The Ulbricht family should put a way to donate into Ross's Comissary fund on the web site after he gets assigned to a prison. I would pay into that shit like daily. Found it.
ROSS ULBRICHT Comissary : Go to www.westernunion.com. Click "Sending money to an inmate." The facility choice is Federal Bureau of Prisons. Send to Ross Ulbricht, #18870-111 in the required format. Note: often we have to just call this in, as the website doesn't work consistently.
umm in America they use $$$
Pretty sure there is a cap on monthly commissary purchase in dollar amount and a limit to the amount they get in their cell.
Prisons control commissary regularly as it is used as currency in prison. Alternative currency systems should not be unknown to Mr. Ulbricht...LOL!
SO say $200-400 a month? He can max that out and constantly horde as much as possible and trade the rest away for future services and goods. Protection and things like extra phone calls can be bought with coffee and candy all day everyday.
EDIT: so $2400 may max out his commissary fund for a whole year, COME ON DIG DEEP PEOPLE! A few bitcoin sent to his folks with a message "for Ross' commissary, thanks for the lolz!"
It is a good start now we just need a way to write him anonymously and send books. Life is going to be a long term for that boy :(
