Please take 5 minutes out of your life to help protest what is happening. Take a postcard or a sealed empty envelope, and write 'HANDS OFF JOHN BOWDEN!' on the back. Address it to: Scottish Prison Service Headquarters, Communications Branch, Room 338, Calton House, 5 Redheughs Rigg, Edinburgh, EH12 9HW. Scotland. Put a stamp on and put it in a post-box. The more cards that are sent the better. This simple act of solidarity could make all the difference to the treatment of a prisoner.
