Prison activist/jail-house lawyer Sean Pressley known as "Abdul" was held in punitive segregation for 13-yrs under brutal treatment by Pennsylvania Department of Corrections central office, administrators, and custodial staff.

Abdul was once identify by central office as a problematic prisoner and placed on the notorious [RESTRICTED RELEASE LIST] as one of the state's worst of the worst prisoners.

In sum, I am impress with Abdul litigation skills for someone who don't have a G.E.D., high school diploma, and no training as a law student. By the same token, managed to study law as a pro se litigant and won a cases in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals and District Court level on behalf of prisoners challenging prison conditions.

In closing, welcome back on general population after many years of oppression in punitive segregation. You deserved a break. You survived so much abuse by custodial staff in [SPECIAL MANAGEMENT] all for the love of liberation, struggle, and humanity. Indeed, you have the wounds to prove it and stood up for the mentally ill prisoners when nobody heard their cries at night in punitive segregation.

My advice to you as a friend, comrade in the struggle and somebody who also been in punitive segregation for 12-yrs. Go home and be with your beautiful family, you deserve it, and also help our at-risk youth.

In struggle
In solidarity
Stay Alert
Stiff resistance
