About Josh

## About Josh Josh Wolf is a freelance journalist and videographer. He is the Outreach Director for [peralta.TV](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://peralta.tv/) and also teaches SAT preparation for Kaplan. His work has been featured on [MichaelMoore.com](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://michaelmoore.com/) and [IndyMedia](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://www.indybay.org/) and he has written for the [Santa Barbara Independent](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://independent.com/), the [Daily Nexus](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://www.dailynexus.com/), and the [Haight Ashbury Beat](http://web.archive.org/web/20070128020342/http://haightashburybeat.com/). In September 2006, he was forced to return to Federal Prison for his continued refusal turn over his raw footage from a July 2005 protest to a Federal Grand Jury as doing so would violate his journalistic principles. Wolf has repeatedly stated and has signed a declaration under oath that his footage did not capture the alleged crimes being investigate. Experts fear that Wolf is likely to become the longest-jailed journalist in U.S. history. Having exhausted all reasonable appeals, he may remain in prison until July 2005 when the Grand Jury expires. **Write to Josh** Please write letters to Josh while he is in prison and express your support for his courageous and important stand.
