Please write cards or letters to the following prisoners. Even if you just send a card with a brief message, receiving a message of support from the outside world can make a huge difference to the prisoner. Remember all correspondence is read by prison staff. Also don’t expect a reply as there is a limit to the number of letters each prisoner can write.

Cheques & Postal Orders

Please note that details of who the cheques/POs should be made payable to are listed below. The prisoner's name and number should be printed clearly on the back of the cheque/PO. The prisoner will then forward the cheque/PO to be processed. Please also include a Stamped Addressed Envelope (SAE) for the prisoner to acknowledge receipt, and indicate in your letter that you have done so.

New US prisoners, Linda Greene & Kevin Olliff - Update - 26-05-09
US activists Kevin Olliff and Lindy Greene were arrested Thursday, 16th April. Support Page

Linda Greene
Update: We are pleased to inform everyone that Lindy is now out on house arrest. The conditions of her release from jail have made her daily life on the outside very limited, as she cannot associate or have any contact (phone, letters, visits) with active animal rights activists. Anyone who wants to communicate with Lindy to first get in touch with Dave Rutan. Dave will forward requests and letters to Lindy's lawyer to possibly forward if he deems them appropriate. You can message Dave at www.myspace.com/davevegan with any questions regarding this matter.

Kevin Olliff, #1300931
TTCF 161 D-Pod, 450 Bauchet Street, Los Angeles, CA 90012, USA
Kevin is requesting pictures of the outside along with letters, for not having a window has left him with a complete lack of visual stimulation.

Birthday: 27th March
