_____________________________________________
Friends and supporters,

We are writing to announce our 5th Annual Benefit Book Sale for
Daniel McGowan.

Why a fundraiser now? While you may not realize it, life can prison
can actually be really expensive. From making overpriced phone calls
and email access, to having to buy many basic necessities from the
commissary at prices many times higher than retail, Daniel’s living
costs have added up. For that reason, even if you can’t make it to
the book sale, please consider donating to Daniel today (http://
tiny.cc/danieldonation). Without donations from friends and
supporters, Daniel would be unable to buy the minimal services and
goods that provide a small amount of comfort within prison.
