Yesterday I had a wonderful visit with Marc. Our visits are almost always positive and enjoyable, save for a few times when the stress of the situation made one or both of us sensitive and emotional. Prison is a very difficult place to be, and Marc remains as positive as he can. Seeing each other is the highlight of our lives and keeps us both going.

On Friday, September 10th, my husband Marc Emery was sentenced to five years in US federal prison for selling cannabis seeds through the mail to Americans from Canada. Marc had agreed to a five-year sentence in his plea deal, knowing that going to trial would result in 30 years to life behind bars.

Dearest Jodie: I so loved our two visits this weekend. And what a momentous weekend it was! We got the sentencing done, and it went as we expected, and my application to be transferred back into the Canadian corrections system was delivered to the Canadian Consulate in Seattle. It will be on the Minister of Public Safety Vic Toews’ desk late next week. The Marc Emery Support Day comes at just the right time this Saturday, September 18.
