Also, if you include a phone number then the prisoner can add it to the system of allowed numbers, although at Kris' prison it doesn't seem to work.
Just a reminder that there is a way to send money directly to Kristofer Kearney. Flag me in the comments.
It looks like the fine people at H & D beat me to it.

I'll see if I can come up with some different questions for my interview of Vincent.
We started in February and now have 50 subscribers and greater engagement, as a percentage, than any other channel I know of, no matter what metric one uses. That's a promising start!

I started with a vision for this project, and its development is on course. The pinned post is a kind of manifesto, but there is more to the vision: I guesstimated that one might expect 10% engagement, and of that group, 10% (that is, 1% of subscribers) would become dedicated to what we are doing. That is, if we have 1000 subscribers then we will have a cadre of 10. I suspect we're doing a bit better than that, and the reason is that the channel is limited mostly to practical matters and therefore is unlikely to have much appeal to people seeking novelty. That is by design.

I encourage this! The prisoners' contact information is published here so that people can write to them.

All of them!

If no-one else interviews every last prisoner then I will, but it is better that others take it up.

There's another point to be made: Prison censors cramp an interviewer's style a bit. Once he is released the prisoner can speak more freely, which might make for a more interesting interview.

I found a way to find some prisoners' date of birth:

Go to cps.gov.uk and use the search function at top left of the page to search the prisoner's name.

If a page about the prisoner's case is found then down the bottom will be "Notes to editors" that will likely include the DOB.

I'm not sure the CPS is acting legally by releasing that information but whatever, it's the CPS and they can do whatever they want. Now, if you or I did that then it might cause us legal problems. If it is there then we might as well use it (see below).

I found James but not the others discussed here. That can be explained in some cases (maybe) by the fact that they haven't been sentenced yet, except that Kris has been sentenced but he's not there. Vincent is in another jurisdiction,

This was an experiment, one more tool for us to use.

I was told by the switchboard person at one prison that you can use the DOB instead of the prisoner number, for sending mail. You still have to know the prison that he is in, but it makes the job easier, since the prison is sometimes mentioned in newspaper reports.

And if you can send him a letter using the DOB then he can reply and include his prisoner number. Then you're off to the races using the e-mail service, sending books, and money via the gov site.

I searched some old cases and came up with nothing. so perhaps they are removed after the prisoner has served his sentence. I don't know, but one might use https://archive.org/web if one needs to get at removed pages.
While perusing the CPS site I came across this case. It is interesting because it contains a lesson, confirming something most of us already know and that I have seen up close.

The guy got angry at a jew and verbally abused him. The jew summoned an officer and the guy has had his life ripped apart.

It's a trap and they all know this. Don't step in the trap, don't do the instinctive thing, just say NOTHING and walk away.
The comments below are by Tyrone's mother, under the post about the Black Wolf Radio guys. Welcome, Gabriel!

Both guys are now remanded in Elmley prison in Sheerness Kent after initially being remanded in Wandsworth Prison. Chris has just had his contacts approved but Tyrone is still being barred from any outside contact which is very concerning as he is a vulnerable adult. As someone who attended both trials (last year's Jury was dismissed by the Judge when it became clear that the Crown's Case was full of holes when the police witnesses were unable to answer simple questions about the case) I observed that far from securing him the adjustments necessary for a fair trial, Tyrone's vulnerability is being used against him at every turn to goad him into a mental collapse. He managed to get a message out to me yesterday via Chris to say that his medication is not being provided. The prison blocked me from their emergency line when I expressed concern that he had not been allowed even a single call out. I was told that the anti-terrorism unit are behind this and I believe this maybe because I complained a out the arresting officers so it is a way of punishing me as well as my son. I have good reason to believe that emails are not being passed on either so please can someone attempt to send one to Elmley prison🙏. Tyrone 's DOB is 22/12/1987 and his prison number is A1125EZ.

I have no doubt that the Judge dismissed last year's Jury to give the Prosecution an opportunity to learn from the mistakes of the first trial and get their story straight thereby giving them an unfair advantage. Indeed this year they did not call the D. Sgt who last year said that their priority was to secure a conviction rather than prevent loss of life. They only had once police witness who was allegedly only assigned to the case a month before the arrest so couldn't really answer any questions about the shambolic 'investigation.' There are no victims and the police refuse to reveal who instigated the investigation on the basis that it would 'jeopardise National Security'.
The guys were very critical of Police and the Criminal (in) justice system on their podcasts and the irony is that by condemning the men for having these views, the Judiciary are confirming that everything these men said about them is true...
They were accused of making a podcast to say things to encourage or incite others to commit acts of terrorism: this is rubbish. As Tyrone said 'It never entered my head.'
6 minutes of conversation out of 106 hours of podcasting was alleged to have crossed the line but it wasn't those 6 minutes that was used to condemn them so much as their views which were shared with the Jury over and over again to whip them up into an hysterical frenzy of outrage against these two men despite the podcast containing a warning that unless one was a white male with right wing views, some of the content may be offensive. This disclaimer of course was never shared with the Jury.
The police found nothing incriminating at my son's flat or on his computer which contains personal writings expressing a view that he would never encourage any young person to get involved in any type of terrorism. Of course the police have the laptop in their possession and have probably destroyed those files by now.

The Judge was extremely biased throughout and from the time he sent the Jury away, suspended all media reporting which up until that time had also been biased: one of the journalists was in fact a non-practising barrister. The Judge remanded my son and indeed the CPS commenced the retrial against all medical advice and the pleas of the Defence on health grounds.
It took police over ten weeks to come up with a form of wording that would put these men under a terrorism charge rather than the lesser possible crime of hate speech. They moved Tyrone out of Wandsworth prison on the day he was due to have a Solicitor's meeting (which may have included discussion regarding an Appeal against the conviction) without informing the solicitor he had moved. I believe this too was deliberate to scupper his right to Appeal.

Some people didn't see the police mugshot of the Black Wolf Radio guys because their phone doesn't show it. I know it isn't the most flattering shot possible (any more than you would look your best in a police photo). I know that Tyrone is supposedly a common name among blacks (although I never met one with it). Now I'm going to attend to more useful matters.
Please send what you can to Tyrone. It appears that his mum is blocked for now (at least for e-mail) so she requested this. Below is all the information you need. The name in the mail address is shortened to the surname as suggested by ES. Having worked as a mail sorter during my student days I know this abbreviation of the address is enough! The full name is only needed for the e-mail and money sites, and the prisoner number and DOB for the money site.

Name: Tyrone Patten-Walsh

Address to put on mail:

Patten-Walsh - A1125EZ
HMP Elmley
ME12 4DZ

DOB: 22/12/1987

Sentencing is on Tuesday 26 September at Kingston Crown Court.
Postcards probably don't require a return name and address, letters probably do require those on the back of the envelope.
"There are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil to one who is striking at the root."

- Henry David Thoreau

The root of our problem is isolation: The enemy knows that we are easy to crush as individuals.

You're evidently interested in our project. Therefore, next time you're wondering what to do, ask yourself the following question:

What can I do today to help the well-being of the prisoners?

Next time you catch yourself seething with frustration and resentment (you'll just make yourself sick and tired that way), simply recall that question and act upon the answer.

Thanks. He was finally allowed to contact me after 14 days whereupon I discovered that the welfare reports given to me about how he was being supported were a pack of lies. They only cleared his call numbers when I accused them of breaking the Law.
Told him about this group and he was delighted to be featured on it! Hoping to see him next Tuesday.

Whoever runs this channel, shoot me your DM so I don't have to relay things to you via comments.

The prison bus never came for Ash on Friday, his sentencing has been delayed to Aug 31st. The state has also said they're now pursuing a 9 YEAR sentence for possession. They failed to find any intent so they've cooked up a story that the White Stag Athletic Club was the first step on a path to terrorism. This is entirely inference and not supported by any evidence, biased judge looks set to allow this travesty.

Despite the judge putting on a show of outrage, it's thought that the prison bus transport was intentionally sabotaged so that instead of the defence barrister presenting the judge with arguments AGAINST a sentence of 6-9 years in-person with the judge and prosecution having to react in the moment, the defence now has to file the reasoning by mid-August, giving time for both the state prosecution and the judge to work around those arguments.

Ash is being completely railroaded and any letters of support would be most appreciated at this time as he's just gone from thinking he has 2-3 inside to potentially 6-9.

Something I've been ruminating on for quite a while:

There is a need for a UK equivalent of Striker's "National Justice" (now "Justice Report"): an online newspaper, but with one addition: outrages such as the above.

National Justice/Justice Report, like TRS, punches way above its weight in terms of unique visitors, even having its articles stolen by national msm.

Recall how the adverse publicity of a video'd confrontation at East Palestine, Ohio (site of a train derailment and environmental disaster) forced the anti-white congressman and governor to call for federal aid.

This is such a "no brainer" - just adopt a proven template and tweak for local conditions.

Tabloid but true.

The UK is small enough that one person with an after-market video camera might realistically visit events, and wrecked homes, and interview people. A retired person can get from one end of the island to the other on a free local bus card.

^^ The immediacy of video more easily allows one to present a sympathetic subject such as a family that has been attacked by CT. A Givesendgo campaign would then maximize the chance of collecting donations. It is therefore a natural complement to this project.
