THUG-HUGGING ACTIVISTS SUPPORT DANGEROUS, VICIOUS INMATES TO THE DETRIMENT OF THE GENERAL PRISON POPULATION

Human rights activists are supporting California’s hunger-striking prison inmates and want dangerous killers released from solitary confinement back into the general prison population

Liberal thug-huggers are more concerned about the conditions under which California’s most dangerous and vicious prison inmates are being confined than they are about the human rights of the general prison population to be protected from getting killed, raped and beaten into a bloody pulp.

LEAD CALIFORNIA PRISON CRITIC IS AN INMATE WHO KILLED ANOTHER INMATE

I wonder if Californians have had a rather relaxed attitude about Gov. Jerry Brown’s plans to reduce the state inmate population – and the courts’ actions to further pare down the number of California inmates — in part because the death penalty in California has been stalled since February 2006. As a result, voters have not been deluged with the delusional justifications which the pro-killer lobby used to make as activists denounced the death penalty as barbaric while overlooking the crimes of stone cold killers. I refer to the defenders of such violent notables as Stanley Tookie Williams, Kevin Cooper and Michael Morales.

With the movement to brand California prisons’ Security Housing Units as “solitary confinement” and “torture,” the campaign to end the SHU feels like a bad flashback. In this case, the thug-huggers want the state to release the most dangerous inmates back into the general prison population — with little regard to the consequences to less dangerous inmates. Yes,these are the folks who are supposed to really care about human rights.

It’s amazing how the folks who consider the SHU to be torture aren’t bothered with the records of the four inmates who head the Short Corridor Collective. They’re all convicted murderers. The leader of the group, Todd Ashker, killed another inmate in prison.

Leaders of the pack

These four convicted killers call themselves the Short Corridor Collective, which is spearheading the hunger strike in California prisons:

Todd Ashker is serving 21 years to life for the stabbing murder of a fellow inmate and member of the Aryan Brotherhood in 1987.

Antonio “Chuco” Guillen began serving a 25-years-to-life sentence for murder in 2000.

Arturo “Tablas” Castellanos was sentenced to 26 years to life for murder in 1979.

Ron Dewberry, also known as Sitawa Nantambu Jamaa, is serving 25 years to life for murder.
