Spread throughout the housing units, the intelligensia (for lack of a more definitive term) met, debated and resolved a synthesis of ideas at recreation, meals, and work assignments. Without a centralized plan, other than to avert a riot, this constantly merging and diverging group, developed by consensus the idea of the unity walk. By not establishing a hierachial leadership, it became much more difficult for the administration to take preventative action by isolating the 'leadership'. Such a designation of individuals was too elusive to determine." -Jon Marc Taylor, from JPP Vol. 9:2 (1998) Editorial Board Members and Editorial Staff Collectively, the JPP has a spirit that is both diverse and unique. Some people are more involved at various times, but everyone remains an available resource. This has produced a JPP entity composed of prisoners, ex-prisoners, anti-prison activists and academics, which we rely upon to maintain the journal. Unlike a majority of publications in the academic world, the JPP has emphasised communication and correspondence with people inside, rather then those in free society. The journal has forged networks deep inside penal systems across North America and other parts of the world , to understand what is really happening behind the walls of prisons to make sense out of the experience of incarceration. Many prisoners and JPP travelers have been with the journal since it started in 1988. Over the years, others have joined and injected new life into the initiative.
