> > fourteen. Literature was passed out to
> > interested people passing by and exiting the
> > Polunsky Unit. A representative of an area
> > newspaper took press packets and took many
> > pictures . We had a film crew there from
> > France who is working on a TV documentary
> > on Anti Death Penaty Activism In Texas.

> > A Perimeter Patrol person came out and told
> > us we couldn't stand on the prison side of
> > the road, although the county easement is
> > certainly public property. When we pointed
> > that out. However, he said he was told to
> > tell us that. Some of us remained on that
> > side of the road. A Sheriff patrol car came
> > by, and told us they had received a report
> > that there were people blocking the road.
> > As he could see we were not, he remained
