NEW YORK—When Lourdes Figueiredo opened a small set of cupcake boxes bought from a Christmas tree shop months ago, out dropped a piece of paper with the English words, “Made in china prison. I want freedom.”

“I was in shock,” said Figueiredo, a 26-year-old from Yonkers, New York. “At first I thought maybe it was a joke but then after I posted it [on Facebook] I got a lot of feedback saying that it wasn’t the first time something like that has happened.”

In 2013, Julie Keith from Damascus, Oregon found in a box of Halloween decoration a full-page letter by Sun Yi, a prison inmate from the Masanjia Women’s Labor Camp in northeastern China.

“The way I see it, every time a man gets up in the morning he starts his life over. Sure, the bills are there to pay, and the job is there to do, but you don't have to stay in a pattern. You can always start over, saddle a fresh horse and take another trail.” ― Louis L'Amour
