Christina,
So sorry to hear that about Newton. My friend didn't mention that in his letter which I just got yesterday. He's in detention and not in the dorms. I can tell he's more depressed than usual and writing me more frequently. He tried to use his calling card and it wouldn't work.

Maybe they feel their contract won't be renewed and don't care anymore. I've asked my friend if I should call his counselor.

Let you know if I hear anything. Karen

Last month, my friend said channel 13 in Tucson had asked to interview Newton prisoners from Tucson. They came back and filmed after the interview. Those who weren't from Tucson were invited to submit letters. I have checked their website for the past few weeks and haven't found any news. I'll send them an email. Karen
