Oregon prison springs eco-saboteur 'Free' by mistake, then takes him back

By Bryan Denson, The Oregonian

The man who drew the longest prison sentence in U.S. history for eco-sabotage walked out of prison this morning. After years of appeals, Jeffrey M. Luers, known to Eugene’s anarchist clan as “Free,” was just that.

But just as quickly, he was sent back to prison.

The Oregon Department of Corrections acknowledged today that it mistakenly allowed Luers to take advantage of a new law, House Bill 3508, which grants reduced sentences for certain classes of inmates. Luers’ sentence for arson made him ineligible for early release, said prisons spokeswoman Jennifer Black, in Salem.

“It’s a mistake we wish hadn’t happened,” she said. “We’re reviewing processes and hoping that it just does not happen again.”

Luers was released from Columbia River Correctional Institution in Northeast Portland this morning and given 24 hours to check in with his parole officer in Lane County. He checked in this afternoon, where he learned of the error.

Authorities took the 30-year-old radical environmentalist back to prison, a rude reversal for those who worked years to get Luers out.

The day began with Luers’ supporters writing on the Friends of Jeff Luers Web site: “We are still pinching ourselves.”

Luers’ appellate lawyer in Salem, Shawn Wiley, weighed in with an e-mail comment to The Oregonian: “This day is long overdue. Jeff is a kind, thoughtful, intelligent young man, and our community benefits much more from his presence in it rather than behind bars."

But their joy was short lived.

Luers' saga began in 2001, when Lane County Circuit Judge Lyle Velure sentenced him to 22 years, 8 months in prison after finding him guilty of two crimes in Eugene -- attempting to set fire to a gasoline tanker owned by a petroleum distributor, then firebombing

What have you done for
our people lately?


DO
YOU...
 ...consider yourself indigenous? Native
American? Mexica? Nahua? Ixachilacah? Is this a part of your identity
and do you consider yourself a part of a greater indigenous movement?
If you do, this may be for you. Keep reading.
DO
YOU...
...take the time to consider, support, and mend
the relationships all of all people native to the Americas? Did you
know that in 1994 in response to the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA) The Zapatistas emerged out of the Lacandon Jungle
declaring a message of hope for people facing displacement by the
policy's effects on Mexico? Do you support the Zapatistas?
DO
YOU...
...know who Byron Chubbuck is? Byron Chubbuck
who's Indian name is Yona Unaga, or as he is used to growing up in
the Southwest, "Oso Blanco" is currently serving 80 years
in prison for helping indigenous people in Southern Mexico. 
Nicknamed "Robbin the Hood" by the FBI Oso exproriated over
100,00 dollars from over 14 different banks in order to support
indigenous people in Southern Mexico. Oso Blanco's ethnicity is
currently listed as "White" and his requests for a sacred
pipe and sweat lodge participation have been denied. Most people are
not willing to exproriate money from banks, even for a good cause.
But, will you support someone who has?
How to
help
Oso Blanco needs all the support he can get, and
writing to him is a huge way to show your support and send some love
to him. Please take the following into consideration:

DO: Remember that all mail is read by
prison authorities
DO: Remember to let Oso Blanco know that you
will keep him in your thoughts
DO NOT: Commit or promise things
you cannot keep.
DO NOT: Romanticize Oso Blanco or any political
prisoner.

REMEMBER
It
is important to continue to support our jailed sisters and brothers,
if not, then face the shame of knowing that we allowed our comrades
to be forgotten. Recently freed Black Liberation prisoner Ojore
Lutalo said "Any movement that does not support its political
internees is a sham movement," what are you doing about
it?
