Bureau of Prisons: relentless with Carlos Alberto Torres

As part of the Bureau of Prison’s delayed entry 
into the 21st century, it is implementing 
TRULINCS (Trust Fund Limited Inmate Computer 
System) throughout the federal prison system, to 
provide prisoners with access to email through a 
special system allowing prison officials to 
monitor all incoming and outgoing emails.

Puerto Rican political prisoner Carlos Alberto 
Torres was looking forward to the convenient, 
regular communication it facilitates, given that, 
since his transfer to FCI Pekin, his postal 
correspondence is regularly delayed from one to three months.

But it was not to be. On December 9, the SIS 
[prison intelligence office] lieutenant called 
him in to notify him that— unlike the rest of the 
FCI Pekin population— he will not be allowed 
access to email. Why? Because of “his case and 
his background,” offered the lieutenant, who had 
no response to Carlos Alberto’s inquiry as to 
why, after 29 years of impeccable conduct, they 
would treat him this way, pointing out that his 
release might be just around the corner, citing 
the USPC hearing examiner’s recommendation for 
April 2010 release. Nor did the lieutenant 
provide the required written explanation for his exclusion from the program.

Show your support for Carlos Alberto by writing 
to the U.S. Parole Commission to encourage them 
to adopt the recommendation and order his 
release! Sample letter available at
