A number of people have requested that Mail-to-Jail support liberty activists that are not in New Hampshire (and do not plan to move here, i.e., have nothing to do with New Hampshire). Some of the requesters are from other parts of the world and some are here in NH. Some of the jailed activists that have been suggested are only questionably liberty activists (from my limited research) - in other words, I couldn't tell from their stories or histories what their current plight had to do with trying to achieve more liberty (even if they were being jailed for a victimless crime, they may not have been aware of it); and others that were suggested were indeed liberty activists.
When freedom activists go to jail, they do it standing up for everyone's natural rights. Please don't let them be forgotten! Send them letters, tell them how their actions affected you, update them on what's happening outside prison, keep them company, thank them, support them!
Flooding the jail with letters will send a message to the jailers that there is a huge number of us who aren't happy about the existence of victimless crimes, and it will simultaneously send cheer and hope to the activist who has been unjustly imprisoned.
And sometimes jail employees mistreat prisoners. The more public attention a prisoner is getting, the less likely he/she is to be maltreated (above and beyond locking them up). When the jailers know that many people are closely watching what happens to the prisoner, they're more careful with that prisoner. Letters to the prisoner and phone calls to the jail inquiring about the prisoner's well-being are easy, powerful ways to make sure that happens.
When you send a letter via this website, we pay for postage and mail it to your activist at whatever jail they are being held in.

More thanks!
Thanks very much to Furb for sending us 100s of postcards in a dozens of designs, as well as stamps and envelopes! His donation will go a long way to help get outside communication to jailed liberty activists in New Hampshire.
We'll be scanning these new postcards and making them available on the website over the next few days.
Thanks!
I want to express a heartfelt thanks to all of you who wrote letters to Sam, Kurt, Kevin, Andrew, Dave, Ian, Lauren, Serene, Ivy, Elaine, Ed, and me - and who continue to write letters to jailed liberty activists. I know it means a lot to receive letters in jail, be they supportive or just casual conversation.
New PorcFest '09 postcards
Thanks to Carl Ricketson for creating and distributing PorcFest '09 postcards for free at the recent Porcupine Freedom Festival. He not only handed them out to everyone he could find, but he donated a bunch to Mail-to-Jail. Thanks, Carl!
Postcards are here!
We have added the ability to send postcards in addition to letters. Currently, we only have a very limited supply of a very limited selection of postcards, but we're looking for more.
