Brandon Fellows page 5 — Jacob Lang anthem assault 9/18/21, hole punishment

Page 5 of Fellows letter. 9/7/21 belongings thrown into bag for move that turned out to be a mistake - juice packet punctured spilling over 100+ papers, books, clothes. Requested therapist and eye exam - nothing. Contacts not allowed for month. "9/18/21 witnessed Jacob Lang get face slammed into wall and punched for singing the national anthem when guard told him not to." First week September lady yelled at him to wear mask while eating lunch - challenged how to eat with mask on. Put against wall, handcuffed, couldnt finish food, brought to 3 different locations all full so put in "the hole" until 6:30pm. "Other pods have food fights and swear at COs but we are forced to follow more strict rules and still get punished. No college classes like other pods, no treadmills or gamerooms." 9/14/21 clothes never came back, grievances no response, on third verbal complaint got new clothes 9/24/21 after wearing same clothes 1 week. Still not given long sleeve that was lost - told to wait 1 month or buy another.

From Alan Byerly #378160 — Final Call hate, blocked contacts, COs reveal cell

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.

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.
