MARC EMERY

• Facebook Status Update: Marc is extremely lonely and depressed in the Nevada Southern Detention Centre, waiting to be moved to Taft FCI in California. No word on when it’ll happen. No books, magazines, mail, visits, commissary… it’s mental torture being stuck here. Not wanting to eat anymore. Not wanting to do anything. Desperately need to hear from the outside world. Please send letters! www.CannabisCulture.com/SendMarcMail
