Last April [2012], Brian Terrell was arrested for trespassing while protesting the US drone program at Whiteman Air Force Base in Missouri. He must report to a South Dakota federal prison to serve six months for the misdemeanor.
Novenber 14, 2012 – I just got word from the US Bureau of Prisons via Catholic Worker-attorney Ruth O’Neill that the institution that I am to report to by 2 PM on November 30 [2012] is the prison camp at Yankton, South Dakota. Yankton is one of the closest federal prisons to our home in Iowa and home to Emmaus CW House, a Benedictine Monastery and many good friends. My address from November 30 until the end of May, 2013, will be:
BRIAN TERRELL 06125-026

FEDERAL PRISON CAMP
P.O. BOX 700
YANKTON, SD 57078
