'REACH OUT TO OUR SISTERS IN PRISON

The recent conviction of Kathy Thomas raises concern for all women like Kathy who are currently in jail, whether for justifiable reasons or not. We women on the outside of America's prisons can perhaps, through cases like Kathy's, begin to understand how white and/or middle-class privilege allows women to overstep societal boundaries in ways that poor and third world women often cannot. It is important that we remember those women in prison.

In Marysville, where Kathy Thomas is currently being held, women inmates are paid 8 cents an hour for work, which adds up to about $12.00 a month, $6.00 of which is automatically held until their release. Women in county jails usually have no opportunity to earn money. Women in prison need money for even the little things like writing paper, toothpaste, stamps, pen, kleenex, and cigarettes. Don't forget them just because they are no longer in the news. You can contribute money which will be sent directly to poor women in prison by sending it

Last April WSW ran an article about a lesbian mother who was trying to gain custody of her children. In June, after one postponement and four days of testimony, custody of Judy Gregory's two children, Paul and Ben, was granted to her ex-husband. Cuyahoga County Comon Pleas Judge Patrick Gallagher, although granting Judy liberal visitation rights and a fair property settlement in her divorce, could not bring himself to grant a lesbian mother the right to custody of her children.

Throughout the court proceedings, Judy had many factors in her favor, including an excellent lawyer, Fran Bruening, expert testimony by a psycho. logist confirming Judy's ability to mother her children, and Judy's own sincerity and love for her children. The American Psychological Association has adopted a policy that a parent's sexual orientation "should not be the sole or primary variable considered" in disputes over child custody. It was obvious, however, that this was the deciding factor in Judy's case.

The deadline for the October issue is Friday, September 1, 1978.
