Re Ashley Podsiad-Sharp.

There's a typo on the address.
His Prison number is A6320EW

Blame Ash’s terrible handwriting! 😂

Sentencing is next Friday 21st.

A recent article from CAA on the Black Wolf Radio guys, with some useful information.

https://antisemitism.org/neo-nazi-podcasters-who-encouraged-listeners-to-commit-violence-convicted-of-terror-offences/

^^^ 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.

Vincent Reynouard - 160071
HMP Edinburgh

Kristofer Kearney - A4144EW
HMP Chelmsford
CM2 6LQ

James Allchurch - A5903EY
HMP Swansea
SA1 3SR

Ash Podsiad-Sharp - A6320EW
HMP Altcourse
L9 7LH

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.
