Current Prisoners

"If they haven't got prisoners, we have stopped fighting. If our prisoners are forgotten about, they have beaten us." � Keith Mann, ALF activist and former prisoner

It is crucial to not forget our fellow activists who are sitting in jail. They have made a huge, selfless sacrifice for animals and now they are paying the price for it. Show your support by writing letters, donating money to their commissary or legal defense and simply showing your support for direct action.

At the end of the day, even short messages help to remind prisoners of the large number of supporters they have on the outside, and the great efforts for the animals so many others continue to take across the globe.

Federal prisoners are permitted to receive a very small variety of items from "the outside". Inmates are allowed to receive an unlimited number of cards, letters, and photographs (but no Polaroids) from anyone. They may also receive an unlimited number of magazines and periodicals, but these must come directly from the publisher (i.e. by way of a subscription directly to the prisoner); magazines and periodicals sent from anyone other than the publisher will be refused. Inmates are not permitted to receive any publication that contains material of a sexual nature; magazines containing sexual material will be destroyed.

Sending Letters
Please write the defendants in prison! They would love to hear from you and need the support.

1. A couple of things to remember:
� All mail is opened and read by prison officials.
� Do not discuss the specifics of the case.
� Mail can be sent first class, priority, or express.
