MIM NOTES No. 196        October 15, 1999

Pigs continue to censor

Y'all had sent me a Mao book and it got here but the property 
officer contrabanded it because they claim it did not come from a 
publisher nor book store. I had already wrote MIM informing them 
about this. In fact I sent the contraband form as well, letting 
them know all they gotta do is send a typed out form or something 
tell these pigs that the book is coming from "MIM" and that MIM is 
a legitimate book program (publication) and they'll then let me 
have the book.

I wrote y'all on this issue about two weeks back and I ain't here 
nothing yet, I only got two more weeks before these people throw 
away my book. But if worse comes to worse I'll have these pigs 
send the book back to the PO Box 3576 so that then y'all can send 
it back with more forms verifying it's all legitimate.

MIM responds: We did respond to the letter this person asks about 
and we sent in documentation to the prison regarding the books we 
sent being from a publisher and a bookstore but the prison still 
maintains that we can not send in literature.
