SUE BUTLER KNOWS WHAT'S UP

It's a very magical little piece of the week, almost. It's the time where YOU get a phone call or text message about volunteering at the Rail! Ha ha I bet a lot of you wish you could somehow "block" messages sent from certain phones. Maybe you can? I'm not too up on this stuff.

Seriously there's no reason filling the schedule should be as stressful & last-minute as it has been the last few weeks. Help us out!!!

And of course the one sure-fire way to not get an annoying text message is to come to the weekly collective meetings, every Wednesday at 8... We love you / miss you / need your input and ideas!

NOTES ON PRISONER SUPPORT

Is there somebody in OPP you'd like to help out?

Books and magazines cannot be mailed or hand-delivered or even ordered from a third-party vendor; they can only be obtained by the inmate herself ordering from the book selection on the commissary list. I'll see what I can do about getting a copy of the commissary list, but in the meantime please join me in making uninformed and overwhelmingly negative assumptions about its contents.

I asked a couple jail employees if the prices on books and magazines are more or less in line with the prices of other commissary items (meaning hyperinflated) and was told yes. This means reading material would be pretty hard for somebody locked up to get ahold of first-hand when balanced against necessities like soap and tobacco.

Inmates can receive letters, however. If you were to lay hands on an electronic text of something, maybe some poems you like, maybe some shakespeare plays, maybe a novel, and broke it into chunks and printed it out, you could certainly send it along, in envelope installments, in 10- or 15-page increments. You cannot send blank envelopes, stamps, stamped envelopes, blank paper, or cards, however... nor can you send a literarily inclined inmate pens or other writing utensils. Stationary supplies may only be obtained via the commissary.

You will need the inmate's actual name, booking #, and location to send mail.

To put money in an inmate's commissary (very important), you can either mail the inmate a signed money order or donate over the web, though the latter does add a fee. Again, you will need the inmate's personal information. The webpay service is here, and for somebody in OPP the Pay Location Code would be 5500 and the Facility Code would be "MSY - Orleans Parish Criminal Sheriff (LA)".

To avoid providing the sickening, parasitic war-criminal fucks who run these hideous systems any more $$fees$$ than necessary, I encourage those interested in helping somebody in OPP in these specific ways-- money and reading materials-- to get ahold of me. If you don't know me, or how to reach me, come to a meeting; we can discuss pooling our resources.

Jails are not justice
"Judges" are an illegitimate authority
The legal system is corrupt beyond saving

Burroughs sez:

"Boards Syndicates Governments of the earth Pay-- Pay Back the Color you stole--

"Pay Red-- Pay back the red you stole for your lying flags and Coca-Cola signs-- Pay that red back to penis and blood and sun--

ok yeah, penis, blood, sun, sure, yeah, but also... also, and just now suddenly... I... gee willikers, I think I need another Newport.
