Prisoners' lives matter
Sentenced to prison is punishment in itself. Stop solitary confinement and staff corruption and abuse at State Correctional Institute-Greene.
Why is this important?
State Correctional Institute-Greene inmates have been on a hunger strike since 5/16/2015 due to staff mistreatment.
There are good and bad staff within any establishment. We request a thorough investigation to remove the corrupt ones, who support:
1. Illegal gang units without a policy or funding from Department of Justice.
2. Unwarranted investigation in which an arbitrar denies prisoners procedural due process involving their confinement.
3. Housing prisoners on administration custody status pending so-called separation transfer as a way to keep prisoners locked down on A.C. status for months on end.
4. Tampering with inmates' outgoing and incoming mail, which violates D.O.C. policies and procedures as well as constitutional standards.
5. Violating of D.O.C. code of ethics on many aspects arranging from falsifying reports etc.,
6. Denying prisoner’s property such as basic life necessity upon their arrival to RHU.
7. Denial of eye glasses to prisoner with severe medical condition involving their eyes while in RHU.
8. Destruction of prisoner’s legal property and personal property which interferes with prisoners appeals.
9. Improper screening process of potential C.O.'s
