Biography
Mike Miksich signed a prison letter from San Quentin published in Labor Defender in February 1931. The magazine introduced him as serving an imposed term of ten years to life.
On printed page 37, Labor Defender introduces a signed letter by Mike Miksich from San Quentin, California, as written by a prisoner serving ten years to life. Miksich identifies himself as a class-war prisoner and reports that authorities barred the Communist paper Radnik, stopped eight newspapers previously received by prisoners, and destroyed books sent to them. These are his firsthand allegations about prison reading restrictions. The imposed term is not a measured period actually served. The reviewed page does not establish the underlying charge, arrest, admission, sentencing or release date, birth date, or complete custody duration.
