My name is Angaza Iman Bahar, and for the last two decades I have been incarcerated within the Indiana Department of Corrections as Jimmy D. Jones #891782. This experience has transformed me into a conscious prisoner activist dedicated to fight for prisoner rights.
Currently the rights of African-American prisoners to be able to freely associate with outside progressive African-American organizations fr the purpose of cultural, historical, and political awareness has come under attack here at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility. The facility administration has enacted a policy of censorship that allows them to confiscate and deny access to all books and printed materials on the subject of the Black Liberation Movement, African-American newspapers that are progressive in content (Such as the San Francisco Bay View), and all printed material reporting on or promoting the Black Lives Matter movement.
Over the past year I have personally had over two dozen such correspondences confiscated and withheld by racist prison officials who are manipulating the ban on material that is “security threat group” related. I have chosen to fight this blatant display of racial discrimination by using the meager resources I have to file a federal discrimination lawsuit in the Southern District of Indiana US Court. I believe the fight is a just and necessary one for if we (prisoners) are not allowed to properly educate ourselves how will we ever be able to transform our mindwet and return to our communities ready and capable of being the men our communities so depserately need.
I am therefore seeking help from those out there serious about fighting injustice in the form of $5.00 donations to help cover legal fees and other costs associated with this struggle. All of your donations will be used for that purpose and are truly appreciated.
