A Message From Lauren: Good news for her, not such good news for everyone who writes her.

"Hello Everyone. I'm writing to apologize in advance for what will surely be an even poorer rate of response to your letters that I've already had up to this point. You see, right before I came to prison last November - literally 3 days before - I was accepted to Graduate School to pursue a Master's Degree in the First Amendment, and the university had graciously permitted me to earn it from prison. This was a goal I had, to use my time here as best I could to help reach my ultimate goals of attending law school and practicing free speech law (defending all of you!) I still plan to pursue these goals after my release.

So, I began school on July 2nd, and am very, VERY, busy with it. So please accept my apologies if I am unable to respond to your letters. I will still be writing back to people, but it's bound to be fewer of you, and to take longer than it would otherwise. Please know I appreciate all of your mail and support - the AR movement does amazing jail support (more on that another time). I will understand if I end up with less mail, but please know, if you do write, I read your letters and am very thankful for them, even if I am unable to respond.

Again, thank you all so much for your support.
Lauren"
