After nearly 10 years at the federal prison in Ft. Worth, Texas, longtime “Green Scare” defendant, trans prisoner and Earth First!er Marius Mason has finally been transferred to a facility closer to family and friends. As of the week of March 25, Marius is now at FCI Danbury in Connecticut. He had requested this move, but it was not clear if that request would be granted until he was actually in the new location. Danbury is classified as an FSL, or Federal Satellite Low Security, which is just a step up from a camp.
Marius’ transfer to Connecticut means he will be hundreds of miles closer to his children, volunteer attorney, and lifelong friends. We are hopeful that this move will allow for approved visitors to visit him more often. Currently, he’s been getting an average of 2 or 3 visits a year, because of the overwhelming time and money involved in travel to Carswell in Ft. Worth.
At this date, Marius is just getting his bearings, and trying to figure out the new schedule, culture, and systems at Danbury. He could use a reminder that he is not alone in this major transition. Please consider writing him a letter of support in the short term.
So far, we do not know if FCI Danbury will accept Marius’ chosen name on envelopes. For the time being, please address the envelope to “Marie (Marius) Mason” or “M. Mason” while the actual letter inside should be written to Marius.

More updates will be posted once Marius has more information and answers. Please check back on his website, twitter, and facebook Thank you all for your continued support!
