Well, I entered the link and went down the list, which showed my name
and email, etc. and asked me to enter on the button. I did. But I do
not see any confirmation note saying my name was registered.
Our treatment of incarcerated people, citizens or not, is reflective
of our growing attitude toward any people who disagree with us.
Attack! The use of force and violence is becoming far too common.
Prisoners are more vulnerable than most people because they cannot
avoid contact with the prison guards.
Why do we not see that allowing prisoners to be treated inhumanely
puts us only one step away from receiving the same treatment?

On Wednesday, December 21st a prisoner at the Texas Clements Unit, Kevin
"Rashid" Johnson, was gassed in his cell while handcuffed from behind.
A letter written by Mr. Johnson to a supporter, dated December 22, 2016,
reported that his gassing was "all retaliation for my involvement in
exposing the foul abuses here." Johnson is a well-known scholar and prison
activist who has dedicated his efforts to exposing the civil and
environmental injustices behind bars.

fv53ETfUdLL> Click here to sign this petition to demand that the Texas
Department of Criminal Justice comply with the following:
1. Immediately provide medical attention to Kevin "Rashid" Johnson
before returning him to a decontaminated cell
2. Immediately return/replace his stolen legal materials and commissary
items
3. Prosecute the guards who gassed Kevin "Rashid" Johnson for
neglecting post-contamination procedure
4. Protect Clements Unit guard Britta Townsend from physical and
administrative retaliation
5. Stop the gassing of prisoners at Clements Unit
Johnson's most recent letter also reads:
"I'm in a gas-covered cell now. The law requires that they decontaminate a
prisoner and his cell anytime they spray gas on him/her. They refused in my
case. My sheets and bedding are covered in bright orange gas, underwear
too,
as is the cell wall."
According to the supporter who received Rashid's letter, she could smell
the
toxic gas as soon as she opened the envelope.
The vicious treatment of Mr. Johnson is part of a clear pattern. There is
evidently a culture among prison staff that encourages such sadistic
behavior. What they have done and continue to do -- both to Mr. Johnson and
to thousands of other victims -- constitutes a clear violation of basic
human rights.

A signed statement from prison guard Britta Townsend corroborates that Mr.
Johnson was confined to a gassed cell that was not decontaminated, and
forced to sleep with sheets covered with the bright orange gas. According
to
Mr. Johnson, Ms. Townsend now fears that she will be targeted by her peers
and higher ranking officers.
