Prison Clothes Press was started in 1970 and initially edited by Ulli McCarthy and Jeff Nuttall. For the most part, Nuttall’s role was as a silent partner, while McCarthy did all of the editorial and business of the press. There were eight [or nine?] numbered publications issued by the press with the final one published in 1980.

from the Title Page: “this magazine contains poems by tramps / their poems are untitled & anonymous / these poems were given to us by a radical nun / she also wishes to remain anonymous / as her habbit would be at stake / she fed these men & they fed her”.
