Luther King Day Rally at Ohio's Death Row
In what is becoming an annual event to oppose
Ohio’s death penalty, the family members, the Lucasville Five
Defense Committee out of Cleveland and other prisoner-advocacy groups
openly protested executions and prisoner treatment in general inside
the walls of the facility that now houses most of the death row
inmates.
Warren
Tribune Chronicle
Staughton
Lynd on Amy Goodman's Democracy Now!
Nine prisoners and a hostage officer were killed. A surrender was
negotiated, and no sooner was the surrender negotiated with various
prisoner spokespersons than the state of Ohio turned around and
began to build death penalty cases against those very leaders and
spokespersons. They didn’t care who had really done things.
They wanted to nail the leaders so that no prisoner would ever have
this idea again.

Rethinking
Ohio's Death Penalty
YOUNGSTOWN
- About 50 opponents of the death penalty gathered outside the Ohio
State Penitentiary to send a message. "We have a new governor,"
said Susan Schnur, 49, of Cleveland. "We're hoping this is
a starting point. We want Governor Strickland to see us." Full

journalist Mimi Rosenberg read Daniel McCauley's Prisonersolidarity
essay in a show that was dedicated to his memory, which focused
on youth incarceration, rehabilitation, prison reform, and the inhumane
conditions at supermax prisons (a comparison is made between Youngstown's
Ohio State Penitentiary and Guantanamo). The interviewed guests
were Staughton and Alice Lynd. Rosenberg's report aired on WBAI
New York, on the nationally syndicated morning show, "Wakeup
Call." You may listen to

Though
Hasan is still in jail, he's busier than ever. The 44-year-old writes
and receives dozens of letters in his supermax cell. He needs to
convince more people that he was convicted on jailhouse snitch testimony
that's since been recanted or contradicted, and without the advantage
of alternative witness accounts.
So almost every day, Hasan writes. He posts regular missives
on a Web portal, prisonersolidarity.org (which he also edits),
to communicate between prisoners and those on the outside. And he
constantly sends letters to possible supporters. Read
