Friends,<br><br>
On Monday, July 14, Daniel appeared in federal court in the Western
District of Wisconsin (Madison) before Judge Barbara Crabb and was found
in civil contempt for his refusal to answer questions before a grand
jury.<br><br>
Since he is already in custody for his existing prison sentence, this
means that his clock of time being served has stopped. An appeal has been
filed by his lawyer to the 7th Circuit Court of Appeals, as well as a
motion for bail (in his case since he wouldn't be released, to start his
federal time moving forward again). Right now, until the grand jury is
dismissed or other agreements are made within that case and things are
resolved, his time will not count as time served. It is unknown whether
he will remain in county jail for the full extension of this period.
<br><br>
So, for now, please continue to write to Daniel with positive thoughts,
funny stories, and well wishes, as this has been a particularly stressful
and difficult time. Letters are key to time passing quickly
inside.<br><br>
Write Daniel at:<br><br>
Daniel McGowan<br>
Columbia County Jail<br>
403 Jackson Street<br>
Portage, Wisconsin 53901 <br><br>
His federal ID number is not needed for letters there. You may send a few
pictures in your letters (no polaroids), but he can only receive
magazines from subscriptions and books directly from the
publisher.<br><br>
Thanks for your continued support,<br>
Family and Friends of Daniel McGowan<br><br>
