Daniel McGowan Update

Friends,

On Monday, July 14, Daniel appeared in federal court in the Western
District of Wisconsin (Madison) before Judge Barbara Crabb and was
found in civil contempt for his refusal to answer questions before a
grand jury.

Since he is already in custody for his existing
prison sentence, this means that his clock of time being served has
stopped. An appeal has been filed by his lawyer to the 7th Circuit
Court of Appeals, as well as a motion for bail (in his case since
he wouldn't be released, to start his federal time moving forward
again). Right now, until the grand jury is dismissed or other
agreements are made within that case and things are resolved, his time
will not count as time served. It is unknown whether he will remain in
county jail for the full extension of this period.

So, for now, please continue to write
to Daniel with positive thoughts, funny stories, and well wishes, as
this has been a particularly stressful and difficult time. Letters are
key to time passing quickly inside.

Write Daniel at:

Daniel McGowan
Columbia County Jail
403 Jackson Street
Portage, Wisconsin 53901

His
federal ID number is not needed for letters there. You may send a few
pictures in your letters (no polaroids), but he can only receive
magazines from subscriptions and books directly from the publisher.

Thanks for your continued support,
Family and Friends of Daniel McGowan

(Apologies for the delay, we've been experiencing some problems with the
list)
