Call-in Requests from Indiana Prisoners

“Khalfani Malik Khaldun (Leonard McQuay #874304) is under attack at Wabash Valley Correctional Facility (WVCF)! In the past weeks, staff at the facility have made two attempts to intimidate him. First, his cell was raided and torn apart early in the morning, as officers searched for weapons and phones that Khalfani and his cellmate knew nothing about. Then, on June 6, counselor Brian Mifflin approached other inmates and made comments to them that suggested that Bro. Khalfani had been giving information to the staff, which he has not, tarnishing his reputation and putting his life in danger. Counselor Mifflin’s conduct is a direct violation of the DOC’s Information and Standards of Conduct Policy for DOC staff, which forbids staff from fraternizing with prisoners with the intent of harming other prisoners.

Please call WVCF Warden Richard Brown at (812) 398-5050, ext 2 and demand that Counselor Brian Mifflin be reprimanded and apologise to Leonard McQuay for his violation of the Information and Standards of Conduct for DOC Staff policy”

The assault comes shortly after Shakur was dismissed from a medical examination after insisting he be treated for an auto-immune condition caused by a TB outbreak in Pendleton. It also follows the most recent assault on him during a punitive shake down in retaliation for his political activity.

Pendleton has made Kwame Shakur a primary target in their suppression of inmate struggle and if they are not stopped, the violence against Shakur will only escalate. Pendleton was most recently in the news for the arrest of three corrections officers caught on tape severely beating an unarmed inmate. Warden Dushan Zatecky assured the public that their arrest was proof of Pendleton’s commitment to inmate safety. Yet assaults on inmates, of which Kwame Shakur is just the most recent is a constant occurrence at Pendleton.

If you can, please Call:

IDOC Commissioner Robert E. Carter
(317) 232-5711, press 0 for operator and ask for the commissioner, leave a message if no one answers.

Ask for the commissioner but you will likely speak to a secretary with whom you can leave a message.

Potential script:
“I am calling because I am concerned about the safety of Michael Joyner #149677 of Pendleton Correctional Facility. Yesterday he was assaulted by staff and likely has a severe injury to the head. I would like to know his whereabouts and request an investigation into the incident.”

You do not have to say more than that. Expect lies and dodges. Nor do you have to give any more information about yourself.”
