Jason Robb wrote and drew a zine about how the ODRC is manipulating prisoners to circumvent a supreme court ruling and keep beds filled at their supermax facility.
Behavior Modification. Ohio Supermax Level System.

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.

Bomani's Lawyers Request to be Removed.
From Justice for Keith LaMar...
Dear friends/supporters,
Please take a moment to read this VERY IMPORTANT update in Keith's case: Late last week, court-appointed counsel for Keith/Bomani filed paperwork requesting the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals remove them from his case. We aren't sure exactly on what basis these requests were made (perhaps they read his book?); nonetheless, Keith is happy at this news, because he had lost all confidence in his legal team back in 2012 and hasn't really even spoken to them since (see below for the explanation why).

Shadow of Lucasville Free Online
D Jones has released The Shadow of Lucasville for free online viewing. Watch it below, or at http://vimeo.com/urbnu/shadowscreen1.
We think it would be a shame if this release meant the film was only seen by individuals sitting alone in front of a screen. We know Hasan, Bomani and the other guys would very much still like to see communities of people gathering around the film, talking and asking questions over the phone. These conversations have often been the most powerful and emotionally transformative part of film screening events.
So, if you'd like to share this film with your community by setting up a screening, please let us know (email insurgent.ben@gmail.com) and we'll help you set up a phone call and a table of literature for people who want to make donations or take things home to read.
If you'd like to set up an event to host the film maker on your campus or community center, contact D Jones here: http://darklittlesecretmovie.com/contact-us/
Thank you!
