Does anyone know the prison and prisoner number of either of the men referred to in the article above?

If you are 100% risk averse then here's a way to do something real with zero risk: do the legwork necessary to find the answers.
Update on Kristofer Kearney #1:

I have received word that he will likely be released "in weeks rather than months."

DO THIS NOW:

Send a postcard, unsigned if you wish, to:

Kristofer Kearney - A4144EW
HMP Chelmsford
CM2 6LQ

The address above works, although the delay both ways is between one week and one month, in my recent experience. I am also reliably advised that the delays are due to the poor management of that prison.

My apologies for not releasing this sooner but maybe I had been overly-autistic in wanting to get his explicit permission.

You could also write a letter but in that case you need to put your name and address on the back of the envelope. You could order and send a book (nothing edgy) to him from blackwells.co.uk. You can send him emails (don't forget to check the box to include a reply sheet) and money at emailaprisoner.com. The e-mails are still delayed because they are printed out and read by prison censors before being delivered, but at least it omits the usual day or two of the mail service.

But really, just sending a postcard makes you a star.

If you write a letter then take a photo of it to later send to his new address in case it had got lost. I shall keep the channel advised of this.

More update details on Kris to come shortly.

Update on Kristofer Kearney #2:

On the weekend I had a conversation with someone familiar with Kris' case, and I have the source's permission to summarize our conversation in this update.

The Spanish government has requested that Kris be returned to Spain, and the UK government has sent a letter agreeing to this transfer pending sign-off by CT (Counter Terrorism). The final decision will come by 14 July.

The Spanish government has no legal issues with Kris so the transfer is likely to result in his release in Spain so that he can return to his family in Alicante.

Legal counsel has expressed the opinion that this will be completed "in weeks rather than months."

Dear subscribers: Please spam the update on Kris everywhere. We want to get him some cards and letters, and any money sent to his commissary account will no doubt be a help to the family when he is released.

Addendum on sending money to prisoners:

It seems that it is no longer possible through emailaprisoner.com, as I was able to do for James a few weeks ago. The "transfer funds" option is gone from the sidebar. The "secure payment" website has only a handful of prisons in its dropdown menu, and Chelmsford isn't one of them.

Sorry about that! I shall find out if such a method exists.

There is this site, if you already know the prisoner's date of birth. The problem is that I won't publish that here, even if I knew it, because of the possibility of bad actors being present. Having someone's name plus date of birth allows access to some government databases and the possibility of identity theft.

I won't handle funds, for obvious reasons.

The most likely means that is safe and transparent is probably to set up a crowd source account that allows a family member or trusted friend to withdraw money and send some or all of it to the prisoner's prison account.

Crowd source platforms allow anyone to see what has been donated, and the recipients can see what is there to withdraw.

If anyone wants to donate to Kris. IM me.
Seriously, I don't collect any money. You, from anywhere in the world, can pay Kris by an institutional method that I successfully used today and is as safe as anything else in this f*-up system. Just flag me in the comments.
I am seriously surprised at the lack of interest in the update about Kris, as indicated by low view count.

Sentencing is next Friday 21st.
^^^ What we want is to use the info in the article to find out post-sentencing contact information or to be put in contact with their families, or both.
Just a reminder, and also since we have a lot of new subscribers:

Please send any or all of our prisoners a postcard. I have tested with Vincent and James that a POSTCARD WILL BE DELIVERED WITHOUT A RETURN NAME AND ADDRESS, so it is more likely than not to work for all of them.

Also, please don't forget Kris Kearney, The fact that he is likely to be released "in weeks rather than months" is not quite the same thing as "soon." It means anything you send now is likely to be delivered despite the delays due to the prison's incompetent management.
Here is the list of addresses. If you send a letter then you need to put your name and address on the back. For postcards you don't need to include your name and address unless you want to receive a reply.

Note though that postage is expensive for a prisoner. If you want an ongoing conversation then the e-mail service at emailaprisoner.com is the preferred option, and if you use it then remember to check the "request a reply" box in order to include a reply sheet for the prisoner to reply at no cost to himself.
