Here at the Connally camp oppression is at an all time high and steadily reaching new levels. At the present time 7 building H pod has been on lockdown for 67 days (it began on July 6). We have had no hot meals (only "johnnies"), no commissary, showers only 3 times per week, no recreation, access to only 3 photo copied legal items from the law library 3 times a week, no contact visits and an overall denial of custody/class promotion even though none of us on lockdown had anything at all to do with its initiation and most of us have had no disciplinary cases in 12-24 months! The lockdown was initiated due to one convict simply grabbing the pig's arm. He is now in segregation. Head pigs Warden Bright and Warden Hunter said they are going to make examples out of us and teach us a lesson. The convicts on 7 building H pod are fed up and we are getting to stage a 144 man hunger strike in protest.
I have been here 15 years and seen that these people don't give a fuck if we live or die. Something must be done! There are a few "uncle Toms", "coconuts," and "white boys" that won't participate but those of us sacrificing and putting our health and lives on the line, we need all the support we can get from MIM and free world people.
We ask people to call and email/write Executive Director Brad Livingston at 936-437-2101; PO Box 99, Huntsville, TX 77342, Chief of Classification Pamela Williams at 936-437-2102 (same address as above), Ombudsman Arthur Addams at 936-437-6791 (same address as above) and Senior Warden Morales at 830-583-4003, 899 FM 632 Kenedy, TX 78119.
