From 1993 to 2015, we received over 51,000 letters from people in prison asking for help on their cases. The Intake Department is responsible for managing, analyzing, and vetting each letter to determine if we will be able to provide legal assistance.
Watch the video, concluding our series on National Letter Writing Month, to get a sense of how it happens:
Hi my name is Mark Anthony Williams and I’m an actor living in Los Angeles. I have an idea but I don’t know if legal parameters will prevent this from happening. But I would like to take letters written by inmates and have them read by actors in a monologue style performance to help highlight the need for prison reform and bring attention to the under representation available to inmates- I have actor friends of all genders who would love to participate- finding a location to shoot won’t be a problem- I wait for your response- Thank you.
Just watched the Netflix documentary series Confession tapes with Kenneth Osburn and I am sick to my stomach learning this man was found guilty, not wanting to take away the loss of the girl’s life, I had just had to google Rick Newton hoping to read that he has been charged with a crime on where and how he conducted the interrogation with Kenneth. If anyone are criminals it’s the Dumas AK detectives and police, the FBI should investigate. Kenneth is without a doubt an innocent man. It’s time to write the Governor and Mayor.
