Letter to the Editor
OCR Text

I hope this letter finds both you and AGENDA in good health. My name is James Daniel Armstrong and I am an inmate at the Federal Correctional Institution in Oxford, Wisconsin.

I am working at 22 cents an hour for the Electronic Cable division of Unicor, a prison industry here, which is contracted by the Department of Defense to make electronic cables for tanks, jet aircraft and other war machines.

As you might imagine, I am none too happy having to work for this aspect of the Military Industrial Complex. I consider it a form of indentured servitude because I am forced to pay off a heavy court fine. Nevertheless I realize the situation l'm in and where l'm at - in federal prison. The most I can do is hope to re-educate myself, so that never again will I or anyone close to me fall for the lies our government has given us. In doing so I need all the help I can get!

I have heard many good things about AGENDA and I am glad there are still journals like yours in publication. I hope your publication continues to have much success.
