Terrell Scott Re-Arrested on Indefensible Charges

1.  Terrell Scott's present imprisonment is the most blatant evidence of mentally ill Americans being victimized for being sick that this advocate has ever encountered. Scott was re-arrested on June 5 for failing to keep appointments with his probation office although he was committed to a mental hospital at the time. His crime is apparently that he never learned astral projection - the ability to appear two places simultaneously. Prison profiteers in the Pennsylvania justice system need a psych evaluation. This article was updated June 21, 2014, and again on June 27, 2014.

2.  In 2009, two veteran judges in Pennsylvania courts were charged with corruption after confessing to accepting $2.6m for railroading children into private juvenile facilities. The same thing is happening to the mentally ill and poor people in Pennsylvania, probably because whereas one of the judges was charged and sentenced, nothing at all happened to the prison owners, and this writer does not know about the second judge. Bribing judges is criminal, but the owners of the private prison facilities who conspired with the judges were spared prosecution, as far as I know.

3.  Terrell Scott was arrested off the word of a Caucasian woman who he exposed as being an abusive, negligent mother who enjoyed sex with underage black boys. When he reported her children's abuse to Pennsylvania authorities, Terrell's allegations were thoroughly investigated and found to be true. The children were removed from Crystal's custody. Months later, apparently missing her child support and blaming Terrell, Crystal went to officials and said that Terrell Scott had abused her children. No proof was offered, and Terrell Scott was never allowed to defend himself against the charges in court.

4.  Falsely accusing mentally ill people and black youths of crimes that never happened, then denying trial, is America's new prison profiteering game plan. Victims like Terrell Scott are held indefinitely without trials for years in torturous conditions unless and until they agree to sign false confessions and plea bargain. This happens throughout the United States, and it will continue and worsen unless Americans take a stand against the blatant denial of our constitutional right to a fair, public, speedy trial-by-jury as laid out in the Sixth Amendment.

5.  Shannon Nyamodi, an innocent black youth, age 20, was detained in Franklin County Jail in torturous solitary confinement for most two years, presumably to help the state avoid prosecuting a white youth who may have done the crime for which Nyamodi was arrested. Nyamodi's own attorney, Mike Klinkosum, helped North Carolina avoid taking his case to trial. For some reason, the North Carolina Department of Corrections suddenly transferred Nyamodi away from Franklin County Jail to another correctional facility last month, which finally relieved Nyamodi of torturous solitary confinement. 

6.  The first thing that Nyamodi did upon transfer was to fire his corrupt attorney, who had asked for a continuance rather than taking his client's case to trial despite having charged Nyamodi's family a king's ransom for his defense. Nyamodi (who was also apparently denied mail privileges in Franklin County Jail as well as visitors and telephone calls) mailed the termination letter to Klinkosum and filed a copy with the court. Mysteriously, Nyamodi was transferred right back to Franklin County Jail last week, and Klinkosum was able to extract his signature on a plea bargain the same day. The trauma of being sent back to his torture chamber must have robbed Nyamodi of his last resistance, which was the apparent plan.

7.  This week, a Florida judge actually interrupted court and engaged in a fist fight with a defense attorney who demanded his client's right to a speedy trial. Many judges, prosecutors, and defense attorneys are prison investors, but the Florida defendant's case was apparently assigned to an honest public defender who wanted justice for his client, unlike Mike Klinkosum and Terrell Scott's attorney, Phil Lauer. See a film of the Florida judge vs. public defender below.

8.  Indefinite detention with trials denied ordinarily happens to black youths like Nyamodi or mentally ill Americans like Terrell Scott, because those defendants are most susceptible to intimidation. Mississippi has two mentally ill black men imprisoned and awaiting trials for seven and eight years. Apparently, the Mississippi inmates were not tortured as effectively as Nyamodi and Scott were.

9.  Terrell Scott was beaten so badly while imprisoned that he allegedly lost his hearing in one ear and his eyesight in one eye, and his jaw is misaligned. Terrell was made the cellmate of an HIV-positive inmate whose colostomy bag would overfill with infected urine and blood that spilled onto the floor of their small cell. Terrell had to clean the floor without latex gloves. Terrell was spat upon in his eyes with HIV-infected saliva, then tried to commit suicide because he knew he had been exposed to the HIV virus on top of being indefinitely detained without trial. Terrell was in a coma for a period of time. When Terrell recovered, he was thrown into torturous solitary confinement. 

10.  Scott withstood unbearable torture during five years of incarceration with trial denied after reporting child abuse that was investigated and found to be happening to Crystal's children. When the court calendared a trial date for Scott, either Phil Lauer, who was Scott's attorney, would ask for a continuance or the prosecutor would claim falsely that Scott was in a mental hospital and unavailable for trial. The prosecutor told this lie although Scott was imprisoned and awaiting his opportunity defend himself before a jury of his peers. 

11. No punitive action was taken against either officer of the court for conspiring to prevent due process of law for Terrell Scott, who is now back in prison for the "crime" of missing probation meetings, two while he was still incarcerated and one while he was committed to a mental hospital being treated for PTSD caused by the Pennsylvania injustice system. A hearing on Terrell's probation violation charge is scheduled for June 27.

12. Incredibly, Terrell's family retained yet another corrupt attorney to represent him. Glennis L. Clark, Esq. did not even bother to show up for his client's first hearing, but what he did do was outrageous. Terrell Scott reported to his mother that Clark prepared an Order that Judge Zito signed ordering Terrell into prison for six months as a drug/alcohol offender. Terrell has never used street drugs or alcohol. Neither has he ever failed a drug test or been charged with any violations regarding drunkenness or illegal drugs. Terrell is mentally ill and was at risk for abuse from inmates who are drug addicts and detoxing. 

13.  The U.S. justice system refuses to respect the human rights of mentally disabled people. My brother, Larry Neal, was secretly arrested and murdered in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003. His wrongful death was denied any inquest, investigation, and explanation, and his family is denied records about his fatal arrest. This happened although Shelby County Jail had already been sued by the USA for its pattern of abusing inmates' civil rights and placed under the jurisdiction of the United States Department of Justice (USDOJ). When Larry was murdered, the USDOJ helped to cover-up the inmate's death rather than following the proper protocol. Larry's family endured lawyer fraud by The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, which defrauded the Neals to keep the secret murder out of civil court, and we have been been financially persecuted, intimidated, and censored for nearly eleven years to keep Larry Neal's kidnapping and murder a government secret. 

14.  With the recent unexplained jailhouse death of Eileen DiNino, 55, of Reading, we learned that Pennsylvania is also locking up poor women, white and black, for small fines having to do with truant children. This is a cruel, lawless society where our most vulnerable citizens, people who lack wealth and sick people, are mistreated mercilessly by greedy infidels over the justice system who have no respect for God's law or man's. Debtors prisons are illegal, but that does not stop lawless prison investors. People must resist the tendency to tolerate injustices without resistance until they are themselves abused. Apathy is like a fertilizer for lawlessness.

15.  I numbered the TWENTY-ONE (21) paragraphs in this article to discourage stalkers (also known as "vengeful librarians") who ordinarily ignore my right to freedom of press and remove text and photos from my blog articles and hide my radio broadcasts. Stalkers are working right now to hide or corrupt the url to our Wednesday AIMI radio broadcasts at the signature line beneath this article. Our "Human Rights for Prisoners March" Blogtalkradio show taped on May 19 was offline for weeks, and some friends have complained that they are still not allowed to hear it. The show features two psychologists and an international human rights lawyer discussing ways to reduce America's 67.5 percent recidivism rate. Prison investors do not want recidivism reduced. I am censored to impede advocacy against colossal crimes by prison investors, police departments, and the federal government that happen regularly the United States of America.

16. More urls will be added to this article to prove allegations made herein. See in my censored blog, "Human Rights for Prisoners March," at "Pay Bond to Avoid Indefinite Detention" 
http://humanrightsforprisonersmarch.blogspot.com/2014/05/pay-bond-to-avoid-indefinite-detention.html

17. A Florida judge became enraged when public defender refused to waive his client's right to a speedy trial and invited the attorney into the hall to fight. The judge allegedly beat the attorney's head. As the courtroom filled with the sound of forceful blows, the lawyer could be heard crying, "Alright! Alright!" http://youtu.be/rMWlQmea-I0




18.  Apparently, Terrell Scott was again double-crossed by his own attorney. The entire family is suffering from Legal Abuse Syndrome. Holly's father, who hired Phil Lauer, also hired Glennis L. Clark, the defense attorney who did not show up at Scott's first hearing on the probation violation charge. Scott's grandfather left his sickbed and went to the lawyer's office to fire him but was told Clark was not available. The frustration may have contributed to his need for emergency heart surgery last week. Holly Alston, who is still young, had a heart attack during the two months that Terrell was out of prison because of a continuous onslaught against her family by Pennsylvania officials. 

19.  CPS has apparently joined the persecution campaign and threatens Holly's youngest son, Kai, who is 10. (This will be covered in another article.) Treacherous defense attorneys made it necessary for Scott's family to try to manage his defense themselves although they have little knowledge about legal matters. Holly called the prison and was told that Scott should not have been on the detox floor, and he is now back with the general population. A young man like Scott could be worth millions over the course of his lifetime to prison investors, guilt or innocence notwithstanding. This family desperately needs an attorney who is NOT a prison profiteer, if Pennsylvania has any.

20. This article was updated June 23, 2014. This writer notes CoIntelPro interference and will therefore reproduce this article several times in other blogs and send it to other independent news sources for re-publishing. Mary Neal is as determined to have freedom of press as Holly Alston is to keep her family together in 21st century America, which has allegedly entered a post-racial era that no blacks noticed.

21. June 27, 2014 UPDATE: Terrell Scott's hearing was postponed until Wednesday, July 2, 2014. His probation officer was reportedly unavailable for the hearing due to a family emergency. Scott was unable to be assigned a public defender. His treacherous former attorney, Glennis L Clark, Esq., who did not bother to show up for his client's first probation hearing, has refused to remove his name as the acting attorney. He was fired two weeks ago by Terrell's grandfather, who paid for his legal services. The family assumes Clark remains on record as legal counsel on this case simply to block Scott from having adequate representation. More about Terrell Scott's case is in the article entitled "Mom Dies in PA Debtors Prison"

Damion Hayes: Life Sentence for Mental Illness

OCCUPY the U.S. Congress. Ask representatives to pass H.R.3717, Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act (a handy link is provided below). You do not have to have a mentally ill loved one to care. Families in Santa Barbara did not think mental illness was their problem, either, but it was. Condolences to grieving families, and may victims of assault have a speedy recovery.  http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill Blogtalkradio show featured Fred Hayes, father of mentally ill inmate, Damion Hayes, Wednesday, June 4, at 9pm Pacific. 

Mr. Hayes said, "My son shouldn't be in the Florida prison where he has been for 14 years for an assault committed while having a mental health crisis. I will NOT give up the fight for his freedom and treatment. I stand not for Damion only but for all mentally ill inmates in America." 


PETITION: Save Florida Inmate Damion Hayes from SHU 

Hear the taped radio show at the link below. We were joined by Ms. Lillian Eaglefeather, who is the mother of Paul, another a mentally ill American. Each Wednesday night in June, please call (818)572.2947 to speak to Mr. Hayes and other guests. Ask questions or comment on this father's mission to help save his son and other mentally ill Americans.

Family portrait of Damion (left) with his family

Mr. and Mrs. Fred Hayes are the parents of two sons. The oldest grew up to become a law enforcement officer with the Sheriff's Department. Damion, their youngest, developed schizophrenia as a teen. The Hayes family grew alarmed at Damion's violent outbursts, when he would punch holes in their walls with his fists and talk to himself. Before Damion's mental health crisis resulted in an assault on a neighbor, Mr. Hayes took Damion to a mental health center for evaluation and treatment. Damion was kept for two days only, and he was released to his father without any appointment for additional psychiatric treatment and with no prescriptions for psychiatric medication. Not long after that, Damion apparently attacked a middle age neighbor, a woman who was a friend of the family. She was gardening in her yard when the assault happened. The attack was not prompted by any feelings of discord, and it occurred without any discussion between the woman and Damion.

Damion was arrested, tried, and sentenced to LIFE imprisonment. This mentally ill youth was hospitalized for two years to get him "trial ready," then sentenced and imprisoned in a Florida correctional facility. Damion's former cellmate wrote to Mr. Hayes numerous times and told him that his son would talk to himself in the cell at night and have long arguments and even physical confrontations with imaginary enemies. Damion is obviously mentally ill and should be transferred from the prison to which he was overly sentenced for an assault that resulted in no life threatening injuries for his neighbor. Damion should be relocated to a mental hospital and stabilized. Upon release from the hospital, Damion should be placed in an assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) program for his subsistence needs and continuous psychiatric treatment. 

AOT program participants in New York experienced an 85 percent or greater reduction in homelessness, hospitalizations, arrests, and incarceration as compared to their rates three years before entering the Kendra's Law program. AOT programs costs substantially less than incarceration, and community safety is greatly enhanced, as revealed by the reduction in arrests and incarceration among program participants. H.R.3717 has a provision for pilot AOT programs, which have already been certified by the United States Department of Justice.

Damion's arrest photo and information from the Florida DOC

Damion's life was full of promise as a youngster. He is from a middle class Christian family. His father worked in a middle management position until retirement. His mother retired as a civil servant. Damion has a good support base to help him resume wholesome living. He deserves psychiatric treatment, not prison. There are no throwaway people. Damion was wrongly sentenced to life in prison for an assault that (a) resulted from mental illness and (b) caused no catastrophic injuries. Damion's family were amazed when the defense attorney who had charged them $20,000 stood at the end of the prosecutor's case and merely said, "The defense rests." Florida taxpayers were sentenced right along with Damion. Incarcerating this young man indefinitely would cost the State millions of dollars unnecessarily, because many people with schizophrenia respond well to treatment and are able to resume normal lives. Damion's case is being appealed.

Government Murder Without Consequences in USA



Rasheen Rose, homicide victim in Fineson Developmental Center, Queens

Mentally ill citizens of the United States are victims in over 50 percent of police violence incidences. In addition, many mentally ill people are brutalized and murdered behind bars and in hospitals, where it is substantially easier to hide the abuses of power. Occasionally, news about extreme brutality of mentally ill inmates manages to reach the public despite cover-ups: Jerome Murdough was baked to death in Riker's Island Jail; Darrin Rainey was scalded to death in a Dade Correctional Facility's shower; Larry Neal was murdered after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis; James Embry was starved to death in a Kentucky prison; Carlos Umana starved to death in a Utah jail; and Kathia Casseus, 16, a retarded child, was put on birth control, presumably to prevent pregnancy from prison rapes, and died from side effects caused by her Ortho patch. These are only a few examples of inmate murders that happen continuously. 

Abuses to psychiatric hospital inpatients are also notorious. For example, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution identified at least 115 patients from Georgia's state psychiatric hospitals who died under suspicious circumstances between 2002 and 2006. See an excerpt from the report below:

"The newspaper assembled a list of questionable deaths by examining state and federal inspection reports, a database of vital records, autopsies, medical files, court papers, state insurance claims and other documents. This study revealed a pattern of neglect, abuse and poor medical care in the seven state hospitals, as well as a lack of public accountability for patient deaths."

Government employees such as police officers, prison and jail guards, and hospital personnel are ordinarily excused from prosecution for personal injuries and homicides in the United States. Such abuses are less likely to be investigated and lead to prosecution and convictions than dogs' murders. Until now, victims or their families could sue for damages when institutionalized people were injured or killed. Lawsuits are the only barrier to many more such deaths, because so few result in criminal prosecution. Recently, New York claimed the right to be impervious to lawsuits for injuries and deaths of persons who use Medicaid insurance and are murdered in State health care facilities.

Rasheen Rose was killed in Fineson Developmental Center in Queens on August 6, 2012. According to his sister, Rasheen Rose was crushed to death when "at least three staff threw Rose to the ground and one sat on him while other staff stood by." Although the coroner ruled Rose's death a homicide, no criminal complaints were filed to date against his killers. A year after his sister filed a wrongful death lawsuit, New York billed Rose's estate for a $12 million reimbursement for his ten years of treatment using Medicaid insurance. That invoice may exceed the amount of damages recovered from Rose's wrongful death lawsuit and eliminate New York's need to pay anything for his homicide. If you think the remedy would be to raise the amount of plaintiffs' demands for wrongful death lawsuits, please consider that some states have capped the amount of recovery that is possible for personal injury lawsuits.

If the State escapes legal ramifications in the form of criminal prosecution and lawsuits, all institutionalized people are at greater risk for brutality and murder, including elderly people and children in State care homes as well as patients in psychiatric and medical hospitals. Veterans have no right to sue for malpractice in V.A. hospitals, and many of them are neglected, abused, and killed. If personal injury lawsuits will be reduced by the amount the government spent on people's health care and containment over the years, jails and prisons will be free to murder inmates, hospitals are free to murder inpatients and outpatients like the murders at Memorial Medical Center in New Orleans during Katrina. Nobody served a day in jail for killing patients. Nursing homes and orphanages are free to rape and murder their residents throughout America without any fear of reprisal if Medicaid must first be reimbursed for their care. 

Rasheen Rose was a mentally ill black man who was murdered by hospital personnel in New York. His homicide is intended to go without any accountability in criminal or civil actions, since New York sued for recovery of monies spent providing Medicaid. Please consider this: Medicaid is government insurance like Obamacare is.

Since the entire nation is to be government-insured under the Affordable Care Act, this new threat to safety (brutality and murders of patients without financial accountability) also can be applied to you and your family.

According to spokeswoman Jennifer O'Sullivan, the State of New York was following federal Medicaid obligations in seeking reimbursement from the estate of Rasheen Rose. Will the federal government also assign itself the right to recover government funds used to treat people under Obamacare? What about government funds used to incarcerate inmates who are murdered by corrections officers? Will the federal government also assign itself the right to recover student loans and interest fees from the estates of students murdered by police officers like Robert Cameron Redus, a Texas honors student who was fatally shot in his back by police officer Christopher Carter in December 2013? (The officer was not prosecuted and remains on the job to possibly kill other students who get belligerent with him). 


To burden the estates of indigent Medicaid patients with the necessity to share wrongful death settlements with their murderers out of indebtedness to the Government constitutes classism and Nazism that must not be tolerated in this country. Wealth does not really trickle down, but oppression rises like heat. Almost NO government employees are held criminally responsible for brutality and murders of citizens, whether their victims are black like Rasheen Rose and Larry Neal or white like Robert Redus and Kelly Thomas. For the safety of all Americans, I urge you to demand that Rose's sister be awarded the entire amount of her lawsuit's demand for Rose's homicide without any deduction for Medicaid reimbursement. Failure to do so could eventually excuse government employees' brutality and murders of people who receive government benefits (including student loans) as well as inmates incarcerated at government expense and everyone who uses government health care insurance -- INCLUDING YOU.

Elliot Rodger's Crisis at UC Santa Barbara

Elliot Rodger, 22, UC Santa Barbara Shooter 

Again we are reminded that ignoring families experiencing mental health crises is dangerous. Please urge your congressional representatives to support H.R.3717 - "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." The current health care system does not usually act to treat someone unless he/she PROVES through violence to be a danger to self and others. That may help prison investors, but it does nothing to save taxpayers' money, increase community safety, or restore sick people to wholesome lives. Too often, proof comes in bloodshed, which is unfair to the sick people as well as to the community at large. 

Like Sen. Deeds, of Virginia, and many other families, the UC Santa Barbara shooter's family had sought help for Elliot Rodger. They warned police about his threatening messages, but their concerns about Elliot's deteriorating mental health were apparently ignored. May Elliot and his six victims rest in peace. Condolences to families and close friends of those whose lives were tragically and unnecessarily lost. We hope for a speedy recovery for the injured. God bless us all. 

Details about the shooting that have been released to the media are being reported by LA Times. This article will be updated as names of the victims are released and more details are made available. The link below leads to news reports by the Times.
http://www.latimes.com/local/lanow/la-me-ln-isla-vista-shooting-parent-warning-police-son-threats-20140524-story.html

Peter Rodger, Elliot's father, was an assistant director on the 2012 film “The Hunger Games.” He also directed a 2009 documentary, “Oh My God,” in which various people were asked to answer the question, “What is God?” Elliot Rodger made numerous videos warning about his intentions. He complained about being a virgin at age 22 and declared his plan to make girls pay for ignoring him on the "day of retribution." See the video embedded below and at the YouTube link 

I go through so much to publish articles that promote positive change in how America responds to mental illness. We MUST prioritize treatment and relax commitment laws to make it possible for families in crisis to get help their loved ones need BEFORE tragedies. Treatment that precedes crimes will reduce your prison profits, but I urge you to do what is right, not what is expedient or most profitable. My mother sat up many nights during Larry Neal's crises to protect our family and neighbors. My brother Larry was a good person, but he had paranoid schizophrenia. Serious mental illness sometimes causes people to act very irrationally; occasionally, they may act violently. Larry never hurt anyone, but Elliot Rodger did. How horrible for him, his victims, and the families of those whose loved ones are dead, injured, and traumatized tonight. I feel that if I were not so heavily censored, we might be having another conversation right now. You can help by sharing my articles at Dog Justice for Mentally Ill. 

In the final analysis, Elliot Rodger and six other people near UC Santa Barbara lost their lives for the same reason as the Darrin Rainey, a Florida inmate, and Jerome Murdough, a homeless New York inmate, and this writer's brother, Larry Neal, a Tennessee mental patient, and Gus Deeds, a Virginia mental patient: The system awaits a crime to excuse arresting the mentally ill rather than treating people timely and avoiding disasters. See the index that should appear on the right side of the blog. Sometimes stalkers move it as censorship in order to keep placing prison profits before human beings without your objections. Thank you in advance.

Mentally Ill Inmate Murdered by Scalding

Murdered inmate Darrin Rainey (left), and whistleblower inmate Hempstead

Update: It should come as a surprise to nobody who follows cases about brutality and murders of mentally ill inmates in the United States that neither guard who participated in Darrin Rainey's death by scalding will face charges. Investigators determined that there is not enough evidence to charge the guards.
Original Article
While unscrupulous attorneys like Hezekiah Sistrunk are rewarded for defrauding clients to help a jail escape accountability for murdering a mentally ill black man under secret arrest, mentally ill blacks continue to be murdered while incarcerated in America. Darren Rainey, 50, was killed by scalding in Dade Correctional Facility, Florida. His death was similar to the one suffered by Jerome Murdough, in Riker's Island jail in February. Both black inmates died by extreme heat - the closest that correctional officers dared come to lighting a fiery cross and outright lynching them.

The Miami Herald released a report that is extremely disturbing to people who are not sociopaths about tortured and murdered mentally ill inmates. You might be able to hear Mary Neal and Bob Darby, advocates for mental health care, discuss the Miami Herald report at this link, unless prison investors censor ir:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/05/22/bob-darby-advocate-for-the-homeless-mentally-ill

The Miami Herald article reports:

"In his complaint [to the U.S. Department of Justice], George Mallinckrodt, a psychotherapist assigned to the unit from 2008 to 2011, related a series of episodes, including the death of inmate Darren Rainey. The 50-year-old was placed in a small, enclosed, scalding-hot shower by guards and left unattended for more than an hour. He collapsed and died amid the searing heat, suffering severe burns when he fell, face up, atop the drain . . . Richard Mair [who died by hanging] left a suicide note in his shorts accusing guards of sexually abusing inmates and forcing black and white inmates to fight each other for the entertainment of staff . . . [P]rison guards made “sport’’ of agitating the mentally ill inmates, hoping for an excuse to beat or otherwise punish them. If the inmates threatened to file a complaint, the guards would tell them they could be written up for something they didn’t do, or confined to their cell 24 hours a day."

Reports about Rainey's murder and other abuses were sent to:
~ Warden Jerry Cummings
~ the inspector general
~ the U.S. Department of Justice
~ Gov. Rick Scott
~ the Miami Herald

In his letter to the Department of Justice, Mallinckrodt said that after Rainey’s death, a nurse called him saying she had overheard a corrections officer remark: “I don't think we can get away with this one” (Miami Herald).

In my experience, correctional officers will indeed get away with Darren Rainey's torture and murder. This is how America's mentally ill citizens are mistreated in jails and prisons throughout the country. The number of dead mentally ill inmates is very high, because their murders are not visible to the public like the fatal beating of Kelley Thomas was. Inmates' murders are frequently covered up by the government agencies that are paid by taxpayers to guarantee the safety of Americans with disabilities. 

Rather than taking action against the killers, the system is more likely to punish the whistleblowers. After his reports, George Mallinckrodt was fired by Corizon Health Inc., the outside company contracted to provide mental health services at the prison. Inmate Harold Hempstead, who initially reported Rainey's brutal murder, is left in the Dade Correctional Facility despite requests from his family to Gov. Scott for his transfer. Hempstead is being threatened with bodily harm for exposing how correctional officers "do business" there. The Miami Herald reports, "Two years later, no one has been charged [with Rainey's murder], and the Miami-Dade Medical Examiner’s Office has yet to complete an autopsy."

The failure to investigate and prosecute after Rainey's murder is typical of America's justice system. Nearly 11 years after my mentally ill brother's murder, the secret arrest and death of Larry Neal in Shelby County Jail in Memphis, Tennessee remains without investigation, and his family is denied any reports about his 18 days of secret incarceration and murder. Our requests for help have gone to a list of government officials, human and civil rights organizations, and media companies that is significantly longer than the list of help requests for Dade County prisoners. Like Mallinckrodt and Hempstead, the Neal family is persecuted for reporting Larry Neal's murder and and seeking justice. Furthermore, The (Johnnie) Cochran Firm, which pretended under contract to act as the Neal family's wrongful death attorneys, is frequently awarded for "excellence" by legal professionals who know about The Cochran Firm's racism and continuous frauds against its African American clients.

Media companies, the Better Business Bureau, and state bar associations refuse to report The Cochran Firm's frauds. The secrecy allows more families to be similarly defrauded so that prisons, jails, and municipalities save money on wrongful death civil actions. Unfortunately, the family of Jerome Murdough, an inmate who was baked to death in Riker's Island jail in February, is now represented by The Cochran Firm frauds. Censorship by media companies and cyber attacks against Internet communications ensure that families of murdered mentally ill inmates remain vulnerable to legal abuse. Censorship and terrorism against whistleblowers protect jails and prisons like Dade Correctional Facility and Shelby County Jail. For instance, mental health advocate Mary Neal hosted a radio show on May 19. Guests included two psychologists and one international human rights attorney to discuss America's high recidivism rate. Censorship prevents her from accessing the interview at Blogtalkradio. Please see if "they" will let you listen:

Government agencies totally disregard their responsibility to ensure the right to free speech about prison issues and the right to life for mentally ill Americans, especially prisoners. Murders of America's mentally dysfunctional people are crimes that are less prosecuted than dog abuse, especially if victims were African Americans like Darren Rainey, Larry Neal, and Jerome Murdough.

Florida and Tennessee are both death penalty states. To date, no policeman or correctional officer there has ever faced the possibility of capital punishment for the wrongful death of any citizens, although inmates' murders are common in those states and throughout the USA. Some people may believe the Dade Correctional Facility should be investigated by the U.S. Department of Justice and placed under federal overview to resolve its abusive treatment of mentally ill inmates. When Larry Neal was secretly arrested and murdered in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003, the jail was already under federal overview after investigation and lawsuit by the USA. Apparently, federal overview merely ensures suppression of news reports regarding such inmate murders and better surveillance, intimidation, and persecution of victims' families and others who are considered whistleblowers.

The Miami Herald is to be congratulated for its news reports regarding Darren Rainey's murder and ongoing brutality to other mentally ill inmates. A bill is before the U.S. Congress which would offer relief to mentally ill Americans, if it is passed: H.R.3717, the "Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act." The health care bill provides four important changes in how America's mentally ill citizens are treated:
1) Medicaid insurance for inpatient treatment in some facilities
2) assisted outpatient treatment (AOT) programs for subsistence assistance and mandated treatment
3) crisis intervention training for police and correctional officers
4) relaxed HIPPA laws, allowing families to know more about their sick relatives' condition and treatment

The abuses and murders of black mental patients like Neal, Rainey, and Murdough happen regularly throughout America, but Democrats are less likely than Republicans to support the congressional bill that would help. In fact, certain members of the Congressional Black Caucus recently withdrew their support from H.R.3717: Cedric Richmond (Louisiana) and Gwen Moore (Wisconsin). Leaving mental patients to continue to suffer homelessness, imprisonment, and avoidable deaths must seem more desirable to these lawmakers than making hospitalization and community treatment possible and properly training officers who are first responders or prison guards who are too often their caretakers. Nobody can punish the mentally ill into a state of sound-mindedness, and no one should be imprisoned for having a health disability. Please support H.R.3717, and replace expensive, abusive imprisonment with mental health treatment in the United States of America.

HOW YOU CAN HELP

Please join Harold Hempstead's family in requesting Governor Scott to immediately transfer the inmate who reported Rainey's murder to another facility and guarantee his safety. Also, please ask these people to stop flying helicopters over my house to terrorize me as I type articles advocating for justice and compassion for the mentally ill in America. Contact your congressional representatives and candidates and speak to them in favor of H.R.3717. Contact the United States Department of Justice and request an investigation of Dade Correctional Facility and Darren Rainey's murder in a scalding shower. Demand prosecution of all abusive correctional officers. Write to the Gate City Bar Association in Atlanta and to the Mass Torts Made Perfect (MTMP) Committee and object to their awards which were made to Hezekiah Sistrunk, Esq., president of The Cochran Firm frauds' law firm. Withholding justice to grieving black families is nothing to reward.

Repeat of the first three(3) paragraphs in this article:

While unscrupulous attorneys like Hezekiah Sistrunk are rewarded for defrauding clients to help a jail escape accountability for murdering a mentally ill black man under secret arrest, mentally ill blacks continue to be murdered while incarcerated in America. Darren Rainey, 50, was killed by scalding in Dade Correctional Facility, Florida. His death was similar to the one suffered by Jerome Murdough, in Riker's Island jail in February. Both black inmates died by extreme heat - the closest that correctional officers dared come to lighting a fiery cross and outright lynching them.

The Miami Herald released a report that is extremely disturbing to people who are not sociopaths about tortured and murdered mentally ill inmates. You might be able to hear Mary Neal and Bob Darby, advocates for mental health care, discuss the Miami Herald report at this link, unless prison investors censor ir:
http://www.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/05/22/bob-darby-advocate-for-the-homeless-mentally-ill

The Miami Herald article reports:

"In his complaint [to the U.S. Department of Justice], George Mallinckrodt, a psychotherapist assigned to the unit from 2008 to 2011, related a series of episodes, including the death of inmate Darren Rainey. The 50-year-old was placed in a small, enclosed, scalding-hot shower by guards and left unattended for more than an hour. He collapsed and died amid the searing heat, suffering severe burns when he fell, face up, atop the drain . . . Richard Mair [who died by hanging] left a suicide note in his shorts accusing guards of sexually abusing inmates and forcing black and white inmates to fight each other for the entertainment of staff . . . [P]rison guards made “sport’’ of agitating the mentally ill inmates, hoping for an excuse to beat or otherwise punish them. If the inmates threatened to file a complaint, the guards would tell them they could be written up for something they didn’t do, or confined to their cell 24 hours a day."

****

It would be illegal to keep a dog in a tight space 23 hours a day and gas or Taser him for barking. It would be illegal to put a dog in deadly restraint for control. But this happens to mentally ill Americans routinely in the nation's jails and prisons. What happened to Larry Neal?

Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Advocate for U.S. Congress to pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. Elect people who promote justice for all. Condolences to the family and close friends of Darren Rainey. Please join Harold Hempstead's family in requesting that Governor Scott immediately transfer the inmate who reported Rainey's murder to another facility and guarantee his safety.

Dr. Earle Williams Joins Human Rights for Prisoners March


Special guests for the "Human Rights for Prisoners March" Blogtalkradio shows next week will be Dr. Earle Williams and Dr. Jean Kennedy. Dr. Williams is a clinical psychologist with over 20 years of professional experience in Forensic Psychology. Dr. Williams is an educator and television commentator as well as a practicing psychologist. One of his missions is to reduce recidivism. Research by the Bureau of Justice Statistics shows that 67.5 percent of released prisoners are rearrested within three years, almost exclusively for felonies or serious misdemeanors. All reentry programs should include counseling ex-offenders on how to avoid recidivism.


Dr. Williams wants to give back by helping released prisoners have a successful reentry. VIDEO http://youtu.be/gVVl3HtaL3A

Organizational psychologist and radio host Dr. Jean Kennedy will also be a guest on both shows. She is currently working with prisoner activist Mary Neal to publish a book to expose and oppose detrimental punishments in America: "Extreme Punishments - SHU and DP." Dr. Kennedy is prepared to explain the organization structure of America's justice system, which contributes to the nation's unacceptable high rate of recidivism.

Current National Statistics on Recidivism
Bureau of Justice Statistics (BJS) studies have found high rates of recidivism among released prisoners. One study tracked 272,111 prisoners in 15 states after their release from prison in 1994.[1] The researchers found that:
Within three years:
~67.5 percent were rearrested (almost exclusively for felonies or serious misdemeanors)
~46.9 percent were reconvicted
~25.4 percent were resentenced to prison for a new crime

The offenders accumulated 4.1 million arrest charges before their most recent imprisonment and another 744,000 charges within three years of release.

Released prisoners with the highest rearrest rates were robbers (70.2 percent), those in prison for possessing, using or selling illegal weapons (70.2 percent), burglars (74.0 percent), larcenists (74.6 percent), those in prison for possessing or selling stolen property (77.4 percent), and motor vehicle thieves (78.8 percent).

Within three years, 2.5 percent of released rapists were arrested for another rape, and 1.2 percent of those who had served time for homicide were arrested for another homicide. See NIJ data at

Please listen to and share our radio broadcasts. Many government officials and human rights activists are involved in justice reform. All agree that 2.3 million prisoners are too many. More must be done to reduce incarceration through education, skills training, decriminalizing mental illness and drug addiction, and successful reentry programs. Human rights are for us all!

STOP Killing American Elders, Police!


It appears that in addition to the death penalty race, America has added a new contest: Who can kill the oldest Americans? So far, Arkansas leads in that sport, with SWAT having killed 107-year-old Monroe Isadore in summer 2013. Atlanta police killed 92-year-old Kathryn Johnston in 2006. Numerous police departments have killed senior citizens who were over 80 years old, Caucasians and blacks alike. New York police might have killed an elderly Asian man for jaywalking last year, but his blow to the head was not fatal. New York police had better luck with Kenneth Chamberlain, Sr. Police invaded Chamberlain's home and murdered him (beating, Tasering, and shooting) when his life alert called emergency by accident.

STOP KILLING AMERICAN ELDERS, POLICE!

The latest geriatric victim was a 93-year-old woman who was shot and killed by a police officer at her Hearne, Texas home near Dallas. Pearlie Golden, known in the neighborhood as Ms. Sully, was pronounced dead at St. Joseph Hospital after having been shot at least five times, according to witnesses. Officer Stephen Stem is on administrative leave. Ms. Sully was reportedly walking around outside with a gun, probably suffering from old age #dementia . Police officers have Tasers but prefer bullets for our elderly citizens. Happy Mother's Day, Ms. Sully.

Many senior citizens suffer from age-onset dementia. Mental illness is the most fatal disease in America, thanks to the lack of accountability for murders by police.
