Item description from seller

2 pp. On a single sheet of letter size paper, 2 sides, headed Joseph P. Doherty, written in the Tombs [Metropolitan Correction Center] requesting help to overturn Attorney General Richard Thornburgh's decision to ignore the BIA and order Doherty's extradition. A facsimile copy with reproduced signature. Joseph Patrick Doherty was a member of the Irish Republican Army who spent nearly nine years in the NYC's "The Tombs") while fighting his extradition to the U.K. in a case that went to the Supreme Court. Despite public opinion in his favor, fund-raising concerts, the timely release of Nelson Mandela, and John Cardinal O'Connor asking the Bush Administration to grant a hearing for political asylum, he was extradited in 1992. New York City later named a street corner after him.
