Scope and Contents

The text is a series of letters regarding the case of General Prisoner Roland Clark, who is currently serving a sentence in prison. The legality of his trial and sentence is questioned, as well as the possibility of parole. The letters discuss the review of his case by the Clemency Board and the recommendation for parole.

The letters request further consideration of the case and potential intervention for Clark's release.
