The decision to not allow friends to visit Dan in the Macquarie Correctional Centre has been overturned thanks to those who wrote to NSW Corrective Services and the ABC Story.

Dan and Saffrine have neither received an apology nor an explanation as to why the decision was made in the first place. The decision to ban friends from visiting caused major additional distress to an already distraught community of Dan’s family, friends and to Dan himself.

Despite this small bit of good news, we are constantly mindful of the days passing by with Dan still locked up. Another missed milestone over the weekend, Saffrine and Dan’s anniversary. One more special calendar date that Dan was unable to celebrate with his loved ones. It’s time for Dan to come home.

Dan’s treatment in NSW prisons over the past 998 days has been traumatic. Shackled, placed in a dry cell, 19 months in solitary confinement, locked in maximum security with convicted criminals, restricted visitation and continued incarceration as a result of the incredibly weak and error ridden US indictment - who is pulling the strings? 

Gearing up for the Federal Court challenge next month, Saffrine and her lawyers are focused and determined to have Dan freed and to bring him home. At the same time, Saffrine continues the daily care of their children and home life, battling to have her confiscated home released by the US Government, enduring ongoing vandalism and break ins of her confiscated home, multiple lawyer fees and the constant flow of daily bills.
