Subject: Research help on incarcerated c.o.'s
I am a writer. I need information about how Vietnam conscientious
objectors or draft resisters who went to prison were
treated. Specifically, I am interested in how were they classified within
the Bureau of Prisons, what if any special problems they encountered within
the prison population, what their continuing contact with the peace
movement was during incarceration, how they viewed the experience after it
was finished. I am also interested in background information like
descriptions of the facilities, food, work, visiting restrictions, phone
and mail privileges.
If you have personal experiences, can refer me to someone who does
have personal experience, or can refer me to any books on the subject, I
would be grateful. Please respond to me personally. Thank you.
