UPDATE: Just heard on FOX News that as another poster claimed the letters were intercepted by a prison official and never reached the criminal who they were intended for. The teacher is, reportedly, not cooperating.
Just found this link:
"The inmate, identified as John Coccarelli, was incarcerated on convictions in Nassau County for violating an order of protection and illegally possessing a loaded firearm. In 2008, he was charged with a felony count of possessing an obscene sexual performance of a child. He was not convicted on the charge."
"PS 143's principal, Sheila Gorski, filed a complaint against Dean when she learned of the incident from correctional facility authorities, who received the package of cards and deemed them inappropriate for Coccarelli to possess."
