Letters from the Inside, Michael Swango, #77

I'm pasting in scans of his recent, relatively short letter. However, he always adds enclosures. I don't usually mention them, but today's are fairly noteworthy.

The first is about HENRIETTA LACKS. I have learned so much from writing to these prisoners. Particularly because most of them have genius level IQs. Prisoners can be servicey! Here's the article from USA Today about Henrietta Lacks.

The second noteworthy article is about how choking is perceived by the law in NY. I did not know this and it is worrisome both because it is not considered illegal to choke someone and because Swango, being a murderer and all, sent it.

The last noteworthy article is about Doctors Without Morals. It's more uh-oh funny than ha-ha funny and the irony is not lost on Swango who comments on how he realizes it is ironic he is sending this along.

And now onto the letter:
