We received 2 letters from locked down Toledo Rebel
Lasandra Burwell in the past month. For those that
dont know Lasandra is doing 5 years in state prison
for throwing bricks at police and smashing a police
cars wind shield at a Nazi rally on 10/15/05.
She is thankful for the letters and support and goes
on to say in part "Keep writing cuz letters are like
fresh air, when I hear was goin on in the outside
world... Its like a dark cloud hanging over this
place. But I try not to let it get me down, if its
nothing positive I stay away .... I'm missing my
husband and kids dearly. I spend the days I'm not
working reading and trying to stay out of the way."
She made a couple requests for support. Keep in mind
all books sent to Ohio prisoners MUST come from a
bookstore or the publisher. The Books 4 Prisoners Crew
is an approved distributor of books to Ohio prisoners
and is happy to forward on any books to Lasandra you
may have. All books should be paperback and in new or
like new condition. Contact us for more info.
1. Any books by Jerome Dicky
2. Dutch by Nikki Turner (I got the impression from
her letter that
this might be a series)
3. Any books by E. Lynn Harris
She also says her husband cannot afford to send her
care packages. Care packages from friends and family
were banned in Ohio a couple years ago under the guise
of security and now must come directly from a third
party for profit vendor at inflated prices. She says
"This places food is no good." and requests if anyone
can afford it to send her coffee and creamer but
mentions she would be grateful for anything. Check out
Lasandra can also get up to 3 embossed envelopes per
letter (NO loose stamps!). With collect calls from
prisoners running as high as $3.30 - $7 for 15 min
(with phone company's giving kickbacks to the state to
prey on prisoners family's with these outrageous
charges). Letters are one of the only ways for her to
keep in contact with her family. Please show Lasandra
she is not forgotten and support her in one of the
above mentioned ways. Even a letter will help keep her
spirits up.
In The Struggle,
Steve

yup. She pled guilty to two counts of felonious assault and one count of aggravated riot. She was one of the locals who took offense at nazis in their community and apparently she didn't think too highly of the cops either.
Not a tactic I would take part in or advocate but she's a political prisoner in my view, although i was fussed at for calling her that on infoshop.
is that accurate?
