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.

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.
