[Mr. Muhammad Isma`il Shoushtari, the then head of the National Prisons and Security-Correctiona Measures Organization, in a letter reference number 20/m/3921/281 dated Aban 8,1367 AHS, described the problems and need of the prisoners. Part of the letter to Imam Khomeini reads:" The Imam's order regarding the indispensable expenses of the prisoners should be fulfilled from the fines taken by the Judiciary or the Judicial Council. Meanwhile, light and heavy cars to be confiscated by the Judiciary should be turned over to the Prisons Organization for transportation of the prisoners." Imam Khomeini has given his consent for both cases by writing the following:]
In His Most Exalted Name
I give my consent for both cases; God willing, this work will be done immediately. May God make you successful.
Rouhullah al-Mousawi al-Khomeini
