Sanders and Grijalva: Justice Is Not for Sale

"H.R.3543: Justice Is Not for Sale Act" has only 30 cosponsors, all Democrats. See the few representatives who are willing to alienate the powerful private prison industry for the sake of righteousness. Provisions include:
SEC. 3. ELIMINATION OF FEDERAL CONTRACTS FOR PRIVATELY RUN PRISONS WITHIN 3 YEARS.
SEC. 4. ELIMINATION OF STATE AND LOCAL CONTRACTS FOR PRIVATELY RUN PRISONS WITHIN 3 YEARS.
SEC. 5. REINSTATEMENT OF PAROLE.

People whose names you might expect to find on the list are NOT there, such as Rep. John Lewis, who is supposedly the "moral voice in Congress" and a supporter of Hillary Clinton for president.

Please read a summary of the "Justice Is Not for Sale Act" by Senator Bernard Sanders and Congressman Raul Grijalva. The summary is not available at Congress.gov yet for some reason.

Bernie Sanders Introduces a Bill to Ban Private Prisons

http://www.colorlines.com/articles/bernie-sanders-introduces-bill-ban-private-prisons

Sanders says that America will "no longer have the world's largest prison population by the end of his first term," "decriminalize marijuana on a federal level," "ban private prisons from operating in the US," and "end monthly immigration detention quotas." ‪#‎feelthebern‬

Activists who say they care about human rights for prisoners will certainly want to support an end to private prison companies that capitalize off the suffering of prisoners and their families. Families of prisoners should support H.R.3543 and the officials who introduced the bill and co-sponsor it. All Americans should write to their representatives and urge their support to end slavery in America.

Americans should realize that "stop and frisk" and racial profiling were/are measures to arrest more people, particularly Blacks. This has particular impact for New York, which will soon hold its primary elections. Mass incarceration continues for several reasons: greed, racism, and eugenics (preventing population growth among certain classes of people). Once we eliminate government contracts with private prison companies, officials will be able to make decisions based on what is best for their constituents rather than how their decisions will impact their prison stocks. The only way to remove that conflict of interest is to eliminate private prison profiteering altogether.

Congratulations to the co-sponsors of "Justice Is Not for Sale Act." Thank you for not accepting campaign contributions from private prison companies or investing in America's 21st century slavery system.

Thanks for participating in the "Human Rights for Prisoners March" across the Internet to demand respect for all people. All lives matter.

Marching to the U.N. for Prisoners' Rights

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") vs. USA in International Court re Crimes Against Humanity 

* Now gathering 100 cases of government abuse of mentally challenged Americans of all races to present a Complaint to the United Nations: rejection for treatment, long-term homelessness, hospital abuse, wrongful convictions, lengthy solitary confinement, police brutality, executions, and wrongful death cases. Call 678.531.0262 or Google Voice (571)335-1741. Email MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com. Title the email "AIMI v. USA."

* Also gathering 100 people victimized by mentally ill people or drug addicts who were denied treatment. If you were robbed, burglarized, assaulted, or had a relative who was killed by a mentally ill person or a drug/alcohol addict, please call us and email us.

* We will demand monetary damages for claimants plus changes in how America treats mental illness and substance abuse. Incarceration must be replaced with adequate, timely treatment and subsistence assistance.

Continue to call and email until you reach Mary Neal. The government may not want you to be included in this international Complaint against the USA. The U.N. provides that abuses by government agents (including police, judges, and other officials) can be levied against its member states. It may not matter if your case is beyond the statute of limitations set by U.S. law or if it was dismissed by corrupt courts. Hear more at "ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL" Blogtalkradio shows Wednesdays at 9pm Pacific.

This international action is intended to (1) pay restitution to affected parties, (2) protect Americans who have mental disabilities and drug/alcohol dependencies, and (3) protect innocent people who suffered at the hands of untreated mentally ill persons or drug and/or alcohol addicts.

AIMI believes that people with mental illness and drug or alcohol addictions are deliberately left untreated to commit crimes that will excuse long prison sentences. This is done to enlarge our prison population. At least one-half of America's inmates are mentally ill (1.25 million), and over one-half of the victims of police violence are also mentally ill. Sixty percent of inmates in solitary confinement (SHU) are mentally ill. The entire private prison system was created and is sustained by criminalizing mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions. Mentally challenged and addicted people deserve treatment, not punishment.

"AIMI vs. USA" will be filed with the International Court in 2015. All Claimants' cases will be reviewed by the International Lawyer and those selected will be presented in the legal action for recovery of damages.

Phone conferences to join Claimants in "AIMI vs. USA" in International Court are held on the first weekend in every month at 9am Pacific time, 10am Mountain Time, 11am Central and 12 noon Eastern. Beginning dates were September 6 and September 7.

Thanks for joining the Human Rights for Prisoners March!

Go to Hell, SAMHSA

Go to hell, SAMHSA, and take yo mama, CCA, GEO, and Wackenhut with you. Get yo funk out of my face!

Sad news: The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has prison investors who do not want mentally ill Americans to have the four provisions below:

(a) Medicaid insurance for psychiatric inpatients

(b) AOT programs, providing food, housing, and mandated psychiatric care

(c) Crisis intervention training for police officers and prison guards to reduce violence against mentally ill people

(d) Family members who know about their treatment and can advocate for them, presently blocked by HIPPA.

H.R.3717 "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act" would approve the changes above. SAMHSA claims to be against H.R.3717 because it fears civil rights violations, but in fact, SAMHSA fears profit losses for private prison owners who want to continue denying treatment to people with serious mental illness who are too sick to even know they need help. SAMHSA wants to preserve the worst cases untreated in order to relegate our sick people to prisons or the graveyard. We have 1.25 million mentally ill prisoners because EVERYBODY KNOWS MOST PRISON INVESTORS WORK FOR THE GOVERNMENT, SAMHSA.

Please excuse the title of this article, but it is time for somebody to be as riled up about helping mentally ill people as they are about Bundy's cows and Michael Vick's dogs.

Show us some people who SAMHSA helped when they were arrested for mental illness. Show us some families SAMHSA helped get justice when their sick loved ones were shot in the street by untrained police officers or murdered behind bars, SAMHSA. Hypocrites are paid YOUR tax money to prevent treatment to the very people who they receive $3.6 BILLION of your money annually to help. We have 1.25 million people with mental illness behind bars, and SAMHSA pays YOUR tax money to prevent treatment. Can you believe it?

Did you know the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration gave grants (YOUR money) to an organization that denies that mental illness exists? Did you know that SAMHSA gave another grant (YOUR money) to an organization called "Dance Your Way to Mental Health"? Did anybody tell Kelly Thomas to dance his way to mental health? Did anybody tell Sen. Deeds' son to dance and be well? Should the people in Aurora Theater have invited their killer to dance? 

Where is SAMHSA when mentally ill and retarded people are on death row? Did they even write a letter for the condemned mentally challenged people? Where is SAMHSA when killings of unarmed mentally ill people by police officers on steroids are pronounced "justified"? Where was SAMHSA when my own brother was secretly arrested and killed in Memphis Shelby County Jail after 18 days of secret incarceration, and the government refuses to release documents regarding his arrest and exactly how they killed him?

SAMHSA diverts money from mental hospitals and community care programs, and gives YOUR tax money to completely useless organizations in order to create more and more mental health crises that endanger communities and increase the $75 billion annual prison debt by arresting sick people. GET YO FUNK OUT MY FACE, SAMHSA. Tell your administrators it is time to cash in their prison stock, because we will pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. People with serious mental illness will finally get the help they need to stay out of prison.

Executing, Imprisoning African Americans and Sick People
http://freespeakblog.blogspot.com/2014/04/executing-imprisoning-african-americans.html

Hear a mother discuss her son's need for an AOT program on "Human Rights Demand." Paul Castaway, who is presently imprisoned in a Denver jail, has been brutalized by police officers, correctional officers, and gang members in his community, yet he does not stay on his psychiatric medications once he is released from a correctional facility. His mother spoke of her dread of someday getting a call in the middle of the night announcing Paul Castaway's death. "The Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act" is a matter of life and death for Paul Castaway and other people with serious mental illness who cannot recognize their own need for continuous treatment.

Please share the link to the live and archived broadcasts. Help for people with serious mental illness is help for YOU. We all attend the same schools and shop at the same malls. Thank you.

USA Human Rights for Prisoners March

Paragraph 1 of 8 -- Activists plan a HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH across America in October 2012. It will be conducted in the same way that the Olympic torch is passed, using a banner instead of a torch. Advocates will meet other relay walkers at their city line and retrieve the "HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS" banner to march through their city to the next city line. MASS INCARCERATION HAS GOT TO GO! Instead of reducing our prison rolls, officials now plan concentration camps in the USA. It is time to take the battle offline and to the streets.

Paragraph 2 of 9 -- If you don't care about prisoners, consider this: YOUR JOBS WENT TO PRISON along with 2.3 million people (url # 1 of 3 http://www.nytimes.com/2012/03/15/business/private-businesses-fight-federal-prisons-for-contracts.html?pagewanted=all . Roughly one million prison laborers work in customer service, manufacturing, and perform many former union jobs. Private industries in America cannot compete with prisons and overseas corporations for providing cheap production costs. End mass incarceration.

 Paragraph 3 of 9 -- The weather throughout the nation is usually mild in October, which is the last month before Election Day 2012. We hope to impress upon local and federal candidates that people are FED UP ENOUGH TO STAND UP against mass incarceration, wrongful convictions, prisoner abuse, capital punishment (especially without irrefutable proof of guilt), excessive sentencing, criminalizing mental illness, private prisons, inadequate health care for inmates, solitary confinement torture, substandard meals for prisoners, exploitative prices for phone calls, prison work projects that compete with companies that hire "free" people, brutality and covered-up murders by police and prison guards, and other inhumane acts.

Paragraph 4 of 9 -- Our banner will say "END MASS INCARCERATION" on one side and "HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS" on the other side. Please sign up in the comments section below to carry the sign though your city to the next city line to relay it to advocates who will be waiting for it there. You can use your first name, whole name, or a pseudonym. Name your city, and include a means of contact - a phone number or an email address. If you prefer not to use your regular email address, please open a new email account for coordinating this effort. No one will have to leave home and attend a rally in another area, but our demands will be carried throughout the nation. We will likely use four or more banners so that most cities can be represented within the month of October from East to the West. The HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS banners will be 5 feet long and 2.5 feet wide so they can be carried by two walkers without the need to leave public sidewalks. The banners will be plastic to resist rain.

Paragraph 5 of 9 -- Please check with authorities in your area for any regulations regarding the march through your town. In Atlanta, I was told that signs cannot have sticks, and the banner against MASS INCARCERATION and inhumane conditions for prisoners in America will not be on sticks. If you plan to have a rally in your city in association with this effort to STOP PRISONER ABUSE and END CORRUPTION IN THE JUSTICE SYSTEM, please make sure you have any necessary permits.

Paragraph 6 of 9 --  INMATES ARE DYING of murders, suicides, and hunger strikes! STAND UP for justice and compassion. Please sign up to carry the sign through your city here and now in the comments field for this web page below this invitation. We're AWAKE, we're STRONG, we're UNITED. AIN'T NO STOPPING US NOW! We must repeal NDAA's Section 1021 for concentration camps in the USA, free political prisoners, and end racism and class consciousness in the justice system. Organizations, churches and temples, and colleges are encouraged to sign up and CARRY FORTH OUR DEMANDS FOR HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS. If you experience difficulty signing up to carry the sign from your city to the next city line, please TRY to email me at MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com . Also, please email the U.S. Department of Justice (USDOJ) at AskDOJ@usdoj.gov . The USDOJ is the agency full of federal employees who are paid to protect our constitutional rights, including freedom of assembly, freedom of press and free speech. There should be eight numbered paragraphs and three(3) url links on this page.

Paragraph 7 of 9 --  The USA may be taken before the U.N. regarding violations against prisoners' human rights. See information at this url #2 of 3  http://www.internationalcure.org/UPR_USA.htm Use the preceding link to access "UNITED STATES HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS IN CORRECTIONAL PRACTICES - A contribution to the 2010 UN Universal Periodic Review - By NGO International CURE."

Paragraph 8 of 9 --  It is preferable to have at least ten people marching with the sign through each city, so please sign up to be a relay walker even if your city is already represented among the volunteers listed below. No number is too many. If you are too timid to sign up here and share your contact information, we must assume you might also be too timid to carry out your promise to march with the sign in October. But there are other ways to participate in this effort.

Paragraph 9 of 9 -- Everyone who cannot be relay walkers during the Human Rights for Prisoners march can still participate. Please share this invitation or the link with your online groups and others (url # 3 of 3 http://humanrightsforprisonersmarch.blogspot.com/2012/07/usa-human-rights-for-prisoners-march.html ). The four or five banners for the march will cost $50 each. Cyberstalkers ordinarily attack my computers whenever I coordinate projects to oppose MASS INCARCERATION and PRISONER ABUSE. Donations to cover those expenses would be appreciated. A post office box and a PayPal account icon will be published on this page for donations. Thank you for planning to participate in the HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH across America. It is time for all people to arise, unite, and end oppression.
