Jails and Prisons: prisoners are human too
Stop the mistreatment of prisoners and let them have the rights they were intended.
Why is this important?
This is about all prisons, not just the ones mentioned here. Now some of these things have been resolved, but it still occurs in other places. This petition is being started for two reasons. My friend is a prisoner at Potosi Correctional Center in Potosi, MO. He and two other prisoners have been written up because the prison officials think that my friend strong armed them into sending money to me. (Which is not true, the other prisoners contact me from my flyers that are circulating in the jail). I do prisoner's services out of my home, prisoners higher me to do research for cases and look up things for them. Now just because I am on my friend's visiting list (which I didn't know I was because in 2006 I got Denied), they think that my friend was involved in a conspiracy to get money in his account . Which is far from the case. I have sent in evidence to the contrary in the form of letters from the ones that hired me. The Caseworker Mike Laden had found all three men not guilty, yet the Warden over turned this action and found them guilty. This is not fair. I know prisoners have done their crime, but at the same time they are human just like everyone else. I am trying to get these guys out of the solitary or seg. The other reason for this petition is the fact St. Louis City Jail, in St. Louis, MO, had an inmate who was called by medical for a medical reason and that inmate didn't respond, so who let's them lay in a cell for 2 1/2 hours without anyone checking on them? ST. LOUIS CITY POLICE....They may deserve to be in jail but they are still human.
