</font>News from a friend who asked that we pass it along:<br><br>
Dear Friends and Supporters of Sadie and Exile,<br><br>
I recently visited with Sadie at Dublin and wanted to share<br>
that experience with everyone. She is doing well, keeping busy, and<br>
finds her new life much improved from the confines of<br>
Lane County. While there are some perks to prison<br>
life; better food, access to arts and crafts, more<br>
freedom of movement, a wardrobe (well, sort of), cats,<br>
coffee, real shoes, and opportunity for fresh air and<br>
exercises...there are also new challenges she is having to face.<br><br>
Within the prison system, racial and class tensions are high,<br>
and the guards can be unnecessarily tough. As Sadie<br>
put it, "there is always the jingling of keys coming<br>
up behind you", making it hard to ever really relax.<br>
However, she is doing her best to adjust and trying to<br>
make the most of her time. She was recently assigned a job as a<br>
plumber, and although she makes something like 8 cents<br>
an hour, she is glad to be learning a useful skill.<br><br>
She also said she's grateful to recently have been receiving more
mail,<br>
but is still hoping to hear from others, especially those<br>
in Olympia!<br><br>
One of her biggest concerns right now is maintaining funds for<br>
commissary. Unlike jail, in prison she has to buy<br>
EVERYTHING from clothes, to basic toiletries, shoes,<br>
pens, paper, radio, etc... And soon she will start having<br>
money deducted from her wages for restitution so she is trying<br>
to acquire all of the supplies she needs before that happens.<br><br>
If you can send any financial support her way (via the support
address<br>
and NOT directly to the prison), I know it would be greatly
appreciated.<br>
She's there for a long, long time, and having the money<br>
for basic necessities and the occasional art supply will certainly<br>
make her time pass more interestingly.<br><br>
Although she is finally settled, she still has a long<br>
and lonely road ahead. While it is easy for us to get<br>
caught up in our lives, and take our freedom for<br>
granted, she is stuck- trying her best to find balance and<br>
normalcy amongst the razor wire and concrete that<br>
threatens to define her existence.<br><br>
Lets do our best to remind her that she is loved,<br>
supported, and most importantly, has not been<br>
forgotten.<br><br>
