Fighting Censorship in Washington

Dear MIM,

I just received your letter with information on how to fight prison censorship. I'm certainly gonna read up on it in the law library (I don't know anything about the law stuff but I'm still going to read up on it.)

I did put in a grievance on the 20th asking why [my MIM Notes] were held for that long and not letting me know any reason or get any kind of notice. I notice these prison workers want to reject mail that they don't agree with. Instead of being staff prison workers they want to be police officers, investigators, inspectors, nosy low lifes thinking everything is a threat when I know for sure that MIM Notes and all the other publications you guys have are very helpful and they do help us prisoners to educate ourselves because I've seen it before.

I am in a lockdown facility, segregation maximum, 1 hour out so I'm going to start reading and checking up on that law library because I know these prison workers are doing some shady thing and are evil.

I did receive my appeal back for the appeal on "MIM Notes" and "What is the Maoist Internationalist Movement" and it says: "the MIM magazine and MIM Notes have been sent for headquarters review. Should headquarters support the rejection the MIM magazine and MIM notes will be barred state wide. Should headquarters not support the rejection, the magazine will be returned to CBCC and forwarded to you."

I think these people reject it because they seen where it says "Internationalist Movement," and when they seen that they just reject it because like you said, there was no "evidence to support their claim." There were no details on the mail rejections.
