CeCe can- and would love to!- receive books in jail. All books need to be new paperback copies sent directly from a publisher or an online bookstore.  She can also receive newspaper and magazine subscriptions.

CeCe is very interested in drawing, music, fashion, dance, and pop culture.  Please keep her interests in mind when sending her reading materials.  The following is a list of items she would like to read. Please email mpls4cece@gmail.com if you send her a book or magazine  so we can avoid sending duplicates.

• Runway Uncovered by Ester Vilaseca
• Transgender Liberation: A Movement Whose Time Has Come by Leslie Feinberg
• Transgender Warriors: Making History from Joan of Arc to Dennis Rodman by Leslie Feinberg
• Trans Liberation: Beyond Pink or Blue by Leslie Feinberg

Books and other printed materials  can be sent to:

Public Safety Facility
Chrishaun Reed McDonald #2012000296 
401 South 4th Avenue
Suite 100
Minneapolis, MN 55415

Books and magazines must be addressed using CeCe’s full information above, including the inmate number. The Bureau of Prisons website notes that publications should not be “detrimental to the security, discipline, or good order of the institution, or facilitate criminal activity” so use your best judgement about what you send into the jail.

I don’t know what to do to best support CeCe right now, but one of my first thoughts is that we can’t let her be forgotten after her sentencing and during her incarceration. She will need our support throughout, and this seems one way to provide it. (I would probably be careful about sending the books on the above list, as right now there’s probably a high chance for several duplicates being ordered at once.)
