Prisoners Of Conscience |
| I think the best way to describe this event is to let Erik Johnson's words do it for me. Below is an excerpt from a letter Erik wrote me after it was all over. I will always wonder what the sum total of all the reverberations will be as Erik describes in his last sentence below. |

At FCI Manchester there was a road block beginning on Thursday and ending on Sunday! Libby and all other visiitors were asked the purpose of their entrance before they were allowed up the road. In Erik's own words. "The news of your coming impacted 350+ BOP workers and neighbors, Manchester, inmates and afforded me at every chance to talk about SOA, Peace Runners, yearning for nonviolent path, etc." Erik quotes from Thomas Nerton "Do not depend on the hope of results. We act because of what we believe and who we are, not because we expect or need immediate results." Erik goes on to say "I am confident that the power and witness of your run from Janice's place of incarceration at Lexington to Manchester reverberated far and wide in ways unseen and unknown to you." |
