  Prison Life

On February 3, 2009, Daniel was moved back to his designated facility in Marion, Illinois. He is in the Communication Management Unit (CMU), a unit created to heavily monitor communications of its prisoners, and will be serving the rest of his time here. We truly hope that his time passes as quickly as possible here. Read more about the CMU here.
