Mail problems at Pelican Bay, California

We are still experiencing major delays with our mail, and anything coming from the streets. As of right now we are in the process of trying to rectify the problem through the appeal process. However, as you may know, this whole appeal process is a joke. They claim to be understaffed in the mail department due to the budget crisis. But we know for a fact that Gray Davis restructured a new contract for CDC in order to give everyone a pay raise. One of the comrades here has already exhausted this bogus appeal process. He has already filed a write of habeus corpus with the court. We are supposed to get a response by November 10, 2003.

By the way, we were recently granted a decision in our favor by the courts! We are no longer required to have an "Address Label Form" attached to our book orders. To most this may seem a bit insignificant. Because they used that "Address Label Form" to discourage us from trying to order books. In order to keep us uneducated and blind to all the injustice.
