JUSTICE FOR MARK BARNSLEY CAMPAIGN

Mark Barnsley in segregation

Changes (for the worst) were due to be introduced this week at HMP Frankland. Prisoners there were to be locked in their cells an extra 11 hours per week. They would have to collect and eat meals in 'association time', effectively cutting the time out of their cells by an extra 3 hours. Also visits were to be reduced in duration. Mark and other prisoners at Frankland were already locked in their cells for all but 3 hours a day and recently the cells themselves have been kept extremely hot. Prisoners are only able to open the small cell window about an inch to let in fresh air. Basically, this extra 'lock up' time will make life even more unbearable.

Right now we need people to phone and fax the Governor of HMP Frankland enquiring why Mark has been put in segregation. We need to make it clear to the prison authorities that Mark has a lot of supporters, concerned with his well being, who are monitoring the situation. Prior to being moved to Frankland, Mark was attacked and beaten by screws and regularly moved from prison to prison. We need to make it clear to the prison authorities that this kind of harassment is totally unacceptable. Your support as always is appreciated.

Please write/phone/fax the Governor of HMP Frankland:
