Join the #AIRS Campaign (Abolish Incarcerated Reality Shows) and 24 national organizations as we take direct action against corporations profiting from mass incarceration.
We’re calling out:
AMC Networks, home of Love During Lockup and Love After Lockup — shows that turn the trauma of formerly incarcerated people and their families into ratings-driven “reality”
AMC+, the streaming platform backing and distributing this exploitation
These shows dehumanize people behind bars, normalize state violence, and misrepresent incarceration for millions of viewers.
This is not entertainment. This is exploitation. Be there. Be loud. Shut it down.
