It has long been rumored that Carswell is the location a third CMU

wings of prisons which severely curtail prisoners' access to the outside
world; for more on them, see: http://www.supportdaniel.org/cmu/

Marie Mason is serving almost 22 years for two acts of
environmentally-motivated property destruction in which no one was harmed.
This is the longest current sentence of any of the Green Scare prisoners.
(The Green Scare is the name given to the recent prosecution of
eco-saboteurs and animal liberation activists, in which the government has
labeled them as "terrorists" and sought huge sentences.) Mason was turned in
by her then-husband, Frank Ambrose, who had secretly spied on activists for
years and then filed for divorce the day she was arrested. Mason eventually
plead guilty to 14 actions; 13 were claimed by the Earth Liberation Front
and one by the Animal Liberation Front. At her sentencing, the judge said
she had "violated the marketplace of ideas" and gave her an even longer
sentence than the prosecution had asked for (15-20 years).
