How to Help
The crisis in Alabama’s prisons is in full view. People are dying at unprecedented rates, families are living with constant fear, and the state’s own data shows a system marked by violence and neglect.
Recently, Melvin Ray, Robert Earl Council (Kinetik Justice), and Raoul Poole — three incarcerated whistleblowers featured in the film “The Alabama Solution” — were abruptly transferred to solitary confinement at Kilby Correctional Facility.
We need your help to demand the safety of these men and all those incarcerated in Alabama’s prisons. Your voice matters — here are three ways to use it.
1. Write a Letter to ADOC and the Prison Oversight Committee demanding an end to the retaliation against these whistleblowers.
Use the tool below to send a letter to the leaders of the Alabama Department of Corrections and the legislators on the Joint Prison Oversight Committee, demanding they protect the whistleblowers and release them from solitary confinement.
And please SHARE the post below, encouraging others to join the letter-writing campaign.
2. Call Kilby Correctional Facility and demand the safety of Robert Earl, Melvin, and Raoul.
We urge the public, media, and officials to contact Kilby at (334) 215-6600 to demand that they confirm their intention to maintain the safety of Mr. Ray, Mr. Council, and Mr. Poole, and to ensure that they and others are not retaliated against.
You can also SHARE the post below, encouraging others to call Kilby Correctional Facility.
3. Sign onto our open letter for safety and accountability in Alabama’s prisons.
Join fellow Alabamians in calling on Alabama’s elected officials and our Department of Corrections to increase transparency and accountability, and to ensure constitutional protections for incarcerated Alabamians.
