The Fight Toxic Prisons Convergence is coming up on June 8-11 in Pittsburgh. I had the pleasure of designing the t-shirts for this event that will explore and organize issues between prisoner rights/ending mass incarceration and environmental justice.

Comrade Malik is currently being held in solitary confinement after being attacked at USP Beaumont. Other prisoners had previously warned that he was in danger at Beaumont and it is clear that he is being targeted because of his activism. Malik urgently needs to get out of this dangerous environment, and to get moved to an institution in California so it will be be easier for him to start work at the Bay View right away when he gets released. There is no reason for him to be at Beaumont, given his security status and his upcoming parole status in California. A show of public solidarity and support is crucial in letting the prison officials know that we are watching out for him and they can’t get away with any more dirty tricks. Please take a few minutes to help make sure our comrade gets transferred safely: Who to Call: USP Beaumont- 409-727-8188
(if you only have time to make 1 call, call USP Beaumont!)
When calling Beaumont, ask to speak with: – Larry Schultz- Warden – Mr. Tenner- Unit Manager ext.4551 – Mr. Odstrcil- Case Manager Fax: 409-626-3700 BOP Director, Kathleen Hawk Sawyer- 202-307-3250 BOP South Central Regional Office, Grand Prairie- 972-730-8600 Suggested Call Script:
“Hello, I am contacting you on behalf of Keith Washington (#34481037), a prisoner who was recently assaulted while being held at USP Beaumont. It is my understanding that Mr. Washington is hurt and being held in the SHU with restricted access to the outside world and that an investigation is currently underway. I demand that you expedite this investigation as swiftly as possible, that Keith Washington be transferred to a lower security facility in California (where he will be living and working upon release) and that no further disciplinary measures are taken against Mr. Washington, a man who has no history of violence other than what he has been exposed to in your institution.
Can you confirm who the specific Designator currently working on Mr. Washington’s case is? Please be advised that we are currently seeking to pursue legal action to redress the harm that Mr. Washington has suffered as a result of your negligence, and will continue to contact you until he is transferred.”
Tips for Making Calls:
Be firm but polite, insist on speaking to the person you are calling
Leave a message if no one answers
Refuse to give any information that you may be uncomfortable sharing with the state (e.g. full legal name, organizational affiliation, etc.)
Record phonecalls whenever psosible and send recordings to [email protected]
Send any new information gathered from calls to [email protected] or Tweet @FightXPrisons

As Hurricane Florence barrels towards the East Coast 170,000 people behind bars lie directly in it’s path with no ability to evacuate in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
We need your help putting pressure on each state to ensure the horrors that happened at FCI Beaumont during Hurricane Harvey don’t happen again. Already one prison we know of in a flood zone is refusing to evacuate.
Demands-
Immediate evacuation of all prisoners from every prison.
Stockpiling of Water and Food at every facility.
When you get a response tweet @FightXPrisons! (Or email [email protected])
ALSO-
We don’t trust ANY Department of Corrections. Per Jailhouse Lawyers Speak’s advice, “If you know any prisoners in this storm path, it’s important to tell them to fill up any containers or bags with water NOW!! Prisons are notorious for not giving adequate drinking water to prisoners if any at all after the water is contaminated.”
There’s a lot of numbers so maybe get with some friends and divide up!

PHONE ZAP UPDATE 9/13 9:47 EST
South Carolina Governor Henry McMaster (@HenryMcMaster, 803-734-2100) continues to refuse to evacuate state prisoners, including those in the evacuation zone. Federal Prisons have only given vague answers that they “are prepared” and say they can give no details due to “security reasons.” Both North Carolina and Virginia have stated they now have plans to evacuate prisoners within the projected path of Hurricane Florence*. We must continue to pressure them to ensure they meet our demands! We’ve prioritized South Carolina numbers for state and county facilities below.
Hurricane Florence Phone Zap
As Hurricane Florence barrels towards the East Coast 170,000 people behind bars lie directly in it’s path with no ability to evacuate in North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.
We need your help putting pressure on each state to ensure the horrors that happened at FCI Beaumont during Hurricane Harvey don’t happen again. Already one prison we know of in a flood zone is refusing to evacuate.
Demands-
Immediate evacuation of all prisoners from every State and Federal Prison, and County Jail at risk of flooding.
Stockpiling of Water and Food at every facility that may be impacted by power outages.
When you get a response tweet @FightXPrisons! (Or email [email protected])
If you can, record the phone call and email it to us. If it turns out they’re lying, we’ll have voice-recorded evidence.
Also, we don’t trust ANY Department of Corrections. Per Jailhouse Lawyers Speak’s advice, “If you know any prisoners in this storm path, it’s important to tell them to fill up any containers or bags with water NOW!! Prisons are notorious for not giving adequate drinking water to prisoners if any at all after the water is contaminated.”
There’s a lot of numbers so maybe get with some friends and divide up!
Numbers to Call
(This is all on Eastern Standard Time- If you’re on the West coast call early!)

UPDATE: Jailhouse Lawyers Speak has confirmed with prisoners inside Ridgeland Correctional and Lieber Correctional that they are NOT being evacuated. Ridgeland has told phone-zappers it’s not moving people without orders from the Governor or the Director of Prisons. We’ve updated the below numbers accordingly!
Governor’s Office (803) 734-2100 and Twitter @HenryMcMaster
