Bureau of Prisons: relentless with Carlos Alberto Torres
As part of the Bureau of Prison’s delayed entry
into the 21st century, it is implementing
TRULINCS (Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer
System) throughout the federal prison system, to
provide prisoners with access to email through a
special system allowing prison officials to
monitor all incoming and outgoing emails.
Puerto Rican political prisoner Carlos Alberto
Torres was looking forward to the convenient,
regular communication it facilitates, given that,
since his transfer to FCI Pekin, his postal
correspondence is regularly delayed from one to three months.
But it was not to be. On December 9, the SIS
[prison intelligence office] lieutenant called
him in to notify him that— unlike the rest of the
FCI Pekin population— he will not be allowed
access to email. Why? Because of “his case and
his background,” offered the lieutenant, who had
no response to Carlos Alberto’s inquiry as to
why, after 29 years of impeccable conduct, they
would treat him this way, pointing out that his
release might be just around the corner, citing
the USPC hearing examiner’s recommendation for
April 2010 release. Nor did the lieutenant
provide the required written explanation for his
exclusion from the program.
Show your support for Carlos Alberto by writing
to the U.S. Parole Commission to encourage them
to adopt the recommendation and order his
release! Sample letter available at
