Petizione
contro la decisione di sospendere le visite
speciali per i detenuti condannati a morte di livello 2 e 3.
Si
tratta di una decisione arbitraria unicamente a scopo punitivo e non
contemplata dal regolamento del TDCJ.

Dear Mr. Johnson,
we have
been informed about new restrictions applied to the visitation rules at
the
Terrell Unit in Livingston.
Warden
Zeller has apparently decided to restrict the visits for level 2 and 3
death
row prisoners to one single monthly regular visit and to suspend al
special
visits for those prisoners until they make level 1.
According
to our sources, this is against current visitation rules of TDCJ; in
addition
TDCJ was apparently not aware of Warden Zeller's decision.
It's clear
that Warden Zeller's decision as to
whether they are to be suspended or not is totally arbitrary. As a
matter of
fact he is making up these rules without any authority nor necessity to
do so.
Therefore he should be urged to follow the correct procedures for visitation
which have already been defined by the
prison system itself and give up imposing rules of his own that have no
legal basis within the system and no actual justification. Which we do
hope
that you will soon demand Warden Zeller
to.
Respectfully yours,

cognome e l'indirizzo completo

Data: mercoledì 17 ottobre 2001 22.08
Per fare in modo che i
detenuti abbiano sempre meno cose in
cella alla Polunsky Unit sta per entrare in vigore una nuova ASSURDA regola.
Le cosidette "properties" proprietà dei detenuti,
dai vestiti al cibo, alle bibite, ai libri e quant'altro devono poter
essere
contenute in due borse della misura di un cuscino. Altrimenti vengono
confiscate.
Con questa Urgentissima Campagna di invio lettere di
protesta, intendiamo chiedere alle
autorita' competenti di evitare che questa inutile e distruttiva regola
venga
applicata.
Vi preghiamo quindi di partecipare in massa e di
inoltrare
il testo della lettera a tutti i vostri conoscenti, diffonderla tramite i
vostri siti internet, etc...
Ricordate quindi di stamparla, firmarla
con il vostro nome,
cognome ed indirizzo completo, ed inviarla ai recapiti dai noi forniti, via
fax, o con affrancatura di posta prioritaria (1 francobollo da 1200 lire + un
francobollo da 300 lire) per un totale di
Vi preghiamo inoltre di tenerci informati qualora doveste
ricevere delle risposte.
Grazie per la collaborazione.

From: The Italian Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty
Dear Mr. Johnson,
we have been informed about new
restrictions
imposed to inmates on death row at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston.
We have been personally contacted by some
inmates denouncing further limitations with regards to their own
properties.
According
to our sources, they are now cutting the inmatesıproperty down again,
in order
to make it fit into basically two
standard pillow cases.
Which means
that commissary, envelopes, books, under clothes, winter clothes,
letters,
included large sized items as laundry
soap in big boxes, and cokes, all that
is supposed to be contained in two
standard pillow cases.
It is
simply absurd, for anyone canıt help realizing itıs not possible.
In our opinion, this restriction is nothing
but a further harassment inflicted to the inmates, because it wonıt allow them
to have anything to keep themselves occupied.
That is
going to affect their mental health by adding up to the isolation and the
privations they are already forced to. Besides, itıs going to make their life
conditions only more inhumane.
DR inmates had been previously given the
permission of having the extra space for books and little art supplies as well
as all kinds of items allowed by the regulation itself. There is apparently no
reason why they should be denied it again, now.
Hopefully
you will want to courtesly give us some
explanations, because to us itıs hard to estimate this restriction other
than unfair and totally unjustified.
In fact, we
urge you to please think over the actual need of
effects it will have on DR population.
We sincerely hope you will prevent it from
being applied.
Awaiting your kind reply
Respectfully yours,
