It's 10 pm on the east coast and a few hours ago we finally heard
from<br>
Daniel. He called from the Columbia County Jail in Portage,
Wisconsin.<br>
Daniel was woken up at 4 am and on a plane en route from Oklahoma City
to<br>
Chicago by 6 am. Daniel and his supporters presumed he was going to<br>
Marion, Illinois, but once he landed in Chicago, he was put in a van
and<br>
driven to Madison, Wisconsin. From there he was driven to Portage.
Along<br>
the way, Daniel asked if he was being transferred based on facing
new<br>
charges, and the marshal flatly told him no. Daniel then asked if he
was<br>
facing a Grand Jury subpoena. The marshal would not come right out and
say<br>
yes, but he hinted at it and at one point said, "good
guess."<br><br>
If Daniel is called before a grand jury, he will not testify and is<br>
concerned about being held in civil contempt and imprisoned at the<br>
Columbia County Jail, where the time he serves will not count against
his<br>
7 year sentence.<br><br>
At this point, neither Daniel nor his attorney have received a subpoena
or<br>
any other paperwork to indicate that he will be appearing before a
grand<br>
jury, but it's what he is preparing for and what folks would be best<br>
served to see as a possibility.<br><br>
Over the past month, Daniel has been in transfer. And while the time
he<br>
has served thus far has been without incident and even though he
received<br>
a good team review before being yanked from FCI Sandstone, he tells
us<br>
that he has been put in Segregated Housing Units ("The Hole")
and treated<br>
differently for the duration of this transfer, all due to the
application<br>
of the "Terrorism Enhancement."<br><br>
For now, it is important to keep Daniel connected to the communities he
is<br>
a part of. Please write to him and let him know we're out here for
him*.<br><br>
For now, Daniel's address is:<br>
Daniel McGowan<br>
Columbia County Jail<br>
403 Jackson Street<br>
Portage, Wisconsin 53901<br><br>
Daniel wanted us to emphasize how important your support has been thus
far<br>
and how truly appreciative he is.<br><br>
Family and Friends of Daniel McGowan<br>
