Subject: First Amendment violation

On Saturday June 26, 2021 I wrote the below article which as you see is extremely sensitive and must have some truth to it, since they censored over a dozen of my emails. Several emails that included Lt Christian Carter's name, which is the name of the Lt who is involved in this woman's death. Please read the essay and supporting case law.
"HUSH HUSH KEEP IT ON THE DOWN LOW"
Once again the FDOC has been caught up in an unethical and scandalous situation. And their trying to keep it quite as mouse. Yes this story for some reason is being kept hush, hush. Now I've been digging for a couple of week trying to find the blurred lines between the truth and the rumors. And all i can be certain of is this. Three staff members from Union Correctional Institution (UCI) attended the fallen officer memorial ceremony in Tallahassee Florida last month. These three officers rank from Lieutenant, Sgt and CO and they were out on leave. The Lt showed up several weeks back but hasn't been seen since. Now I've heard that a woman was found dead in their hotel room. And that the Lieutenants sperm was found inside her corpse. And that the drugs she was given was tied back to a prescription drug of the Lieutenant. Now I've heard this story be told where the officer's were seen on the hotel surveillance camera's, removing her lifeless body from the room, but I believe the most accurate story is she was found dead in the hotel room. You know how rumors go! They spiral and grow and facts will turn to fiction. I just happen to be standing in the right place at the right time and over heard two staff members talking about it. And they had no idea that I was sitting there in that holding cell listening to that conversation. Now true enough I've had them do stuff like this before, and feed me bad information. But I never write unless I research. So I then began asking around. But everyone seems to be tight lipped and scared when I mention this. So there's some truth in this. But just where the facts and fiction begin and end is something I'm unsure of. But I clearly overheard something that I wasn't suppose to hear, and it seems to be a new scandal that just hasn't broke wide open. And since I'm unable to find out anymore on this story. I figured I'd let this little bit of information out, and see if it opens a full blown media scale investigation. Because this woman's death, that is suppose to be under investigated by Leon county homicide detective's, is clearly under Florida's Sunshine law. The woman's life no matter what she was or what she did, is worthy of media attention. And just because your an FDOC employee doesn't give you the right to drug this woman and walk away like nothing happened. She was a human being who's worthy of respect and dignity. And we need to bring her death to light, and give her some closure. Because if this is all true, these officers were on FDOC time, representing UCI during the fallen officer memorial ceremony. So the FDOC is responsible for them officers being in Tallahassee in that hotel room on that day and time and their actions. So I'm asking you to contact the Miami Herald Newspaper, the Tallahassee Democrat, Orlando Sentinel or the Saint Petersburg Times and ask them to investigate these allegations. This woman's life is surely worthy of their time and help. God bless you. And continue to fight the good fight.

By not only censoring a half dozen emails with this article. But also the emails that contained the name of the Lt. This administration is showing culpability in the cover up. For if there is nothing to this, then they would have allowed these emails to be processed. They were fully aware of the law in Procunier v. Martinez, 416 U.S. 396(1974). The United State Supreme Court emphatically stated that mere complaints and disrespectful comments cannot be grounds for refusing to send or deliver a letter. In Osterback v. Ingram, 1999 U. S. Dist. LEXIS 20944: 13 Fla. L.
Weekly Fed. D 133 The United States District Court For The Northern District of Florida stated unequivocally that "Prison officials may not censor inmate correspondence simply to eliminate unflattering or unwelcome opinions or factually inaccurate statement's." The court's went on to say, "Further, mere complaints and disrespectful comments cannot be grounds for refusing to send or deliver a letter. Censorship for violation of prison disciplinary rules is properly limited to communications that relate to more concrete violations such as escape plans, plans for disruption of the prison system or work routine, or plans for the importation of contraband." Further supporting in McNamara v. Moody, 606 F. 2d 621@624 (5th Cir.1979). see also Loggins v. Delo, 999 F. 2d 364@367 (8th Cir.1993)( where a prisoner's offensive language in a letter does not implicate security concerns disciplinary action against the inmate violates the First Amendment).

The administration knew it was violating my constitutional rights by censoring this email pulling it out of my sent box, and not notifying me of the censorship. Had I not went through the sent box, I wouldn't have known of this censorship. And this is not the first time this administration has attempted to censor me.
Wherefore I'm requesting that you take legal action against the FDOC to ensure this type of 1st Amendment violation doesn't continue. And investigate these allegations. Thank you.

There must be a lot of truth to this since the administration pulled it out of my sent box violating the law trying to censor me. There is something to these allegations and rumors and this needs to be turned over to the US Department of Justice for further investigation.

This is protected by the 1st Amendment. In Procunier v. Martinez, 416 U.S. 396(1974). The United State Supreme Court emphatically stated that mere complaints and disrespectful comments cannot be grounds for refusing to send or deliver a letter. In Osterback v. Ingram, 1999 U.S. Dist.
