Announcement

Dear David Guard:

Is there an event coming up in your community where you'd like to distribute literature about the need to reform our nation's disastrous marijuana laws?

MPP's "Marijuana Policy Monitor" makes for a great giveaway at conferences, concerts, festivals, and other events.

This four-page newspaper, printed on newsprint, contains a comprehensive overview of marijuana prohibition — and why it should be brought to an end. It includes information on the victims of the government's war on marijuana users, taxing and regulating marijuana like alcohol, and safe access to medical marijuana for patients. You can find more information and view a copy here.

To place an order, contact MPP's Membership Department at [email protected] or (202) 462-5747, ext. 2015. Payment by credit card (American Express, Discover, MasterCard, or Visa) is preferred, but we can also accept checks or money orders through the mail. Copies are 3 cents each, and a minimum order of 1,000 copies (or $30) is required. The price includes shipping and handling.

Orders are shipped one a week from our fulfillment center in Maryland, so please allow time for delivery.

I hope you'll consider distributing MPP's newspaper at your next event and spread the word about the urgent need to reform our nation's marijuana laws.

Thank you, as always, for your support ...

Sincerely,

Rob Kampia
Executive Director
Marijuana Policy Project
Washington, D.C.

P.S. As I've mentioned in previous alerts, a major philanthropist has committed to match the first $3.0 million that MPP can raise from the rest of the planet in 2008. This means that your donation today will be doubled.

In a recent syndicated column ("More Prisons, Less Crime), commentator George Will argues that the world record incarceration rate in the United States has produced safer streets and has been beneficial in particular to African Americans, who are disproportionately victims of crime. Will's selective use of data and limited vision provide an inaccurate portrayal of current criminal justice policy and its effects.

In a briefing paper, The Sentencing Project refutes Will's argument on prison racial disparities, federal crack cocaine sentencing and the impact of incarceration on crime.

Do Prisons Equal Less Crime? provides an assessment of some of the key arguments raised in the Will column. We hope you find this analysis useful in your work.

Dear friends, Good news from Antwerp: Today, Thursday June 26th, 2008, the Belgian Cannabis Social Club Trekt Uw Plant and 5 of its members have been acquitted for the establishment of a cannabis plantation. On July 27th 2006 in the Botanic Gardens of Antwerp, with the permission of the local authorities and the police, we planted a cannabis seed that would become the first mother plant of our club. On December 12th 2006, again in the Botanic Gardens and again with the permission of the local authorities and the police, 6 members of Trekt Uw Plant each cut a clone of this motherplant. The 6 plants formed the first collective cannabis plantation of the association, on the basis of the principle 1 plant for each adult member. The aim of Trekt Uw Plant was to make concrete use of the possibility created by the Belgian legislation to grow cannabis for personal use. In January 2005 a ministerial guideline has been established according to which the possession of max. 3 grammes and 1 cannabisplant is no longer prosecuted. In the establishment of the plantation, Trekt Uw Plant has strictly implemented the rules of the ministerial guideline. In spite of that, the legal authorities decided to prosecute. In the end of October 2006, a member of Trekt Uw Plant was approached by a representative of the Antwerp District Attorney, who warned him for the fact that the planned activities of Trekt Uw Plant could lead to a prison term of max. 5 years. During the courtcase for the local court of Antwerp, on 27 March 2008, District Attorney Lins demanded max. 80 hours of community work for the members of Trekt Uw Plant, as well as the dissolution of the club, which he considered to be a criminal organisation. The Antwerp court finally judged that Trekt Uw Plant is not a criminal organisation, and condemned the members for nothing else than the possession of cannabis. On June 12th 2008, during the courtcase for the court of appeal, the District Attorney announced, in an unexpected move that surprised everyone who followed the case, that he would drop the charges against Trekt Uw Plant because the possession of cannabis is not a crime but an an offense, and too much time has passed since the offense was committed. This sentence has been provoked by the District Attorney himself, when during the first session of the court of appeal on January 24th 2008, when there was still time to condemn the offense, he asked for a delay of 5 months to deal with the case. It has been a trick of the District Attorney in order to cover up his defeat in this case. The charges have been dropped but a debate on the core question - can cultivating cannabis for personal use be prosecuted or not - has been avoided. This sentence implies an acquittance. The District Attorney stops the persecution it has started against us. This is a political message that the ministerial cannabis guideline of 2005, according to which the possession of max. 3 grammes and 1 cannabis plant for personal use is not persecuted, is still valed and can be applied. From this sentence, we conclude that the actions of Trekt Uw Plant fit completely within the ministerial guideline and these actions can be permitted in the future. We now consider the next steps that Trekt Uw Plant will take. New actions will follow in the autumn.

We have a new address but our director Dennis Sobin's legal status remains unchanged. Please note that the new location of the Prisons Foundation is 1600 K Street NW, Suite 501, Washington, DC 20006. It is the same location as our Prison Art Gallery. The move will permit a more streamlined and efficient operation. Meanwhile, the popular outdoor art kiosk and information center of the Prison Art Gallery at G and 7th Streets in Washington, DC will be open seven days a week, 10 am to 10 pm. News About Our Director Despite our insistance on a speedy trial, Dennis Sobin's trial following his arrest for attending public hearings at City Hall (see complete details in our original email below) has been put off until August 5, 2008. This poses a hardship since there are hearings and meetings at City Hall that Dennis is scheduled to attend, including one on a new bill to help ex-prisoners. In the meantime, here are the names and contact information of city hall officials who can transfer the person who falsely instigated the arrest, Dennis's estranged son Darrin Sobin. With such a transfer, Dennis will be able to go to city hall to visit these officials and attend hearings and meetings without fear of further arrest. If you haven't contacted them already, please do so today. They are feeling beleagured due to the many calls and emails they have received, and YOURS could be the turning point.

This is routine for our director as these hearings represent important opportunities to advocate for alternatives to incarceration and the need for prosecutors to focus on serious crimes rather than non-violent offenses. One of those prosecutors happens to be Dennis Sobin's son, Darrin Sobin. He and his father have not seen eye to eye for some time. Last year the younger Sobin, Darrin, flexed his muscle as a government attorney by getting a stay away order to keep his father a set number of feet from him. Now he has gone the next step by having his father arrested for stepping foot in City Hall because Darrin has moved into an office in that building. When Dennis arrived for the hearing, his son knew of his presence because Dennis was on the witness list to testify. Dennis never got to testify because his son had him whisked out of the building in handcuffs and put in jail before a judge could release Dennis. By then the hearing was over. The building security officers who arrested Dennis have acknowledged that they were pressured to take this action by Darrin. They even went so far to try to appease Darrin, short of arresting his father, by offering to accompany Dennis to the City Council Chambers where the hearing was taking place and stay with him throughout his testimony. But Darrin rejected this. Darrin has let it be known that if his father returns to city hall for any reason, the same fate awaits him. It is therefore URGENT that the following officials at city hall be called TODAY to let our outrage be known. Says Dennis, "I don't want my son fired. That would be too extreme and a particular hardship for his children, my grandsons Alexander and Tristan." We are requesting that Darrin Sobin be relocated to the Attorney General's headqurters a few blocks away. That way our director Dennis can conduct Prisons Foundation business at city hall. Here are the names and phone numbers of officials at city hall who can make this happen. Please call them TODAY to get their assurance that this will indeed occur without delay. Even if you are not a resident of Washington you can demand action as a visitor who is shocked that such a thing could happen in the nation's capital. Adrian Fenty, Mayor, 202-724-8876 (This is Adrian's private number so please be brief when talking to him and please do not retain this number for any other purpose.

[Courtesy of Canadian Harm Reduction Network] The Canadian Harm Reduction Network and Canadian AIDS Society Launch a New Report on Harm Reduction in Canada 18 June 2008 The Canadian AIDS Society and the Canadian AIDS Society, in partnership, have launched a new publication entitled "Learning from Each Other: Enhancing Community-Based Harm Reduction Programs and Practices in Canada." The report is the culmination of a 17-month-long study based on the findings of a harm reduction symposium and a series of focus groups, site visits and community walkabouts in nine medium-sized cities across Canada. The study was funded by the federal government's Drug Strategy Community Initiatives Fund. "The recent judgment on the operation of Insite, Vancouver's safe injections site, reminds us that harm reduction services are fundamental healthcare rights and that to deny such services is in effect an infringement of the right to life, liberty and security of the person. Our report shows how Canadian harm reduction programs are vital to our communities through their service to a population that is often marginalized and alienated," says Monique Doolittle-Romas, Executive Director of the Canadian AIDS Society. "These programs are making a valuable difference in people's lives and to society by helping protect the health and well-being of those most in need. They typically do this under the constraints of insufficient or insecure funding." Targeted to health care professionals, outreach workers and service providers working in the field of harm reduction in Canada, the report highlights how various programs were developed and implemented, the challenges encountered and the lessons learned along the way. It also provides in-depth testimony from people with drug-use experience about what works well, what does not, the impact that harm reduction programs and services have on their lives, and what can be done to improve programs. "People who work in harm reduction and people who use drugs told us at various meetings that they don't know what is happening in other cities. The need for information sharing is critical," says Gail Flintoft, Chair of the Board of the Canadian AIDS Society. "We took this project on so that people don't have to recreate the wheel. Sharing this information will enhance harm reduction services by enabling people to learn from each other's experiences." "Service providers and service users alike told us that having information about the 'unknown' harm reduction - what goes on outside the major cities across Canada - would help them save both lives and money, said Walter Cavalieri Director of the Canadian Harm Reduction Network. "Now they have it." The report shows how community and health care organizations prevent harms related to drug use, primarily the transmission of HIV and hepatitis C. It also portrays the holistic underpinnings of the programs which cater to both the basic health and emotional well-being of people who use drugs. Most importantly, the report shows the human side of harm reduction, including the perspectives from the many people harm reduction programs serve, in their own words. It's a celebration of the dedicated harm reduction pioneers and proponents who are working to protect the lives of people who use drugs. Often discussing issues beyond harm reduction, it also provides a compelling glance at societal challenges, including poverty, homelessness and gentrification in urban centres. The report can be accessed, in English and French, on the websites of the Canadian Harm Reduction Network at www.canadianharmreduction.com/project and the Canadian AIDS Society at: www.cdnaids.ca/learning_from_each_other.

In his note below, our director Dennis Sobin expresses gratitude for your support, but also reveals a sad new development. From Dennis Sobin, Director, Prisons Foundation: Thank you so very much for the dozens of phone calls and emails I've received following my arrest at a public hearing in city hall, Washington, DC. They range from a supporter in Hawaii (who is contacting her own congressional representatives as well as Washington city officials to express outrage) to a local NPR radio reporter who is doing a story. The support I've gotten has been good, but it's also produced a bad reaction from government prosecutors. My charge was amended yesterday to include additional counts based on my visits to city hall LAST YEAR to attend and give testimony at other public hearings. My attorney is worried about this stacking. Instead of facing six months in jail, I now face two years. Plus the thinking of the judge may be colored. I am not entitled to a jury trial because these are all misdemeanors. Insisting on my right to a speedy trial, it will take place quickly: Tuesday, June 24, before Judge Jose Lopez in Courtroom 117, DC Superior Court, 500 Indiana Ave NW, Washington, DC 20001. Please feel free to attend to lend your support. In the meantime, here are the names and contact information of city hall officials who can transfer my son Darrin away from city hall so that I can visit these officials before my trial without fear of further arrest.

Yesterday we sent an email letting people know that our Director, Dennis Sobin, had been arrested at a public hearing at city hall in Washington, DC and we asked for your help to prevent a repetition of this grave injustice. Here are some of the many responses we received in the past 24 hours. Note: Below appear a small sampling of the email responses we received, without any changes except to conceal the names of the senders. Their names and contact information will be provided only to members of the press who wish to contact them for interviews and obtain their permission to publish their names. (Already, Washington City Paper has interviewed our director.) We also received a large number of positive phone calls. At the bottom of this page appears the original email we sent with details of the arrest, along with the telephone numbers of Washington city officials who can correct this injustice. As per request, we hereby provide the email addresses for those officials: Adrian Fenty, Mayor [email protected] (Mayor) 202-724-8876 [email protected] (Mayor's advisor) Vincent Gray, City Council Chairperson [email protected] (chief of staff) 202-724-8032 Jack Evans, City Councilmember [email protected] 202-724-8023 Phil Mendelson, Chair of Judciary Committee [email protected] 202-724-8064 ***************************************************************** Below are some of the emails we just received: ***************************************************************** I called everyone on the list. Spoke to Heidi at Mr. Mendelson's office (they said they were "aware but not getting involved") and I reminded her that a larger issue is up in the air here, and that is the right of citizens to have a free and open forum in public buildings (especially when invited!). I told her as a resident of the District I was "shocked" that legal guidelines could be manipulated at CITY HALL of all places to silence an invited guest. Everyone else I left messages for.... if we can get a couple dozen people making these calls it might be enough to generate some buzz, which sometimes translates into support. I'll wait and see if Fenty or anyone else calls me back - but at least the message is getting out! ****************************************************************** hi dennis i got the email this morning about your arrest... holy smoke! i'm so sorry to hear about the bad blood between you and your son, whatever it is (i don't need to know), but i want you to know that i made three phone calls this morning, and also to let you know that i was told that others were calling as well. you're doing great work and for the best reasons, and no doubt there will be many other roadblocks and attempts at deterrents along the way, but that's the way it is with god's work. a pastor of mine once likened the phenomena to those beautiful stones and sea glass that find at the beach... they got that way by being tumbled around in the sand and waves. *********************************************** Hello: I called the 202-724-8023 number listed below and got transferred 4 times before finally talking to someone named HEIDI who listened to what I had to say about calling in support of having Darrin transferred so that Dennis can testify at City Hall , to which she simply replied OK and hung up. I do not know what type of response we are expecting to get, but please be sure to let people know that they can be transferred many times and DO NOT GET DISCOURAGED!!! No one will take your name, number or ask any questions. They listen to why you are calling and then transfer you to someone else, to whom you again have to explain why you are calling. BE PATIENT and PERSISTENT! *************************************************** This is an abuse of office by Darrin Sobin. His direct superior, the attorney general, should be pressured to prevent Darrin from taking any such further action. Exactly how the AG does that is not up to Dennis or the PFO staff to determine. If it means Darrin loses his job, so be it. Let the chips fall where they may. He can find employment elsewhere, where he cannot exercise authority that he cannot handle responsibly. Darrin Sobin is a disgrace to the AG, the citizens he supposedly represents, to his father, and his family. Call it like it is. ***************************************************** Wow! I am so shocked to hear this. The prosecutor (his son) has some serious issues. I feel so bad for Dennis and I will make the calls. Any arrest is devastating, but to have your own son do something like this is almost beyond belief. I hope everything works out. Please keep us updated. ****************************************************** We are arranging to have a staff member reach out to each of the officials named in your communication. If there is anything else that we can do to support you, please do not hesitate to let us know. *********************************************************** I'm with you, Dennis (and your Prison Foundation.) We spoke a few times and had planned to meet, but the powers that be prevented this. I spent a total of 30 years in prison, completing a 20-year sentence just recently in Federal Prison, where I was tortured before being released 6/14/2006. Nine guards were removed from duty for what they did to me, however the Buearu of Prisons quietly placed them back on the job six months later, though the investigation is STILL ONGOING. Stay strong, my brother!!!! We are calling the Mayor's office now!!!!!!!!!!!! ********************************************** I am very shocked that such a thing could happen to such a nice person. I'm sorry that my telephoning ability doesn't allow me to make calls. If you decide to send some sort of an e-mail or letter let me know.

Our Director, Dennis Sobin, has been arrested at a hearing at city hall in Washington, DC. He was released after being in custody for a few hours, but your help is urgently needed to prevent a repetition of this grave injustice. The facts are not in dispute. It didn't happen in some third world country but right in the heart of the capital of the democratic world, Washington, DC. Dennis Sobin, Director of the Prisons Foundation, went to City Hall to testify at a budget hearing on the priorities of the Attorney General's Office. This is routine for our director as these hearings represent important opportunities to advocate for alternatives to incarceration and the need for prosecutors to focus on serious crimes rather than non-violent offenses.
