Abuse and Censorship at Wynne

I really appreciate you for informing me of this policy for an appeal of all rejected publications from different units, but this unit I’m on (Wynne) isn’t given a person or persons and opportunity to appeal our right to have ULK 63 at all. I hope and pray that we win this case in receiving all of Under Lock & Key pamphlets with no problem. There is no riots or strikes or disruptions going on at this prison that I’m on at all, period. These old folks are just waiting to die and the authorities aren’t making it easy for us to just do our time. Some are getting parole while others are dying and suffering a beat down handcuff beating.

These officers are out of line handling us old people the way they treat us, slam to the ground while in handcuffs, you grieve the incident and are retaliated on when no life flight going over the railing from the third tier. You might survive the fall and you may wish you didn’t make it because you be in so much pain. Old people’s bones heal very slowly.

Some of us like to have some help from the outside world to get political news to read on all what’s happening around the nation and to stay connected to the free world even though you’ll never be able to go back to the world ever again.

Reading the notification to the Director’s Review Committee 11/2/2018 for Under Lock & Key No. 63 on my denied yellow paper says Reason C, page 1 and 5 advocate prison disruption/strike. But reading what’s on these pages of that booklet there’s nothing of that such. See they have taken all the manual’s out of the law library on procedure to fight them when they are wrong in wronging one of us on their own policies.

These pages in ULK 63 said “publications shall not be rejected solely because the publication advocates the legitimate use of offender grievance procedures, urges offenders to contact public representatives about prison conditions, or contains criticism of prison authorities.”

This don’t have anything to do with reason C at all. There is no material that a reasonable person would construe as written solely for the purpose of communicating information designed to achieve the breakdown of prisons, through offender disruption such as strikes, riots or security threat group activity at all period. So TDCJ denied the publication because they didn’t like what they was reading and denied it out of spite, but the law is the law and they is not exempt from the law (DRC) and it is going down.
