In Letcher County in eastern Kentucky, the federal Bureau of Prisons recently considered a former coal removal site as a potential home for a new prison. The Appalachian Rekindling Project purchased land in Kentucky that was designated for a federal prison. With the acquisition of 68 acres of private land, the ARP aims to heal the land and the local community—in part by stopping the prison from ever getting built. She emphasized the importance of community ties in Appalachia, explaining that her deep roots in Letcher County resonated with landowners. In this latest iteration of the fight against the prison in Letcher County, organizers hoped to articulate not just what they are against, but what they are for.
