Also, please understand that he has had limited access to pens, paper, and stamps along the way. He has told me to let everyone know that he really, REALLY appreciates all the mail he's been getting and he's sorry he hasn't been able to respond to most people yet.

Hopefully once he reaches Sandstone and settles in he'll start getting back to everyone. But, again, letters mean the world to someone in prison. Please keep writing!

Thanks!

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.
