Chad Jackson is a guest of the people of the state of Florida at the Martin Correctional Institution. HE is now in the hole, not because of anything he did but because his mother is a pain in the ass.
Geraldine Harriel showed up at the prison to protest living conditions there. She wasn't alone. Prison staff issued her and some of her road dogs trespass warnings. She is now barred from seeing her son, at least temporarily. Sonny boy is in until 2020 on drug charges.
Mommie and her friends are fairly serious shit stirrers. Their actions have been linked (kind of interesting word there) to at least one prison riot and one state-wide lockdown. Prison officials say the shit stirrers have been inciting prisoners to violence.
The local S O's records seem to back up the protesters version of where they were (not on prison grounds) and what they were doing (peacefully being bozos). The protesters assert they are being threatened by prison staff and are being told that their family members who are guests of the state will be retaliated against for the protests.
Maybe it's just me and I am only seeing a very small piece of the picture, but it seems to me that the people at the Florida DOC in general and Martin C.I. in particular are a whole lot more worried about people protesting allegedly deficient living conditions than they should be, assuming of course the living conditions are in fact decent.
