Report Outlines Abuses by California Prison Staff

Reblogged from Prisonmovement's Weblog:

A California parole agent was accused of soliciting one of his parolees
to kill another. Numerous corrections department employees allegedly had
sex with inmates, including juveniles.

And a prison guard was suspected of carousing regularly with prisoners,
even joining them as they drank a form of booze the inmates manufactured
themselves.

The incidents are among 278 cases of alleged employee misconduct…

Thanks for this post. It reminds me of when I was in prison on drug charges at Centinella on the border of Mexico. We had prison guards who told us to stab people on the yard, not in the building. They also told us about a "Child Molester" who was later stabbed on the yard. We bought tobacco cans of buglar from the "free staff" who worked in the kitchen for $100. and cell phones from other "state workers". Oh yeah and when a race/gang war kept us locked down for half the year, some of the guards would pop cells during showers, like the "Gladiator" stuff they mentioned doesn't happen anymore. Still happens. I know a lot and write about it in books now. Dirty little secrets, like hazard pay during those lockdown equals time and a half. Interesting stuff.

Motion denied, Governor: Medical neglect is still killing prisoners

Reblogged from Prisonmovement's Weblog:

Gov. Brown has declared that the prison crisis that allowed prisoners to die is over and that prisoners are receiving good care. His words, not ours.

We know that is a HUGE LIE. CDCR still refuses to acknowledge there is an issue; they refuse to address the real issues...what is it going to take?

I appreciate all the hard work the angel of a lady who runs this website for prison reform. I also appreciate that she has a link to my prison books! God is good. California's prison system is so overcrowded with petty drug users that medical attention and rehabilitation isn't possible. When you pack humans into cages like sardines the equation spits out tattooed down gang members. It isn't a puzzle or a rubix cube.  

Another Great Review for my True Prison Story Prison Riot!

I was not too surprised when I read Glenn’s latest book Prison Riot. I previously reviewed Underdog here !
This book was about what happens after a prison riot. The prison dynamic is a  hard one to follow, and is not for the faint of heart. Being in lock down was horrible. They do not care if they get your name right, or your information right. The main goal is to keep the prison safe. What has to be done to ensure your own personal safety was a little surreal to me. We take for granted how we live, and our freedom. The thing that I took for granted the most was showers. It is a good thing that these prisoners were not afraid of small spaces. I would be terrified. The guards own you, and everything you do. This is a true story, and that made me feel even more for the innocent prisoners that were not involved in the prison riot. I recommend this to crime buffs everywhere so that they can see the other side of law enforcement. I am Giving this book a 5/5, because I am still interested in reading more from this author. Even though I have already read two of his books.

Peaceful Protest to Resume July 8th 2013, If Demands Are Not Met

Reblogged from Prisoner Hunger Strike Solidarity:

ATTENTION: Governor Jerry Brown; CDCR Secretary Jeffrey Beard; and all other parties of interest.

In response to CDCR’s failure to meet our 2011 Five (5) Core Demands, the PBSP-SHU Short Corridor Representatives respectfully present this notice of, and basis for, our indi- vidualized, collectively agreed upon, decision to resume our nonviolent peaceful protest action on July 08, 2013.

The upcoming peaceful protest will be a combined Hunger Strike – Work Stoppage action.

Thanks for putting this out there as it is close to my heart. I was once, one of the countless targets in prison of the overzealous, unconstitutional California Department of Corrections. I've been through the SHU process and was falsely labelled so I know what the 5 core demands stand for better than most. I write friends who are in the Pelican Bay SHU and am being told CDC is lying to them and setting them up for failure no matter what they do. I'm extremely glad that the prisoners have found this united, peaceful path of protest to shed light on their plight.

Prison Gangs

Reblogged from C. BRADFORD LAW FIRM :

In 2005, the U.S. Supreme Court strongly criticized the California's use of segregation of gang members in prison.  It used to be that you were housed in solitary if you refused to assert your gang affiliation, or worse, the prison officials would assume that you were with a specific gang improperly and house you there anyways.  

The very first "gang" to ever appear in the sate system was the Mexican Mafia (La EME) which was created in the Deuel Vocational Institution in Tracy in the late 1950s.

I am so glad I met Dr. Annamaria. She works without ceasing to help bring light to darkness by exposing Truth in regards to our Criminal Justice system and the people lost therein.
