My name is Dennis "Solo" McKeithan, and I'm a prisoner held at SCI Greene prison, Pennsylvania. A lot of times, people here have talked about being in the RHU, which is the Restricted Housing Unit, which is a prison inside a prison. In the Restricted Housing Unit, you have [inaudible] custody and administrative custody. Administrative custody is supposed to be non-punitive, but in reality, it is a continuation of the punishment under the guise and label of administrative custody. You still locked in 23 to 24 hours a day. You get one hour, five days a week, exercise at a dog kennel-type cage. You have no other human contact. You are handcuffed behind your back whenever you come out for a shower which you only get 3 showers a week for 10 minutes, each. You are fed through a slot in the door, and you get depleted portions of food. You may get two pieces of broccoli, three spoons of potatoes. So being in the RHU, you're definitely- constantly abused, constantly being exhausted and tired. I was placed on administr

James Cone: Father of Black Liberation Theology[col. writ. 4/29/18] © ’18 Mumia Abu-Jamal James Cone was a small man, as in short of stature; but he was great in mind as a theologian and scholar.And after the emergence of the Black Freedom Movement of the ‘60s, he shocked the world with his seminal work Black Theology, where he wrote; “God is Black.” Professor Cone wasn’t the first to say that, for, decades before he did so, scholar Arthur Huff Fauset wrote Black Gods of the Metropolis,published originally in 1944, detailing Black religious movements in US Northern ghettoes. Professor Cone’s work, enlightened by the Black Freedom movement, led him to write:            God is black…There is no place in black theology for a colorless God in a society where human beings suffer precisely because of their color. The blackness of God means that God has made the oppressed condition God’s own condition. James Hal Cone, author: A Black Theology of Liberation, 2nd ed. (1986) Cone’s ideas came to fruition in Black Chris

This piece is called "Measured Justice: a [inaudible] chaotic financial, political, and social time." It's becoming quite clear that justice and revenge are perfectly compatible. Justice has, over centuries, been doled out by many hands spanning hundreds of mediums. Justice has just as widely denied to the poor, downtrodden, and outright innocent along the way. Our government has laid out a plan for it that's been revised countless times on every level until most of us are confused as to how it should be consistently and equally distributed from race to race, class to class, and generation and generation. I believe in justice, have had mine denied and then wiped clean off the mat, where only faith kept my mind and actions from seeking the dark side. Instead, I was bolstered with the self-control and desire to not make matters worse every time. That awareness is present now, and as I battled for understanding, acceptance, and building back up from square one, it stays present. I know that when you seek revenge

"Eastern Kentucky University Environmental Forum."While preparing for this piece, it was asked some specific questions which require more time than what I have to answer. However, I will try, within the time constraints, to address most of them.First, let's talk about the grassroots movement in the affected communities. It must be understood that for a lot of the people, prospects of having a power plant or coal gasification plant in their community is, in their mind, a blessing because of the potential for a better financial future. Bear in mind that, for the majority of the time, these projects target poor and uneducated communities, so any of us tries to stop the construction of such facilities will be viewed as the enemy. For those people, the thought of possibly losing their chance at a better life will be frightening. So before gaining any support for a movement, a job is to successfully debunk all the lies that are told to these communities. For example, town hall meetings or meetings at people's house

Hello, my name is Omar Askia Ali AKA Edward Sistrunk. Uh, my topic is the Philadelphia new DA.  It is understood that a prosecutor has a higher calling than just to win. He or she has a duty to do justice. Therein the new DA in Philadelphia is living up to the highest standard of what a DA is supposed to be. As soon as the new progressive DA Larry Krasner took office, he appointed Patricia Conley as chief of the new Conviction Integrity Unit, which is just one of his pledges for sweeping reforms to the criminal justice system. He removed thus far 32 former assistant DAs from his office and made the court of public opinion aware of a list of tainted police officers who are part of the reason Philadelphia locks up more people per capita than any other big city in the nation and Philadelphia has been sued repeatedly for prison overcrowding. See Philadelphia magazine series April 2017 at phillymag.com. Subsequent evidence showed that the DA office has manipulated the jury selection process as to get an all-white

I am Reginald Sinclair Lewis. This piece is called "House on Fire." The keys to understanding why you, [inaudible], who comprise an overwhelming majority of law-abiding, hardworking  Americans, lose your homes to foreclosure. It's just a tap, tap, tap away on the keys on your computer or a short trip to your newest law library.Look up contract law and state and trust, eminent domain, UCC laws, or unified commercial code. Draconian laws all pass by your state legislators and forced by the courts against you. If you are a recipient of [inaudible] mortgage law, chances are you could not discern or decipher the subtle complexities of the language. The draft is hid in small print and the unreasonably unconscionable contracts of adhesion for law which is always secretly favors the other parties. Lawyers know exactly what it means, but they're too afraid of the big, bad wolf to warn you. Black's Law- Black's Law Dictionary defines "attorney" as one designated to transact business for another. The prefix, "attorn-,"

Valley Free Radio Interview with Noelle Hanrahan (29:44)

My name is Omar Askia Ali AKA Edward Sistrunk. I'm housed in Coal Township. My subject matter is prison-based gerrymandering. An article in the new Pittsburgh Courier, December the 2nd, quotes the Pennsylvania Secretary of Corrections John Wessel stating that he stopped the longstanding policy of shipping inmates to facilities far from their homes when studied data revealed that it hindered family visits and increased recidivism. According to the Pennsylvania state constitution, counting prisoners living in areas that aren't their residence is illegal. According to a 2009 study by the Prison Policy Initiative, blacks are 9.8 times as likely to be in prison as white people, but a disproportionate number of state and federal prisons are located in counties that have a larger proportion of whites than the state has a whole. In 2010, Maryland became the first state to pass a law requiring that prisoners be counted in their own districts, adding an estimated 12,000 Baltimoreans to the city's official population.
