Prisoners Medical Care

There over two million men and women incarcerated in America's prisons which operate void of public scrutiny. The remedy to the abuse and neglect (physical, psychological, and medical) of prisoners lies first in its exposure. Its exposure will be the result of a thorough, outside investigation. It is the job of our Congress to investigate the abuse and corruption within America's prisons. It is our job to make Congress see the dire need to investigate.

The Jeff Dicks Coalition is a non profit organization that tries to ensure that prisoners
get adequate medical care.

The Jeff Dicks Coalition consists of members who are committed to making a peaceful change in the procedures that direct the actions of those responsible for operating our courts and our State and Federal prison systems, as well as educate everyone who are unaware of how much inhumane treatment and abuses are being committed on prisoners.

There are many medical abuses in the system that go beyond what many people could even imagine. Guards making crippled inmates take top bunks, make them crawl to get their medications and worse.

Many people are wrongly convicted and sent to prison to die, either by the hands of guards, or by the death chambers. We believe that all prisoners have the right to be protected by guards who take it upon themselves to torture, rape, beat and kill those under their care. We believe that prisoners have the right to expect medical care when needed, and not to be denied that care or treatment because they are locked up.

Jeff Dicks was wrongly convicted and sentenced to die in TN electric chair. Even though there was a lot of evidence to show he was innocent, including a letter from a minister in Nashville who says in the letter that Jeff was innocent, he was allowed to be killed with medical neglect. www.jeffdicks.net

How can you help?

• Become a member of JDMC

• Volunteer. Most families of prisoners aren't joining. Make an exception and show you care where others don't. All it takes is a few hours a month to write letters or make calls on behalf of a prisoner. We desperately need state leaders as we'd like to have at least one leader for each state to handle cases from that state.

• Write your representatives related to medical abuse issues

• Donate time, a book of stamps or money to help the national chapter

• Start a state chapter if none exists.

• Spread the word.
