Jamil Al-Amin needs our help! <br><br>
<br>
After filing a complaint with prison officials that his legal mail<br>
from his wife was being opened by guards, Jamil Al-Amin was moved to
another area of the Reidsville Prison. The area he is currently in is
reserved for mental patients, and those who throw their food at guards.
When Imam Jamil asked why he was moved to that area of the
facility, he was informed that a guard (the same guard that illegally
opened his mail) had put on his record that Jamil Al-Amin had assaulted
him.<br><br>
<br>
The food Jamil Al-Amin is being "served" is brought uncovered,
and<br>
fed to him through what can only be considered a trough (which is the way
pigs and other farm animals are fed). Prison officials also use same
opening used to push his food through to mop the dirty floor of the cell,
furthering the possibility of contamination. This unsanitary food
handling has prompted Imam Jamil to refuse the food from the Prison
entirely, in essence Imam Jamil is on a hunger strike.<br>
<br>
Jamil Al-Amin's defense team is asking that he be moved to another<br>
facility because he is not<br>
receiving fair treatment at Reidsville as a result of filing his<br>
complaint. <br>
<br>
We have an obligation to contact the Warden and ask for his fair<br>
treatment. <br>
<br>
Please write or call the Warden at the Reidsville Prison<br><br>
Stephen Upton , Warden<br>
Georgia State Prison<br>
<br>
Reidsville, GA 30453 <br>
or call<br>
<br>
(912) 557-7301<br><br>
<br>
The initials of the guard that both opened Jamil Al-Amin's mail and<br>
added the false assault incident to his record are
"A.D".<br><br>
<br>
Please remember not to make threats or allegations. Examples of<br>
concerns to raise in your<br>
correspondence would be the following:<br><br>
<br>
Why was Jamil Al-Amin recently moved into an further isolation, and<br>
to an area of the prison<br>
reserved for patients with mental problems?<br><br>
<br>
Why is Jamil Al-Amin still being held in Administrative<br>
Segregation?<br><br>
<br>
What is being done to ensure the best interests of Jamil Al-Amin's<br>
safety and heath?<br><br>
<br>
Please circulate this widely and do all you can to help Imam Jamil
Al-Amin!<br><br>
