According to the BOP inmate locator, Marie Mason is at the Federal Transfer Center in Oklahoma City. Although rumors continue to swirl, there is no confirmation at this time as to where Mason will end up.
Please drop Mason a line. If you are writing a longer letter, we recommend you photocopy it, in case she is gone by the time it arrives. This way you can resend it again later.

[Mason has now been moved]
On Thursday (July 1) Marie Mason was placed in solitary confinement. Her cell is very small and windowless, and since then she has only been allowed to stand outside (in a small cage) for under an hour, in total.
She cannot send email and can only make one phone call a week. She has also lost access to the vegan food she was buying from the commissary, and so she has an extremely limited diet.
She has been told that she has been ”re-classified”, although exactly what this means is unclear. They may be preparing to transfer her.
Mason can still send and receive letters. However, she asks that supporters do not send pictures at this time.
If anyone has information about what process is being initiated, please contact us at supportmariemason at gmail. We encourage all supporters to write her and keep her spirits up.
Marie Mason’s birthday is January 26. We ask all supporters to send her a card!
If you make one, remember – don’t use anything like white-out, stickers, tape or glitter on it. We also recommend that you put her name and prisoner number on the card, lest the authorities “lose” the envelope and forget where it is going.
Marie Mason #04672-061 FCI Waseca Federal Correctional Institution P.O. Box 1731 Waseca, MN 56093We received a letter from Marie Mason recently with updates. As we said before, she expects to be at Waseca for a while.
She has been assigned a job working in the kitchen (unfortunately not, originally as she was told, as a guitar instructor). She is working out and getting most of her vegan dietary concerns taken care of.
Marie is currently being held at the Clinton County Jail; her sentencing date is in February 2009.
She greatly appreciates letters and images from supporters. These letters keep Marie’s spirit up and are very meaningful to her. We encourage everyone to drop her a line, even if it is just a postcard.
“All letters must have a return address on the envelope. Also put a return address on the letter itself, as prisoners are almost never given the envelopes. Avoid using white-out, stickers, tape, colored ink/paper or glitter. Written correspondence and drawings may be in pencil, standard ink pen, typewritten, or computer generated. No felt pens, markers, crayon, or colored pencil, etc. All personal artwork must be in black & white, copied pages can be in color. Most facilities do not allow torn pages from books, magazine or newspaper clippings. Photocopies, however, are accepted. Keep in mind that all mail is read by authorities.
DO NOT bring up or attempt to discuss Mason’s case, her co defendants, illegal acts, or the Green Scare when writing her. Please remember that, even if unsolicited, mail can still result in sanctions against a prisoner.”
Mason can get up to 3 photos per letter. no larger then 4 x 6. She would like photos of nature and animals, specifically wolves and whales, hiking trips, and gardens.”
