I called and the man who answered the telephone didn’t know who I was talking about. Another man came to the phone and he could not believe that I thought this man was a hero to the free world.
Oh Lawdy, how monstrously, crushingly depressing.
"sigh"
It could well be that you're the first who thought to call re this issue (FReepers are usually on the cutting edge of things), but I'm guessing that as time wears on and this story gets more circulation, they will be inundated and everyone there will be fully aware of who this guy is.
Also, it's possible that the posted phone number is routed to a 'call center' at a different location than the actual prison.
Thanks for calling though....they obviously are in dire need of more sentiment such as what you expressed.
LOL
