Jenny is in a cell on her own (because she is a non-smoker) and she is able
to have her books and papers for study. A friend at university is sending her
lecture notes. Jenny has decided not to appeal the outrageous sentence because if
she was released on appeal she might end up going back in at a time even
more disruptive to her studies.

Thank-you to everyone who has sent me letters and cards of support. Your
words keep my spirit strong.
I am sorry if I don’t reply to you all, I have limited access to stamps as
they won’t let me have the ones people send in. The only things I can get
through the post are letters, cards, money and books.
I am doing well in here, I think about how in many countries I would have
been conveniently "disappeared" a long time ago for my beliefs. That is one
of the reasons I feel we all have to speak out, there are many who are
forced to be silent that for us to choose silence would be criminal and
immoral.
I am glad people share my outrage at the disgraceful behaviour shown in
court last week. I’m glad that people are acting on their outrage by
contacting the MSP, MP, MEP and local paper. We should all be raising our
voices at the arrogance displayed by so many individuals within the
criminal justice "system" in their response to our peaceful actions.
I hope my time in here, and the stand myself and others have made in the
name of peace inspires others to overcome their unjustified fear of the
system.
I send my love,respect, strength and hugs to you all out there.
Wishing you all the best.
In peace
Jenny
