New Black Panthers To Fight For Georgia Prisoners

Georgia's correctional system could soon face a lawsuit from the New Black Panther Party and Black Lawyers for Justice.

The groups held a news conference at the Macon State prison Sunday. They announced their plans to investigate the treatment of inmates in Georgia prisons after receiving complaints from prisoners and their families.

The group says they are accusing state corrections officers of covering up inmate abuse. According to a press release from the New Black Panther organization, inmates are demanding a decent living wage for work, opportunities for higher education, better health care without excessive fees, and an end to cruel and unusual punishment.

"We want to go about it in a way that's civil and let the facilities that are doing these things know that we won't stand for it,"says Deron X, Muslim Minister with the Nation of Islam.

The organizations say they plan to release the results of their investigation within a few weeks. They also say any evidence of abuse found will determine what legal action they will take.

Isn't that covered under the rookie Hussein's new unemployment extension?

Some of the same old crapola from the 60’s. Liberals really do recycle their trash.

yup...the demos want to pay unemployment benefits to everyody. Prisoners need to learn to shup up.....they want better medical care???hell, they get it free now....they want educational opportunities.....well, if they were enrolled in a higher education facility when they were arrested, I suppose that we could cut them some slack......that will represent .0000000000001 of all prisoners, probably cost us $60.00 or so. If you don't want the negetive effects of prison life.....STAY OUT OF MY PRISON (calm down terry) I've about had it with those who don't want to behave themselves, work for a living, comply with societal mores, asking those of us who do to support their insane demands. No tickee....no laundry....old chinese joke but very meaningful. We spend the month of December begging for assistance for those who won't have a merry Christmas. Next year, we will be begging for the SAME people....mind you I'm not talking about those who can't.....just those that WON'T. Since I was a kid....60 years ago, it is the same group of people who expect society to support them. Why go to work when the state will send you a check every month for doing nothing......and next December, someone with a job will give your illegitimate kids free presents.....could the world get any better???

They have a point. Most inmates in Georgia are treated like common criminals. They have a right to be treated like the inmates in Massachusetts and in other liberal paradises, coddled, fed better than those who work productively for a living, and given the education that law-abiding citizens would have to pay for - at no charge to the hoodlum. As for being paid for work, they are entitled to a living wage, and to keep all of it, while the taxpayers take care of of the expenses that criminals in prison create for society. If they can elect a criminal to our White House, they deserve to be treated just as nicely as their First Criminal is treated.
