Prisoners Of Conscience |
|
|
| Albert Running Wolf of the Choctaw nation wanted to participate in this last weekends Run For Freedom Prisoners of Conscience. But he had a prior engagement as a MC at the Pow Wow for the Children. So instead of running, at 3:00pm he gathered everyone at the Pow Wow and had a prayer for the runners and the Prisoners that have sacrificed so much for us. |

| At noon on Saturday Erik Johnson walked 12 miles until 3pm as a showing of gratitude and solidarity for our efforts. His walk was terminated when there was a prisoner recall and a lock-down due to the fact that the prison authorites believed we were approaching the prison at 3pm. |

| Roger, a friend and cell mate of Erik's in FCI Manchester and a Lakota Indian, "lifted prayers" for all of us in a 3 hour sweat lodge held within the prison walls on Sunday! Roger was a stranger to Erik until a week before the Run. When he heard about the Run from a friend who had received one of our emails he came into Erik's cell "beaming"(Erik's words) and was very excited to hear of our action. We have helped Erik and Roger join in friendship, love and mutual respect in prison and believe me this IS IMPORTANT!!!. Especially to Erik and Roger!!! |
