News About Political Prisoner Judy Clark

In the last issue of OOT, we profiled the lesbian political prisoners. Judy Clark was left out by mistake.

Judy is a north american political prisoner. She is currently serving a 75 years to life sentence for her participation in the 1981 attempted robbery of a Brink's truck in New York by the Revolutionary Task Force. Three people were killed. Her political activism began as a teenager, involved in the civil rights movement in new york city. She was a member of the Students for a Democratic Society and an activist against the war in Vietnam and against racism.

Judy is currently incarcerated in the state correctional institution in Bedford Hills NY. Since she first entered prison, she has been working with ACE (AIDS Counseling and Education), a program she helped create. Ace has been a model program for other prisoners trying to deal with the rising incidence of AIDS inside. Judy has also been taking college classes to get a degree. She has a 15 year old daughter who visits often.
