Kevin \u201cRashid\u201d Johnson has been transferred again.<\/p>\n
Rashid had been held in Oregon\u2019s Orwellian Snake River Correctional Unit \u2013 an unvarnished behavior modification programme \u2013 since last 2012. In Oregon he had written a series of articles exposing the racism, medical neglect, and psychological abuse to which prisoners in that state are subjected. Like his initial transfer from Virginia to Oregon over a year ago, this latest move \u2013 yet again, across the country \u2013 is clearly retaliation for his persistence in shining light on abysmal and destructive conditions that prevail in prisons across america.<\/p>\n
So now Rashid is in Texas. We don\u2019t know what condition he is in, or what conditions he is being held in, but the time after a transfer is often disorienting, and the prisoncrats and guards often seize the opportunity to practice their malice. For that reason, now is a particularly important time to reach out and let this comrade know that he is in our thoughts \u2013 even a postcard with a simple message saying hello would be welcome at a time like this \u2013 and in doing so, you also let his current captors know that he is not alone, and that despite their efforts he is not isolated from us.<\/p>\n
Write to Rashid at:<\/p>\n

Make sure a first and last name are clearly printed in the return address section of the envelope or your mail will be returned. Also, remember not to say anything that would give the guards an excuse to mess with Rashid more than they already are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
