Corrections officers routinely violate prisoner’s rights and have created a system of abuse through ignorance and lack of sanitation. Some of the human rights violations and complaints from prisoners are: 1. Overcrowding occurs regularly with no individual pods for women. Over 30 women in a pod crammed into approximately 22 beds. 2. There was only one shower for over 30 women. A violation of State of Tennessee Rule 1400-1-.04 paragraph 7. 3. There were over four women forced to sleep on the floor in each cell. There were only 8 beds but 12 women in cell E-4. 4. Lice infested, no lice combs given, only toxic pesticide shampoos given. 5. No socks given, only shower thongs. 6. Mice were coming up through a drain in women’s shower. 7. Mattress pads were thin ¼ -½ inch thick. 8. Women weren’t given any outdoor time or exercise area and were forced to stay locked in a small area without any fresh air or sunlight for months at a time. When they were allowed out, it was at odd hours like 6 am. 9. No soap or shampoo given except a packet of toxic chemicals because of claims that prisoners were using bars of soap as a weapon, yet jail personnel had no problem passing out razors. 10. Family members were not allowed to donate books to the library because they claimed people were smuggling in drugs in books when all they had to do was flip through the books. 11. The court is charging prisoners $15 a day to stay in jail for drug use instead of putting them into a rehabilitation program. Over 90% of the prisoners were in there for drug use. There is no mental health assistance for prisoners with psychiatric issues, which Petitioner estimates accounts for at least half of the population. 12. Prisoners are literally being starved to death and inmates are spending 25-$50 a week on commissary food with no actual healthy food available to purchase. Greene County is estimated to be making over $100,000 a year on commissary. Diet consisted of: Breakfast, 5 am: gravy, non-fat watered down milk, 8oz, two slices of bread, spoiled mandarins and one boiled egg. Lunch, 10:30 am: 2 slices of wheat bread and one slice cheese and one 2x2 in. white cake. Dinner: Powdered milk if you could call it that; mostly water, beans, spoiled collard greens, 2 slices bread. 13. The temperature inside the cells was freezing cold at around 40-50 degrees and inmates are only given a short sleeve jumpsuit to wear with thongs, one blanket, and one sheet. a. Visitors are forced to visit through glass; they can’t see or hear the other side, even when they are non-violent. 14. In order to visit or to write to a prisoner, a prisoner has to put the person on visitation list which how would they know someone wanted to visit them in the first place if they can‘t contact them? 15. No bottled water for sale or given out. Tap water contains poisons of toxic sodium fluoride, chlorine, and arsenic, the same chemical formulation that was alleged by John Kerry to have been used to gas the Syrians. 16. Only two tables that seat 4 people each for 30+ females and one television with nowhere to sit and watch. There are no tables in F pod and inmates are forced to eat on the floor. 17. There is black mold growing on the showers and walls. The mold had been painted over and black mold was still coming through. Only one shower and two toilets for 30 inmates in F Pod. 18. Several Prisoners had sinus problems related to mold exposure, nutritionally deficient diet and poisonous water. 19. The overcrowding and unsanitary conditions led to increased illnesses with no proper cleaning sprays. 20. No access to a clock so inmates could prepare for court or other appointments. 21. No access to law books or library for inmates to assist them in preparing for court or to conduct research. 22. Prisoners had witnessed another girl who was brought in a few weeks prior to Petitioner who had overdosed and was foaming at the mouth. Instead of taking her to the hospital, prison staff put her in the drunk tank. 23. Toilets are placed in direct line with the beds so you have no privacy when going to the bathroom and other inmates can see your private parts. 24. Fluorescent lights are left on all day and all night long creating an unhealthy environment. 25. No access to a doctor or Naturopathic Doctor. The doctor only comes on Mondays. 26. No posted menu as they aren’t following it anyways and don’t want any evidence showing the prisoners that. 27. Staff is inattentive to prisoner’s needs and is not doing checks every hour as State of Tennessee rules state. 28. Bunk beds are unsafe with no guard rail on top and top bunk is hard to get to with no ladder or assistance to get up there. 29. Violation of 1400-1-.10 section 8 as there are only two benches that seat 4 people each so almost all prisoners must eat at their bunk bed. 30. Ice chest in cel unsanitary as prisoners dip dirty cups into it. 31. Complete violation of 1400-1-.12 32. No library services, I was told we could donate books and magazines, but jail personnel said all library services had been discontinued because they claimed drugs were being smuggled in books! Well then they should check them. 33. Phone service hours were not posted and there was no privacy. 34. No outdoor light or access to exercise at all. State of Tennessee Rule in Paragraph 2 in .12 35. Complete violation of rules 1400-1-.15 as prisoners are being denied soap, TP, unacceptable footwear, no socks, no comb per paragraph 2 and instead are being told that someone had used it as a weapon so they had to take it away, yet they are being given sodas in plastic bottles that can also be used as weapons and no access to bottled water. 36. Also paragraph 5 says inmates are to have a mattress in good repair. The mattresses are under ½” thick and blankets were torn leaving inmates to freeze to death. 37. Inmates are supposed to have access to a phone. However, you need to have a pin number in order to use the pay phone. CO’s routinely did ...

Agent Orange was used in Viet Nam and veterans were compensated for being exposed to it. Same with Panama but the VA refuses to compensate ALL who were exposed in Panama. This is a petition to demand the VA take on the Panama Exposure cases and duly compensate those who were exposed.

Rhode Island wants and needs the PawSox to stay in Pawtucket, RI. Mc Coy Stadium is the best AAA ball park in the league. Let the Red Sox owners know that it would be a BIG MISTAKE to move them.

My son overdosed and was given Narcan. He was released from the hospital after being held 3 hours. Then just 23 minutes later was hit and killed by a train..

This petition is to appeal to the President of the United States,Mr Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama, to please have WORLD STAR HIP HOP website removed.This website originally promoted music videos but recently I have discovered, It is promoting street fights, bullying, but most of all violence amongst our children. Instead of individuals preventing or breaking up fights or calling for authority, their filming it via video phone and yelling," World Star!"Just recently I was a witness to a 7 year old little girl being attacked by a group of young boys ,whom looked like young teenagers, when asked what happened her little brother said "she was attacked so they can be on World Star Hip Hop." It's disgusting and sad to watch young men, women and children get brutalized and no one do anything but yell or scream out," World Star!" Please ,Please, Please, I am appealing to you Mr President and first lady of the United States and as parents most of all, to consider this petition and put a stop to this senseless violent nonsense.

We have watched the impact on the surrounding environment from the Enbridge oil spill in 2010, which changed forever over 40 miles of river through many different communities, only to hope that this will or can never happen to or in The Great Lakes....

The petition is about providing communities with the needed information to restore trust with PDs and provide reliable evidence to ensure due process for ALL suspects related to Probable cause. The data from the body cameras should be maintained by a third party (not PDs), the Police should have VERY MINIMAL controls to the functions of the device (on/switch), and the data needs to be transparent to the public and MUST be transparent to Governing bodies as evidence. This policy change should assure probable cause used by PDs, ensuring the public and governing bodies have a proper representation of encounters with Police, resulting in restored trust between the public and public servants and their ability to maintain peace for our great nation.

It's time for everyone stating their opinions to back them up with references. No more blanket statements devoid of facts! It's time for the media to tell us what the facts are and not simply provide a platform for either side to spew. Do your job and investigate issues sot hat you can provide us the facts with which to help us develop an educated opinion.

Hello all! I am going to re-do the petition to get soccer in Brimfield. I think it is about the time the board starts talking about next year, so let's show them how much we want soccer at our school. For those in Elmwood, we would love your input also. We cooperate in a lot of sports; maybe soccer could be one of them.

We the undersigned, would like to see the Facebook page for the Mesabi Humane Society returned to its community friendly version. We are in no way implying that the new director is doing a poor job but we feel that networking the animals is a huge part of our community responsibility. We enjoy seeing pictures of the animals and the new homes of the adopted animals. We also like having the ability to post a photo of a found or lost animal, which in turn can be easily shared. It is fun to see photos of our community and students participating in shelter events and volunteering and this in turn can spark the desire to volunteer in others. By being community oriented, the page can easily share such things as spay/neuter events, fundraisers, etc. We are animal lovers, we are community.... and it takes a community to care for the animals.

In recent years, the Recycling Center at the intersection of Ira Lane & Shanelly Drive has suffered from considerable misuse/abuse resulting in piles of recyclables, litter, and general rubbish being discarded in and around the recycling area. Township officials have been notified numerous times over the past year+ and have been presented potential resolutions, including requests to relocate the recycling center .5 miles or less from its current location so it may be better monitored and maintained. To date Township officials have been reluctant and/or hesitant to move forward. I'm requesting the community's assistance in addressing this topic.

We are voting against the solar panel project on Beaver Dam Ch. Rd. This will be one of the largest solar farms in NC. It will be right beside Crest Middle School as well as Pebble Creek Development. Not only is this site bad for home owners the evidence of long term health risk are not known at this time. Why expose so many kids? This land was zoned R20 for residential single home use. Im not against solar farms I just believe there is county land thats better suited for this industry. To much agriculture land is being used up for 30 years of solar farms. Please sign this petition
