Prison Notebooks Suicide

Bol

Foreword by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Chris HedgesIn the age of climate collapse, telling the truth has become a criminal act.From a cell in Wayland Prison, Roger Hallam-farmer, researcher, and co-founder of Just Stop Oil-delivers a searing indictment of a legal system that punishes those who resist, while protecting those who destroy. In July 2024, Hallam was dragged from a British courtroom for refusing to stay silent about the climate crisis. For "conspiracy to cause a public nuisance," he was sentenced to five years in prison-the harshest punishment for civil disobedience in the UK in modern British history. The case made front-page news and drew global outcry.Suicide is part memoir, part political reckoning. Drawing on Hallam's award-winning research and experience representing himself in four Crown Court trials, it lays bare the moral and legal failures of a society sleepwalking into catastrophe. From climate science and the right of necessity, to the collapse of democratic norms and the illusions of secular reason, this is a radical call to rethink justice, truth, and duty in the face of extinction."These protestors are not criminals-they are messengers."- Open Letter signed by 1,200+ public figures, incl.
