invested fully in incarcerated writers when few publications would, never apologized for merging abolition with journalism, and have changed a difficult media industry for the better. Much love 🩷

Solidarity and love to Kevin Gosztola and @bsonenstein and everyone involved in Shadowproof. Your contributions have been invaluable and we can’t wait to see what’s next.

Congratulations to Kevin Gosztola and @bsonenstein for an amazing run on Shadowproof A great platform and great journalism. You accomplished a lot. youtube.com/watch?v=lYsQQZ…

Thank you for the years of dedication and principled reporting when it came to our inside resistance. You all laid the ground work for so many in that field when it came to reporting on prisons and prisoners. On the behalf of Jailhouse Lawyers Speak we will forever be grateful!

Over its run, Shadowproof has been an indispensable source of stories about prisons and criminalization that have a clear moral vision and a “long shelf life.” Here are 5 worth reading today.

In 2018, Shadowproof broke the news that USDA had provided $277 million in funding for counties to build new or bigger jails. For those of us working to show how our government invests in punishment rather than care, this story was/is pivotal. shadowproof.com/2018/06/06/277…

Their 2015 series on Advanced Correctional Healthcare showed how “correctional healthcare” companies callously neglect incarcerated people and employ the doctors no one else wants: shadowproof.com/prison-protest…

Through its Marvel Cooke Fellowship, Shadowproof funded robust abolitionist journalism, like this story about inside/outside organizing for “earned time” credits in Washington State… shadowproof.com/2022/09/28/in-…

…and this 2021 story about the fight for reparations for forcibly sterilized prisoners in California: shadowproof.com/2021/05/12/sur…

And this year, they published an expose by writers at Empowerment Avenue into the dangerous conditions facing prison journalists. shadowproof.com/2023/09/19/fro…

. Shadowproof was ahead of its time in bringing incarcerated writers' voices into the mainstream and busting myths propagated by departments of corrections. We're grateful for their amazing run.

Shadowproof Thank you Shadowproof for your principled work over the years. We will miss you but will keep finding your influence as we move forward

I have appreciated your work over the years especially your principled coverage of strikes which while centering the actions and voices of people inside also avoided uncritically accepting wild proclamations of contrived victories. .wonderful work and principles you will share l

Shadowproof Deep appreciation and admiration to Brian, Kevin, and everyone involved with Kyle Elliot for your vital work over many years.

Shadowproof You are one of the good guys --thank you for your brave work and glad to read that you'll be carrying on via Kevin Gosztola at Dissenter.
