Its taken care of.
Big shout out to all the heads in the D-Wing from all the heads in the C-Wing doing a stint for joyroidin.
I wrote to 5 AFA prisoners in england, and they told me not to write back, they mentioned something about the note paper with the pictures of Subcommandente Marcos with his balaclava on. They were only in for 3 months, but thanx to the pictures of balaclave'd EZLN men, they nearly got another 3 months. English prisons!!
In 1991, I was sentenced to a year in the U.S. for a ploughshares action on a B-52 Bomber that was due to be used in the war on Iraq. We managed to ground it for 2 months and it didn't get to fly and kill. I was flown on Con Air from New York state to the Mexican border and then shipped up to Pecos County Jail, Texas,where I spent 9 months.
I was put in a cage with 23 other men in a room with 143 other men. I was an anti-war resister and many of the guards were ex-Military. I was the only white prionser in prison population of 550. I was one of three dreadheads in population.
The first month was very difficult. I was spat at a bit, intimidated a lot, on the end of low level assault (mostly by younger dudes trying to prove themselves) by prisoners who didn't like my looks & harrassed by prison staff who didn't like my politics.
What bought me space & made it safer was the 2,000 letters I received in from 27 countries over the 9 months from folks who supported our nonviolent disarmament of a B52 Bomber.
Do not underestimate the power of solidarity letters to prioners buried alive in a system designed to break them, isolate them and get them to recant.
Do not underestimate the effect effect support letters has on staff when they know the prisoner has reach and support on the outside.
This sounds like a great workshop, I hope I can make it.
Peace
Ciaron
