than 2 months to live and he's now on hospice care inside the prison. He,
along with one other person, has been in solitary confinement for the past
41 years. He wrote this heart wrenching statement recently and there's
some petitions folks can sign to try to get him compassionate release. Not
to mention his birthday is in October so make sure to send him a card.
