The Earth Liberation Prisoners Newsletter recently circulated and appeal for help with the case of Jeff Luers. Luers, you may remember, was sentenced to more than 22 years in jail for several acts of arson (including attempting to blow up a gasoline tanker).
Activists are trying to raise money for Luers’ appeal of his sentence (Luers made the boneheaded mistake of failing to plea bargain to lesser charges — his buddy Craig Marshall received only 5 years). But they also want people to send letters to help Luers pass the time in a lonely prison,
Prison is an extremely lonely place and sending letters to [Luers] asking how you can help, sharing stories, telling him about what is going on in the world is a great way to help.
Awww, poor Jeffrey. So if you want to write a serial arsonist with tales of the outside world or share some stories, please by all means don’t let me stop you. His address is:
Jeffrey Luers, #13797671
Oregon State Prison
2605 State Street
Salem, OR 97310
USA
