I would like to advise MIM that my issues with NYS DOCS on keeping me
in admin seg for being a leader of the New York State Latin King
Chapter is now in the Albany Co, Supreme Court. The continued
segregation and solitary confinement of minority Latinos and Blacks
must come to an end. These Special Housing Units (SHU's) in New York
State were built under the pretense of placing extremely violent
prisoners within them. These new prisons have been built within the
past 4 years and 12 new prisons have been built for these reasons.
These prisons are not being used for the violent, they are being
used for Security Risk Groups: Latin Kings, Bloods, Crips, Rat Hunters
& so on.
These new SHU's are filled with people who are here for dirty urine. To justify the money being spent for these prisons they must keep them full! New York State is the only state that gives 5 years solitary confinement on a dirty urine for smoking a stick of weed!(joint) This is their reform and rehabilitation for the drug users!
The article on U.S. prison officials use of torture and biological
weapons in MIM Notes 256 is 100% true, because I live it every day of
my life since 2000. I've been in the New York State SHU restricted diet
(the "loaf") bread mixed with cabbage then baked into a solid gruel.
The teargas, pepper spray and so on to an asthmatic is a deadly
practice. The stunguns, and electric riot shield is a deadly practice
for anyone with a heart problem. The United States Supreme Court
abolished cruel and unusual punishment. If these practices aren't cruel
and unusual then deadly force along with the governments dumbocracy has
just stepped up onto a new plateau!
It's time to wake up and become a part of the resolution to fix the problem.
Peace almighty today, tomorrow and forever. King's love,
-a NY prisoner, May 2002
