Default MATT HALE-Help Get Him Transferred

Matt is in Solitary and will remain there for several more months. He is barely eating, as they are witholding food apparently, and they are 'worsening their punishments' according to Matt's last letter to his mom, but she did not elaobrate on what that means.

She is working with the warden on getting him transferred out of there to another prison.

I asked how we can help and she said this is how:

"..I would like everybody to email the place in Grand Prairie, TX where they reclassify inmates. Write them a nice email about Matt, that he never committed any crime, never committed any infraction at Terre haute FCI prison, etc. Be sure to put Matts full name and his number on every email. No bad mouthing the warden. send to:"

GRA-DSC/PolicyCorrespondence&[email protected]

I asked her if he was being transferred to Grand Prarie, and she said no. As she explained:

"..Emily, the place in Grand Prairie, Texas is where inmates are reclassified and that is where Matt will be reclassified and it will be worse for him unless we can impress on them that Matt did not commit any infraction at Terre Haute. The place is called The Designation & Sentence Computation Center. Ms. H.."

Be sure to include in your email Matt's info.:

Matthew F. Hale
#15177-424
FCI
P.O. Box 33
Terre Haute, IN 47808

For those who don't know, Matt was put in SHU for sending out a press release criticizing a Fed Judge, which they alleged he sent via regular mail.

He sent it via email.

Email is screened, and the screener ok'ed the message.

So Matt was found to be innocent of wrongdoing.

But they won't let him out of SHU.

Matt is not able to eat fruit, and he is barely able to eat out of the comissary it appears.

He can't have music either, nor e mail.

And there is no telling what he means by 'punishments' that are 'getting worse.'


Also note: As his mom said, refrain from writing abusive mail to the Warden, or to Grand Prarie. (((Anyone))) doing so can be held solely responsible.
If you can take a second to write an email, it means the world to Matt and also to his mother.
Matt is not violent, has never caused the prison any problems, and could do legal work at the prison.

To all who send an email to help, much thanks and Happy Thanksgiving.

Default Terra Haute Prison is one of Top 10 Worst Prisons

Poor Matt proved he wasn't guilty of sending the press release without BOP approval. But the warden, Stephen Julian lied about the circumstance. Matt can't send out any e-mail that isn't read by the BOP so it is ridiculous to think the e-mail somehow just magically appeared in his inbox so he could send it out. Then when the BOP couldn't nail Matt on sending out the approved e-mail in his inbox they got another prisoner to lie and say Matt asked him to e-mail the same Press Release out. But what would be the point of that since it has to be read and approved by the BOP before it could be sent out and they would see it was a Press Release from Matt Hale anyway!

Matt is in SHU, solitary confinement because of this setup by the BOP. And it's just an attempt to keep Matt from getting his Civil Lawsuit and other dispositions released. He was working on getting his depositions out for his release for SHU. But the prison is so corrupt, the warden Stephen Julian told Matt that if he was going to work on his dispositions in SHU, "he would have to do it in chains with his hands shackled to his waist." The is a true statement. It is not an exaggeration.

Nobody would think this was possible in America, but even though Evelyn Hale has sent out hundreds of letters to Attorney Generals, lawyers, congressmen to address this issue nobody has even gotten the BOP to stop abusing prisoners this way. So basically they have been doing whatever they feel like to prisoners and nobody apparently can stop them.

So even though Matt was supposed to be in SHU for 60 days for the phony set up about sending a Press Release out without BOP approval, the warden Steven Julian hasn't said when Matt will be release from SHU. It could be many months more.

TY for this post, it's a good summary of what happened.
Matt told his mom he is starving-(((they))) claim he's not.

The Warden did finally speak with his mother, and claim he is 'going to be transferred.'

Prison Abuse and Torture in U.S. Prisons
Truly horrifying.

I remember reading about Damien Echols' time in prison (wrongful conviction and 18 years served). He was taken by guards into a room where they just started beating him,choking him, etc., and even though he knew how corrupt they were, he was stunned by that level of sicko violence.

Terra Haute, where Matt is, made the top ten worst prisons in the country with regard to the treatment of inmates.

It's real scary, having a draconian government who can basically do whatever they want to you and lie about it.

Update: While officials tell Evelyn that Matt can eat as he pleases from the commissary, Matt tells his Mom that is not so.

Come to find out, it's common to cut the food supply down to half what it would normally be in SHU Terra Haute. This is of course a tactic of further deprivation, to enforce the 'do what we want and your life will be easier' mentality.

Why they bother lying to her I don't know-could be because Matt was found to be innocent of the offense that placed him in SHU, and all further punishment therefore making no sense.

Matt's mom was promised a contact visit soon. One of the three prisons he may be transferred with is as bad as Terra Haute-other two much better conditions.

I still wonder if Matt's BOP case-or continual work with us on his Criminal case-are the reason for the arbitrary abuse and pointless punitive behavior-to shut down communication so he can't work on either, and to make him feel more hopeless.
Unfortunately for them- Matt is strong, smart, and people outside of the prison still care and will help.
A hopeful thing to remember-if he didn't stand a chance of winning, why would they care to stop the fight so much?
Evil bastards, they really are. There are rapists and murderers all over this country, eating, working, and living. While they work at destroying the lives of people who threaten their bs plans for 'da future' of this country.

If all else fails, Trump should offer a pardon. If truly violent scumdogs are given 'second chances', why not an Attorney who plays classical violin and never harmed a person in his life?

Default Update from Matt's mom

Matt's mom gave permission to put this online-it's her letter to Stephen Julian re the abuses being suffered by Matt:

"..Julian, you lied to me! I received a letter from Matt today. You said you would talk to Matt about him not getting enough food! He has a lot of weight. He is down to 153 lbs. from 170+. You lied!! That never happened! I have called you twice in the last week , You don't take my calls and you don't return my calls. You said I could have a contact visit with Matt but you won't speak with me to arrange that visit. In his letter, he said he hasn't had recreation for 4 days, hasn't had clean clothes. I believe your plan is to have inmates commit suicide in SHU. They are checked often so that the guards can see if it has happened yet. Your actions enrage me! You have pure enjoyment in torturing inmates. You DO SPEAK WITH A FORKED TONGUE. You seemed so nice and I was momentarily fooled by you but not anymore. What happened to you as a child to cause you to be so evil? Were you tortured, beaten, starved? What happened? I realize that anything I say will bounce off of you because you are a criminal with evil thoughts, evils plans. The feeling of power is so important to you. You enjoy the fear you see in an inmates eyes. I wonder, do you go to church on Sundays? You have admitted that Matt has done nothing wrong and you keep him in that hell "hole" with little food, just enough to keep him alive so that the torture can continue. Do you have children? Do they know what you are really like? Do they know what goes on at Terre Haute FCI SHU? Merry Christmas Julian!! I'm going to have a great Christmas, knowing that Matt is still suffering at your dirty hands. Evelyn Hutcheson.."

She further stated she had cried a lot today.

She agreed that approaching this as a human rights issue would be a good idea. I thought it would be good to draw attention to the entire prison (it is known for a large number of archaic, abusive practices), so that the 'who cares about that man he is 'racist' would not factor into the investigation possibly.

So I'll post info on who to write to in this thread, and all letters are appreciated (no threats or harmful letters as that of course does nothing to help Matt).

Here are some places to write and/or call re Matt's starvation, sensory deprivation, uncleanliness, and other human rights violations being used against him to shut him up in his BOP case:

The Center for Prisoner Health and Human Rights
Miriam Hospital/The Alpert Medical School of Brown University
8 Third Street, 2nd floor
Providence, RI 02906

(401) 793-2057

Make note of the fact that Matt is a model prisoner, and that he also is not guilty of the offense for which he was placed in SHU.
Make note also of the fact that this prison holds people for long, inordinate periods of time often.

Matt's info:

Matthew F. Hale
#15177-424
FCI
P.O. Box 33
Terre Haute, IN 47808

Thank you to anyone who participates.

Yes, the ACLU would be more likely to take interest in a nigger rapist in SHU, but their mission statement means they are supposed to attend to anyone being unjustly mistreated in prison. Even-gasp-innocent White people.

So they can be written to and/or called at the following address:

ACLU of Indiana
1031 E. Washington St.
Indianapolis, IN 46202
http://www.aclu-in.org/
(317) 635-4059

Serves: IN

Focus area/description: The ACLU of Indiana litigates cases involving the constitutional and religious rights of prisoners, including prison and jail conditions in Indiana.

Matt's number at FCI Terra Haute:
Matthew F. Hale
#15177-424

TYVM.

Might want to fill out one of these as well - https://www.bop.gov/inmates/concerns.jsp

If he's in the hole on Administrative Segregation it can be much worse than being there for Disciplinary reasons. For Disciplinary you have a hearing and get a specific length of time you'll be there. But they can keep you in the hole on Ad Seg for practically anything, even if you've never broken a rule or had a single write-up and you have no recourse. They can keep you like that forever. It's fucked up.

TY for that link!

Yes, they are truly doing whatever they want, with nobody to answer to but themselves.

Reminds me of when The Branch Davidians said having the FBI investigate the ATF is like having the big bro investigate the little bro for wrongdoing.

I believe he was put there under the guise of 'Disciplinary' reason while they 'investigated' how the info was sent out re the Judge.

But they've long since cleared that up and admitted it was sent via e-mail, so there is no more reason to be there-but the Black Warden (and possibly Mr. Julian under him) are known for human rights violations, imo all true if you read the accounts of abuse written by people who were in Terra Haute.

That would be interesting and possibly very important-I'll ask his mom how they have that filed-under 'Disciplinary' or 'Administrative.' TYVM.

Here is Matt's latest motion to be removed from retaliatory solitary confinement-he is not there for ANY other reason:
