Urgent  Write to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on behalf of Leonard 
Peltier regarding his transfer

October 16, 2008

As we reported in a previous email, Leonard is once again being 
uprooted and relocated to another prison. Although this seems to be a 
strategy by the federal government to disrupt his defense committee, 
we can take advantage of the limbo Leonard is in right now by 
demanding that the Bureau of Prisons transfer him to a facility 
closer to his home reservation. Turtle Mountain is requesting that 
Leonard be transferred to the reservation's custody, and in the 
meantime there are federal facilities in Sandstone, Minnesota and 
Oxford, Wisconsin which could accommodate him.

Please send the following correspondence or similar as soon as possible to:

Federal Bureau of Prisons
Designation and Sentence Computation Center (DSCC)
Grand Prairie Office Complex
U.S. Armed Forces Reserve Complex
346 Marine Forces Drive
Grand Prairie, TX 75051

Re:  Leonard Peltier #89637-132

Dear DSCC:

I am contacting you seeking consideration for Mr. Leonard Peltier who 
will be transferred from Lewisburg, Pennsylvania in the near 
future.  Mr. Peltier has been a model prisoner and deserves to be 
transferred to a lower security prison.  Also, Mr. Peltier should be 
transferred to a facility close to his home based on the hardship 
policy of the Bureau of Prisons, because his family has grown older, 
is on a fixed income which limits the time they can visit him.  Mr. 
Peltier has served over 32 years in prison and deserves to be close 
to his family during this crucial time in their lives.  For these 
reasons I ask that you transfer Mr. Peltier to the Turtle Mountain 
Reservation's custody as soon as possible.  The alternatives that 
would help satisfy this request are either the federal facility in 
Sandstone Minnesota or Oxford Wisconsin as both are near in proximity to his
family.

In the name of all things good and humane, I ask you to do the right 
thing for compassion's sake in the transfer of Leonard Peltier today. 
Thank you and may the Creator bless you.

Sincerely,
<Your Name>
<Your Address>

Thank you
