The Freeworld Times covers topics relevant to prisoner experiences and reports on stories from the United States as well as international stories from countries such as England, Venezuela, and Mexico. Reforming the prison system is a major theme of every issue, questioning what needs to change, and how the system responds when changes begin to happen. Published during a time of frequent prisoner uprisings, this publication often details the violence involved in these events between prisoners and against guards. It also occasionally tells stories of holiday celebrations or social events in prison. Every issue includes obituaries, cartoons, and poetry.
