Susan Crane is incarcerated

Dear Friends,

After a wonderful Peace Walk, Susan Crane is back at the Federal
Correctional Institution in Dublin, California. I heard from her
earlier this evening, and she is well, and is settling in for her
relatively brief stay

The Walk for Nuclear Disarmament: From Lockheed to Lock-Up was the
embodiment of community. Many people and communities came together to
help plan, provide support and hospitality, and of course WALK. We've
been posting daily at the Disarm Now Plowshares Blog

http://disarmnowplowshares.wordpress.com/.

I won't get into all the details here. The best way to get up close
and personal with the walk is to read the blog posts that started on
August 19th. With photos, reflections from the walkers, video, and
audio from a news broadcast, you can get a real sense of the Peace
Walk.

I know many of you are waiting for Susan's mailing address. I've just



confirmed that she is, indeed, at the FCI Dublin and not at the



adjacent Camp Parks military installation. As Susan said, "I guess



they decided not to put a plowshares activist on a military



base....only makes sense."







Here is the address to which you can address mail to Susan:







Susan Crane 87783-011



Federal Correctional Institution Dublin



5701 8th Street, Camp Parks



Dublin CA 94568







For anyone not familiar with prison mail rules, they ARE strict.



Basically, letters are OK, but not much else. Here are excerpts from



the FCI Dublin Handbook:







Inmates may not receive packages in the mail. A package includes any



box or envelope more than sixteen (16) ounces, that is padded,



reinforced or contains any material other than paper. Unauthorized



packages are rejected at the local Post Office and returned to the



sender marked "Unauthorized Package." The inmate does not receive a



notice the item was refused.







All incoming inmate mail, except "legal mail," is opened by the Mail



Room Officer to inspect for unauthorized items and contraband.







An inmate may receive soft cover publications (paperback books, etc.)



from any source. An inmate may receive hardcover publications only



from the publisher or book club.







I'm sure you get the picture - No files, hacksaw blades, seditious



literature, etc. You can read more (of this exciting stuff) in the



FCI Dublin Admissions and Orientation Handbook

This week's Peace Walk is just a memory now, although our greater walk



together in pursuit of a nuclear weapons free world is very much on



the move. So many people around the country, and around the world,



working on many different, yet connected, issues. The more people



march with us, the more our footsteps are heard. Spread the word -



More and more, people are ready to listen... and get involved. The



time is NOW!







Peace,
