White House Petition

I have started a blog on the White House website petitioning the President of the United States to help me and my peers (see attachment). To everyone who reads my blog PLEASE go to my petition on the White House website and sign it today.

WE PETITION THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION TO:
Support legislation prohibiting the use of prolonged isolation, calling for an investigation of the ADX prison.

The administrative Maximum U.S. Penitentiary in Florence, Colorado houses hundreds of mentally ill inmates in solitary confinement leading to further deterioration of their mental health due to abuse and neglect. Jeremy Pinson, along with others at the facility, has filed a class action lawsuit but the Courts are not enough. Solitary confinement is defined as torture under international law. We the undersigned ask President Obama to support legislation prohibiting the use of prolonged isolation, calling for an investigation of the ADX prison, and having our nation exact the Convention against Torture and International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I hope I have transcribed everything that you wanted, I thought writing out too much of the headers and footers would detract from it so I kept it to the main text.
