relentless with Carlos Alberto Torres<br>
<br>
As part of the Bureau of Prison’s delayed entry into the 21st century, it
is implementing TRULINCS (Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer System)
throughout the federal prison system, to provide prisoners with access to
email through a special system allowing prison officials to monitor all
incoming and outgoing emails.<br>
<br>
Puerto Rican political prisoner Carlos Alberto Torres was looking forward
to the convenient, regular communication it facilitates, given that,
since his transfer to FCI Pekin, his postal correspondence is regularly
delayed from one to three months.<br>
<br>
But it was not to be. On December 9, the SIS [prison intelligence office]
lieutenant called him in to notify him that— unlike the rest of the FCI
Pekin population— he will not be allowed access to email. Why? Because of
“his case and his background,” offered the lieutenant, who had no
response to Carlos Alberto’s inquiry as to why, after 29 years of
impeccable conduct, they would treat him this way, pointing out that his
release might be just around the corner, citing the USPC hearing
examiner’s recommendation for April 2010 release. Nor did the lieutenant
provide the required written explanation for his exclusion from the
program.<br>
<br>
Show your support for Carlos Alberto by writing to the U.S. Parole
Commission to encourage them to adopt the recommendation and order his
release! Sample letter available at
