PRISONER UPDATE
NEWS FROM THE FRONT LINES FATHER’S DAY 6/19 — IT’S A TIME WHEN MANY WILL BE THINKING ABOUT HOW THEIR DAD TAUGHT THEM TO FISH OR WORRIED WHEN THEY WENT TO PROM. BUT A FEW THOUSAND KIDS WILL NEVER KNOW THESE MEMORIES BECAUSE THEIR FATHER IS IN JAIL FOR A PLANT. Thousands of fathers sit behind bars for this super plant, and this month we would like to honor a few close to our heart. Richard Delisi #087624 B3-101L South Bay Correctional Facility, 600 US Highway 7 South South Bay, FL 33493.
Richard Delisi - One of the longest-serving inmates has a son, a daughter and grandchildren he’s never played with. As we write, Richard hasn’t been doing so well. The prison changed his living conditions which has definitely not helped his emphysema since his cellmate is a tobacco smoker. This is just another torture he’s endured over the course of 28 years. Let us hope he doesn’t spend his last days slowly being killed by a nicotine-producing machine, a substance that has killed way more people than the marijuana he’s been accused of being involved with. Please send him a letter or card to lift his spirits.
Craig Cesal #52948-019 FCI Terre Haute P.O. Box 33 Terre Haute, IN 47808.
Craig Cesal - Another father, hero and weekly caller to the VOW (Voices Of the Cannabis War) podcast on BlogTalkRadio is Craig Cesal. Craig still resides in the infamous prison in not-so-sunny Terre Haute, Ind. A place that can only be described as the spot where the real hardcore criminals go to jail, yet Craig is not a criminal. Craig, who is diabetic and serving life for Cannabis, is being forced to live on a diet of bologna sandwiches for breakfast and lunch and with inferior health care. Craig’s daughter fights for her dad on the outside, as they are the only family each other has after Craig’s son lost his life. Craig wasn’t even allowed to attend his own son’s funeral. Please send a note to him with your thoughts. Sherry Flor - Sherry is finally free of her federal sentence! Sherry’s husband, Richard Flor, owned Montana Cannabis while Sherry worked for the company. In 2011, the federal government raided the company and sent Richard and Sherry to prison. Richard died a neglectful and tormenting death in prison shackled to a hospital bed while Sherry served her sentence. Sherry was released from prison and has been serving her probation. The judge signed off on her probation two years early! She is now finally free!

WASHINGTON
Lance Gloor is being held at the SeaTac Federal Bureau of Prisons after being detained for a cellphone violation in March. Lance had a detention hearing on May 10, which could have freed him until his sentencing, but despite a rally and a courtroom full of supporters, the judge denied his release, claiming he’s a flight risk. One of the fucked up things about our judicial system was how prosecuting attorney Vince Lombardi mentioned things that had nothing to do with evidence presented during the trial. One thing wrongly presented by the prosecution was how Lance was operating a currently illegal so-called medical dispensary, which was not the case since the hearing was in May and the law didn’t take effect until June. During his trial, they did not prove he broke any current state laws. Lance’s new attorney mentioned the present ongoings with the 9th District and the pending decision for the prosecution of medical marijuana cases in medical states. Section 538 states no federal funds will be used in the prosecution of medical marijuana facilities. Even this didn’t deter Lombardi, who simply said we can revisit it then, clearly a man with no forethought of his place in history. Lance needs your help as he is scheduled for sentencing at 10:30 a.m. on June 3. He needs as many people as possible to come to his hearing and stand up for him in the courtroom. Another rally is scheduled before the hearing at 9 a.m. (bring your “Free Lance” signs!) Lance faces five to 60 years, however, the prosecutor is recommending 10. Lance needs your support. He needs you to write a letter to Judge Leighton, asking him to be lenient on his sentence. You can email your letter or questions to psm103_17@yahoo.com.
HE NEEDS AS MANY PEOPLE AS POSSIBLE TO COME TO HIS HEARING AND STAND UP FOR HIM IN THE COURTROOM.
