Updated to include guide to restrictions on letters to the William G Truesdale Adult Detention Center.
Sign the prayer pledge for 9 pro-life rescuers facing a decade in prison.
(LifeSiteNews) — Pro-life rescuers in prison have made – and are making – generous sacrifices on behalf of their unborn brothers and sisters.
One sacrifice is the company of likeminded men and women: Christians and other people of good will who share their conviction that innocent human life is sacred. By giving up their emotional support networks of family, friends, and colleagues, our pro-life heroes are in danger of a loneliness that can be felt even – or especially – in a crowded prison cafeteria or yard. And many of them are due to be sentenced to longer prison terms this May – up to 11 years.
For this reason, LifeSiteNews is encouraging readers once again to write to imprisoned American pro-lifers. We have obtained the latest information on where several prisoners of conscience are currently serving sentences for their attempts to save the unborn. Although it is almost certain your letters will be read by prison staff before they reach our brothers and sisters, it may be that your sentiments will touch and console their hearts, too.
Letters addressed to Joan Andrews Bell (#A0032612); Jonathan Darnel (#A0189060); Herb Geraghty (#A0216674); Will Goodman (#A0216676); Lauren Handy (#A0176945); John Hinshaw (#A0216677); and Jean Marshall (#A0216866) can be sent to the following prison until their sentencing dates beginning May 14:

LifeSiteNews asks that names and addresses of other pro-lifer witnesses in prison for rescuing our unborn brothers and sisters be sent to Senior Editor Dorothy McLean: [email protected].
UPDATE: Readers have told us that sometimes their letters are rejected by prison officials. Please follow prison rules for correspondence; they change from facility to facility. If in doubt, keep your letters relatively brief (3 pieces of paper), using standard writing paper and envelopes. Do not send construction paper. Please assume that prison staff will open and read the letters.
