Sinclair In The Hole

JACKSON, Mich. — John Sinclair, noted dopeo-revolutionary and former rock whiz, has been thrown into the “hole” at Southern Michigan Prison here, allegedly for masterminding a strike which did not begin until he had already been separated from the prison population for a week.

John, now Chairman of the Central Committee of the White Panther Party, was transferred to solitary confinement on Tuesday, November tenth, though word of this did not reach the general public till over a week later. On that Friday, he went before the Jackson trial board, charged with the heinous crime of “typing radical literature on his typewriter.” In the course of the board hearing, according to WPP National Chief of Staff and John’s brother, David Sinclair, the pigs accused Sinclair of “masterminding all subversive (italics ours) activity in the prison system”, supposedly including not only Jackson but also Marquette where the famed psychedelic gangster was incarcerated until recently. (John had originally been sent to Marquette because of allegedly inspiring similar unspecified acts.)
