To clarify for people new like me, Ross Ulbricht is serving life in prison for making an anonymous marketplace. Not his clients for selling illegal things. Him for running it with anonymous clients.
As I understand it, they charged him with facilitating illegal drug sales. Plus basically with all of the hypothetical negative consequences that said sales could have produced. Sort of like the drug dealing equivalent of reckless driving.
They also charged him with some murder for hire bullshit, based on entrapment by an undercover cop. But he wasn't convicted on that.
Prison is horrible and destroys your sanity and health. It can be constant trauma. Having words from the outside can be hope.
I'm sure that it is, and that support from others helps. In person, by phone, by mail, ...

This is a method of locating a specific Federal prisoner, if you know his register number:Interestingly, Ulbricht is currently at USP Tucson, where I spent time from about May 2007 until I was released in late December 2009. It is also the location where I came up with my isotopic discovery and many associated inventions. https://www.bop.gov/inmateloc/ | ROSS WILLIAM ULBRICHT | | Register Number: 18870-111 | | Age: | 36 | | Race: | White | | Sex: | Male | | Located at: Tucson USP | | | | | USP Tucson | | | Release Date: LIFE
