‘Stay strong! Stay Militant!’
I’m hoping that your newsletter deals with helping improve the prison condition for inmates. Also the educational condition is bad here in Florida, the prison is in contradiction of what they proclaim they teach. They claim correction, but they only impose physical and mental abuse and they give you little access to what you need as humans to survive and treat humans as humans.

I’m a 24-year-old “Blackman” that is trying to elevate his “manhood” by gaining knowledge, wisdom and understanding. By gaining this I will use it in my everyday life and apply it, not getting arrogant or something to gain self interest. Prison is bad and staying there is worse. We should evolve positive solutions out of each condition of struggle we are under and become proactive in our thinking and activity. I would love to receive your newsletter so I can improve my studies. Thank you. Stay Strong! Stay Militant!

‘Can’t wait to see Gerardo’
I received the letter stating that I have one issue left. I really, truly wish I could help financially, but I am an indigent prisoner. That doesn’t mean I can’t pass each issue around to other incarcerated workers to get SWP’s name, info and message out to them. If possible, can you continue sending your informative newspaper to me?

I’m presently in the SHU upon arrival, put here over a write-up in West Virginia. I was here at USP Victorville 2007-2009 and have now returned to finish my last 18 months.

I don’t know yet if Cuban Five Gerardo Hernández is still here or not. He was in ’07-’09 when I was here, we lived in the same unit then. If he is, I can’t wait to see him again. We had a lot of great talks.
