Rob los Ricos, writer, reviewer and long-term friend of Anarchy…, was released from prison on June 29, 2006, after serving time for hitting a cop with a rock during a protest in Eugene, OR.
Rob stayed busy during his seven-year incarceration, including writing many letters (mail correspondence helped “save his life” he’s said), taking up guitar, running, speech-making, and writing reviews and essays for Green Anarchy, Green Anarchist (U.K.) and Anarchy as well as (with Free Luers – another Anarchist prisoner) pieces that were compiled into a zine called Heartcheck. Rob was one of the prisoners to bring a successful lawsuit against prison authorities for confiscating mail with circle a’s for being “gang-related.” As well, Rob and other folks in Portland, OR, and incarcerated Anarchists around the country, formed the Anarchist Prisoner’s Legal Aid Network to support imprisoned Anarchists.
