Dearest Jodie: What a sad and wrenching weekend, my dear. On Saturday morning you were so tired and sadly vacant for our visit (because of the terrible start with you being upset by the way a guard was treating me, and the unexpected photos when you were not dressed up or ready for them) that it had me reeling with sadness for the remainder of the day. That was the worst visit we've had.

CANNABIS CULTURE - Seattle Hempfest 2010 was a beautiful sight to see: hundreds of thousands gathered together on the Seattle waterfront to celebrate cannabis and call for an end to the drug war. Take a peek at these CC photo galleries.

CANNABIS CULTURE - Seattle Hempfest 2010 was a massive celebration of marijuana and a (smoke)show of solidarity against disastrous drug policies - and Cannabis Culture was there to capture it on video.

Today I got photos from Marc in prison! They were taken during our visit on July 4th, when inmates can buy photographs of themselves with family. We had to choose one of four painted walls as the backdrop, so we picked the Seattle skyline at night.

Today I was told I would get less time on the computer to send and read emails because there was griping by some of the inmates about my use. Admittedly, it is about 3 hours a day, but I line up like everyone else and there are others that use it even more frequently and for longer times than I. It seems I have aroused some to complain. So my use will be in the early morning, in the afternoon around 4:30 pm, and at night, for less time in total.

Today is Independence Day in America, and as I sit in my hotel room in SeaTac (outside of Seattle, Washington), listening to non-stop explosions and firecrackers going off outside in celebration of "independence" and "freedom", I am saddened to think that one out of every 100 Americans are imprisoned and my Canadian husband Marc Emery is among them.

I went to visit Marc today for the first time at SeaTac FDC. Thankfully, I'm able to visit him even while he’s in SHU (“segregated housing unit”, solitary confinement). When I arrived at 1:30pm, it was very nerve-racking. I stepped up to the massive building's entrance, got buzzed in, then found myself in a big lobby with a reflective glass booth and a little hole to pass ID and paperwork through.
