Medical Update
UPDATE: Marius’ tooth was pulled last Thursday! He reported that the swelling and constant pain that has been plaguing him for weeks has nearly gone way. He finally feels like he can get back to working on projects that he was unable to concentrate on while in pain.
Thank you so much to everyone who called into Carswell!

Hooray! Marius Is Out of the SHU!
We have good news! Marius was transferred out of the SHU (or Special Housing Unit) on Saturday, August 1st, after nearly a month and a half of solitary confinement.
At this time, we do not know how the alleged violation cited by prison officials as the basis for his punishment will affect Marius in the long term, but we do know that in addition to the time he spent in the SHU, more restrictions have been placed on him that further limit his already limited life in the Administration Unit at the Federal Medical Center Carswell in Fort Worth, Texas.
While we are overjoyed that Marius is out of the terrible and dispiriting world of solitary confinement, we cannot forget where Marius is—prison. The Administration Unit at Carswell is gymnasium-sized, holds up to 20 prisoners, and is frequently and unpredictably locked down for hours on end due to violence and suicide attempts resulting from the claustrophobic and oppressive conditions.
We urge all of you to write Marius a letter or drop a line with a postcard. Your solidarity matters!
