Another day, another jail for Carrie. Below is the information and a new address to write. Shiiiite...

The following is from Support Carrie and Scott.


Carrie moved AGAIN!

Carrie was just transferred to Dubuque County Jail; seems like Muscatine was just a temporary stop. (Any mail that has been sent there may or may not get to her; we would like to encourage folks to re-send mail to this address).

We think Dubuque is where she'll be for a while. Here is her mailing address there–mail should be getting through now:

Carolyn Feldman
770 Iowa St.
Dubuque, IA 52001

Mailing regulations for this jail: letters and cards are okay, "nothing inappropriate," no glitter. Photos are okay, including Polaroids. You cannot send stamps or envelopes; she has to buy them with commissary money. Commissary money can be sent to the jail in the form of money orders; make sure to note that the money is for her.

Books can come from publishers or bookstores. Hardbacks are okay. Magazines can come from publishers. Copied zines are not allowed (we know).

Carrie is in segregation at this jail for an unknown amount of time, on 23-hour lockdown, and she is no longer allowed visits from anyone other than immediate family. It is going to be especially important for people to write her now, as this may be her only contact with the majority of the outside world for a long time. Please write to Carrie and encourage others to do the same!

And as always, you can send e-letters to davenportgrandjury@riseup.net; we'll print them out and send them along.

Thank you all for your continued support.

  1. Somehow, I skipped the last page wich follows.

    Feldman, who studied two years at St.
    Catherine University before taking time off,
    is, like DeMuth, active in several Minnesota o
    rganizations, including Coldsnap Legal
    Collective and Earth Warriors are OK!
    (EWOK!), which supports people arrested
    during environmental or animal rights
    protests.

    She was volunteering with Coldsnap when
    she was arrested during the RNC and said
    Ramsey County Sheriff Robert Fletcher told
    her she was suspected of conspiracy to
    commit a riot. Officials released her without
    charges. She, like Deutsch, believes the RNC
    connections could be linked to the current
    arrest.

    "Feldman likely has knowledge about
    persons associated with ALF; she does not
    deny it," Cronk argued in writing. "The nature
    of her arguments which deflect attention
    from her and attacks the government suggest
    that she does."

    Jim Feldman, called to the stand during his
    daughter's November contempt hearing, says
    he answered "yes" when asked if she was an
    anarchist.

    "In retrospect, I should have asked Cronk to
    define his term," he said in an e-
    mail. "Subsequent statements from him
    indicate that he thinks anarchism equates to
    being a terrorist intent on using violent
    means to take down the government."

    The government notes that in 2006 Carrie
    Feldman owned white rats similar to those
    sprung from the laboratory. Her mother, Julia
    Philips, said the pets came from a friend and
    the humane society. She said the
    government's insinuation is "kind of wacky."

    Kushner, whose appeals for Feldman's
    release have twice been denied, continues to
    try, with a latest court ruling expected
    Monday.

    Feldman said she's prepared to do the whole
    11 months, if necessary. She adds:

    I don't think they should have the right to
    force me to testify or bully me by holding me
    in jail because I'm involved in political
    activism."
