청원서의 내용

My uncle, a resident of the Middle River Regional Jail in Agusta County, has been subjected to unimaginable mistreatment. His basic amenities like water and clothing have been taken away from him, and he is only provided with finger food to eat. This isn't just about my uncle though - this jail has a reputation for neglect and abuse. Multiple lawsuits have been filed against them, painting a disturbing picture of systemic cruelty. 

The 8th Amendment of our Constitution strictly prohibits cruel and unusual punishments, and the conditions at Middle River Regional Jail seem to blatantly violate this amendment. There appear to be no checks and balances in place to safeguard the rights and welfare of the inmates. This situation is not only legally untenable; it goes against our values as a society upholding the principles of humanity, dignity, and justice.

Sadly, this isn't an issue unique to Middle River Regional Jail. The Prison Policy Initiative reports that the United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world with over 2.3 million people in confinement, with countless examples of mistreatment across the nation. This needs to change.

We need to stand up against this inhumane treatment of prisoners, not just for my uncle, but for all those who are facing these unjust conditions every day. The time to act is now - to press for accountable oversight, improved conditions, and reform of the system hands-on. Please, lend your voice to this cause, and let's fight together for justice and human rights. Please sign this petition.


It is not fair at all. Do you want your loved ones to be not taken care of.
