_A Letter Campaign On Behalf Of Jerome White-Bey - Occupy The Prison 
Mail Room_

This is a call out for a new letter writing campaign to protest the 
treatment of Jerome White-Bey, who _yet again_ is being held in 
isolation on the punishment blocks under a false investigation. His 
situation in his own words:

I would like to bring your attention to the abuse, harassment, and 
unjust treatment I have been receiving at the hands of prison officials 
over the last ten years or more here in the Missouri prison system. 
Beginning from the Director George A. Lombardi and Dave Dormire, 
Director, Division of Adult Institutions, and each warden at every 
prison I am sent to are all involved in a plot to harass, punish, and 
even maybe murder me, all because of my founding the Missouri Prisoner's 
Labor Union here in the Missouri prison system. The abuses, the lies, 
the frame-ups, are well documented, yet nothing seems to stop the prison 
officials from harassing and abusing me.

It seems that the closer I get to release from prison the more 
aggressive they have become in their unjust treatment of me; here lies 
their two most painful and recent attacks. In 2011, my Custody Level was 
dropped from a Custody Level of C-5 to C-3 based upon good behaviour, so 
I was transferred to WMCC which is a Custody Level-3 Prison. While I was 
at WMCC, prison officials claim to have received a letter threatening 
the staff there by me, I was put in the 'hole' under an investigation, 
it was later proven that I did not write the letter, I received _no 
conduct violation_; but I was still punished for it because my Custody 
Level was raised from a Custody Level-3 back to a Custody Level-5 which 
places me into a maximum security prison that has extremely violent 
inmates, and orders were issued from the Director to the Classification 
staff, that my Custody Level is not to be dropped again; and I am to 
remain at Charleston prison until I am released from prison on December 
25, 2015.

Now, while in Charleston, since 4/6/2012, I am in Ad Seg, under a false 
investigation claim. This time it revolves around prison officials who 
have claimed they received information my name was on some kind of 'hit 
list', so the claim _now_ is I am in the 'hole' under an investigation 
for my _protection_, yet their records will show I have no enemies at 
S.E.C.C., but here I am in the 'hole' again unjustly. It means nothing 
to prison officials that I have not had any problem with anybody since 
I've been at Charleston; the investigation is nothing but a sham to 
harass and punish me. I have not made a request for protection, nor do I 
need it, so why am I in the 'hole'? The Missouri Department of 
Corrections has a system in place to where they reward informants by 
placing money on their accounts for information received regardless of 
whether it's true or not, and if it is on someone who is targeted, the 
more money the informant gets. Since my name is well known I am an east 
target for these people, giving the information to prison staff that 
they want to hear.

I am calling upon you to help me by writing to the following state 
officials demanding my release from Ad Seg., and a transfer back to a 
lower Custody Level. The Director George A. Lombardi and Dave Dormire 
should be fired, and the MDOC should be investigated for 'hate crimes'. 
Please send letters of concern about my unjust treatment to the U.S. 
Department of Justice, and if you do, please mention and 'CC' the 
Missouri State & U.S. Senators/Representatives herein listed, and feel 
free to write to me here as well.

White-Bey. Write letters to:
