Donate to Marius’ Support Fund
Please donate to Mason’s support fund! All donations made through this website are used for Marius’ support.
Donations help Marius pay for postage and telephone and video calls home, art supplies, magazine subscriptions, books, and other materials. In order to maintain his health, Marius must buy additional food from the prison commissary, these are the primary expenses. Marius’ attorneys – even though they work pro bono – have expenses as well. Visitors, including his children, friends, and supporters must fly to Connecticut to see him where they have rent a car and stay in a hotel near the prison.
Donations by Venmo are made through our friends at Fifth Estate (@Fifth-Estate)
Please include a comment noting your donation is for Marius
Checks or money orders should be made out to Julie Herrada or Peter Werbe: put “Marius Mason” on the subject line.

Letters
Letters are his main connection to the outside world, and as people become more digitally focused and less familiar with writing letters, letters have dropped off, contributing to his isolation. Marius is unlikely to write back due to limitations on his end, but he always appreciates connection to the outside world.
As of May 6, 2025 his letters have started getting returned when they are addressed to Marius, so please go back to this until further notice.

Letters are one of the only ways Marius can connect to the outside world. He loves to hear about people’s projects, what they’re reading, sensory information, animals, daily life, political thoughts. Even brief postcards, especially if they are sent regularly, help him feel connected. You can also send in printed out copies of articles, which helps him keep up to date on the world.
Marius has a list of 100 pre-approved people he can write to; this means he will be able to receive your letter but until your name is added to his list he cannot write back. Marius can request people to be added/removed but this takes time and is not always granted.
