Georgia opens first prison charter school

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
FORSYTH —Behind barbed-wire fences and imposing guard towers, the painstaking work has begun across Georgia on building a new education prison system.

About 250 educators, administrators and other staffers have been hired to teach prisoners. Nearly 100 inmates have signed up for charter school courses. And 19 high school diplomas have already been awarded in a pilot program. But the evolving program is about to face its biggest test. The first of what Gov. Nathan Deal envisions to be a statewide network of prison-based charter schools officially opened Thursday at the Burruss Correctional Training Center in Middle Georgia, and state policymakers and education analysts will carefully chart its progress.

Already, a pilot program known as the Mountain Education Charter School has shown success at a women’s prison in North Georgia. But a second phase launched Thursday forms the backbone of Deal’s plan to ensure that thousands of inmates released from cells in prisons such as Burruss never return

“If you don’t have a high school diploma or you don’t have a marketable skill when you are released from prison, you’re not safe in our society. Desperation will set in,” the governor said. “And all of us will pay the price for that desperation.” Continue reading at the AJC

Kathia Casseus, 16, Murdered Teenage Sex Slave in USA Detention


Add Kathia Casseus to "Shattered Families" Memorial Credits

How can you help Kathia Casseus, a retarded teenager, be featured among the memorials in the "Shattered Families" movie credits? Kathia was sentenced to serve eight months in a Kansas juvenile facility after going joyriding in her mom's car and having a small accident. Shortly after arriving at the juvenile facility, she was put on birth control, likely to make it safe for guards to rape her. Kathia was allergic to the Ortho Evra birth control patch that Children's Mercy Hospital prescribed for Kathia without her mother's knowledge. When Kathia complained about heart pain and not being able to breathe, no medical care was rendered. Instead, she was dumped in a solitary confinement cell, where she died.

Write Kathia's name in a comment as you make a donation at Indiegogo to help produce the movie by noted psychiatrist and best selling author, Stephen Stephen B Seager. Your name and Kathia's name and her photograph will then appear in the film's credits. Make the world aware of the mass incarceration and avoidable deaths of mentally challenged Americans. Expose and oppose wrongful deaths like Kathia suffered. Details are in this article:
http://dogjusticeformentallyill.blogspot.com/2015/09/add-kathia-casseus-to-shattered.html

Connect with the fundraiser and read more information at
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/shattered-families#/story
Please give whatever amount you can. Nothing is too small or too big. The movie is called "Shattered Families: The Collapse of America's Mental Health System."

Please be aware that Senator Bernie Sanders, a U.S. presidential candidate, introduced legislation on September 17, 2015, to eliminate the private prison system in America. Sanders said that his campaign would also focus on ending the War on Drugs, which AIMI members know is actually a war against drug addicts and their families. With mental health professionals like Stephen B. Seager, M.D. and public officials like Senator Sanders and Congressman Tim Murphy (PA-18) and Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson and their co-sponsors striving to improve justice in America, we may soon arrive at positive change. Wrongful incarceration, prison abuse, and deadly lunacy arrests are the greatest crises that people with mental health challenges face in the USA.

"Everything hidden will be revealed" ~Bible

Do hackers at Facebook prevent the post below because:
1) They favor putting teenage girls in juvenile facilities on birth control to be raped by corrections officers?
2) They want to hide the fact that Kathia, 16, died of side effects of Ortho birth control patches, which she was prescribed by Mercy Children's Hospital in Kansas to prevent her pregnancy after repeated rapes?
3) They hate that Stephen B. Seager, M.D., a psychiatrist and best-selling author is producing "Shattered Families," a movie that will expose the mass incarceration and wrongful deaths of mentally ill Americans?
4) They oppose Senator Bernie Sanders' newly introduced bill to eliminate private prisons and jails in America?
5) They oppose H.R.2646, a congressional bill introduced by Rep. Tim Murphy and Rep. Eddie Bernice Johnson and supported by many co-sponsors to help decriminalize mental illness in the USA?
6) They object to Mary Neal posting news about mentally ill Americans' mass incarceration, prison abuses, and wrongful deaths because such posts bring more attention to the "Wrongful Death of Larry Neal," her mentally, physically disabled brother, who was secretly arrested for 18 days and murdered in Memphis Shelby County Jail in 2003?
7) They seek to shield The Cochran Firm frauds, who defrauded the Neals to prevent Larry's wrongful death case from being tried in court?
8) They seek to hide the fact that The Cochran Firm has been determined by United States District Court, Central District of California, to have "unclean hands" and has been declared not to be "a law firm"?
9) They hate the fact that Sen. Bernie Sanders announced that he will fight to end the War on Drugs, which is really a war against drug addicts and their families, and they are prison investors?
10) Facebook was reportedly initially funded by the CIA and Vanguard, a prison investment firm?
11) They are Donald Trump supporters and have been ordered to censor news favorable to Sen. Sanders?
12) Or is my censorship at Facebook simply because I am a Black woman who tries to improve justice for the most vulnerable citizens in America, and according to Mike Huckabee, the Dred Scott Decision is still in effect? U.S. Supreme Court Justice Taner pronounced in the "Dred Scott" case that "black people have no rights that white people are bound to honor." Although that decision was supposedly made moot by the 14th Amendment of the USA, Huckabee says it is still the law of the land, which seems to be true, judging by the amount of unrequited murders of Black people under the color of law in America, like Larry Neal and thousands of others.

Sen. Sanders' Justice is Not For Sale Act, co-sponsored by Reps. Raúl M. Grijalva (D-AZ), Keith Ellison (D-MN) and Bobby L. Rush (D-IL), would prohibit the federal government from entering contracts with private prison corporations within two years of the bill’s enactment. Instead, state and local government will be solely responsible for overseeing state and local correctional facilities.

Shannon Nyamodi's not a Juvenile, But YOUR Kids Are

Justice for Shannon Nyamodi Telephone Campaign


North Carolina has traumatized an innocent, black teenager for too long without us doing something to help Shannon Nyamodi and his mother, Elizabeth Crudup. It is time for justice-minded people to act. Please call all the officials on the list below, which includes phone and fax numbers, even if you only call one a day.

Shannon Nyamodi has had two birthdays in the Franklin County Detention Center without being convicted of any crime. None of the ordinary methods of fighting wrongful arrests have helped Shannon, who was charged with attempted murder of a Caucasian woman who he actually helped after a white person shot her, according to witnesses who saw the white man fleeing from Rhonda's house. Shannon was arrested a few hours after he helped the injured woman into his friends' home, which is several houses away from Rhonda's house. She had stumbled there and collasped on the porch. Lucky for her that Shannon saw her. He even flagged down emergency responders who were called.


Somebody shot and robbed Rhonda on August 16, 2012. Shannon Nyamodi happened to be the only black youth around, so he was arrested. Shannon was originally charged with stealing Rhonda's 22-calliber rifle, also, but it was found in her bedroom where it belonged. In a few days, most of the $65,000 was found, too - in an abandoned house. Shannon was arrested the same day Rhonda was shot, but a couple of days after his arrest, a Caucasian youth falsely alleged that Shannon knew Rhonda's daughter and corresponded with her on Facebook. He also falsely claimed that Shannon had asked him on Facebook if he could help Shannon get a gun. A search of Facebook records proved the Caucasian youth lied about both assertions. There was absolutely no correspondence between Shannon and the victim's daughter or the white kid who made the allegations. Drawing everyone's attention to Facebook was a bad idea, since the picture on the Caucasian guy's page was one of him surrounded by money, posted on August 17, the day after Rhonda's robbery.

Elizabeth Crudup could really use our help advocating for Shannon Nyamodi. This article is not for entertainment. The people I write about are really experiencing cruelty by the system and require your help. Elizabeth Crudup was beaten by Dunn, North Carolina police on Friday, March 14, and arrested for resisting arrest. That was probably to prevent her from speaking on two popular radio shows about her son's indefinite detention without trial and his torture in solitary confinement to break him mentally and enforce a plea deal. A false confession would let everyone off the hook, and there would be no chance of ever arresting the real robber and shooter who they seem to be protecting. 

Elizabeth and supporters plan to picket the courthouse today at lunchtime. People throughout America should also go to their local jails or courthouses with "Justice for Shannon Nyamodi" signs either at lunchtime or after work. Show racists that the Shannon Nyamodi matter is already well known, so there is no need for further beatings and arrests of Shannon's mother. There is no way to keep this silent.

Please call the seven officials listed below and notify them that know that you know and care about justice for Shannon Nyamodi. We believe the denial of Shannon's Sixth Amendment rights and solitary confinement torture and the police brutality against Elizabeth Crudup are meant to enforce "What's done in North Carolina stays in North Carolina." When officials get phone calls from states all over the USA and beyond, from African Americans and Caucasians alike, they will understand that we all care about Shannon Nyamodi's right to have a fair, public trial immediately or be released immediately. We care about the U.S. Constitution and our own Sixth and Fourteenth Amendment rights. 

NC officials to call and write and demand that Shannon Nyamodi be treated justly. He should also be given an attorney, since his own lawyer works against him. Nyamodi should be tried or released.

If people in Franklin County, North Carolina want to protect the real robber and shooter, that is unfortunate. But framing Shannon Nyamodi and torturing him in solitary confinement for the better part of two years to force a false confession and avoid trial are not acceptable. Attorney Klinkosum also needs to return the $50k he allegedly charged to "defend" Shannon. Writing one letter after a year and a half to ask the court for a continuance in this case because he is too "busy" to go to trial is unacceptable for that kind of money. Nobody wants to be represented by a defense lawyer who works with the prosecutor against them, anyway. 

North Carolina is one of the states that enforced sterilization on blacks from the 1930's to the 1970s to prevent births of African Americans. Well Shannon Nyamodi was already born, and he was born in the United States of America after the Civil War. That makes him an American citizen, not a North Carolina slave. If ANY officials intend to run for reelection, they should do their jobs and get this innocent youth home to his family.

UPDATE:  Without notice to Shannon Nyamodi or his family, Shannon was transferred to a North Carolina prison. He was relieved to be out of solitary and away from the sheriff. For approximately two weeks, he was allowed visits with his family, phone calls, and the opportunity to communicate with other inmates. He wrote a letter firing Klinkosum and filed it with the court, in hopes that the court would appoint him another attorney or that one of the attorneys his mother had communicated with would accept his case pro bono. Everyone felt relieved and optimistic. However, it was apparently a trick.

After two weeks, Shannon was transferred without warning back to the Franklin County Jail and remanded again to solitary confinement. Klinkosum then visited Shannon and coerced the traumatized youth into signing a plea deal. Authorities had shown Shannon that prison didn't have to be as torturous as he had endured for two years in solitary. The mind game worked, and Shannon signed the false confession. Shannon Nyamodi was sentenced to prison for 10 years, having been denied his right to trial as stated in the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The system was saved from prosecuting the person(s) who really did this crime, and another innocent black man is behind bars.

Cybersecurity and Censorship


Advocacy to save people, even children, from the prison industrial complex is censored. To my dismay, I found that some of my blogs are listed as "unrated." Please see the approved safety rating at the end of this article. My blogs are all at Blogger, and Google is one of the most respected Internet companies. My blogs only endanger hypocrites in the injustice system, where many lawyers, prosecutors, judges and lawmakers are prison investors who benefit financially every time someone is imprisoned, whether innocent or guilty, every time someone is denied DNA tests or a new trial to present post-conviction evidence that might lead to exoneration, and every time a mental hospital, care home for the mentally ill, or a drug treatment center is closed or downsized, which leads to crimes and eventual imprisonment.

My censorship is generally accomplished by taking over my personal computers and laptops and putting them on an Intranet over which I am not the administrator. This happens immediately after I purchase a new computer or have one wiped clean and Windows re-installed in my continuous attempts to have the freedom of press Americans are promised. Occasionally, the saboteurs censor me in ways that cannot be done by taking over my computers, because I have no ability to manipulate major Internet sites. Perhaps they buy help from within those Internet companies, or they may have ultimate control over every Internet company in the USA. I believe the later option is correct. Two days ago, I opened a "Scoop.it!" account, and saboteurs changed my password. I went to the site and requested a new password, and the email I received from "Scoop.It!" was empty. Saboteurs on America's Internet censorship force can change or delete part or all of the text in emails and on web sites, remove signatures from petitions, redirect your browser, redirect your links, issue denial of service (DOS) for censored persons or censored Internet sites, manipulate the number of hits that register on your websites and videos, and more. They can make it appear that emails you receive come from friends' email accounts in order to deceitfully communicate with you.

Cyberstalkers prevent my using TalkShoe conference call service probably because audio broadcasts are less vulnerable to surreptitious Changes they make to websites. That is not to say audio broadcasts are safe. Saboteurs interject pauses in the audio for videos and taped Internet radio broadcasts, corrupt the sound to the point that the playback is inaudible, and they had one of my 10-minute YouTube videos to stop after 2.5 minutes (see "Cochran Firm Fraud videos 1 and 2 at YouTube). After a huge outcry by my Care2 friends who had seen the videos in their entirety, cyberstalkers put the rest of the video back online. Live broadcasts are censored by interjecting static over speakers' voices or taking over speakers' phones and hanging up or preventing the calls from going through in the first place. I was allowed to record only one episode of "MaryLovesJustice Show" at TalkShoe. I had to have an intermediary  to accomplish it: "Stop Executions in Bible Belt States." The next week, our topic was "Are Whistleblowers Persecuted in America?" Cyberstalkers hung up my phone repeatedly and interjected static over my voice to such an extent as to make the tape of the broadcast nearly useless. When we first taped "Stop Executions in Bible Belt States," the sound was clear. Stalkers have since then added pauses and corrupted the sound in certain places in the broadcast. They are very pro-execution, anti-God, racist Nazis who hire Georgia Negroes to follow me and do much of, if not all of, the Internet censorship I experience.

It is my belief that the government pays for my censorship, because police refuse to address my stalking online or in person. On Saturday, January 15, 2011, a young man actually confessed that he was hired to stalk me. He followed me to the library where I was forced to use the Internet since my home computer had been destroyed. He was driving a red V6 Cavalier - DeKalb County license tag BKP8027. The man looked so much like Micheal Moon that I asked if they were related. The stalker indicated that he was indeed related to Michael Moon (the computer technician who invaded my home in February 2010, destroyed my computers, and extorted $80 from my aged mother and me for a wipe clean/re-install of Windows). I asked the young man why he stalked me to the library. He said, "Because it pays well." When saboteurs follow me to the library, they are able to manipulate the computer I use there almost as well as they do my home PCs. Police refused to run the stalker's license number and question him. Neither will police use the IP addresses my computer security system captured to locate and stop my censorship. The IP addresses are in this article:

Excerpt: Right now there are four cyberstalkers breaking through my security. My security program reports: Deny PortScan Attack from Remote Host 192.168.1.254. The cyberstalkers' attack continued, and they got won. Now I cannot go to Twitter, send emails, or log in at Yahoo Answers. My security program reported: IE Sent Data to Remote Host 67.215.253.140; IE Sent Data to Remote Host 74.125.159.191; IE Sent Data to Remote Host 74.125.67.191; and Application "SYSTEM" sent data to Remote Host 67.125.253.140. (The IP addresses were captured in 2011, so the censorship team probably Changed them by now.)

Below is the latest information from Google regarding the safety level of my main blog, "EXPOSED: FreeSpeakBlog," which is at this link http://FreeSpeakBlog.blogspot.com . I hereby ask all Internet security rating companies to adjust the safety rating for FreeSpeakBlog accordingly or show just cause to rate the site differently.

Thank you for your interest in justice news and viewpoints as relayed by this layperson. My advice to human/civil rights advocates is to invest in a printer and stamps, and use them, plus use in-person meetings and rallies. Online communication is compromised, and what you see is not necessarily what others see when they visit your websites or read your emails.

Save Living Trayvons


TRAYVON MARTIN WAS a youth who lost his life to violence. Unfortunately, there are many Trayvons who are killed or injured or imprisoned every day - young men who are minorities or of the working class. This blog will tell their stories. Together, we will give their victimization the attention deserved. We will work for justice on behalf of more Trayvon Martins who lost their lives or suffered catastrophic injuries wrongly and attempt to save some Trayvon Martins who face wrongful incarceration. This blog will tell their stories, carry petitions, and remind us all of a handsome teen who probably died because he wore a hoodie and liked Skittles.

Please don't let Trayvon Martin's death be in vain. Give attention to the young people you read about in this JUVENILE JUSTICE blog and other news sources. Help them, please, or assist their families' justice quests. Let no murder, abuse, or wrongful prosecution go without your help to expose and oppose the injustice. By consistently demanding accountability for our children, we can reduce or even eliminate abuses of power altogether. Let us henceforth be so vigilant that the Zimmermans of the world will count the costs before harming any child.

AS YOU MIGHT EXPECT, a living Trayvon Martin already needs your help. His name is Matthew Moore. Please read the summary below and email Attorney General Eric Holder in support of Matthew Moore using this link AskDOJ@usdoj.gov


Matthew Moore was falsely accused of indecent exposure by a senior female educator while he worked at his school when he was 17 years old in 2009. Working at the school had been Moore's summer job for two years when the 51-year-old educator accused Matthew of walking in the hall behind her with his private parts showing. Matthew was suspended on the basis of the woman's unsubstantiated allegations despite inconsistencies in her story. Matthew's mother, Katherine Conner, asked to see film from cameras in the school's hall that could possibly show what happened, but her request was denied. Conner questioned Matthew's accuser about inconsistencies in the educator's story and actions that Conner found suspicious. The woman became angry and pressed charges against Matthew.

The District Attorney in their Louisiana parish also served as Legal Counsel to the School Board. He already had a vendetta against Conner because she had filed complaints against him and a judge over a year before Matthew was suspended.
Katherine Conner had a dispute with an unlicensed contractor from Mississippi who repaired  her home after Katrina. The contract between Conner and the contractor required her to pay $7,000 up front and $7,000 upon completion of the work. The contractor asked for and received monies for material purchases several times from Conner during the project. However, when the job was done, Conner's contractor did not subtract those pre-payments from her balance due. Katherine Conner had so much going on when the sub-contractor presented her with a final bill and she wrote him a check for the full $7,000. Immediately after the contractor left her home with her check, Conner remembered the money she had already paid. She called the contractor and asked for him to return the check so she could deduct the amount she already paid. The contractor refused to return Conner's check and accept payment in the correct amount, so Conner canceled the check.

Katherine Conner's contractor accused her of theft of services. She was arrested, prosecuted and convicted regarding a matter that seemed more appropriate for civil court. Conner wrote a complaint against the judge and prosecutor. It appears that the court retaliated against Conner through her son.

Matthew is a young man of fine character. He is a respectful, hard working young man who had a lovely girlfriend his own age. Until recently, Matthew and Katherine thought they had a witness - another student. But some boys started a fight with Matthew's witness, and the youth was put on probation as a result. At this point, the witness's mother will not let him testify for Matthew out of fear that her own child would be further penalized if he helps Matthew. A major civil rights organization to which  Katherine Conner was a member also declined to help Matthew and recommended that she go to another human/civil rights organization. Minorities in Katherine's parish feel intimidated by the power and ruthlessness of the court. Conner said Matthew's attorney is also a disappointment to them as he seems afraid to present all the evidence and subpoena the video from the school's camera.

Matthew is so concerned about COURT ON APRIL 23, 2012, that he went from 130 pounds to around 100 pounds within months. PLEASE PRAY FOR MATTHEW MOORE AND CONTACT THE USDOJ FOR HIM. DO YOUR BEST TO SOLICIT HELP FOR MATTHEW FROM PEOPLE WHO WOULD CARE ABOUT A PROMISING YOUTH BEING RAILROADED INTO PRISON AS RETALIATION FOR HAVING AN OUTSPOKEN BLACK MOTHER WHO THOUGHT SHE HAD RIGHTS LIKE I ONCE DID. Neither Katherine Conner nor her son had ever experienced any trouble with the law prior to the debacle with the contractor. Please agree it is unacceptable that a fine young man may lose years of his life behind bars as punishment for having an outspoken mom.

Please help to save Matthew Moore, a living Trayvon Martin. He is guilty of nothing and should not lose his freedom or even his life in prison because his mother stood up for herself in their Louisiana parish.



********
Trayvon Martin's shooting death gets exceptional attention, and  his outrageous murder helped raise awareness about tragedies that are all too common among our youths. Insist on the same accountability for every murder, abuse, and wrongful prosecution that minority and working class youths suffer.  Whenever we expose and oppose injustice against a young person, we make the world safer for living Trayvons. Help show the Zimmermans of America that we won't take it any longer. We are all Trayvon Martin! We are all Matthew Moore!

Blessings,
Mary Neal
