ADX Tommy Silverstein Death of an Artist?

we will not be seeing anymore of this beautiful art by Tommy Silverstein
Since Tom has started writing his story, the prison, censor and other officials have continuously try to make his life more unbearable. They began taking his art for nefarious reasons. Anything going out of the prison.
Tom will spend a month on a drawing; for a friend or his book; he wanted to include art to express what he can not express always in word.  So far at least 3 pieces have been confiscated and not returned.The most recent, my Christmas present, a month's work, extra postage for receipt; posted Dec 5th 2016 (given to CO who gives it to censor). By January 5th 2017 receipt never came back he sent message to censor for answers. Finally around January 11th "they" came to calm him down and told him my gift had been confiscated(taken) and sent to the FBI. Tom had to really press for answer as to why. All he was told was there were 3 birds in the drawing.

To me the BOPPERS are looking at Tom's art like children look at clouds i.e; 'Look I see a bunny"
What they see is gang related, which there is none.
Tommy has announced to me he will no longer be drawing or creating art, he says "I will not give them the satisfaction"
Here is an excerpt from a recent letter;
I believe that ADX has killed this brilliant artist. My heart breaks for him and all that love his art.
If you are fortunate enough to own any of Tom's art, cherish it.

I am guessing the Feds have a very valuable collection of Tommy Silverstein's stolen art for made up, nefarious reason. Just another way to torture him. Just Much ado about nothing. And now because "they" have tormented him by stealing his art, "they" have killed him.

Before hearing what happened to my gift; I wrote Postmaster General 
(though he has no jurisdiction over prisoner mail) and BOP director Thomas Kane PhD and ADX; I only received response from Postmaster reminding me he has nothing to do with prison mail, he did offer this address to me that they might help. Our mail takes 14 to 30 days to reach each other the address for help is

 The address for the ACLU National Prison Project is 915 15th St NW, Washington, DC  20005-6016 or you can contact the ACLU at (202) 393-493
Tom made his mittens, they are not provided winter coats, glove boots...
Thank you

ADX Forcible cell extraction prisoner gassed Tommy Silverstein effected

If you have been following Tom's fight to get his manuscript out, you'll know is just wrong that ADX is just hiding the atrocities by claiming "security risk. What is at risk is every prisoner's physical and mental health. Tom writes that "the goons forcibly extracted a prisoner from his cell and while its horrible to see and hear the gas floats through the air, in this case Tom vomited for 2 days. He has lung problems anyways is on 3 kinds of inhalers yet he was exposed to the noxious fumes wondering what damage it causes him and others. Below Tom's intake mug shot from 1975 and a recent picture of him. Don't you think it's time to hear his story? Please use addresses posted here to demand Tom's right to tell his story. Whether you like him or not ADX is not above the law. And we can not allow any institution to take away our rights. If you are a prisoner you are still an American citizen with rights. It is a right to write and send out a manuscript cited here. 


 Thank you for reading please join the fight for justice. Tom has been punished for his crimes in isolation 30 years.
