Tyrone,

Bummer. You guys need some good jailhouse lawyers. Unfortunately, there is not much I can do to help. I simply do not have the time to work on any cases there. Keep on doing what you are doing. The courts do not like a lot of legal jargon from non-lawyers. Just tell your story - like you were telling to someone you know. Keep it short and to the point.
Unfortunately, there are very, very few attorneys that will take prisoner cases on a pro bono basis. It costs to litigate and most attorney do not have the money to put up front on prisoner cases, which have an extremely low return.

You are pretty much on your own. Good luck.

Yours in Struggle,

January 2022
To the Warden,
I am , a lawyer educated at New York University School of Law and currently a Legal Fellow with the New York City Commission on Human Rights. Please be aware that I am now partnered with.
We are aware of retaliation against. As the lawyer of , I would like to make you aware that this person is my client and should not be retaliated against for filing remedies that helps him prepare. As I do not wish to see any retaliation against my client, I and will be keeping a clear focus on this issue. We will be looking out for incidents of retaliation against my clients and be responding in kind in a timely manner, so it is our hope that staff cease and desist from unfair and unjust retaliation against those who file administrative remedies.
We are aware that staff normally and usually retaliate against incarcerated people who file remedies in pursuance to BOP Program Statement 1330.18 and their due process rights. Retaliation by staff is a well documented feature of the prison system, even though that is violation of Program Statement 5290.9 Appendix C Inmate Rights and Responsibilities, which says that incarcerated people have the right "to be treated in a respectful, impartial, and fair manner by all staff." In 2019 r. found that Ms. had acted in a retaliatory manner against Mr. by placing him in solitary confinement after he expressed grievances about the inhumane conditions of the suicide watch program. A Texas State Auditor's report found that 62% of incarcerated individuals reported retaliation by staff following the filing of a grievance. According to a follow up study by the Prison Justice League, this number could be much higher, with 85.45% of respondents reporting retaliation following the filing of a grievance.
Further, I would like to make you aware that our mail is legal mail. We will also be paying close attention to any hindrance of the filing of administrative remedies. According to BOP Program Statement 1330.18, incarcerated people have the right to file these remedies. Hindering the ability to file remedies is a violation of an incarcerated individual's rights. Any violation of these rights will be pursued as such.
is an organization of university students who have been trained to utilize administrative remedies from the outside to advocate for people on the inside. Our ethos is to push against and directly change the mindset within prisons that causes staff to enact unlawful, unfair practices (e.g. withholding, delaying, tampering, replacing, or destroying filings) against people who are merely exercising their basic right to file administrative remedies.
