URGENT CALL FOR ACTION!

We have received some disturbing news from our comrade Kenneth Foster Jr., who was commuted off of death row on August 30th 2007 and since then housed at the McConnell Unit in Beeville, TX. Kenneth has alerted that he and many of the men he is stationed with in Close Custody have been repeatedly denied their recreation time. This is in direct violation with TDCJ policy and constitutes inhumane treatment of inmates. Men have gone days at a time without leaving their cells. Kenneth expressed to me that this isolation has 'driven him to the breaking point' and he is 'about to go off'.

Kenneth has asked us to relay a plea for support from his comrades, abolitionists and supporters. Bellow you can find a sample letter, or petition of grievance for download. That can be either directly copied or personalized and then mailed in to the addresses listed bellow. This is a small step toward improving the day-to-day experiences of our fighters on the inside and is a gesture that would be greatly appreciated. An individual complaint should be mailed to each of the 6 addresses. If you are able to help in this matter, please Email Us to better track the grievance process.

Kenneth will keep us updated on the treatment of his level and to supply further details into this matter. A close friend of Kenneth's visited him just before the new year and he was in good health and has a sharp focus on our future struggles.
