excerpts from occupychicago<\/a>:<\/em><\/p>\n

Constructive, fantastic, awesome and fearless comrades remain in jail on false charges. Everyone can help support them. There are numerous ways of doing so.\u00a0 Support our friends emotionally and physically by writing and visiting during their incarceration; financially by donating to our bail fund at www.tinyurl.com\/OCbailfund<\/a>; and generally by letting your social networks know the truth about the recent happenings.\u00a0 Below are instructions and information about visiting and writing letters to our friends, along with some useful tips and resources.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT INFO:<\/p>\n

If you are going to visit our arrested comrades, be prepared for Cook County-caliber frustration. The \u201cDepartment of Corrections\u201d facilitates the decomposition of inmates\u2019 sanity and increases the anxiety of dissenters in general.\u00a0 Do not expect co-operation. Cook County Sheriffs are tools of the state, charged with isolating and terrifying (political) prisoners and their supporters. Bring plenty of patience and possibly this document. You have the information. Use it.<\/p>\n

Jail support is not a chance to stick it to the man. This means that you should comply with reasonable requests from officers, such as moving slightly farther away from the precinct, and that you should not antagonize desk sergeants or court officers. When our fellow activists are in custody our behavior outside the precinct can effect their treatment inside.<\/p>\n

You will need ID.\u00a0 Acceptable forms include state ID, driver\u2019s license, student ID, military ID, CPD ID, passport. Bring nothing with you other than your ID and your car keys or transit pass. Otherwise, the Sheriff\u2019s department will make you rent a $3 locker.<\/p>\n

You can visit Jay, Brent and Jacob once per week.<\/p>\n

Visitors are allowed only to communicate with inmates via a bulletproof, AUDIO-RECORDING membrane. DO NOT DISCUSS THE PARTICULARS OF THEIR CHARGES. It could jeopardize their case. This applies to written communication too. It\u2019s also probably something they don\u2019t want to think about in the few minutes they have to interact with people on the outside.\u00a0 If you are uncertain about whether or not a topic of conversation is sensitive, err on the side of caution- don\u2019t mention it. Jay, Brent, and Jacob need general human conversation to let them know someone out there cares about them, that they\u2019re not alone. They need assurance that the non-imprisoned world still remembers, cares about, and supports them. We can, should, and will do so.<\/p>\n

Empower others by sharing this information. Let\u2019s demonstrate to the public and to each other that another world is possible and that starts with supporting our comrades.<\/p>\n

HOW TO CONTACT JACOB, BRENT, AND JAY<\/p>\n

Visit Brian (Jacob) Church (inmate #2012-0519002), Brent Betterly (inmate #2012-0519001) and Jared (Jay) Chase (inmate #20120519003) at 31st and Sacramento in maximum security division 9. It\u2019s down the street from the courthouse, and West on 31st. You can visit them (separately) on Mondays 3:30 p.m. – 8:30 p.m. and Saturdays 8 am to 1 pm. Their next court date is June 12 at 2600 S. California, Branch 98.<\/p>\n

Visitors can only see Brian, Brent, or Jay once per week.<\/p>\n

If you aren\u2019t able to visit, you can mail letters. Books are welcome but need to be delivered to the Occupy Chicago office at 500 West Cermak, Chicago, IL (only \u201cpublishers\u201d can send books to prisoners). We encourage people to drop off books or zines. Brent likes to read science fiction, Brian reads nonfiction, and Jacob wants colored pencils and paper. Letters are always welcome and can be delivered directly to Jay, Brent, and Jacob. Address letters to:<\/p>\n
