I'm a grassroots area head in the affiliate social prisoner wing, National Prison Organization, United States of America. I'm a grassroots area minister of information for the New African Black Panther Party, prison chapter, United States of America. I'm a grassroots area head in the domestic prison wing of the domestic Islamic fundamentalist movement, & I'm a grassroots area acting head of the justice & peace movement. I'm a social political prisoner of war, doing a life sentence for self defense. I work with the Human Dignity Coalition on lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer rights, within the high school Gay-Straight Alliances, & related access for the disabled structures, as this relates to the prisoner struggle & conflict, & I chair an Anarchist Black Cross workshop on liberation struggle from theory to tactics, with a focus on domestic class conflict, & the impact of domestic class conflict on domestic gang conflict, & on domestic social conflict. I have a background in basic civil liberties, basic worker rights, basic prisoner rights, basic human rights, & basic humanitarian assistance for striking workers, & I lead in black sociology, black ethnic studies, & black gang alternative activism, with a focus on lifestyle & police racial profiling issues. I work with local Moorish groups/temples on these issues, who also do good work in these areas. I'm building on the foundation laid down by Tookie Williams in this work. I'm in a mental health special needs unit, which for me is just a somewhat softer form of administrative segregation. I have a library on all these positions listed in this letter, material which I will mail out on request, also for those who are interested, all of the positions listed in this letter are open to be organized under, in there being regular updates of this work directly to me by my mailing address listed on my blog profile page.

Prisons were not institutionalized on such a massive scale by the people. Most people realize that crime is simply the result of a grossly disproportionate distribution of wealth & privilege, a reflection of the present state of property relations. There are no wealthy men on death row, & so few in the general prison population that we can discount them altogether. Imprisonment is an aspect of class struggle from the individuals who disregard the structures of a hypocritical establishment as well as those who attempt to challenge it on a mass basis. Throughout its history, the United States has used its prisons to suppress any organized efforts to challenge its legitimacy - from its attempts to break up the early working men's benevolent association to the banning of the Communist Party during what I regard as the Fascist takeover of this country, to the attempts to destroy the Black Panther Party.
