A Visit With Jonathan Pollard by Charley J. Levine
America's best-known Jewish prisoner has passed the 20-year mark of his life term for giving classified information to Israel. Fervently supported by some, vilified by others, Jonathan Jay Pollard, the 50-year-old former United States Navy intelligence officer, is largely ignored by most American Jews. Though his sentence recommends against parole, he prays for his release. In this exclusive interview, he talks about his case and refers to the federal prison in Butner, North Carolina, as his "gated community."
