Support the Dallas 6: WAYS TO HELP

The juried trial of the Dallas 6 held April 4, 2016 in Wilkes-Barre, PA ended in a mistrial. Riot charges were dropped against the last 3 men. The District Attorney has decided to pursue assault charges against last Dallas 6 member Carrington Keys.

Family and supporters need your help!

1. SPREAD THE WORD

The Dallas 6 are facing false charges because they contributed to a Human Rights Coalition report(1) and then subsequently stood up for their lives, which is documented in another report(2). It is critical to support the brave action of these men for what they've done. Because of the legal precedent that this court case will establish, it is important that the facts of this case as well as proceedings be witnessed by legal professionals, mainstream media, human and civil rights activists, students and educators.

Members of the Dallas 6 and their family members are available to speak to press and colleges! Contact Shandre Delaney, the mother of Carrington Keys of the Dallas 6, at sd4hrc@gmail.com or 412-403-6101.

Who are the Dallas 6?

At SCI Dallas (PA), after a series of abuses at the hands of corrections officials, some prisoners housed in the solitary confinement unit decided they had enough and decided to stage a protest in response to the inhumane conditions and mistreatment of prisoners. Each prisoner involved in the protest is now collectively referred to as the Dallas 6.

On April 28th 2010, one prisoner by the name of Isaac Sanchez was subjected to a planned attack by the Restrictive Housing Unit (RHU) staff, forcibly removed from his cell and brutally beaten by officers in star wars uniforms (riot gear).

Prisoner Sanchez was subject to this attack as a result of speaking out against the abuse at Dallas prison on behalf of his fellow comrades.

After a series of abuses, official misconduct and outright administrative corruption, 6 prisoners at SCI Dallas decided it was time to do something about the inhumane conditions, immediately, before another prisoner dies or is brutally harmed.

As revealed in the Human Rights report, there has long been a policy within the prison walls of Dallas and the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections (DOC) to operate a corrupt administration under an iron wall of silence.

Under this iron wall or code of silence, SCI Dallas, PA DOC, District Attorneys Office, Attorney Generals Office as well as the Pennsylvania State Police operates in participation and conjunction with one another to cover up crimes and misconduct by state offices by overlooking video footage of officers caught on video tape committing human rights violations.
