Being deemed as a threat for security reasons, supermax prison says Obama can not have his books in that prison. I WONDER WHY ?
This is your president.... You all must be very proud of your president. He is the first one to have his book banned from prisons. The vegetables that voted for this guy are TRAITORS. I suspect the extreme views in the books are the hateful comments about WHITE PEOPLE? Also, the comments about Israel I am sure were seen as a threat to fuel the Muslim recruitment in prison.

Over 30 artists and activists participated in a mud stencil action on June 6th, 2009 in Chicago. The event was organized by the Tamms Year Ten coalition, the Milwaukee artist Jesse Grave, and Nicolas Lampert of the Justseeds Radical Artists Cooperative. The action was designed to bring more public attention to the human rights abuses at the Tamms supermax prison in southern Illinois. Stencil crews went to various parts of the city, put up mud stencils on sidewalks and walls, and handed out fact sheets to curious pedestrians who were surprised to see "ecological" street art and an image that read "End Torture in Illinois" with the outline of the state and a star marking the location of the Tamms prison.

UPDATE 04/12/2010 7:24AM Pacific: EXTREME ABUSE AT ORANGE COUNTY JAIL RIGHT NOW! CALL AND EXPRESS YOUR CONCERN! THERE ARE FEW CAMERAS (ONLY IN HALLWAYS) EXTREME ABUSE (BROKEN ARMS, PUNCHING PREGNANT WOMEN IN THE STOMACH, HEAD FIRST THROWN INTO CONCRETE FLOORS AND WALLS-VERBAL ABUSE IS BEYOND ANYTHING). TORTURE TECHNIQUES BEING USED! THREATS OF HARM WHEN OUTSIDE THE JAIL. THE LIST GOES ON AND ON...and this is just a fraction of what happens at the womens jail. Call your local paper. Call whoever you can. A demon has taken a hold of these men and women officers. Please also look into the standford jail project at www.prisonexp.org/ it explains how people in the position they hold might be able to do these things to other humans. This is serious. No prank. I am not mentally ill on meds or under the influence of drugs. Remember someone could lie or change the story. There could be more people corroberating their side ...and you would end up in jail. No body should have to be in that position and nobody should be abused physically and mentally to these extremes. Think of the consequences...now think of the consequences if we allow this to continue. I've lived in this area for a huge chunk of my life and had no clue this was occurring. It was right under my nose.
I don't wanna go to any of these jails!
