history of racist violence by guards against African American inmates.
Recently, I have been informed of serious abuse being enacted by guards
against Angaza Iman Bahar (Jimmy Jones) #891782, a long-term prisoner who
has repeatedly fought for his rights and the rights of all prisoners.
He has been assaulted and placed in segregation, just 48 hours after being
released from three months of segregation into general population. The
guard who assaulted him bragged to other inmates about his plans to attack
Angaza upon his return to population, because by “beating the big n****s,
the others can be kept in line.” Angaza is currently in fear for his life,
and believes that the guards intend to provoke him to physical violence, so
that they can keep him in prison for life. Please see the attached
documents for a full description of the assault.
Then, please call Indiana Department of Corrections Commissioner Bruce
Lemmon ((317) 232-5711) and WVCF Superintendent Dick Brown ((812)
398-5050), and say “Stop the racist abuse by guards of WVCF inmate Jimmy
Jones, #891782, and transfer him to a different facility immediately!”
