After FBI arrest they "claimed I ran, tried to shove my phone up a candy vending machine and ditched my vehicle in the middle of a busy road, all lies." FBI impounded his bus. At first hearing prosecution shared lies to put him on house arrest with mother who abused him. FBI kept business/tax records and phone until a customer complained to police. Subsequent revocation hearings - prosecution lied to revoke, denied (stricter requirements); 2nd revo officer lied; 3rd revo granted over missed rescheduled therapy session. First 2 weeks at Albany Jail (less than) - cell with no sink, guards once/day, begging inmates for water, hot in just boxers, food not adequate, birds flew in and pooped during day.

Alan Byerly — "Hole" placement for "looking white"

Letter from J6 detainee Alan Byerly #378160. The Final Call newsletter circulated with racist theology calling white people swine/pigs/dogs by Louis Farrakhan. Denied Church/Clergy/Barber unless vaccinated. Food barely edible - dinner 9/15/21 at 8:40pm was 2 hard boiled eggs, 4 pieces bread, scant noodle salad, 4 cookies, tartar sauce. Over half his GTL tablet contacts cant message him, including Power of Attorney and his father. Filed informal complaint - reply said they were blocked but he can check himself. Contact visits with family/attorneys require vaccine or 2-week quarantine - yet same people served papers via outside visitor (rules only when inconvenient). Added 5 new phone numbers, waited 2 days, none worked. At C.D.F. intake told would be PC to get to CTF but sent to quarantine with General Population prisoners. COs blurted out his cell # so other prisoners knew.
