haven’t been able to get to the lock-down unit where they are being
held.

Reidsville, where we are, is hiding some of those brothers. This
place has a history of hiding people, as they did Imam Jamil A. Al-Amin

including my old cellmate, are being held for murder and robbery of an
older white prisoner, who occupied the bunk I slept in after I was put
in the “hole.” These folks have been just holding these young brothers.
They haven’t indicted neither one of them, haven’t fingerprinted either
of them, aren’t giving them their proper segregation hearing — just
holding them in lockup. It’s an interesting story, especially in light
of everything taking place in Georgia now and with this place being a

call them the “Reidsville 3.”
