URGENT CALL TO ACTION: CALL IN FOR SEAN SWAIN

11:45am CST UPDATE:  The 614-387-0588 number is a general switch line, and was overheard saying "I need to turn off my phone" after thinking the activist on the other line had hung up. We are doing an excellent job, please keep it up!

Call-in for anarchist prisoner Sean Swain


Sean Swain, a long-term anarchist prisoner in Ohio, has come under fire
by the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction. The ODRC has
increased Sean’s security level from 3 to 5b, an increase that has sent
him to solitary confinement, led to him being handcuffed during visits,
and further removed him from any possibility for parole. Additionally,
the ODRC is threatening to put Sean on interstate compact, a system that
ships subversive prisoners around the country, places heavy restrictions
on communication, and interns them in the black hole of the interstate
compact system.

We’re calling for any who feel compelled by Sean’s plight to call ODRC
director Gary Mohr and demand that Sean’s appeal to the current
disciplinary hearing be granted and that Sean’s security level be
lowered. (A script for the call can be found below.)

Thank you all. Your solidarity means so much.

CALL-IN SCRIPT

I am calling on behalf of Sean Swain, inmate #243-205. I am [your relationship to Sean: friend, concerned citizen, etc] of
Sean's. I am calling to request the ODRC grant Mr. Swain's appeal
regarding his most recent disciplinary record, drop the charges, and
lower his security level from 5b to 2. Mr. Swain is not a physical
security risk, and there is no reason to keep him at such a high
security rating where he will be unable to get the programming he needs
to be eligible for rehabilitation and parole. Thank you for your
consideration.
