Unwarranted, Illegal, Inhumane “Lockdown”!! Directed by !!
Retaliation: Which is illegal by law for the BOP to administer to prisoners; is exactly what the BOP does on a day to day basis throughout the BOP region which Mr. R E. Holt is in charge of.
R. E. Holt retaliated against prisoners in the following manner:
Proof of all that is placed on this link is held by this website and its associates.
The BOP refused to let the prisoners
eat their own food they purchased.
When the sweatshop workers making 17 to 50 cents an hour at UNICOR, decided to eat their own food, instead of the horrible food the BOP served in its cafeteria. The BOP at Yazoo “locked” them “out” of their housing units, so they could not get to “their” “own” food to eat lunch.
Even though the prisoners were treated in such an inhumane fashion; there were no protestors to such treatment. As all other housing units were locked. The prisoners (around 400) had to wait outside their housing units in hopes the BOP would open the door to let them in to eat.
In “deliberate retaliation” the BOP locked
The entire prison down for “11 days”
Learn more about the “sweatshop UNICOR”,
which is the “only private company” allowed to
run sweatshops on Government land
A 5-minute talk with the prisoners
would
have resolved the problem.
On April 9, 2004 when the BOP let their sweatshop employees out for 1st lunch serving; about 400 UNICOR sweatshop employees refused to eat the horrible food that had been served for the past year at Yazoo Federal Prison. Over the last year thousands of inmates “complained” to the staff at Yazoo about the disgraceful food served prisoners in the BOP’s punishment prison in Yazoo.
The thousands of prisoners over the last year additionally complained about the fact the BOP refused to authorize radar ovens be placed in the prisoner housing units so they could cook their own purchased food, so they would not be forced to eat the horrible food the BOP fed the prisoners in their cafeteria at Yazoo.
These complaints fell on “deaf ears”
all the way from Yazoo Prison officials
up the ladder to R. E. Holt’s regional office
in Atlanta; to Mr. Lappin’s office in
Washington, D.C.
No law or no rule
states a prisoner
“must” eat BOP food.
It’s the prisoners “option” to eat BOP food.
Day By Day Accounting Of The Lockdown
Kimball's building, housing over 600 prisoners was waiting to eat lunch on April 9, 04; when prior to the staff at Yazoo unlocking the door, to allow the 600 prisoners to eat; at approximately 11:20 A.M.; the staff at Yazoo closed the entire complex down and refused to allow any more prisoners the opportunity to eat.
The staff at Yazoo cancelled medical and dental appointments and refused to hand out needed medication which is done everyday at 11:30 A.M.
Prisoners that had been working out at the recreation yard and were all dirty and sweaty were refused the right to take a shower the entire day and night of April 9, 2000.
A bag lunch that consisted of one slice of meat which smelled horrible, a thin piece of cheese-like product and an apple was served at 3:30 P.M. No one was allowed to leave their 7' X 9' cube except to go to the bathroom. All the prisoners that had their dirty clothes in the unit laundry were advised their dirty clothes would not be washed until further notice. The clothes already washed and not dried were left to rot.
Dinner was delivered to the housing units at 8:00 P.M.; which consisted of 2 thin slices of meat which smelled terrible; 1 thin slice of cheese-like substance, two bags of crackers and one fig newton. The staff at Yazoo refused to allow the trash to be removed from the unit that currently houses around 170 prisoners, some sleeping on cots in former TV and card rooms. Food containers were left on the floor and in open trash bins.
Between the sweaty dirty inmates that had been refused the right to take a shower, open food containers everywhere; and prisoners refused the right to wash their own clothes; the unit stunk and was germ infested.
Shortly after the unnecessary lockdown, all the telephones were shut off so prisoners could not call their families to advise them of what was going on. Obviously BOP Regional Director R. E. Holt did not want anyone outside the prison to get wind of the sweatshop's prisoners wanting to eat their own food rather than the horrible food served at Yazoo. So, retaliate against every prisoner wanting what the BOP policy and law says every prisoner shall receive; which R. E. Holt makes sure Yazoo prison does not provide the prisoners; decent and humane food.
Also as April 9, 04 was a Friday; visitation starts at 5:00 P.M. to 8:30 P.M. then on Sat. and Sunday from 8:00 A.M. - 3:00 P.M.; Mr. R. E. Holt wanted to make sure all the prisoners' families suffered by not being advised of the childish retaliatory lockdown.
By Mr. Holtshuttingoff the telephones shortly after he locked down all prisoner movement at Yazoo; the prisoners could not contact their families, and advise them not to come.
Kimball knew of inmate wives and children traveling thousands of miles to come and see their husbands, on April 9, 10, and 11. Kimball also knew of a wife traveling from Miami and a family flying from Mexico to visit prisoners.
Of course if Mr. R. E. Holt was not a corrupt evil human being, he could have allowed visits for the families traveling long distances, but being that which he is, he chose to punish the families as well as the inmates. Punish the many for the acts of the few is Mr. R. E. Holt’s motto. Of course, that is illegal retaliation; however R. E. Holt holds “lawless authority.”
NO VISITS were allowed April 9, 10, 11, or April 16, 17 or 18, 2004.
To review more about the treacherous BOP Regional Director R. E. Holt and his bosses visit "The Names Of The Very Few Known People Involved In The Operation" also review the "Bureau of Prisons (BOP)"
On April 10, 04, when everyone awoke food and trash were everywhere as the staff refused to remove the germ infested trash in each housing unit.
One housing unit consists of approximately 160 prisoners and there are 4 housing units in each of the three buildings at Yazoo punishment prison.
Breakfast was delivered to the housing unit at 6:30 A.M. The best and most nutritious meal was served. Two tiny boxes of Frosted Flakes, 1 orange, and one 1/2 pint of milk
Of course the BOP provided No! Bowls to put the cereal, or milk in. That would be too much to expect from R. E. Holt's punishment prison. The BOP expected each prisoner to have purchased their own bowl and to use theirs. Some prisoners, of course, did not have bowls, with emphasis upon new prisoners just coming into prison and ones that just were released from the hole. Of course Mr. Holt knew this when he refused to providebowls for the cereal and milk.
The staff continued to refuse to allowanyone to take a shower or anyone to dry their own laundry which had been wet and rotting for the past 24 hours, never-mind washing or drying any dirty laundry.
Officers assigned to our unit stated they would allow prisoners to take showers, wash and dry clothes. Only; they had to followorders form the higher echelon of the prison or put their jobs in jeopardy. At least they were honest about the ridiculous retaliatory situation.
1:30 P.M. Saturday, April 10, 04 . The 4 th bag meal is delivered to our 7' X 9' cube. The bag meal consisted of basically the same meal we all received for dinner the night before. Two thin pieces of pressed meat of some sort, hand wrapped, 2, 1/16 thick, small pieces of cheese-like food; that covered 1/2 of the thin sliced pressed whatever. The prisoners here call the strange meat provided by the BOP in Yazoo, "Mystery Meat," 4 slices of bread and an orange.
1:50 P.M. Saturday, April 10, 04 . The BOP finally allows the over 2,000 prisoners at Yazoo to take a shower. However, no clothes may be washed or dried as they continue to rot needlessly. No telephone calls allowed to be made, no visitation has been allowed.
Mr. R. E. Holt's punishment prison "very nearly caused a riot" by his refusal to allow inmates to take a shower, to remain clean.
UNICOR employees wanting to eat their own food was a result of R. E. Holt's total refusal, after receiving thousands of complaints over a 2-year period to provideproper food to prisoners; which his BOP policy and the law states he must. "Lawless Authority!!"
Additionally Mr. Holt just missed causing a riot because he refused to abide by the BOP's own policy along with statutory law and rules pertaining to sanitary conditions for prisoners. "Lawless Authority!!"
Lawless authority it's meaning, who the people are
that conduct it, is well spelled out under
"Lawless Authority" page.
7:45 P.M. Saturday, April 10, 04 . Dinner is delivered to the housing units directly to the prisoners' cubes. This brown bag dinner was worse than all previous, even though that may seem impossible. The bag contained 1 apple and two crumpled up tiny sandwiches. One sandwich had a 1/16 of an inch piece of cheese-like food on two pieces of extra thin sliced small bread. The piece of cheese-like substance covered about 2/3 of the small thin bread. The other smallthin sandwich contained an ultra thin slice of some sort of pressed meat. Mystery meat, that wasn't wide enough to cover the small bread given as a sandwich. No mustard, mayonnaise, catsup, or other substance has yet been provided for prisoners to kill the taste of Yazoo prison's "Mystery Meat."
7:50 P.M. Saturday, April 10, 04. The showers were closed to all prisoners use.
6:30 A.M. Sunday, April 11, 04. The best meal of the day got worse. Regional Director R. E. Holt provided the prisoners less food for breakfast today, than yesterday. The BOP delivered to our cubes 2 1/2 oz of cereal, 8 oz of milk, 1 apple, no bowl, no brown bag this morning!
And Who Authorizes Mr. Holt's Activities?
10:15 A.M., Sunday, April 11, 04 .
The Medical Department Tortures Diabetics
Diabetics that are insulin dependent are in serious medical condition if they do not receive their insulin injections in a timely manner. For stabilization, insulin shots are given in the morning and evening just before meals. Since the lockdown starting April 9, 04 insulin shots have been given 1-2 hours after meals, which medically compromises diabetics. Today Yazoo's breakfast was served each prisoner at 6:30 A.M. Insulin was delivered to the insulin dependent prisoners at 10:15 A.M. over 3 hours late further compromising the medically impaired. This website and its associates hold the proof of prisoners that went into insulin shock and other serious medical problems the BOP refused to address during their retaliatory lockdown.
10:45 A.M. Sunday, April 11, 04 . A formal announcement is made in the housing unit by unit officers. The officers said "Per the warden; the showers will be open for prisoner use "only" between 8:00 A.M. - 10:00 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. - 8:00 P.M. daily. That means only about 13 prisoners per unit will be able to take hot showers. The rest will have to take warm to cold showers, as the hot water heating systems at Yazoo cannot take care of the approximately 1, 000 prisoners that Yazoo Prison is overcrowded.
Summary So Far
As aforestated this entire
“refusal to eat the horrible food at Yazoo”
could have been avoided if R. E. Holt
would have provided "humane food" which
has been requested by prisoners for 2 years.
It appears for retaliation for the not eating the garbage food R. E. Holt provides at Yazoo, but "NOT" Coleman/Low or "other" prisons in his region; Mr. Holt now is offering food that will cause every prisoner to suffer from malnutrition. Nearly caused a riot by refusing to let inmates clean themselves; and is perpetuating anger by refusing to let prisoners leave their tiny cubes; refusing to allow prisoners to play games such as checkers, chess or cards to occupy their time, even with their cellmates in their own cubes.
Mr. Holt is a disgrace to the human race!!
12:15 P.M. Sunday, April 11, 04 . We were delivered the same thing we had for lunch the day before. 1 cheese sandwich; very thin cheese that was smaller than the bread. One mystery meat sandwich without anything to put on it and one orange.
6:20 P.M. Sunday, April 11, 04. For dinner we were delivered one thin cheese sandwich; again the cheese was much smaller than the bread, one bologna sandwich. This time the meat was identifiable. No fruit this time.
6:20 A.M. April 12, 04, Monday . Breakfast is delivered to each cube. The breakfast consisted of 2 1/4 oz. of frosted flakes, 8 oz. of milk and one apple.
8:50 A.M. "insulin" was delivered to the insulin dependent diabetics 2 1/2 hourslate; still compromising the insulin dependent prisoners. All medical appointments were cancelled.No phone calls by inmates to their families or loved ones had been allowed since just after noon on Friday, April 9, 2004. The unit washers and dryers were open to wash clothes.
12:20 P.M. April 12, 04, Monday. Lunch was delivered to each cube. The lunch consisted of 1 bologna sandwich and one small thin slice of cheese-like food, that couldn't cover the 2 pieces of bread and no toppings offered, mustard, mayo, etc.
6:10 P.M. April 12, 04, Monday. We were delivered dinner to each cube. Dinner consisted of one very thin slice of dried mystery meat, not bologna, on 2 pieces of thin sliced small white bread, and one thin sliced piece of cheese-like product that would not completely cover the 2 small thin sliced white bread. No fruit and no toppings.
Summary for "needless" lockdown to date
Since the BOP's uncalled for lockdown, which started April 9 th, 04 people like myself that do not eat meat, received the following food for 4 days: 8 cheese sandwiches, each contained about a 1/16 oz. of sliced cheese-like product; 7 oz. of dry cereal, 24 oz. of milk, 6 apples, 2 oranges, 1 package of (2) crackers 1 package containing 6 tiny crackers and 1 fig newton.
All this! Because of “R. E. Holt” refused
to serve prisoners decent food which most every
prison serves and to be provided microwave
ovens as most every BOP prison provides.
It appears the BOP Regional Director,
R. E. Holt wants to make sure the prisoners
in his "disciplinary prison" receive "all"
the discipline they deserve in his twisted view.
Lockdown update
6:15 A.M. Tuesday, 4/13/04. Breakfast was delivered to the cube. Breakfast consisted of 2 1/4 oz. of frosted flakes 8 oz of milk and 1 orange.
8:10 A.M. Tuesday, 4/13/04. Medical arrived to give insulin shots to the insulin dependent 2 hours late. Still jeopardizing the diabetics.
Note: For the first time in 5 days the medical department took their patients from our unit out to medical in handcuffs. No prisoner going to medical can proceed on the compound without handcuffs. Sick needless punishment!!
All this demented activity by R. E. Holt
just because of 500 inmates did not eat
lunch because the food served at
Yazoo is deplorable!!!!!!
!!Unbelievable paranoia!!
12:05 P.M. Tuesday 4/13, 04. Lunch was delivered to the cube. Lunch consisted of 4 small thin slices of white bread. One slice of bologna - no toppings and one slice of cheese-like food that was smaller than the bread and 1 orange.
5:05 P.M. Tuesday, 4/13/04. Dinner was delivered to the cube. Dinner consisted of 4 small thin slices of white bread. One slice of mystery meat with holes in it - no toppings and 1 slice of cheese-like food that wasn't large enough to cover the small bread and 1 orange.
Lockdown continues
6:02 A.M. Wednesday, 4/14/04. Breakfast is delivered to the cubes. The breakfast consisted of 2 1/4 oz. of wheat bran, 8 oz. of milk and 1 orange. No sugar for the cereal and no bowls supplied.
9:00 A.M. Wednesday 4/14/04. Prisoners start being taken out of #3 building handcuffed and were taken to a debarkation center called R. & D. It appeared that between 30 and 50 prisoners were removed from Yazoo prison and shipped elsewhere. This parade of prisoners continued until around 11:00 A.M. The rumor which has a good foundation is; that these prisoners that worked for the sweatshop UNICOR, that refused to eat the horrible food at Yazoo, will be shipped from Yazoo, dumped at a few, holding facilities, possibly some jails for a few months before they reach whatever punishment prison the BOP has in store for them. This harsh treatment is called "dieseling" a prisoner. Once the prisoners reach their next punishment Federal prison, they may spend from 6-18 months in the hole.
The reason this rumor appears very likely is that Kimball had met a prisoner that was involved in an actual riot at Yazoo prison a few years ago. He was dieseled and spent 16 months in the hole, before he was again released into normal prisoner housing on a prison compound. This all is "illegal" however, BOP Regional Director R. E. Holt and his superiors don't know what the law or human rights are. This is well spelled out on this website under this link and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP).
9:45 A.M. Wednesday, 4/14/04 . Clinic medical staff arrived to give diabetics their insulin shots. This time almost 4 hours later than the proper time for the diabetics to receive their insulin. They are still compromising the lives of the medically impaired, which is standard operating procedure for the BOP. Review this link and the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) for the real truth.
As this was the first medical appointment to be conducted since the lockdown started; one of the members of the medical staff yelled out, we will see emergency medical only. Just how does a prisoner know what a medical emergency is? We know from just examples noted on this website what is not a medical emergency; dying of cancer, 90% blocked arteries, excruciating pain, kidney stones, tumors, internal brain bleeding, indentations in the spine and severe coughing and breathing problems. Passed out on the floor would be a medical emergency, however if that occurred the person passed out could not respond to the medical staff members yelling to come forward for emergency medical.
12:05 P.M. Wednesday, 4/14/04 . Lunch is delivered to the prisoners in their cubes. Lunch consisted of 1 mystery meat sandwich with holes in the meat, no toppings and 2 small thin pieces of white bread. Another sandwich and the same type bread with a piece of cheese-like food that did not cover all the bread and one green apple.
Note: Regarding the milk which is only served at breakfast at Yazoo prison. Prior to the lockdown Yazoo prison gave 2, 8 oz. cartons of milk to each prisoner. As soon as the lockdown started, Yazoo prison cut the milk allotment in half, only allowing each prisoner 1, 8 oz. container of milk with breakfast.
Additional note: This writer was in #1 building which is drastically overcrowded housing 600 or more prisoners, some sleeping on cots. On April 9, 04 when the sweatshop (UNICOR) employees decided not to eat the garbage food served at Yazoo for the past couple of years; Yazoo prison never even offered anyone in Building #1 the opportunity to go to the cafeteria to eat lunch. BOP staff refused to unlock the doors to the building to allow anyone to eat, even after all the UNICOR employees were asked to return back into their housing units, which they did without protest and the prison compound cleared of prisoners.
There is something wrong with that type BOP mentality. There was no riot, not even any yelling or shouting, or waving of arms from the sweatshop employees. They were just refusing to eat lunch which is anyone's prerogative in prison. This was just their way of expressing their view of the horrible food; after 2 years of complaints had fallen on deaf BOP ears. There were about 400 UNICOR prisoners standing outside their housing unit which was no fault of their own. The BOP had locked them out of their housing unit. They had no choice but to stand outside waiting for the doors to be unlocked, in hopes they could eat their own food the sweatshop workers purchased at their 17-50 cents an hour wages.
This writer knows, as I watched the entire episode. I happened to be standing by the window of Building #1 the entire time. The large gathering of prisoners by their building was caused only by the BOP locking them out. UNICOR workers refusal to eat lunch was the BOP's causing; as after years of complaints they flatly refused to serve nourishing decent food, like other BOP prisons have been doing.
It would be this writer's opinion that the BOP deliberately misconstrued the problem they caused and blamed it on the prisoners in some fashion.
4:45 P.M. Wednesday, 4/14/04. Dinner was delivered to the prisoners' cubes. Served was the same as previous days 4 slices of small thin white bread, 1 slice of mystery meat and one small piece of cheese-like food and an apple that was red this time.
6:30 P.M. Wednesday, 4/14/04. Medical staff arrived to give insulin to the diabetics over an hour and a half late. I forgot to mention this fact before. Insulin has been given at night also from 1 1/2 - 3 hours late since the lockdown started just compromising those impaired people even more.
6:02 A.M. Thursday, 4/15/04. Breakfast is delivered to the cubes. Breakfast consisted of 2 1/2 oz. of frosted mini-wheats, 8 oz. of milk and no bowl. About 30 minutes later an orange was delivered to the prisoners in the cubes.
Note: At Yazoo punishment prison it is so overcrowded prisoners are sleeping in hallways, former TV and quiet rooms while some prisoners do not have beds and must sleep on a cot.
Note: During this lockdown the BOP appears to have done one thing they have not done in the over 2 years I have been at Yazoo; served some kind of fruit with almost every meal. Normally at Yazoo a prisoner is very fortunate to receive any fruit once a day.
9:43 A.M. Thursday, 4/15/04. Medical staff appears in our housing unit offering insulin shots over 3 hours late to the insulin dependent prisoners. This time one of the staff announces Sick Call instead of only emergency sick call. The medical staff made appointments for sometime in the future, to see the sick prisoners. No dental which I had an appointment for this week.
1:02 P.M. Thursday, 4/15/04 . Lunch is delivered to each prisoner. Again, 1 cheese sandwich on 2 thin slices of small white bread, and of course the cheese was smaller than the bread. Also one bologna sandwich on the same type bread. This time the meat was identifiable, not mystery meat. However the one single slice of bologna was very thin. As I don't eat meat it didn't matter, however it did matter to most all the other prisoners. Also one apple was delivered.
5:05 P.M. Thursday, 4/15/04. Dinner is delivered to the 150 prisoners in our unit. Dinner consisted of the usual 4 pieces of thin white sandwich bread, 1 slice of mystery meat (didn't look or smell like bologna that we had this afternoon) 1 thin slice of cheese-like food that didn't cover one slice of bread and one apple.
5:29 P.M. Thursday, 4/15/04. Medical staff showed up offering insulin for the diabetics only 20 minutes late. That's a record so far. Also, they gave out pills that had been pre-approved for prior ailments. The medical staff advised the prisoners they could sign up for sick call tomorrow. When I asked about a dental appointment I had to fill a cavity I was advised that no appointments were being kept during lockdown. Additionally, no one that I saw or know that signed up for sick call anytime this entire week ever was able to see anyone for their medical problems.
Needless Lockdown Continues
6:10 A.M. Friday, 4/16/04. Breakfast is delivered to the prisoners. The breakfast consisted of 2 1/2 oz. of raisin bran, without any sugar, and for the first time since the needless lockdown started, the cereal came in a self servethrow away bowl. The BOP did provide a 1 st with bowls. No spoons were provided to any prisoner - 8 oz. of milk was delivered and one orange.
8:10 A.M. Friday, 4/16/04. I overheard a conversation between high BOP administration Yazoo staff members (names held confidential for now) explaining to another person exactly what was going to happen to the prisoners that were removed from Yazoo for not eating lunch. Everything the administration staff member stated was documented; and everything the staff member said was going to happen to those approximately 100 prisoners was a direct violation of law. (The documentation and names of the staff members are being held confidential pending the tracking of each of those prisoners to confirm the legal violations. Then everything will be released on this web site to include the names of the prisoners shipped.
8:30 A.M. Friday, 4/16/04. The BOP had been deliberately violating the law and everyone's constitutional rights that were scheduled to receive legal mail during the lockdown. Although, the BOP did obey the law; sort and deliver regular mail, the BOP chose to violate the law and constitution rights to due process, of prisoners by not delivering their legal mail. Total lawless authority!! Review Lawless Authority and you will have proof positive the BOP violates just about every law, rule and policy passed which governs their conduct with prisoners. Whether it’s the food they eat, the illegal cruel and abusive treatment they receive, the medical torture and death they receive to the families the BOP deliberately breaks apart.
Kimball was delivered on 4/16/04 2 legal mail envelopes. One Yazoo Prison officials signed they received on 4/9/04. All legal mail is supposed to be stamped by the BOP Prison the day they received it. Kimball’s legal mail in the past was stamped. However, when the prison refused to deliver the legal mail, during the lockdown, they blacked out the date it was received by them to cover up the receipt date. This cover up stunt is typical of the cover ups the BOP does every time they deliberately violate the laws. Which is hundreds of times a day in every Federal prison across the US.
Most of these cover ups only reflect the intelligence level of the higher ups in the BOP. Kimball and his associates hold an abundance of forged documents, fraudulent documents, and records, illegally deleted by BOP higher officials. The documents will be posted shortly on this website. Along with the names of the people in the Bop that performed these illegal acts.
In the case of the blacked out receipt date of the legal mail for Kimball, the intelligence level of the people at Yazoo in doing that, was below zero. The legal mail was Express mail and was tracked, and was signed and received by Yazoo prison at 8:10 A.M. on 4/9/04. In addition the label on the envelope stated that exact same information and bore the signature of the officer from the prison that signed for it.
Regarding the second legal mail envelope for Kimball; Yazoo prison received the second envelope and refused to use their stamp which indicates the date received, breaking their own policy. Again, that was an express mail envelope which was tracked, received and signed for by Yazoo prison on 4/10/04 at 9:24 A.M. That envelope additionally had that same information on the label and bore the officer's signature confirming the exact time and date he took possession of Kimball's legal mail. Total Lawless Authority!!
11:52 A.M. Friday, 4/16/04. Lunch was served to prisoners in our unit. Lunch consisted of 1 mystery meat sandwich, one cheese sandwich, 1 orange, no toppings, same as before.
4:54 P.M., Friday, 4/16/04. Medical showed up for the first time since the lockdown started to give the diabetics their insulin shots before they ate.
5:20 P.M., Friday, 4/16/04. Dinner was served which consisted of 1 very thin bologna sandwich, 1 cheese sandwich, this time 2 pieces of cheese that did cover the entire small thin bread, however, each piece of "cheese-like food" (not real cheese) was so thin the two pieces didn't amount in total to the one piece we were getting prior that didn't cover the small thin bread, and one orange.
Note: Visitation with family and relatives was cancelled again for the second week in a row for absolutely no reason, except as retaliation against the prisoners and their families.
In fact everything BOP Regional Director, R. E. Holt was doing at Yazoo punishment prison was retaliation against the prisoners and their families much further than he ordinarily does as standard procedure at Yazoo. Total Lawless Authority!!
The way R. E. Holt runs Yazoo punishment prison should be reviewed under One Of The Worst Torture And Death Camps.
5:55 A.M., Saturday, 4/17/04. Breakfast is delivered to each cube. Breakfast consisted of 2 1/4 oz. of wheat bran with no sugar, no bowl and no spoon., 8 oz. milk and one orange.
8:30 A.M. , Saturday, 4/17/04. Medical showed up to inject their 2-hour late insulin, and they were not taking sick prisoners. A prisoner that had just suffered a grand mall seizure when the medical staff arrived; Steve Harper, BOP #19024-076; the medical staff simply told prisoner Harper to go to bed, and that his medication may be changed at some time in the future.
Note: The same sick sandwiches R. E. Holt is feeding the prisoners at Yazoo, were unnecessary; and pure "retaliation," as the prisoners which do all the cooking, were willing to go to work and cook more nourishing meals. R. E. Holt was refusing that offer in favor of his demented retaliation.
In essence the UNICOR employees didn't eat lunch to protest the poor food which contained poor nutrition. R. E. Holt retaliated by providing less food with less nutrition while punishing the many for the acts of the few. This humanitarian, R. E. Holt, for his non-humanitarian treatment of Federal prisoners will probably be promoted and take over Mr. Michael Cooksey's job as Assistant BOP Director in Washington, or even Mr. Harley G. Lappins’ job as "top gun" over the BOP. After all, R. E. Holt is teaching the prisoners a lesson with his further inhumane treatment of prisoners cutting the $2.32 a day allotment for food for each prisoner to about $1.00 per day, per inmate.
Everyone should review BOP allows only $2.00 per day per prisoner for food
1:36 P.M., Saturday, 4/18/04. Lunch was deliberately delayed needlessly by staff causing prisoner tempers to flair. Two BOP staff members received the food (names presently being held confidential) decided after they received the food, they were going to delay handing it out. "Just" before something ugly could have happened with all the yelling and prisoner demanding their food, the two BOP higher staff members backed off and delivered the food to the prisoners. The lunch was different today. Lunch consisted of; peanut butter and jelly, about 3 oz. of meat, much more than was given at any time during the lockdown, 4 pieces of thin small white bread, and an orange.
Note: It clearly appears the confinement of 150 prisoners in a housing unit designed to house half that amount is starting to cause serious problems. Two fights in this unit were averted the last night by prisoners. Reported by officers; serious fights had been going on in other units. Confrontations between prisoners and staff had been rising in this unit. The BOP may end up causing a riot with this needlessretaliatory lockdown. Plus the fact of refusing to provide the prisoners the use of the telephones, or even the TVs to occupy their time, while feeding them worse and less food than they provided before.
6:12 A.M., Sunday, 4/18/04. Breakfast is delivered to the prisoners. Breakfast consisted of "less" food; 1 1/2 oz. of fruit loops, 8 oz. of milk and an orange.
Note: The cereal and milk that prisoners had been served at Yazoo had always appeared very old and way out date not including food coming into the kitchen stamped 2 years outdated and not for sale to the public. The fruit loops appeared to have expired Nov. 2003 and the milk 1/28/04. The milk carton revealed no manufacturer and no distributor location at all, or a way to contact them, which I believe is illegal. My associates will check into that as they have all the documentation needed. More Lawless Authority it appears. The Kellogg's Fruit Loops do have a manufacturer's address and contact number which my associates also hold the documentation for to verify the expiration date. That information will be forthcoming on this site under Lawless Authority New Updates located at the top of this page.
Additional note: As aforementioned the BOP at Yazoo refused to allow inmates to shower the first evening when they were all sweaty and dirty coming in from the recreation yard. They were forced to sleep in those unsanitary conditions. Also, the BOP has refused to allow bed linen to be washed or exchanged which normally would have been done last week. That along with refusing to issue soap, razors, toothbrushes to the indigent that depend on these items for sanitary purposes. Additionally as Yazoo prison is a punishment prison, in over 2 years I have been at Yazoo, unlike other Federal prisons, Yazoo refuses to issue shampoo to the indigent prisoners. It clearly appears as noted on this link under One Of The Worst Torture And Death Camps that Yazoo prison under the strong arm of R. E. Holt continues to promote the anti-biotic resistant strain of staph infection that has been of epidemic proportion at Yazoo.
The law states: even in disciplinary punishment which is the hole; a prisoner is entitled to at least an hour of recreation 4 times a week. Yazoo prison has provided none in 9 days so far and it isn't because R. E. Holt doesn't have staff enough at Yazoo. Much of the staff is sitting around reading books including high staff members. The prisoners in a prison camp next door to this low security punishment torture and death camp, have been conducting the duties of trash and keeping everything up on the compound.
9:48 A.M., Sunday, 4/18/04. Medical arrived to give insulin shots nearly 4 hours late. They also handed out needed medicine late.
10:54 A.M., Sunday, 4/18/04. The staff must have wanted to get off early this Sunday as lunch was served so early. Lunch consisted of 1 sandwich, identified as bologna, 1 cheese sandwich with 2 very thin pieces of cheese-like food on them, 4 thin pieces of small white bread. I ate the cheese sandwich as I and many others do not eat meat.
6:10 A.M., Monday, 4/19/04. Breakfast is delivered to the prisoners in the housing units. Breakfast consisted of 1 1/4 oz. of rice crispies in a disposable bowl, 8 oz. milk, no spoon, no sugar and a yellow orange.
8:20 A.M.Medical came to give shots to insulin dependent prisoners, and other medication to prisoners. Insulin only 2 hours late this morning.
9:00 A.M. The BOP decided to turn on the telephones after 11 days. Turning them off 11 days ago was purely retaliation and done without just cause. There is no question the entire lockdown was retaliation, caused only by the BOP's refusal to provide quality food and rid the prison of food poisoning.
As there are only 4 telephones for 150 inmates, it may take a day or two to get to a telephone. The BOP only allows 1 telephone to be turned on between 7:30 A.M. - 10:30 A.M., then from 12:00 P.M. - 3:50 P.M., then no phones from 3:50 P.M. - 4:40 P.M. Four telephones are allowed to be used at other times. However the phones are not turned on until 6:00 A.M.Central time and are turned off at 11:00 P.M. Central time.
10:58 A.M., Monday 4/19/04: Lunch is delivered to the prisoners in the housing units. Lunch consisted of 1 slice of meat identified as bologna; 2 very thin slices of cheese-like food, 4 pieces of thin small white bread, 1 yellow orange.
5:50 P.M. Monday, 4/19/04. Dinner is served to the prisoners in the housing units. Dinner consisted of 1 slice of mystery meat no one could identify; 2 thin pieces of cheese-likefood, 4 slices of thin small white bread and one sour yellow orange.
8:10 P.M. Medical came to give insulin shots to the insulin dependent over 2 hours late and pills to the medically impaired. Also made sick call appointments.
6:10 A.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04. I went to use the telephone as they were turned on yesterday. The telephones were all turned off for no reason whatsoever. The officer on duty advised me she had no idea why the telephones were off; when they were supposed to be turned on at 6:00 A.M. She did state that the prison ordered the telephones not to be turned back on for whatever reason they had. She also advised; we would be going to the cafeteria to eat this morning around 8:00 A.M.
8:10 A.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04.
I witnessed what I would call the
"absolute height of stupidity"
I watched as about 50 Yazoo prison staff personnel parade out of a meeting room; most formed a line nearly a quarter of a mile long standing about 30 feet apart from one another. This line started at #3 building, the furthest away from the cafeteria and went all the way to the cafeteria, which again is nearly 1/4 of a mile. This senseless line appeared to suggest by the mentally impaired that ordered such; either that the staff had control of the situation; or unity amongst staff members against the prisoners.
Whatever the demented reasoning for ordering the formation of such a ridiculous line; obviously for show only; appeared to this writer to add stress and fatigue to the BOP staff members involved.
It took nearly 4 hours to feed breakfast to all the prisoners. The obvious "highcommand" orders were: Each unit consisting of 150 prisoners must be fed and returned to their unit before another unit could be released to go to the cafeteria to eat. This BOP order caused the delay and further frustration, while some prisoners did not get to eat breakfast until 11:45 A.M.
I sincerely felt sorry for the BOP staff members having to needlessly stand, in essentially, one spot for nearly 4 hours. They did get a chance to move twice into different housing units. Many of these staff members were secretaries and office workers; not use to prolonged standing. As I watched them; it was obvious many were suffering needlessly for this demented display of, whatever it was.
Whatever, or whoever ordered such a display of foolishness; did not impress any prisoner I spoke with, and certainly was cruel and abusive in my opinion, to the BOP staff ordered to take part in that charade.
9:45 A.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04. Our building however, was the first of the three buildings to be allowed to go to the cafeteria. A first at Yazoo: Since I have been at Yazoo over 2 years, it was the first time I have received orange juice with breakfast. Another first in the over 2 years at Yazoo, a breakfast was served, equal to the everyday breakfast prisoners at Coleman/Low receive. Someone got the message!!!!
1:20 P.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04. The line up of staff members along the nearly 1/4 of a mile walk to the cafeteria was put back in place. This time only half as many staff members were put in place for this charade. Quite obviously at least 1/2 could not stand in one place for such a long period of time. Toward the end of the morning, just before breakfast finished at noon; one female staff member who could not stand anymore was not sitting on the grass.
It appears that higher ups in the BOP don't care much about how they treat their lower staff members, subjecting them to needless abuse physically.
1:50 P.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04. We were let out of our unit to eat lunch at the cafeteria. The lunch was better than usual;not as good however, as Coleman/Low's everyday lunch served its prisoners. The fried catfish was served hot for a change; and the salad actually had tomatoes in it. By the time I returned from lunch the BOP had decided to turn the TVs back on after 12 days of being turned off. It appears the BOP will finally allow the prisoners to move around the prison tomorrow.
"Note": At lunch I ran into a diabetic, who was the recipient of the very late insulin injections. He told me about his 2 serious insulin shocks from not receiving his insulin on time. He also advised me about other prisoners that had the same problem as he had, that were insulin dependent. Staff from Yazoo medical department advised him there were many prisoners having serious reactions from not receiving their insulin close to on time. He did not know if there were any deaths caused by this deliberate neglect. (These prisoner names are held confidential by Kimball's associates for now.)
It is obvious that the BOP was "well informed" that
their frivolous lockdown was jeopardizing the
lives of prisoners. Yet Regional Director, R. E. Holt;
his subordinates and his superiors kept the
charade continuing; "knowingly" and needlessly
further "jeopardizing" prisoners "lives."
5:50 P.M., Tuesday, 4/20/04. The lockdown still continues! Dinner is delivered to the prisoners locked down in the housing units. This time for dinner we had the same as every day prior, "Except" added were a bag of potato chips, 2 desert cakes and mustard and mayonnaise toppings for the sandwiches; for the first time in 12 days.
There is "no question" the BOP had these items
all the time.
The BOP acts were pure retaliation
Retaliation is illegal!!!!
Total Lawless Authority
Additional important note: After 5 days ; on Wednesday, 4/14/04 the BOP had approximately 15 staff members storm #3 building where the slave, sweatshop (UNICOR) workers were housed. There were 500 sweatshop workers housed in that building. They broke into the prisoners' lockers and stole all the food that the prisoners themselves purchased, with their sweatshop wages of around 50 cents an hour. This was to forcefeed the sweatshop employees the garbage mystery meat and cheese-like food sandwiches with no toppings, the BOP was forcing over 2,000 prisoners to eat or starve.
This Alienated BOP Staff Members Against Their
BOP Superiors
Many BOP staff employees already knew the lockdown was a charade and now were being "ordered" to take away food these slave labor UNICOR workers purchased with their own money. Many of these staff employees were women, being forced to load and carry heavy "laundry" bags full of groceries, weighing up to 70 pounds, picking them up, moving them hundreds of feet, to include carrying them up and down stairs.
Not Only Did Prisoners Resent The BOP Theft
BOP Staff Resented The BOP For Ordering It
Prisoners were complaining to BOP staff about the theft while BOP staff were complaining to prisoners for being ordered to steal their food.
The hierarchy of the BOP in their own stupidity
had united the prisoners and many staff members
against the BOP higher officials which were blatantly
retaliating against prisoners for a problem those same
officials caused.
Then to order those same BOP staff members to stand "needlessly" in one place for "hours" at a time; built even "more" staff "resentment" and inmate resentment. "Many" of the "inmates" felt "sorry" for those "staff" members forced to stand in one place for hours.
7:30 A.M., Wednesday, 4/21/04. Prisoners were released to go to the cafeteria. The breakfast again was a duplicate of what Coleman/Low served everyday, as was the lunch and dinner.
7:00 A.M., Thursday, 4/22/04. The prison was opened today under normal operations. The demented lockdown is history.
