Capuzzo has written again from the jail in Mass. You can give him something to do in there by sending him (and other NH activists) mail via mail-to-jail! Here’s his letter, “The Question”:
I was asked the other day, “If you’re an anarchist, how do you make it through jail without much for problems and mostly follow the rules?” I never really thought about that before. This is, more or less, the answer I gave him:
Survival. I’m not just doing a small amount of time. That’s not to say I’m scared, though. Far from it. If the inmates went on a hunger or work strike, I’d be right in the front row. Sadly, the population is too worried about losing good time or commissary to do so.
I do my part to put the jail in a tough spot, though. I flush all my trash to help fill up / fuck up the septic system a little quicker. I keep my light on all day to help raise the electric bill. It’s not a lot, but it all adds up.
I don’t follow the rules as much as it seems, either. I run a store – not allowed. I gamble and run the sports books – not allowed. Again, it’s not much, but it’s there.
