What You Can Send Jake/Prison Mail Regulations
The prison is very strict as to what is allowed to be sent. Generally, only letters, postcards, cards, and photos (no polaroids) are allowed to be sent in. You can also photocopy or print stuff off of the internet/your computer. Books and magazines may be sent, but can only be sent from the publisher. Stamps, news clippings, stickers, food, treats, care packages, etc. are not allowed. If you send prohibited items, the prison will reject your entire package.
On September 12th, 2006, Jake was sentenced to 4 years in prison in the landmark SHAC 7 case. He started his prison sentence on November 16th, 2006. Fore more information, check www.SupportJake.org.Jake cannot check this account, but messages will be forwarded to him (or you can write him in prison!). For more about my case, see www.SHAC7.com.
Please consider donating to the SHAC 7 Support Fund. It will help pay for the legal appeal on our case and it will also help us buy the vegan necessities (and stamps, envelopes and paper to write people back!) when we're in prison.
