We are trying to get the Governor and the Prison's to outlaw the use of Restrains in the Jails and Prison's. As a result of Jackson Prison using Restrains on my 21 year old Son in August 2006, he Died, after 4 days of lying naked and Restrained, sped eagle, to a steel table with no help.
KALAMAZOO -- The use of four-point restraints as punishment for prison inmates meets the American Medical Association's definition of torture and should be discontinued, a doctor appointed by a federal judge to monitor health care in Michigan's prisons testified Friday.
We as Citizen's of the Human Race are requiring the removal of restrains in Prison's and Jail's, now. KALAMAZOO -- The use of four-point restraints as punishment for prison inmates meets the American Medical Association's definition of torture and should be discontinued, a doctor appointed by a federal judge to monitor health care in Michigan's prisons testified Friday.The continued use of restraints is "likely to result in future deaths," Robert Cohen warned U.S. District Judge Richard Enslen. He blamed the Aug. 6 death of Timothy Joe Souders, a 21-year-old mentally ill inmate, on the fact he was shackled atop a steel table in the Southern Michigan Correctional Facility in Jackson for most of four days during a heat waveThere should be no policy for maintaining prisoners in punitive restraints. It was that policy that led to his death." And we demand that this Policy be Out-Lawed before anyone else gets a Death Sentence from State employee's using torture to punish Inmates, and the Mentally Ill.
Lets start protecting those who can not protect their self's.
Jails and Prisons are supposed to rehabilitate, and house Inmates, Not deliver Torture and Death Sentences.
