Jamil Al-Amin needs our help!

After filing a complaint with prison officials that guards were opening his legal mail from his wife, Jamil Al-Amin was moved to another area of the Reidsville Prison. The area he is currently in is reserved for mental patients, and those who throw their food at guards. When Imam Jamil asked why he was moved to that area of the facility, he was informed that a guard (the same guard that illegally opened his mail) had put on his record that Jamil Al-Amin had assaulted him.
The food Jamil Al-Amin is being “served” is brought uncovered, and fed to him through what can only be considered a troth (which is the way pigs and other farm animals are fed). Prison officials also use same opening used to push his food through to mop the dirty floor of the cell, furthering the possibility of contamination. This unsanitary food handling has prompted Imam Jamil to refuse the food from the Prison entirely; in essence Imam Jamil is on a hunger strike.

Jamil Al-Amin’s defense team is asking that he be moved to another facility because he is not recieving fair treatment at Reidsville as a result of filing his complaint.  We have an obligation to contact the Warden and ask for his fair treatment.

Please write or call the Warden at the;

Reidsville Prison
Stephen Upton , Warden
Georgia State Prison
Reidsville, GA 30453

or call

The initials of the guard that both opened Jamil Al-Amin’s mail and added the false assault incident to his record are “A.D”.

Please remember not to make threats or allegations. Examples of concerns to raise in your correspondence would be the following:

Why was Jamil Al-Amin recently moved into an further isolation, and to an area of the prison reserved for patients with mental problems?

Why is Jamil Al-Amin still being held in Administrative Segregation?

What is being done to ensure the best interests of Jamil Al-Amin’s safety and heath?

Please circulate this widely and do all you can to help Imam Jamil Al-Amin!

Jazaka’ Allah Khairun
