We as the public, loved ones, and family members deserve and have the right to know!
Why is this important?
REMINDER:
National Prison Strike
August 21st -September 9th
State and Federal Prisons.
We are demanding the resignation of SCDC Director Stirling. There are many, many reasons and I am sure so much more than I list.
First of all let me set the record straight...the incident that happened at Lee County Correctional Institute on April 15th and lasted throughout the night ending in at least 7 inmates deaths...this incident didn't have anything to do with phones or contraband, it was simply because they choose to mix rival gangs together in the same dorm. Why did it take 7 hours?! 7 hours to help the injured or even stop what was going on, because it was noted that when SLED arrived there was no issue with the inmates. No employee inside that prison even tried to take any kind of action.
It has been known that these same CO's have hosted 'Gladiator Matches'. Where they set it up to watch the inmates fight to what potentially could be the death.
As for the cell phones, Stirling happens to be hiding behind one (YES ONE) incident that happened in 2010; September 1st, 2010 actually, against a CO. Capt. Robert Johnson, who was ordered a hit on from a Cript gang member. Now before we go any farther with this... it is my understanding from a source that this all could have been avoided had Capt. Johnson not received money from a group of individuals for a "pack" he went and got, then giving it to another group of individuals...this causing the anger and having it directed towards him. So was it the cell phone or even gang member that was at fault for this...absolutely NOT, if Capt. Johnson chose to be crooked, then toy with the individuals money and pack. I call that instigating. Yet here he is blaming cellphones...the same cell phones he was helping bring into this prison. I understand being upset or angry, but this is a grudge for an incident that he instigated and happened almost a decade ago and it seems to be the ONLY incident you ever hear about from Stirling. You do the math. Ratio of cell phones confiscated versus attacks against officers involving cell phones.. Hundreds of thousands to 1 (ONE).
Most of these men share their phones so others can call family members, to call family members and loved ones; they aren't fighting over them. If it weren't for those cell phones, this would have been swept under the rug, like many other incidents have. Which is exactly why Stirling is punishing F1, F3 and F5 dorms....because they leaked the information that has caused an avalanche of lawsuits, angry inmates and REALLY angry loved ones, on top of him
The cell phone isn't the weapon...unless it is used to expose what conditions Stirling is having them live in and the real life inside the prison. There are incidents on many occasions involving inmates' deaths and how they are rushed off in a van before the ambulance even makes it there. One incident happened to be on Officers Appreciation Day. There was a stabbing, the man was quickly rushed off, leaving others to wonder what happened, where he went and whether or not he bled out.
The prison doesn't have enough money to hire more employees (Yet the people that would work there, there is always a reason for them not to be hired) or pay employees more for their time but will spend millions to block cell service and now drones, or I don't know maybe, just maybe clean these crap holes up and make it suitable for people/ human beings to live in. Seems to me that Stirling has it all backwards... You were always taught never to bite the hand that feeds you, but Stirling you are starving each and every one of them... employees, inmates, families, loved ones and every single person that has to cover up YOUR mistakes... and I hate to tell you but you're gonna get BIT!
Moving along and again, surely I will miss probably many things and when signing the petition if anyone can think of anything, please add it to your comment.
Let's start with food. Food is typically expired and in lack of proportion. Sometimes inmates are not fed until almost dinner and they are just tossed slop. There is nothing healthy about what they are served, I have a lot of photos of food sent to me and I have yet to see fruit and if there is a vegetable it doesn't look right. The only time it was seen that they had any kind of healthy FRESH food was when they were posting pictures of the volunteers smiling...'Look at me I'm doing good'. Meanwhile, they were fed that for the entire next week. I have had employees tell me how these people were fed stuff to make dog food...yes, you heard me right, DOG FOOD. Clearly stated on the package, it said "not for human consumption". So what do these employees do? Serve it up and pass it out to inmates. Every time I even think of that it makes me cry. Who does this to other human beings?
These men are degraded, dehumanized, isolated, and improperly fed. These men are treated as slaves. You're welcome, Warren Buffett. In case you weren't aware, he has many plants that have inmates making his products for him. Why, you ask? Because it is cheaper than having them made on the outside...how is this not considered slavery? How is this rehabilitation?
These men get treated terribly and live in deplorable conditions. They have been punished already; they had their freedom and rights taken away. They shouldn't have to be put through this as well. This is torture. Give them rehabilitation, teach them how to be so they can return to the streets properly...instead of creating bigger criminals. The longer you keep them in the further away from the outside they become, detaching them. You then release them back into society setting them up for failure. Everyone makes mistakes. Help fix them instead of making it worse.
South Carolina prisons are said to be the worst in the nation. There have been many, many killings on Stirling's watch. Most are hidden and rushed out to have the bodies disposed of...so the public doesn't find out. Murder Camp. J...
