IN THE
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE
DISTRICT OF COLORADO
Matthew Hale,
Plaintiff
vs. C.A. No. 14:-cv-00245
Federal Bureau of Prisons
AMICUS COMMENTARY TO MOTION FOR LEAVE (DOCUMENT 236) TO RESTRICT
COMES NOW Evelyn Hutcheson,
a seventy-nine [79] year old woman and mother of the Plaintiff Matthew Hale who
has read Document 236 via the Internet.
I cannot believe or
understand how such an outrageous document has made its way into the court
records. The issue presented therein is nothing more than a specious argument
that somehow, communication to my son will result in violent acts by the
individuals who have taken the time to cheer him in his unjust incarceration.
But even if the Court could entertain the argument presented, immediately Mr.
Troyer proves himself inaccurate at best and dishonest at worst when he states
in paragraph 4, “The BOP does not seek total exclusion . . .” How does this
statement justify the fact that my attempts to reach my son by mail have been
returned to me with the comment that these are “gang related” without any type
of justification for this conclusion? This is the opinion of one Rudy Marques,
the man in charge of reading my son’s mail. He states that I am a “security
risk” as I suppose is everyone who has attempted to contact my son as their
letters have also been returned with that same “justification.”
The prison facility is also
interfering with my son’s letters by holding them for an extended period of
time before putting them in the mail—always providing they are doing so.
I received a letter from the Warden when I complained of this interference. His
explanation was that the letters were being sent to the wrong post office
box and this necessitated their being returned to the senders. He stated
that Matt’s box number was 8000, but that was a lie. The correct box number—the
one that was always used—was 8500; it has always been 8500. The fact of the
matter is that this entire matter is blatant harassment of my son who is
already suffering from an unjust imprisonment for a crime that was never
contemplated much less committed.
The prison has also
suspended my son’s ability to phone me for six months ostensibly because he
wrote an article—Why Do I Want To Be Free—included in one of his filings
indicating that his mail was being withheld. When I requested a copy of same,
it was refused but at least the authorities then began to take our calls. At a
hearing held on the matter, the Hearing Officer ruled that the prison cannot
restrict what Matt files. But despite that ruling and the fact that the matter
was thereupon dropped, the authorities have taken away our two monthly fifteen
minutes phone calls. Who do I Want to be Free... By Rev Matt Hale
If the authorities are so
confident in the rightness of their case, why are they doing all in their power
to have the Court initiate such restraint as would prevent us from even reading
what they are charging? Surely, one of the most important and cherished
guarantees under the law is to know what is being charged against you so that
you may respond accordingly?
I pray that you in your
position as a proponent of the law, put an end to the persecution of my son and
those who love and respect him by nullifying these mendacious efforts on the
part of the BOP to isolate him from his family and friends.
Pursuant to 28 U. S. Code
§1746 —
“I declare under penalty of
perjury that the foregoing is true and correct.”
Respectfully submitted,
