SEND LETTERS, PHOTOS, BOOKS AND ENCOURAGEMENT:

Marie is currently in the Federal Correctional Institution Waseca  away from her community and young daughter, which comes with its own hardships and stresses.  Letters, Photos, Art, vegan recipes are all welcome. Please be sure to review the mail guidelines and federal prisoner mail rules found below in detail before sending anything.

We are encouraging folks to write Marie while she is incarcerated. Letters from the outside will serve as a lifeline and help keep her spirits up.
.

Letters of support must have a complete return address and must be addressed exactly as below for them to be accepted. Further mail rules and restrictions for Federal prisoners are listed below.
.

If you send Marie a letter and it gets returned to you, please let us know about it so we can add any other restrictions to the guideline list.
.

All letters must have a return address on the envelope. Also put a return address on the letter itself, as prisoners are almost never given the envelopes. Avoid using white-out, stickers, tape, colored ink/paper or glitter. Written correspondence and drawings may be in pencil, standard ink pen, typewritten, or computer generated. No felt pens, markers, crayon, or colored pencil, etc. All personal artwork must be in black & white, copied pages can be in color. Most facilities do not allow torn pages from books, magazine or newspaper clippings. Photocopies, however, are accepted. Keep in mind that all mail is read by authorities.
.
Again, DO NOT bring up or attempt to discuss Marie’s case, her co defendants, illegal acts, or the Green Scare when writing her. Please remember that, even if unsolicited, mail can still result in sanctions against a prisoner.

.
PHOTOS

Marie can get up to 3 photos per letter. no larger then 4 x 6. She would like photos of nature and animals, specifically wolves and whales, hiking trips, and gardens. No Polaroid photos.
