Thank you so much for signing the petition to reverse a Ministry of Justice ban on family and friends sending books and essentials to prisoners. You may have seen that a host of authors have written to the Daily Telegraph, urging the Lord Chancellor and Secretary of State for Justice, Chris Grayling, to reconsider the Prison Service Instruction. You can see the list of eminent writers by visiting http://www.howardleague.org/letter-to-the-telegraph/ The response from the public has been overwhelming, and we need to keep the momentum. You have already taken the first step by signing the petition, but you can do even more. The Howard League for Penal Reform is asking supporters to tweet a 'Shelfie' picture to @MoJGovUK, using the hashtags #booksforprisoners and #shelfie. A 'Shelfie' is a picture of your bookshelf and represents the books that you would like to be able to send to prisoners. If you don’t use Twitter, you can email your picture to [email protected] . An example of the tweet to go with your picture would read: .@MoJGovUK Here’s my shelfie for prisoners! @TheHowardLeague #booksforprisoners #shelfie With your help, we can make a real difference and we will be fighting for as long as it takes This message was sent by Mary Sweeney using the Change.org system. You received this email because you signed a petition started by Mary Sweeney on Change.org: "Rt. Hon. Chris Grayling MP: Please urgently review and amend your new rules which restrict prisoners access to books and family items, in particular from children. Rules which are inconsistently applied in any event.." Change.org does not endorse contents of this message.
