I found out today that Daniel is no longer at MDC Brooklyn. I feel relieved that he is FINALLY moving on (it's been 88 days since sentencing, NOT 30 like probation had suggested in court) but it's also bittersweet, as today was visiting day and his niece was going to visit for the first time. Such is life, I suppose.

So, as of this morning he is at FTC Oklahoma City.

You can write to him at this address now:
DANIEL McGOWAN
#63794-053
FTC OKLAHOMA CITY
FEDERAL TRANSFER CENTER
P.O. BOX 898801
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK 73189

Here's hoping his travels are as short and painless as possible.

Thanks for your support,
Jenny

Daniel McGowan is an environmental and social justice activist. He was charged in federal court on many counts of arson, property destruction and conspiracy, all relating to two incidents in Oregon in 2001. Until recently, Daniel was offered two choices by the government: cooperate by informing on other people, or go to trial and face life in prison. His only real option was to plead not guilty until he could reach a resolution of the case that permitted him to honor his principles. As a result of months of litigation and negotiation, Daniel was able to admit to his role in these two incidents, while not implicating or identifying any other people who might have been involved. He was sentenced to 7 years in prison on June 4, 2007 and began serving his time on July 2, 2007.
