STEWART IN TOUCH WITH PRISON FRIENDS

Lifestyle queen MARTHA STEWART has no regrets about her 2004 stint in prison - because she made some "interesting" friends in jail.
The media mogul was jailed for five months in October 2004 after being convicted of lying to federal agents investigating insider trading.
And, during her time at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in West Virginia, Stewart admits she formed a group of pals who she is still in touch with, more than three years after her release in March 2005.
She tells Fortune magazine, "Some of the women who became my friends while I was incarcerated have visited with me. There are some very interesting women there of great value to society, and I keep in contact with them. We have some broken systems in this country - one is the prison system."

It is encouraging to know that Ms Stewart is keeping in touch with the valuable friends she made while incarcerated. It is an understatement to say that the prison system is broken. We can only hope that under the direction of President-elect Obama we WILL see change to the Federal Prison System. I am the wife of a Federal Inmate and the length of time that these folks are being given to serve is outrageous. I am a proud member of FedCURE, an organization consisting of generous people who donate their time to federal reform, including a new good time credit policy and a proposal for the reinstatement of federal parole. I would ask that Ms Stewart visit these fine folks at www.FedCURE.org and join us in a campaign of letter writing to the USSC concerning our efforts on these reforms. Information about this campaign is available at www.FedCURE.org. To have Ms Stewart on board with FedCURE as a spokesperson and parner would help in all of the efforts being made on behalf of federal inmates. Please consider this request!
