Anne Pollard During Furlough:
Feds Are Trying To Break. Me
nne Henderson Pol-
lard looks like a
famine victim dressed
up to meet the press. Her
thick purple dress, gold
jewelry and fancy new hairdo
don't hide the painfully thin
arms, the protruding wrist
and shoulder bones or the
adam's apple that stands out
too far.
Pollard, serving a five-year
sentence in relation to aiding
her husband, convicted spy
Jonathan Pollard, says she
weighed 165 pounds before
the ordeal of the last four
years began. She now weighs
85 pounds. She claims she
lost the weight because her
digestive disorder, intestinal
dyskinesia, has been un-
treated — or at best mis-
treated — since she has been
in jail. She says she also has
gynecological and nerve prob-
lems. She stands bent at a 30
degree angle and after eating,
she sits almost doubled over,
her arms folded across her ab-
domen. Her stomach, she
says, hurts all the time.
"I haven't had proper med-
ical care in three years," she
claims. When she lived in
Washington, D.C., she says,
she would fly to Chicago to
see medical specialists. She
says prison officials have not
allowed her to see outside
medical doctors and that she
had to sign a statement prom-
ising she would not see a
physician before she was
allowed her 12-day furlough
last week.
If her body is frail, her mind
is razor-sharp. She had had 10
years of professional public
relations experience — in-
cluding four years at the Na-
tional Rifle Association —
under her belt before being
incarcerated three years ago.
She is personable, even funny
at times despite her ordeal.
She is articulate, expressive
and lively. Her voice is soft
but deep and somewhat
hoarse. Her face is covered
with light freckles and her
hair is dyed red. It had turned
prematurely grey, she says,
after she was incarcerated.
She evades some questions
like a seasoned politician but
at the same time seems to feel
the press can be part of her
salvation.
• She regrets not having
spoken up sooner. "I do PR for
a living," she says. "I believe
very strongly in the power of
the press. At first I was advis-
ed to keep quiet and not say
Pollard: injustice, mistreatment, brainwashing.
anything. It was the worst ad-
vice in the world. From now
on, I'll stick to my gut in-
stincts."
She speaks of injustice,
mistreatment, even of brain-
washing. She says she is
forced to suffer things — like
having someone watch her
when she goes to the bath-
room, having to log all her
telephone calls, being shack-
led at the hands, feet and
waist — that other prisoners
don't. Pollard says prison of-
ficials tell her they do not
make decisions about her
treatment and that the orders
concerning her come from
Washington.
When asked why she feels
this is happening, she says,
"You tell me. I implore the
media to find out who is do-
ing this and why."
Despite her allegations of
mistreatment, Pollard says
she has never been physical-
ly or sexually abused in
prison. She has made friends
with fellow inmates, most of
whom, she says, are in on
drug-related charges. "The
inmates have been wonderful
to me. Some have said, 'You
do the hardest time of anyone
I've seen.."'
Pollard spoke to The Detroit
Jewish News on the sixth day
of her furlough — her first in
three years. She was having
dinner at the elegant
Manhattan home of a sup-
porter along with her father,
Bernard Henderson, and
Philip Landa, the intense ex=
ecutive director of Justice for
the Pollards. She was given
the furlough for the High
Holidays, Landa says, only
because of pressure on prison
officials from members of
Congress.
Going from prison to a
whirlwind of press con-
ferences — meetings with
supporters, Jewish leaders
and rabbis and being free on
the streets of New York has,
she says, left her in culture
shock. She is elated, but
fatigued, excited because she
spoke with her husband,
Jonathan Pollard, earlier in
the day. "I'm so happy," she
says. "We haven't had this
much communication in
years."
Born to a Jewish mother
and a non-Jewish father,
Pollard says she has always
considered herself Jewish.
She met Jonathan at the
University of Maryland when
she was 20. She has spent
three of her 29 years behind
bars, charged and convicted of
being an accessory after the
fact to her husband's posses-
sion of classified documents.
"No one understands this
charge because no one's ever
been charged with it before,"
her father says. Everyone who
works with secret documents
takes them home occasional-
ly, even though it is against
the law, he claims. Pollard
adds, "This means I'm being
charged for living with my
husband."
Jonathan Pollard sits in
solitary confinement in
Marion, Illinois, serving a life
sentence without parole after
being convicted of spying for
Israel. Anne is eligible for
parole in six months. What is
on her mind as she awaits her
freedom?
