Arbitrary and Systemic Abuse Of Power

By Pitt Panther

Systemic abuse of power Is something I see everyday and those who feel the outcome of It are prisoners who oftentimes are timid to respond or raise complaint on these types of officers as ultimately most prisoners do not want to be retaliated and risk losing their chance of parole,good time credit,release date pushback, work assignment etcetera therefore prisoners have much too great to lose and this utter silence merely encourages officers to continue abusing their power while trampling on prisoners protected constitution rights with no fear or thought of being held accountable. 

Very few officers come to work and conduct their duties with a sense of Integrity while far too many abuse their power.Silence an,i lack of accountability Is problematic In any environment In which people have power over people an<l I personally have always been Inclined to get disturbed over organized Injustice and/or Instances of abuse of power against any group of an oppressed class. 

For an alleged Incident which occurred Jan 26,a plea was subsequently offered which I kindly rejected and their next option was to Issue the maximum penalty and put me In segregation.If this alleged Incident was so serious that It was worth placing me In solitary why allow me to continue being housed In general population, continue to work and roam around the prison compound? The option to Isolate me only came up due to my rejection of the plea they offered.

Essentially,they placed a gun to my head;take the guilty plea or else.Isolating people Is an Inhumane practice which many States have begun abandoning such practice for It Is well known to exacerbate people’s mental health,yet In this case Jessee Lambert Palmer (JCI Adjustment officer) was quick to exercise this power to place    In solitary without a single thought of repercussion for his decision.

In conclusion, I find this quite Intriguing not only because It’s Black History month but overall historical perspective.This Is a Prison, like most prisons where the population Is composed of mostly Black Incarcerated People but the administration and the staff Is composed of people of Afrikan descent; Black Warden, Chief Of security, Major, Captains, Lieutenants, Sergeants and a plethora of Afrikan descent officers however the one responsible of dishing out punishment, Mr.Jessee Palmer, the sole Caucasian Is the one responsible for such, who doesn’t even physically come to the facility but does so over audio. One can only wonder how many people are languishing In JCI seg unit simply because they refused to accept a plea offer? I believe this solidifies why I call these places Division Of Corruption!

All Power To The People 

Dare to struggle,

Dare to WIN !!!
