In October, my editor handed me an envelope addressed to Seven Days' post office box bearing the official Department of Corrections stamp indicating that it was inmate correspondence. Inside was a three-page letter written with purple ink and perfect penmanship. Its author, Mandy Conte, told a harrowing tale about the women's prison in which she was lodged, the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. One officer at the South Burlington prison, she wrote, had sexually assaulted her former cellmate, Megan Webbley. Another officer, just days earlier, had been dismissed from his post for sexual misconduct. "It causes me great concern that these are the men in a position of authority and control of the women incarcerated at CRCF," she wrote.
