- Email a written comment to Kathleen Richard kathleen.richard@state.ma.us by 5 PM on 1/29/21.
- Tell the DOC: Stop reading, photocopying, and confiscating incoming mail, and stop violating incarcerated people’s right to privacy and attorney-client confidentiality!
- MA prisons are proposing to photocopy all incoming mail, including legal documents, and destroy the originals. This violates incarcerated people’s privacy and further isolates them from their loved ones outside.
