From Facebook, by Carrington Keys' mother:
My son Carrington Keys
asked me to let everyone know he appreciates their efforts throughout
the years and to thank everyone for their support. Please keep him in
your thoughts and prayers as he goes before the court this coming week.
He has the opportunity to bring before
the court what so many of our loved ones have been enduring in the PA
DOC. The racism, torture, abuse and outright violation of every human
right you can think of.
He was kept in solitary confinement
for many years and never let out simply because he refused to
discontinue filing lawsuits and taking a stand against racism and
unethical behavior. He has endured these abuses not for doing the
wrong thing while incarcerated but for doing the right thing! That is
being a young black man who has helped people of any race to overcome
these circumstances. He has much compassion and in his heart even
though he feared for his own life at time. No one deserves to be
beat, tortured or starved and thrown into the dungeon for years. No
one!
Well, On January 7th, my son will have his day in court
and I could not be more proud. He has truly been blessed with a gift to
articulate the law. He has endured something that many people would
not last one week in. Surely, God is his protector and shield. I am
asking all I know to pray, meditate, fast or whatever you do, on his
behalf. Victory is his!
For those who
don’t know this is also a part of another struggle. Carrington was
involved in a peaceful protest where he and 5 others were charged with
riot after the guards beat them for covering their cell windows. They
are known as the Dallas 6 and this is the blog related to their case.
