“Good” News:
Russell Shoats Transferred to Death Row

January 8, 2006

We got some good news from Maroon today regarding the ongoing harassment he's been subjected to by guards Peters and Lynch at SCI-Greene. Maroon said that an assistant to the warden came to see him in his cell and, after telling him what's been going on, he was transferred to the death row unit. Two guards stepped in to escort him to his new cell, after telling him they would escort him rather than have Peters and Lynch do it.

They told him straight up that Lynch and Peters were mad about all the pressure they've come under and that given the chance they would kick his ass. Maroon reports that the death row unit he's on is real quiet, he has all his property back and a cell search was done, without tearing his cell andproperty up. Thanks to all who have supported Maroon by writing or calling over the past few months.

Unfortunately, Peters and Lynch are still terrorizing other prisoners under their watch. One of the prisoners is Shabaka (André Gay), who is serving a life sentence
and has been in the RHU for over 8 years. He's a strong revolutionary- minded brother, and has been playing a leading role in rebuilding Pennsylvania's prison movement. 

We urge all concerned to write Shabaka and give whatever support possible. Please write him at:
Andre Gay # AF-4377

Struggle!

Write to Russell and let him know he has our support:
