Dec 7th, National Letter Writing Day

December 7th is National Letter Writing Day, a day to engage in and celebrate the lost art of letter writing.  While conceived of as a lighthearted holiday to inspire people to put pen to paper rather than fingers to keyboard, this day has a more serious meaning for JHA and our constituents. For the more than two million people incarcerated in the United States, 39,000 of whom are in prisons run by the state of Illinois, writing and receiving letters isn’t an art; it is a lifeline.
