Abstract:
Bill’s Tanzanian attorney flies to Maswa with the bail notice but finds that Bill has been moved to Butimba Prison in Mwanza, where medical support is good, and so the request for bail is withdrawn. Peace Corps assistant general counsel Anthony (Tony) Essaye arrives from Washington, D.C., and directs planning of the next steps in the case. Butimba Prison offers quite reasonable facilities, although Bill is later moved temporarily to a prison near Maswa with less-accommodating facilities. Fellow volunteers visit Bill in prison and describe the conditions. Dr. McHugh and an American priest visit Bill in prison and come away quite concerned about his mental health. Paul Sack sends a letter to Peace Corps volunteers describing the prison conditions.
