PAPYRUS COLLECTIVE DISTRO

In august 2014 we created our own distribution co-op of WODZ (WRITEORDIEZINE) as a
way to meet the growing number of request from our contributors and other California
Death Row prisoners in east block by putting together and printing new releases of
WODZ annually. Working together with our lead contributors we combined our limited
resources and man-power to keep new releases of WODZ annually. Working together with
our lead contributors we combined our limited resources and man-power to keep new
releases of WODZ in the hands of those here at San Quentin prison who want it.

Here we are in 2017. After writing, designing, printing, distributing, and funding
WODZ along the way, the creation of our first catalog or ALL WODZ issues was a
practical extention of what we've been doing since this distribution co-op began.
The following WODZ exhibits the work of papyrus collective contributing writers,
artists, coordinators, and the new distro co-op. Consistant and committed.

SOUTH CHICAGO ABC ZINE DISTRO

ABC zine distro is our publishing & distribution primary. If you have this catalog
(whether you're on the row or @ a prison other than here) and you don't know who to
get @, you can write to the ABC zine distro addy and request WODZ by title or #. It
cost you nothing, but please, cover your own postage or sase. WODZ is free to all
prisoners, copyleft and free to duplicate and distribute. So do your part in order to
keep this thing going. Write or die.

*THE NUMBERS IN PARENTHESES (#) ARE HOW MANY SHEETS OR PAPER AND PAGES EACH ISSUE HAS:
4 SHEETS IS ONE OUNCE, 10 IS TWO. ANYTHING OVER FIVE OUNCES REQUIRES ANOTHER (7x10, 5x8) ENVELOPE.

WOD #1 (2011)

This collective presentation by California's young "condemned" prisoners marks a historic
compilation.
The first (of an ongoing series) @GOLGATHA interviews with California's Death Row's
youngest new condemned, this issue represents an insight & perspective from the lives
of a New Generation who're the hidden face of California's dysfunctional death penalty
system in a way never before articulated and compiled. Introduction by prominent anarchist,
activist, author, & editor of South Chicago ABC Zine Distro, Anthony Rayson.

WOD#3 (2013)

This issue is full of commentary, articles, reviews, interviews, and information that gives
a broad and in-depth view of Califonia's Death Penalty system, the laws, policies, &
bureaucracy that lives within the "Just Us" mindset, a place beyond our abilities to ignore.
With multiple (@GOLGATHA) interview segments, this zine features a lengthy interview by
Piankhi with Anthony Rayson about WODZP, prisoner zines, and their underground culture.

WOD #4 (2014)

From cover-to-cover, art and imagery guide readders through awareness based commentary in an
era where California is aggressively seeking a one drug cocktail for use in executing an
entire New Generation of inner city youth currently housed on Death Row. Get an up close and
personal look inside at how Cain was affected upon receiving a "Notice of Death". Plus, a
"California On Blast" article that is sure to sway death penalty suporters to reconsider their vote.

#2 (2012)

An intimate & empowering expression of love, encouragment, and reconciliation put to words
through letters, articles, and poetry to women at home & behind bars. Beautifully illustrated,
this SPECIAL EDITION is dedicated to all those women on the front as well as behind the lines.
Fella's, share this zine with those special women in your lives.

#5 (2014)

By popular demand, all @GOLGATHA interviews. Learn the backstory, view the exclusives, and
journey through the conversations with this New Generation of young men currently awaiting
execution on California's Death Row. This modern "Place Of The Skull". (GOLGATHA)

#6 (2015)

This compilation of poetry and prose displays a new and unique style and subject of expression
from some of California Death Row's articulate wordsmiths. The inspiration came from San
Quentin's Mental Health Program poetry group for the "condemned" (now cancelled due to budget
constraints) and its respected facilitator, Pam. XZYZST conducts this @GOLGATHA interview
with the group inside the mental health wing of the prison's hospital.

This WOD-title, NGR (New Generation Rising) evolved from a 3-part series of articles written
by XZYZST, and first featured in #1 (under: New Generation) into a rally call, and now a
multi-media zine. Topics are introduced through written articles and interviews onto the WODZP
online blog as part of an interactive discussion between viewers, and to NGR through comments
posted on the blog, which are then featured in this issue. NGR also features new contributing
writers, and is distinctly New Generation oriented with a focus on new perspectives that are
engagingly articulated.

POETRY, PROSE & CONDZ, VOL.TWO (2016)

San Quentin prison officials finally reinstated the poetry groups for the new condemned
(hence: cond'z) population, and with direction of a new facilitator named, Ms. Bell.
So goes this sequal, in rare form WODZ elected to publish a new zine of many first,
including our first all handwritten issue, our first full page photo & art displays
(cover-to-cover), and first ever live audio poetry slam of these works via our new
audio link feature to this growing WODZ project.

POETRY, PROSE & CONDZ, VOL. THREE (2016)

With what began as a surprise B-day issue for our editor, Piankhi, sadly was overshadowed
by the mass shooting in Orlando, Florida. Xzyzst reached into the @GV (@Golgotha volumes)
archive for the very first interview circa 2010, which captures this moment in history,
in motion, toward strength, and pride for the LGBTQ community. With facts, spoken word,
art & images. Xzyzst reaches out to his own... in rare form.

SUN2SON'S (2014)

Sunlight deprivation on California Death Row. A written documentation that exposes what
torture looks like at San Quentin prison, where prisoners are denied access to direct
sunlight for years. The results, physical & mental health illnesses amongst the majority
of prisoners who're subjected to this "walk-alone" status. The above the law prison
officials, attorneys, medical information & research findings, it's all here. Directly
from the center of the struggle to bring the sun to the son's of society.

NGR, VOL.1 (2017)

So here it is. Our long anticipated and first ever full multi-media zine titles NGR (New
Generation Rising). This high volume series promises to deliver new studies and new
perspectives that're engagingly articulated, and Xzyzst at the helm of this first volume,
from cover-to-cover, taking on the highly controversial and critized use of the n-word,
law enforcement - excessive use of violence, and among other really unique writings and
art/illustrations, xzyzst interviews Piankhi for the first time on record in the pages
of WODZ. Written editing, and transcribed online, NGR is the product of the WODZ editorial
blog @BtB (betweenthebars.org) and incorporates the interactivity & visuals from the BtB
blog site into the zine.

CAL DIRTY, PARTS ONE & TWO (2013 & 2016)

CAL DIRTY (CALIFORNIAS DIRTY LITTLE SECRET)

This brief article exposes the California Supreme Court's (CSC) faulty and illegal
capital appellate process that has maintained a 100% affirmance rate of all capital
appeals for the past 36 years, making it virtually impossible for even the most blatant
miscarriage of justice to ever prevail on appeal. From victims rights groups and police
organizations to those at the top of California judicial and executive branches, it's the
politics and policies of the California Death Penalty system that has granted the States
highest court the power to exercise the world's lowest standard of justice. Family,
friends, and those men and women on California Death Row, this is a should read.

This (part two) article identifies the specific ways in which the CSC illegally promulgated
policies (known as policy 3) that interfere with appellate attorney's effective assistance,
eliminate collateral challenge/habeas corpus from the appellant process, creating delays, and
defraud the federal Government out of Billions of dollars. This analysis continues what looks
to be an on-going series of articles from California Death Row inmate, Kenneth Gay.

SOUTH CHICAGO ABC ZINE DISTRO (2015)

This catalog lists 918 zines, in 15 categories. Prisoner zines, interview zines, artists and
cartoon zines, native zine, information and analysis, support and resources anarchism, LGBT,
zines by and about women... and the rest. This catalog covers Anthony Raysons entire collection,
and is also archived @ Depaul University's special collections library.
