Detained friends find themselves isolated from all contact with family and friends. Someone to write and correspond with can make a big difference.
If you can’t visit a detained friend at the detention centers, you can reduce their isolation by writing to them regularly, helping to accomplish many of the same ends as face-to-face visits. We especially need people who can correspond in Spanish.
