Today Rashid told us: \u00a0\u201cMedical neglect is a serious problem here.\u00a0\u00a0I personally have witnessed two inmates die from neglect.\u00a0\u00a0On the night of May 14th, Nurses Doak and Armstrong referred me to see a doctor on May 15th.\u00a0\u00a0I have never seen a doctor.\u201d<\/i><\/p>\n
During this health emergency Rashid was denied a scheduled legal visit. On May 19th<\/sup>\u00a0 Noelle Hanrahan P.I. and mitigation specialist Cynthia Skow were scheduled to fly to Texas and their visit was prevented by the Clements Unit and the ignominiously named Texas Office of Access to Counsel. Rashid\u2019s legal team will reschedule this trip ASAP, and is fighting this illegal and inappropriate action by the TDCJ.<\/p>\n The State of Virginia (he is being held in Texas on an intrastate compact transfer) has tried tactic after tactic to isolate and prevent Rashid from communicating. They transferred Rashid out of state in 2012. He has had only two phone calls while in Texas for the past year, and four visits in the 2yrs since his transfer from Virginia. In Texas he can only purchase 40 stamps per month, if he is broke, he gets ten stamps as an indigent prisoner.<\/p>\n Turn the white hot spotlight on the Clements Solitary Confinement punishment Unit at the TDCJ.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We are standing with Rashid.<\/strong><\/p>\n 1)\u00a0Please Call<\/strong>\u00a0and Tell the Warden at the TDCJ Clements unit that that health care is a human right.
