Jump To Comment: 3 2 1Fr. Steve Kelly SJ, Fr.Louie Vitalie, Betsy Lamb and Fr. Jerry Zawada are presently in prison for their nonviolent resistance at the U.S. military torture training school Fort Huachuca in Arizona, USA.
Graduates from Fort Huachuca go on to practise their techniques at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo and the secret dungeons of the C.I.A./U.S. military.
More background on the resister prisoners, Fort Huachuca, torture as U.S. policy check out

The best way to write to the four prisoners is individually and care of the following address
c/o the Nuclear Resister,
PO Box 43383,
Tucson,
AZ 85733
USA
This redirection service will ensure your letter gets to them and is not returned in event of prison move or release.
Having spent 13 months in jail in the enormous facist rabbit warren that is the U.S. prison system, I can't emphasise enough the significance of a postcard or a letter from Ireland or anywhere else.
Prison is designed to break the resister - too isolate, atomise, scare, humiliate, convince them no one cares about them or torture in this case. Solidarity is the only anti-venom we have!
I received a letter from Fr. Louie Vitale recently. I first met Louie in '87 when he was provincial of the Franciscans on the west coast (U.S.). His province were were spearheading nonviolent resistance at the Nevada nuclear test site. The Franciscan Pace Bene were doing interesting stuff with desert spirituality and nonviolent resistance. On release Louie and Jesuit Steve Kelly face further prosecution with some L.A. Catholic Workers for earlier nonviolent resistance at Vandenburg Air Force Base.
Louie was in good form in his recent letter.
