Here's what I've written about Mumia so far:
In November, I was down in Greene County, PA where Mumia/Wesley is imprisoned.
I saw the prison from a nearby hill. The place from a distance looks like a cluster of California style mission buildings of that hard to describe southwestern color. Not a threatening looking place from the outside. It could be mistaken for a community college.
A friend of mine who is a local newspaper reporter, tells me that he gets faxes from international celeberities about an hour before they are going to visit with Mumia. These visits are big news in this very rural part of Pennsylvania. And he gives these celeberities their 15 minutes in the local newspaper.
