Telford gives arbitrary riot cases after peaceful protest

On the 9th of Feb a peaceful protest (sit in) was staged to protest early “rack up” because TDCJ was short staffed. The unit has been short staffed for awhile. So some prisoners protested, and TDCJ officers responded by “tear gasing” the whole pod. Thoses who were in their cells were gassed as well as the “sit in” group. They put the peaceful, non-violent protest group away in their cells.

The next few weeks some people received riot cases and some didn’t. My cell mate was in the cell with me. He received a riot case. We thought that once they checked the cameras he would be shown not guilty. Well that was wrong. He got a case for rioting and we all got a case for rioting, because… well I don’t know why. Just a report from Telford Unit.
