Colin Jackson, Sherry's husband, finally heard from Sherry last night, the last contact having been on December 17. That is 20 days with no contact!
Sherry was moved to the Talahassee prison last month, after prison officials accused her of "contacting the media", which is "against the rules". However, Sherry did NOT contact the media. In fact, it was her friends and supporters (including myself) who contacted the media.

Information is sketchy at this point, but here's what Sherry told Colin: She has been placed in solitary confinement. She is allowed only three (3) showers a week, and only one phone call a week. She is handcuffed each time she leaves the cell, for any reason, including the showers.
We still don't know the state of her health.

I have been working with Colin and other supporters to try to get some legal representation for Sherry Jackson. She needs a lawyer, licensed in the Florida Bar, even if only as co-counsel for another attorney (from any state) willing to take Sherry's case. Someone with legal authority needs to get into that prison, find out exactly what is going on, and help Sherry!
So far, we have found no one willing and able to help. We will keep trying, and I pray that some attorney, somewhere, who is compassionate and interested in Justice, will come forward.
We are also working on getting more media attention for Sherry's plight. Colin recently was a guest on Michael Herzog's program, the American Awakening (Oracle Broadcasting); and more radio appearances are being set up.
Once again, I implore talk show hosts to schedule a program addressing Sherry's case and/or an interview with her husband, Colin Jackson.
Sherry has been wrongfully imprisoned since February, 2008. Her health has suffered, and now she is in solitary confinement --once again, punished for a "crime" she did not commit.
Sherry's life may be in danger. All of us who are still free and have the wherewithal to take action must do all in our power to stop this from getting any worse.
We need to keep this case as public as possible! We need the authorities to know that we are watching, that we are witnesses, and that we care about Sherry Jackson, about human rights, and about justice!
Please help, in any way you can. And see the other reports and updates on this site for more information.
Thank you for your consideration.

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — It had been weeks since anyone had heard from Sherry P. Jackson, the former IRS agent who studied federal income tax history and law, and transformed into an outspoken anti-income tax activist. But under the federal government’s relatively new “tax-defier” program, she was essentially convicted and imprisoned for her beliefs, her supporters believe.
Sherry’s last known contact with family from prison had been Dec.17, 2009. The 47-year-old mother of two said that she had experienced strange health problems in prison before contact was lost; therefore her husband of 22 years, Colin, was especially concerned for Sherry when he hadn’t heard from her.
But Colin was happy to inform this reporter that he finally heard from Sherry on the evening of Jan. 6. During the holidays the well-known words “silent night” took on a whole new meaning for Colin.
“The cruelty of this type of activity to Sherry and her family, especially at Christmastime, [was] beyond comprehension and despicable,” a friend recently wrote in a letter to AMERICAN FREE PRESS during the holiday “freeze” on Sherry’s phone calls.
Meanwhile, Sherry was moved from the Coleman, Fla. prison to another federal pen near Tallahassee, the capital of Florida.
Colin understands that federal officials moved her because she “may” have contacted the press, which could violate a gag order in terms of media. But observers close to her maintain she did not contact the press.
Sherry Jackson, whose inmate number is 59085-019, is now at the Federal Correction Institution (FCI) in Tallahassee. Her projected release is Aug. 8, 2011. Tune in to RBN on Saturday learn much more.
