After several unsuccessful attempts to reach by phone I sent the following email: terri scofield <terriscofield@yahoo.com> To: exec.director@tdcj.texas.gov Nov 13 at 11:07 AM Dear Mr. Collier, I am writing to demand Mr. Keith "Malik" Washington's immediate release from Ad-Seg, and further demand your staff immediately cease and desist their state sanctioned terrorism and abuse against Mr. Washington. As recently as October 25, a representative of the State Classification Committee told Malik that he has no clue why Malik was re-assigned to Ad-Seg. I and many other activists world wide are repulsed and angered by the frequent humiliating strip searches, medical neglect, mail tampering and censorship, confinement 23 hours a day to a cell that often reached 100+ degrees in the summer, and other daily abuses too numerous to name. Mr. Washington is a fellow human being, residing on Earth, which makes him a family member of my tribe. I take seriously the responsibility to care for and about my family members and protect them by any means necessary. I have called upon the spirits of my ancestors to rain sickness and death upon all who have harmed Mr. Washington, sevenfold in proportion to the harm they have caused. Please contact me within 10 days and inform me when and how you are taking steps to end the state sanctioned torture and abuse of Mr. Washington while he is under your care and control. Terri Scofield PO Box 1302 Medford, NY, 11763 631-624-4938

Exec director Bryan colliers office secretary said she’s gotten tons of calls about him today :) left a message, gonna keep calling!!!

Thank you so much for organizing this effort! Update on the call: -- I was able to leave a comment with the receptionist at Executive Director Bryan Collier's office -- When I called the warden's office was transfered to the law library who was of course unable to take my call. I called back and was correctly transfered to Warden Sinfuentes and gave him my comment to which he said "duly noted." -- I was told that Regional Director Martinez would give me a call back because he was out to lunch. I left my phone number with the receptionist and will try again later if I don't hear back soon! Viva a resistencia!

After staying on hold to talk to warden directly, they hung up on me twice. Finally blurted the message to a secretary after calling the third time. Miguel Martinez wasn’t in office so I talked to the lieutenant on shift, got the whole message out but got a very indifferent response that he’ll let my concern be known. Assholes

Wasn’t able to reach director Martinez but was able to reach the assistant director, who’s name I forgot to write down, ha!

Just called, spoke to Stephanie(?) at Collier's office, who says of course our info is bad, and Malik has been disclosed the reason he was reassigned to Ad-seg, and that the State Classification Committee has been informed and made the decision themselves. Of course I don't believe any of it, but I pivoted by asserting to the receptionist that years in ad-seg aka solitary is clearly torture (as asserted by the UN special rapporteur for anything over a couple weeks I think), and that it is being used against someone who has been vocal in his concern for treatment of prisoners does not seem like a coincidence but clearly political repression. Collier's office cannot justify it.
