Deported From Freedom to Prison

Excerpts:

May the United States take a person who is living freely under American supervision and deliberately transfer him into potentially indefinite foreign maximum-security confinement, without a new judicial determination authorizing that deprivation of liberty?

It is in the selfish interest of the United States to send people away with as much goodwill toward the United States as circumstances permit.

Why are we paying to imprison a plumber when we could be helping put the plumber back to work?

Got the final order from the Attorney General

So this is what the final boss looks like?….this was who I had to make a way up to and held the decision?

I remember July 7, 2025 when I filed the initial petition to the courts… I wrote it up in the Law library next-door to the courthouse and walked over to the clerks… In order to sue the state you have to serve them like how any other summons get served face-to-face, or a police officer… I decided to go and serve them face-to-face so when I handed the paperwork to the clerk… she looked at me… Looked back at the paperwork, looked back at me… And as she shuffle the paperwork, she said:

“You know the State hates to lose right? If I were you I would get a lawyer”.

Little did she know I was turned down by every lawyer… none of them ever did this before they didn’t even know where to begin…but thru prayer and faith I trusted God…He ordered my steps…. it was a long and hard fight… Now it’s over…

Now the door is open for those wrongfully convicted to be able to be compensated for what the State did to them… once you understand the system you will finally see how much of a gold mine, the penal system is… The intention is not to rehabilitate… $116 billion per year to be exact.

The best was thrown at me and I got through it all… Now they putting me through school… this is where I developed the necessary tools to educate the others that was also done the same way …

This is just the beginning

Like my man Jahmarley once said in the holding cell waiting for court: “we are Unbreakable.”

I never forgot those words.

Need help immediately

Hello.. I am desperate for help, and need some serious guidance..
I have a family member at the south central correctional facility in TN. We are looking to get an emergency transfer and cannot seem to get any help or even answers on what our next step is. This family member sticks out like a sore thumb… first time offender, never been involved in any gang related activities.. and just not built for what goes on behind those walls… he has not been in there for more than a week and has already had his commissary stolen, he has been jumped, flashed shanks and we are already being extorted for hundreds of dollars for his “protection”. Those inmates run this prison. He was jumped infront of the COs and they did absolutely nothing. He is unable to go talk to the councilor as there is literally an inmate sitting with her. And if you have any type
Of knowledge about how prisons work then you know “snitching” will quite literally get you killed. We are in desperate need of what we can do to get an emergency transfer any help our guidance is appreciated. Thank you. Location: Clifton, Tennessee

Massachusetts eyes Norway's rehabilitation-focused prison model | Prison life in Norway and Northern Ireland looks markedly different from the US: incarcerated people buy groceries, cook their own meals and play board games with officers. The prisons “are designed to prepare people for release.”

Crime College: What Prison Really Teaches | “Prison seems like a crime college for some and a complete waste of time for others. It doesn’t rehabilitate people...Mostly, it feels like a warehouse system that lets the wealthy and connected bilk tax dollars in the name of fighting crime.”

British laws need revision, and I also believe that judges should be made accountable for the consequences of the sentences they pass.

I have watched murder24/7 recently on the British bsing channel and I'm so angry with what I've learnt - one guy had 17 previous convictions for wounding, assault, domestic abuse, abh, gbh ect - SEVENTEEN - then tortured and murdered a guy who only tried to help him.

This henious creature ( one of many )is serving only about 20 years now - is that 10 with good behaviour!!?!

I digress -

Imagine if the judicial system recognised that prolific violent offenders ( with all their profiling capabilities) that re offending is likely - therefore in the interest of public safety, permanently incarcerate them.

I know of PPO 's which are used to protect society - but 17 previous convictions -

Are we really all just sitting targets-

Judges should be made accountable for the sentences they pass - and subsequent consequences - f***ING shameful overpayed privileged a***wipes -

They should be incarcerated.

Anyone else agree?
