Please give a quick look at this important story featured this evening on NBC. Two men have been held in solitary confinement for well over three decades–the longest solitary stretch currently being served in America. Moreover, the charges that hold them do not stand up to scrutiny. This is one of the few pieces of major media attention this case has received, and it took long years of dedicated advocacy work to bring the story to this point. Friends of Justice recently joined the team of dedicated groups and individuals working to free these two men. Friends of Justice board member Tory Pegram (who worked with us on the Jena story) has been hired by the Angola Three team to head up this effort. As always, Tory is doing amazing work.

Friends of Justice 
I am from Jena LA, and everyone in the area knows how notorious prison officials and gaurds are at Angola. This is the worst sort of prison anyone can be held in. If you know anything about the Angola slave revolt then you understand the history and darkness of this place. There are stories (very real) of these men being placed in solitary confinemen as punishment for minor offenses or just because an inmate refuses to be treated inhumanely on a REGUILAR basis. Some of the stories you hear are unbelieveable, yet true.
No matter how those boys from Jena appear to people know. We thank God for their story and Allan Bean and others who exposed it to the world because now the “dirty south” as some call is being scrutinized.
