Please send him a card, or donate to his prison commissary account or education/release fund. In other news, political prisoner Daniel McGowan's 3rd anniversary of his arrest is December 7, and a few events are taking place to mark the occasion as well as bring attention to the Federal Prison Work Incentive Act (or "Good Time Bill") - a bill to restore good time allowances toward service of Federal prison terms.
