Jonathan Paul Update

friendsofjonathanpaul@yahoo.com

After 20 days, we finally received a call from
Jonathan yesterday.  He spent his first week in the
special housing unit on 23 hour lock-down.  Now that
he is out of the SHU, he is adjusting to his new
surroundings quite well.  He is able to get vegan food
and is keeping busy.   The yard is large and gives him
an opportunity to spend time outdoors.

He is working each day picking up garbage, which he
doesn't mind because it is an outdoor activity.  He is
taking a public speaking class and a National
Geographic certification course.  He will be in his
unit another few weeks before being transferred to
another more "permanent" unit.

No word yet on when he will be able to have visitors.
Jonathan misses his friends, family and his companion
animals, but most of all his freedom.  That said, he
is adjusting as well as can be expected.  Jonathan is
doing time for the animals, and that makes it easier.

The best part of Jonathan's day is mail call.  Please
continue to write to him and send him your support.
And please remember other political prisoners - you
are their lifeline.

For the animals and the earth,

Friends of Jonathan Paul

Please feel free to contact Jonathan's support group
at friendsofjonathanpaul@yahoo.com or e-mail me
directly at tamidrake@wildblue.net.  If you are
interested in organizing a fundraiser or a letter
writing event, please let us know.

We plan to get a support website up for Jonathan very
soon.

Here are some guidelines for writing: (We've taken
this from Daniel's support website - thanks to
Daniel's support group for these comprehensive
guidelines)

When sending a letter, it's best to keep it simple.
Write or type on blank notebook or copy paper no
bigger than 8.5x11 and don't use any special colored
or gel pens or pencils, stamps, or stickers. Don't
write anything on the outside or inside of the
envelope except the prisoner's address and your full
name and return address in the upper left hand corner
of the addressed side of the envelope. Use plain white
envelopes without a clear plastic address window, or
any special decorations. Most prisons also REQUIRE a
return address on the envelope.

Please take a minute to read the following VERY
IMPORTANT guidelines.
- Write on both sides of the paper, since the number
of pages he can have may be limited. It is also
totally acceptable to type your letters. More will fit
on a page.
- Write your address inside your letter/card if you
think he does not have it, but DO NOT put an address
label anywhere inside or on the letter/card. Address
labels are ONLY OK to go on your envelope.
- Do NOT send him stamps, envelopes (self-addressed or
otherwise), blank paper or notecards. He will not be
able to receive them and he will be denied your
letter.
- Do NOT send him any form of currency, whether cash,
check or money order.
- Do NOT send photographs larger than 4x6. Do not send
polaroids and make sure the content is appropriate.
- Do NOT include any paperclips, staples or any extra
things in your letter.
- Do NOT send a card that has glitter or any 3-D
objects in or on it.
- Do NOT send cards with paper inserts glued in them.
- Do NOT tape your envelope shut.
- Do NOT ever write "legal mail" or anything implying
that you are an attorney unless you are
- Please use your common sense; don't write about
anything that is likely to get a prisoner in trouble
in any way.

Jonathan will not receive the envelope your letter is
mailed in, so write your return address and full name
in the letter as well. Also, number the pages like
"1/5, 2/5,3/5..." so that a prisoner can tell if some
pages are missing.
If you send Jonathan a letter and it gets returned to
you, please let us know about it so we can add any
other restrictions to the guideline list.
Please do NOT send in any books to Jonathan yet.  We
are in the process of getting a system going for him
to receive books.
