Write!

Please write Josh at:

Joshua Harper
29429-086
FCI Sheridan
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 5000
Sheridan, OR 97378

Please also consider writing his co-defendants. Their email addresses can be found here.

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.

Also, do not send stickers, or put stickers on your envelopes. Better to not really decorate them at all. Don't make the kinds of jokes or statements that may get the inmate in trouble. When in doubt, don't say it.

SENDING LETTERS

Please write the defendants in prison! They would love to hear from you and need the support. A couple of things to remember:

• All mail is opened and read by prison officials.
• Do not discuss the specifics of the case. All of the SHAC 7 defendants are appealing their convictions and, as such, they all still retain their Fifth Amendment rights to protect them in the event they are granted a new trial.
• Mail can be sent first class, priority, or express.
  

SENDING BOOKS

There is very little to do in prison, and reading tends to be one of the best ways to pass the time and stave off boredom. Prisoners will often read more books than any one of us with lives full of activism, jobs, and social activities could imagine. Before sending a book, please check each individual's website and/or email to make sure they are currently allowed to receive books. Each prisoner is limited on the number of books they can receive at any one time.

Books must be sent via Amazon.com or Barnes & Noble or directly from a publisher. They must be softcover. Most prisons (with the exception of camps) do not allow books to be sent in from an individual.

If you're interested in sending Josh a book or magazine subscription, please send us an email and we'll let you know what's on his list and when he'll be ready to receive one.

AND IF YOU'RE BORED...

Although Josh won't get to see the page, you should still be one of Josh's "friends" on MySpace...

Finally...

Please consider other ways to help the SHAC 7, such as organizing benefits, distributing the literature available at www.shac7.com, and also continuing to protest against Huntingdon Life Sciences. (See www.insidehls.org and www.closehls.org for details.)
