I am writing to let you know the Department has resolved the lawsuit [against censorship of MIM Notes]. They released to me on April 4, 2003 the disputed MIM Notes.
I would like to say how persistence pays off to those who are willing to make sacrifices for their First Amendment rights to read MIM Notes.
--A Pennsylvania prisoner
MIM responds: This comrade initiated a lawsuit against the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections after it withheld several MIM Notes on the bogus charge they posed a "clear and present danger" to the security of the institution. At one point no MIM Notes were getting to any prisoners in his institution. He persisted in his lawsuit for over a year, with only minor support from MIM. Now not only has he received the issues which were censored, but prisoners in his institution receive MIM Notes without hassle.
This comrade's self reliance is exemplary.
