Prison "refuses" anti-censorship protest

MIM has been leading a campaign against censorship in the 
Connecticut prison Northern Correctional Institution for 
over a year now. This prison censors newspapers, books and 
even letters sent both to and from prisoners. Often the 
censors do not inform the prisoner that his mail has been 
taken and this has led to some prisoners questioning why MIM 
stopped writing to them. In response MIM has been working 
with prisoners (when our mail gets in) to fight the legal 
battle against censorship while at the same time organizing 
people on the outside to send in postcards protesting the 
censorship. A batch of postcards sent in a few months ago 
were returned to MIM in an envelope with "Refused" written 
across each one with a big black marker. MIM is glad to see 
that the prison staff is reading these postcards carefully 
and taking the time to respond to each one. People who want 
to join the fight against censorship at Northern 
Correctional Institution can send letters of protest to the 
warden or the mail room at:

Please also send a copy of your letter to MIM.
