"I
was there at Lucasville. The conditions were bad. The administration
kept taking things away from the inmates. They were harassing the
Muslims, forcing them to take TB shots. This is one of the big reasons
the riot went down.
"I knew of the riot 2 months before it went off. Several [word missing?] were
going around, getting everything ready. The food was bad, they gave us
less time out of the cell. I know this: the administration wanted
this riot to happen. They even tried to start a race riot. The administration did, and there are a lot of racists, black and white.
"To me the riot was senseless. They didn't get nothing accomplished!
"[More recently?] Central Office and our new governor tried to start a riot by taking smoking away; nothing happened."

The Lucasville Uprising was a rebellion against oppressive and racist policies at the Southern Ohio Correctional Facility (SOCF) in Lucasville, OH. Nine inmates and one guard died during the uprising in April of 1993. Today, many people are serving time or condemned to death by the state of Ohio in relation to the uprising. We demand amnesty for all of these inmates. The conditions at SOCF were (and still are) intolerable and unconscionable.

Mosi Paki has been transferred to a lower security level at Grafton CI. He is expecting to be released to a halfway house this summer!
Abdush Shahid Faruq (Grinnell) has been transferred out of ManCI, to Ross CI. This transfer came after much harassment from guards who even put a hit out on Shahid.
Both addresses have been updated on the CONTACTS page.
