Jordan Halliday is an animal rights activist.
He was indicted by a federal grand jury in 2009 on charges related to resisting a federal grand jury investigating local illegal animal rights activities, mainly concerning fur farm raids in Utah.
He was jailed for nearly four months under a contempt of court order to compel him to testify.
He was later released and indicted on criminal contempt of court. He pled guilty to “Criminal Contempt of Court” on July 27th, 2010. The charge is a unique one in that it is sui generis, meaning it is neither a felony nor a misdemeanor. He was sentenced on November 3rd, 2010 to 10 months in prison with 3 years of probation upon release.
He filed an appeal with the 10th circuit court which was denied.
He started his 10 month sentence on January 10th, 2012.

General prison mail rules:
No writing in marker, no glitter, stamps, stickers, staples, paper clips, etc.
This jail only accepts cards and letters – don’t put anything extra in an envelope (no stamps, pictures, etc). Always include your return address on the outside of the envelope as well as on the letter itself (Jordan may not get the envelope).
Postcards: Write small but DO include your return address somewhere on it. Mail may be rejected without a return address.
Don’t talk about anything illegal. Don’t talk about Jordan’s case. Everything you write to Jordan is going to be read and scanned in by jail officials – he *can* get penalized for unsolicited things that people write to him so be smart.
Please do write. He needs to know we’re out here for him. Tell him you believe in him, make sure he knows you care.
Also remember you can write to xwritejordanx@gmail.com and we’ll make it get to him.
