[Bookstoprisoners] Letter to Terre Haute

[jamie storm]

Thanks for sending this issue to the list, Brian, so that your plans can be 
addressed by the B2P group.

>From your conversation yesterday with Susan and me I understood your 
intention in contacting the inmate in Indiana to be twofold:  1)  to offer 
B2P as the book request organization for all the Muslim prisoners in that 
institution and 2) to use B2P as your vehicle to publicize the use of Terre 
Haute prison as the repository for targeted Muslim prisoners.

The questions I raised are 1)should sending books to the inmates at Terre 
Haute be an exception to our practice of not filling  requests for books 
from out-of-state inmates and 2) is there a problem for the B2P program 
getting involved in this political issue.
