Pete and Ademo aren’t the only liberty-loving activists in jail. Capuzzo still sits in a MA jail and writes us this letter where he shares some of his frustrations with a jailer and thanks everyone for the letters and books they have sent. You can send him mail online via mail-to-jail. Here are past Capuzzo posts.
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.
Capuzzo has written “A letter from the coop”, 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 an OCR of the letter:

A friend of mine raises chickens.
A couple months ago, I recieved a letter from her with a comparison and a question relating to her chickens and my jail time ( which I am currently in my fourth month of).
The comparison is that she keeps her chickens penned up, just like I’m penned up. Then she said something about her stealing the chickens eggs for her own use. I make a comparison about the eggs being like money is to me.
The question she asked was if I ever felt an animosity towards my captors, because she imagines that her chickens get pretty pissed off at her. I didn’t take much time to think on it at the time, and even made a reference to Animal Farm. But I got to thinking about it today and the following is the result of those thoughts. (more…)
“John Doe” is refusing to identify himself and has been jailed indefinitely at an arraignment in front of the robed man this morning. If Sam’s experience a couple of years back is any indication, John Doe could be in jail for a long time. Details are unknown regarding the circumstances of the arrest.
Momma Ally of the Keene Last Biscuit has been kidnapped by individuals claiming to be bounty hunters. She is currently en route to Georgia. The status of the rest of the Last Biscuit family is presently unknown. More information will be posted as it becomes available.
Capuzzo has written an excellent essay about how government works from the jail in Mass.
