"I wrote yesterday that the jailed climate activist Tim DeChristopher, who&amp;apos;s serving a two-year sentence in the Herlong prison in California, had recently been moved to  &amp;quot;isolated confinement&amp;quot; at the behest of an unidentified  congressman.&amp;#xA0; Soon after the post went live, Herlong, the Bureau of Prisons in Washington D.C. and members of Congress were flooded with thousands of calls protesting DeChristopher&amp;apos;s treatment.&amp;#xA0; As a result, last night he was moved out of isolated confinement and back to the minimum security camp where he&amp;apos;s serving out his (outrageously disproportionate) sentence.&amp;#xA0; &amp;quot;I got a call from him this morning,&amp;quot; says Dylan Schneider at Peaceful Uprising, the climate group co-founded by DeChristopher.&amp;#xA0; &amp;quot;He was extremely happy.&amp;quot;&amp;#xA0; DeChristopher&amp;apos;s lawyer, Patrick Shea, credits Rolling Stone with drawing attention to the story and helping to build public pressure for his release. &amp;quot;Rolling Stone got him out,&amp;quot; he told me.&amp;#xA0; Schneider cautions that this is not the end of the story, though: &amp;quot;There needs to be an investigation into how a call from a congressman got Tim thrown in isolation and what that says about the American justice system,&amp;quot; he said this morning. &amp;quot; What would have happened to Tim if no one was watching?&amp;quot;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
