Update on Marie Mason, April 2009

See http://supportmariemason.org

from supportmariemason.org, 24 April 2009:

We received a letter from Marie Mason recently with updates. As we said before, she expects to be at Waseca for a while.

She has been assigned a job working in the kitchen (unfortunately not, originally as she was told, as a guitar instructor). She is working out and getting most of her vegan dietary concerns taken care of.

She would like to receive the following kinds of books: a calendar, a journal, language books (especially French and Spanish, which she speaks to fellow inmates), fiction, or radical history. There is a library at the prison which she is able to use as well.

That said, we are not sure what kind political literature will be allowed in. Obviously, please do NOT send anything that advocates any illegal acts, as this may impact her negatively.

We called Waseca and confirmed that individuals can send in softcover books, including used ones. No hardcover books are allowed. Magazines and newspapers must come directly from a publisher.

Please do not send stamps or stamped envelopes to her - the prison confiscates them.

She is slower in writing back these days then when she was at Clinton County Jail, and some of this may have to do with the delay in the federal system with getting funds to her commissary to buy stamps. But she loves receiving letters and please continue to write her:

Marie Mason #04672-061
FCI Waseca
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 1731
Waseca, MN 56093
