   Indiana prison brutality   
   Westville, Ind.-Systematic torture and brutal conditions exist in every   
   maximum control facility across this country. The maximum control   
   facility here in Indiana has been the site of many violations of   
   prisoners' human and civil rights in its 12 year existence.   
      
   In the last two months, prisoners all over the facility have become the   
   victims of physical attacks by extremely violent Gestapo troops. This   
   must be exposed and immediate help is required. Last month during a   
   unit search of our cells, a prisoner named Arelius Bucannon was   
   attacked by some control unit pigs. He was slammed to the floor and had   
   his head and face smashed into the concrete by the boot of one of these   
   pigs. He was also shocked four times by a stun gun, which caused burn   
   marks on his neck.   
      
   Two prisoners, David Taylor and Jerald Jessup, have started a hunger   
   strike due to the horrible medical conditions of this facility. This   
   action is very serious. It is a last desperate attempt by these two men   
   to receive adequate and effective medical attention. Food here is   
   already scarce and inadequately portioned, so to go on a hunger strike,   
   you know this must be the final call.   
      
   These men aren't eating anything, nor are they drinking water. They   
   plan to strike until someone addresses the conditions here. All of our   
   challenges are being undermined by staff members or informants. These   
   men may die, so I ask that this be addressed as a matter of importance.   
      
   Taylor suffers from kidney stones and the department of corrections has   
   failed to approve surgery to have them removed. Jessup is an elderly   
   man who suffers from congestive lung problems and chronic pain. He has   
   hearing in only one ear.   
      
   This is a call for support. They need your help.
