Letter from Sondra in Thai Prison
Recently the King gave "(amnesty) off the sentences of drug cases. I received 5 years + the 4 I’ve done, only 21 more years. The Princess made a visit to the prison. She gave money to build the library, outside is a sign, saying among other "facts" there are 9, 861 books in the library. I counted the English books, 51.Many I donated myself. There were a few more but the library was cleaned up. Many English books were ? We suspect sold. Outside the library is posted a sign with the women who have read the most, out of 50 women; I am the only foreigner at #14. This does not count the books my friends and I share around. 89 books this year. If anyone is going to Thailand and wants to visit Sondra, please go to the US embassy and they will give her a pass to visit her in the Embassy Room at the prison. "There is no waiting, the room is air conditioned and the visits are 1 hour. The other room has 1 1/2 hour wait for 20 minutes and it’s outside for the visitors. Everyone yells and it’s not nice." Thank you all again for sending prayers and thoughts to Sondra. If you want to write her, please do: Sondra Davis, Central Women’s Correctional Inst., 33/3 Ngamwangwan Rd., Lad Yao, Chatajak, Bangkok, Thailand, 10900 (Cost for 1st class letter: $84 cents)
I just received a letter written in July answering my letter of May. It is a slow process. I had sent her a visual meditation wheel and she tells me that she is "working hard on trying not to react to everything that happens, not to take the ups and downs to personally".
