As you may know, it’s been over a year since Eric’s arrest and pre-trial incarceration at CCA Leavenworth (a private prison operated by the Corrections Corporation of America) in Leavenworth, Kansas. Although for Eric and the rest of us it feels like it’s been a very long time, for a trial of this caliber, it’s pretty standard to spend a couple years in prison awaiting trial.

As folks know, Eric’s mail is being censored and political letters and
literature are being rejected. It is important to keep the pressure on

Was able to visit Eric this last week! He is still working through some medical things but is feeling strong and in good spirits! This month marks 6 months being held in solitary confinement. He had a reclassification hearing to determine if he could leave the hole but it was decided that he will remain on “life” status which means he will remain there for the duration of his time at CCA Leavenworth. The support he receives from comrades has been irreplaceable in keeping him strong! Eric wants to express his gratitude for all the amazing letters and books that folks have sent him.
