JLS, Ca. Corcoran Committee

(This is a statement from people currently on strike in California’s largest prison in response to a COVID-19 outbreak)

As result of the late Coronavirus Pandemic, their has been a lot of unclear actions taken by Corrections Departments and County Jail/Juvenile Detention Facilities Heads, and State Representatives, on just what is the state and nature of things as it relates to WE in custody. The greatest part these actions have been harmful to the California, U.S. Constitutional Protections of prisoners, and persons in the Custody of the County, ( To include City, Private and ICE Facilities ) to the extent of Unnecessary Force being Applied and Used against Prisoners.

Leaders of SATF Jailhouse Lawyer Speaks, Ca. Corcoran Committee has determined enough is enough. WE ‘ER ON STRIKE !!!!!

This Statement goes to enforce upon California heads of state and Department of Corrections reps, with all of its Institutions, Facilities and Faculties, just what our FREEDOMs are, and the DEMAND of FREEDOM from said rights being Disregarded, Ignored, Suspended or Terminated without lawful warrant and the processes of contest.

Our Freedoms are.:

1) To be recognized as Human Beings, and Indiviuals protected by, if nothing else, the U.N. Decleration on Human Rights/ Rights of Indigenous Nations- Peoples Groups-, and Treaties against torture and wrongful treatment of prisoners ( The Nelson Mandela Rules ),

2) To put our Trust in something greater than socially disconnected Politicians scape goating for election into corrupt offices of state. Whether it be called God, Science/ Native American – Twa Medicine, Nature, or Tribal Nation, there must be the power of sedition between state and church,

3)To benefit equally from the Law as those who have enforced Laws against WE, Those in SERVICE of our so-called “DEBT TO SOCIETY”, in the Commercial, Common, Criminal/ Civil and Corporate forums of Law,
