It may not matter if your claim has already been decided by a court within the USA. It may not matter if your case is beyond the statute of limitations set forth by a state within the USA. Each case will be reviewed by an International Human Rights Lawyer. Information about "AIMI vs. USA" in International Court was published last month at "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog. It is repeated below to help you understand the planned Complaint to the United Nations.

Assistance to the Incarcerated Mentally Ill ("AIMI") vs. USA IN INTERNATIONAL COURT REGARDING CRIMES AGAINST HUMANITY

* Now gathering 100 cases of government abuse of mentally challenged Americans of all races to present a Complaint to the United Nations: rejection for treatment, long-term homelessness, hospital abuse, wrongful convictions, lengthy solitary confinement, police brutality, executions, and wrongful death cases. Call 678.531.0262 or Google Voice (571)335-1741. Email MaryLovesJustice@gmail.com. Title the email "AIMI v. USA."

* Also gathering 100 people victimized by mentally ill people or drug addicts who were denied treatment. If you were robbed, burglarized, assaulted, or had a relative who was killed by a mentally ill person or a drug/alcohol addict, please call us and email us.

* We will demand monetary damages for claimants plus changes in how America treats mental illness and substance abuse. Incarceration must be replaced with adequate, timely treatment and subsistence assistance.

Continue to call and email until you reach Mary Neal. The government may not want you to be included in this international Complaint against the USA. The U.N. provides that abuses by government agents (including police, judges, and other officials) can be levied against its member states. It may not matter if your case is beyond the statute of limitations set by U.S. law or if it was dismissed by corrupt courts. Hear more at "ASSISTANCE TO THE INCARCERATED MENTALLY ILL" Blogtalkradio shows Wednesdays at 9pm Pacific. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/nnia1

This international action is intended to (1) pay restitution to affected parties, (2) protect Americans who have mental disabilities and drug/alcohol dependencies, and (3) protect innocent people who suffered at the hands of untreated mentally ill persons or drug and/or alcohol addicts.

AIMI believes that people with mental illness and drug or alcohol addictions are deliberately left untreated to commit crimes that will excuse long prison sentences. This is done to enlarge our prison population. At least one-half of America's inmates are mentally ill (1.25 million), and over one-half of the victims of police violence are also mentally ill. Sixty percent of inmates in solitary confinement (SHU) are mentally ill. The entire private prison system was created and is sustained by criminalizing mental illness and drug/alcohol addictions. Mentally challenged and addicted people deserve treatment, not punishment.

We rely on YOU to notify people about this international Complaint, which we expect to file in the spring of 2015.

Pelican Bay Hunger Strike Anniversary

The nation's most vulnerable citizens, the mentally ill, comprise over 60% of inmates in solitary confinement. In addition, children are often isolated. The next story in this blog is about a retarded sixteen-year-old girl who was sentenced to a juvenile correctional facility in Kansas after taking her mom's car for a joyride that ended in an accident. For SOME STRANGE REASON, the pretty teen was placed on birth control patches. She experienced side-effects that included shortness of breath and chest pains, which she reported to guards. Their response was to put the complaining teen in solitary, where she died within an hour. See "Sex Abuse and Death in a Juvenile Facility?" at this link http://marylovesjustice.blogspot.com/2012/07/sex-abuse-and-death-in-juvenile.html

Below is an excerpt from "One Year Anniversary of Pelican Bay Hunger Strike Against Solitary Confinement," by Sal Rodriguez. I congratulate all inmates who helped bring awareness to your torturous conditions by participating in the hunger strike.

One year ago on July 1, 2011, approximately 6,600 inmates across California launched a hunger strike in protest of conditions at Pelican Bay State Prison. The leaders of the strike were a group of prisoners referred to as the Pelican Bay Short Corridor Collective, a multiracial group of prisoners.

The group issued five demands:


1. End Group Punishment & Administrative Abuse


2. Abolish the Debriefing Policy, and Modify Active/Inactive Gang Status Criteria


3. Comply with the US Commission on Safety and Abuse in America's Prisons 2006 Recommendations Regarding an End to Long-Term Solitary Confinement


4. Provide Adequate and Nutritious Food


5. Expand and Provide Constructive Programming and Privileges for Indefinite SHU Status Inmates.


The strike would last three weeks before coming to an end. Several strikers would be hospitalized. The strike brought attention to the widespread use of solitary confinement in California; currently, approximately three thousand inmates are held in one of California's three Security Housing Units, where inmates determined to be gang members are sentenced to indefinite terms in solitary confinement. Those sentenced to the SHU for gang validation must either become an informant and leave the gang, must be inactive for six years, or they must parole from their sentence; the phrase "Parole, Snitch, or Die" captures the means of leaving the SHU.

I also received an announcement about a July 3rd rally against injustice. Although the announcement came too late to share it with my readers, it had a message that remains timely:

NOW IS THE TIME TO COME TOGETHER . . . AND PICK UP THE WORK TO FREE MUMIA AND ALL THE OTHER POLITICAL PRISONERS, END THE DEATH PENALTY, AND DISMANTLE THE SYSTEM OF MASS INCARCERATION ("THE NEW JIM CROW").

Save California Kids from Solitary Confinement

Soaring No More
(photo by Joseph Siroker 

Please support SB 1363, a bill that would limit the harmful practice of solitary confinement, which is being used against kids in California’s juvenile facilities. Currently, kids are locked up in isolation, denied education and basic programming. The international community has condemned the use of solitary confinement against youth. Research has shown the traumatic toll and mental health breakdown caused by isolation in healthy adults. Children who are still in their development stages are at an even greater risk of permanent damage. It is unacceptable that our state allows this to happen. Sign the petition at this link, please!  Urge the Senate Public Safety Committee to end the solitary confinement of kids.

WHERE DOES THE CRUELTY END?
Please sign the petition to SAVE THE CHILDREN http://goo.gl/P2l9W 

Open thy mouth for the voiceless in the cause of all such as are appointed to destruction [capital punishment].  Open thy mouth, judge righteously, and plead the cause of the poor and needy [victims of racism, poverty, unjust prosecution, excessive sentencing, three-strikes laws, imprisonment for offenses caused by mental illness, and all unrighteousness] ~Proverbs31:8-9. GET UP, STAND UP FOR LOVE. See an excerpt from the petition below:

Solitary confinement is torture. Yet, this harmful practice runs rampant in California’s state and local facilities.
.
Research has shown the traumatic toll and mental health impacts of isolation in healthy adults. Children who are still in their development stages are at an even greater risk of permanent damage. When the state takes custody of our children, parents expect them to get the education and programming they need to lead healthy lives. Instead, their children are isolated and damaged.

Is this what we want for our children? If your child attempted suicide, would you lock her up alone in a cell to “fix” the problem? Our children deserve better. The state has a duty to protect our children in its custody from harmful practices that endanger their lives. SB 1363 (Yee) will limit the use of solitary confinement in juvenile facilities and provide protective guidelines on how and when it is used. Stand with us and urge the Senate Public Safety Committee members to vote “YES” on SB 1363.

Hold Up Your Own End - Nonviolence Guide for Today's Youth

Inline image 1

IT IS OFFICIALLY ON THE MARKET!!!

The H.U.Y.O.E. Non-Violence Guide for Today's Youth is now available for purchase.  We are excited about our efforts to try to help reduce youth violence in today's society.

The challenges that children face today are not new, but, when left unaddressed, can leave emotional scars that hinder a young person’s true potential. Some of these include peer assault, cyber-bullying, thoughts of suicide, harassment, lack of self-esteem, rejection, anger, rage, fear, failure, gangs, and many other potentially life-changing challenges. The H.U.Y.O.E. Non-Violence Guide for Today’s Youth addresses these challenges that are faced by most—if not all—youth to some degree in school, at home, and in the community. 

The H.U.Y.O.E. Non-Violence Guide for Today’s Youth will be life-changing for today’s youth because it does not focus upon violence, but rather on the victory over any act of destruction committed upon self or upon others, whether it be physical or emotional. The H.U.Y.O.E. Non-Violence Guide for Today’s Youth is uniquely designed to reach and teach the whole child by addressing violence of the body, soul, and spirit through stories and activities that encourage the development of self, rather than through a series of lectures. It will be an invaluable experience for your children, grandchildren, friends, siblings, and relatives.

Note: When I received this message via email, it said "Center for Church and Church" in its title, not "Church and Prison." Maybe a typo. On the other hand, stalkers are hired to interrupt Christian messages and any messages related to incarceration. Cell phone users, always select "go to page 1" when reading my articles to see what prison investors' cyberstalkers hid.


RECOMMENDATION 1)    I STRONGLY RECOMMEND THAT ALL PRISON MEETINGS INCLUDE DISCUSSIONS ON INDEFINITE MILITARY DETENTION IN CONCENTRATION CAMPS WHICH CAN BE IMPOSED ON AMERICANS AND VISITORS HERE WITHOUT THE NEED FOR THE WHITE HOUSE TO GIVE ANY CAUSE AND WITHOUT ALLOWING DETAINEES ANY OPPORTUNITY FOR DEFENSE. ALSO, PLEASE DISCUSS H.R.3785, THE CONGRESSIONAL BILL INTRODUCED BY REP. RON PAUL IN JANUARY 2012 TO REPEAL THAT UNJUST LAW - National Defense Authorization Act, Section 1021. 


RECOMMENDATION 2)  I WOULD ALSO SUGGEST THAT CHURCHES AND OTHERS WHO CARE ABOUT FAIRNESS TO MINORITIES MAKE SURE THEY ARE NOT DISCUSSING SOLUTIONS WITH PRISON INVESTORS WHO BENEFIT BY HIGH INCARCERATION NUMBERS. SEE "MARY NEAL'S BLACK HISTORY MONTH 2011" AND PLEASE SEE "NAACP v. BLACK CIGARETTE SMOKERS" AT HUB PAGES.
