How can the British public help?
The ways in which the British public can help are unlimited. Let's take two different levels: First, there's the death penalty. Now, everybody has a talent that they can use in one way or another. If you're young and you're keen and you don't want to spend the rest of your life wasting it working for some corporation, then you can come and talk to us about how we can create a career doing this. That takes work on the parts of the people who want to do it, but you've got lots of energy, you've got the rest of your life to do it for. So you should spend a lot of time dealing with that, and perhaps go on one of our internships to the U.S. to see what it's all about, and go from there. There are much smaller things that people are modest about, but they're very important. Making friends with the people on death row is desperately important. There are 5000 people in Britain who write to folk on death row, as a result in a large part of a documentary the BBC made many years ago called "14 Days in May," which inspired a lot of folk. Now that's great if you are a poor person on death row like Johnny Mack Westbrook, who I probably saw for the first time in Georgia in 1981. He had not seen someone from outside the prison for six years I think. I was the first person to go see him, and for him to get contact from the outside world, that was great. Now when it comes to Guantanamo and the secret prisons, again, there are unlimited things you can do. One of them, just to give you one of one of the many little ideas, we like to use the orange uniform as our motif, because that's what the prisoners in Gitmo wear, and on death row. And I want to have a competition for the silliest photograph using that uniform. I want you to get that uniform onto Nelson, up on Nelson's column. Take a picture of something like that, you can dub it up. Even with little things like gardening. We created a campaign for the prisoners in Gitmo. The Geneva Conventions say you have the right to a garden if you're a prisoner, so we got the British people sending seeds and gardening advice to the prisoners in Guantanamo. We then dropped all of that on Donald Rumsfeld, saying if they really do have the Geneva Convention rights, let them have a garden. We won! Fantastic victory! Not exactly going to secure the release of the prisoners, but if we can just get it onto "Gardener's World," then that means there's more people that care about human rights than the state of our plants. So there's no limit. There is also no excuse for not taking part.
