Veronza Bowers Moved From Florida Prison


CALL TO ACTION !
January 2008

Being in jail and receiving
NO MAIL
Is like
Being in Hell and getting
No water
                             --- Veronza Bowers 10.6.74

For Immediate Release

Veronza Bowers is an amazing spirit who was set to be released in 2004. The warden and parole commission said he's was good to go, get him out of here but the U.S. Attorney General (Gonzales) stepped in and stopped it. He's been illegally detained since.

The Collective Press asks you to send a postcard to Veronza. Recently, he was moved from Coleman, FL to Bennettsville, SC without anyone's knowledge. His lawyers were preparing to file an appeal in Ocala. People are working on getting him back here. All we ask of you is to send a quick postcard to Veronza himself to let him know that we support him and are keeping an eye on his well being. Through this simple action, the prison system will also see our support.

It can be simple, short, and sweet.

His address is:

Veronza Bowers #35316-136
FCI Bennettsville
Federal Correctional Institution
P.O. Box 52020
Bennettsville, SC 29512


You need to put a return address (no PO boxes) even if you don't use your real name.

If you do take the time to do this, do it SOON and please let us know by emailing us at themail@collectivepress.org. We are trying to keep track of how many are mailed.

For more information visit www.veronza.org and read the story of his three decades of incarceration and illegally delayed "MANDATORY" parole.

T-Shirts and CD's of Veronza's music are available at Loose Screws, St. Augustine. The proceeds of these sales go directly to support Veronza Bowers.
