Santa Clara County Department of Correction

If you would like to send Petey a money order for his
books, just include it in the letter you send him. The
jail will take it out when they open the mail, but Petey will get a little pink slip telling him that money was added to his books. Money orders should be made out to S.C.C.D.O.C. and should have Petey's name
and booking/PFN# on the bottom left corner.

Background of their case:
Matt Whyte and Peter Schnell were arrested in January of 2001 in Capitola, CA (near Santa Cruz) in possession of components for incendiary devices.
Federal charges were filed a few days after their arrest, and state charges were dropped. Matt was held for around a month, and Petey for about two
months, before being released on bond. Matt and Petey accepted a plea bargain in federal court in October 2001, pleading guilty to one of the two
federal charges.
