  PEACEFUL prisoner activists and individuals with an interest in human rights are invited to attend, particularly those interested in:

   

  1)     death penalty

  2)     prison torture

  3)     solitary confinement

  4)     life without the possibility of parole

  5)     trying children as adults and life sentences for minors

  6)     mandatory sentencing

  7)     three-strikes laws

  8)     law of parties

  9)     criminalizing mental illness, including PTSD among American veterans

  10)   relocating prisoners out of state, which restricts visits even for sick prisoners

  11)   private prison profiteering - especially by decision-makers with  positions in criminal justice (conflicts of interest)

  12)   excessive sentencing and unacceptable disparities in sentencing for similar offenses

  13)   enforcement of Freedom of Information Act

  14)   prisoner healthcare

  15)   increased funding for public defenders

  16)   post-conviction DNA testing

  17)   no penalty or misdemeanor charge for less than one oz. of marijuana

  18)   strict enforcement against police and prison brutality; prosecution of 100% of offenders

  19)   new trials with substantial new evidence, like the Troy Davis case

          (Is Davis is preserved to execute one day and set off riots to excuse Martial Law?  President Obama should pardon Davis.  See comments* at the article - link above.)

  20)   so-called "non-lethal" weaponry and the possibility of conflicts of interest among decision makers regarding police equipment purchases

  21)   illegal alien raids and arrests

  22)   police profiling and abuse of homosexuals

  23)   surveillance of U.S. citizens; loss of privacy rights

  24)   plans for mass "emergency centers" inside U.S.A. for Americans (H.R. 645)

  25)   remedial damages for victims and families of abused or murdered prisoners (whether or not victims lived to reach jail) 

   

  The first annual HUMAN RIGHTS FOR PRISONERS MARCH will be in Atlanta, Georgia on May 16 to address some of the CHANGE needed in the justice system.  We will meet in Woodruff Park on Peachtree Street downtown, walk past the Atlanta Journal Constitution on Marietta St. to CNN, and terminate the walk in Olympic Park right across from CNN.  THIS SHOULD BRING MEDIA COVERAGE TO THE PROBLEMS ENDURED BY PRISONERS AND OTHER JUSTICE ISSUES.
  
  Please forward this email to others on your list serve.  Let me know if you are availabel to come and  address the gathering about wrongful convictions or another issue of your choice.
