  • Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons
    Testimonies of Torture in New Jersey Prisons EVIDENCE OF HUMAN RIGHTS VIOLATIONS A collection of testimonies from prisoners in New Jersey prisons, documenting uses of physical, chemical, and no-touch torture, among other human rights abuses. American Friends Service Committee Northeast Region Healing Justice Program Edited by: Bonnie Kerness Director, Prison Watch Program 89 Market Street, 6th floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Editorial Assistant Jessica Gonzalez Intern, Prison Watch Program Torture in New Jersey Prisons ǀ Evidence of Human Rights Violations February 2015 INTRODUCTION The American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) is a Quaker faith based organization that promotes lasting peace with justice, as a practical expression of faith in action. AFSC’s interest in prison reform is strongly influenced by Quaker (Religious Society of Friends) activism addressing prison conditions as informed by the imprisonment of Friends for their beliefs and actions in the 17th and 18th centuries. AFSC has spoken out on behalf of prisoners whose voices are all too frequently silenced. Drawing on continuing spiritual insights and working with people of many backgrounds, we nurture the seeds of change and respect for human life that transform social relations and systems. For over two decades, the Prison Watch Program of the American Friends Service Committee, located in Newark, NJ, has been collecting testimonies in the form of letters from prisoners across the United States. These letters document various human rights abuses in US prisons, including, but not limited to, physical, chemical, and no-touch torture at the local, state and federal levels. It is clear that the concepts of international human rights law need to find their way into the US law enforcement, judicial and prison systems.

  • “From the Inside Out”
    “FROM THE INSIDE OUT” A report by the Prison Watch Community Oversight Initiative December 2016 Issue #1 This report was created by Program Director Bonnie Kerness (973-410-3978/ [email protected]), Interns Rachel Frome and Marshall Justice Rountree, and with further assistance from Jean Ross, Esq. and CLASP’s Kunal Sharma, Esq. and Billimarie Lubiano Robinson. Prison Watch Program 89 Market St, 6th Floor Newark, NJ 07102 (973) 643-3192 Dear Friends, This first issue of Inside Out: The Prison Watch Community Oversight Initiative, was suggested by the people confined in the NJ penal system a number of years ago to provide people in the community with specific examples of conditions in our state’s prisons. Their feeling - and ours - has been that this kind of initiative will enable more people to better understand the prison system, which is expensive, dysfunctional and largely concealed sector of our society. We believe that such understanding will enable and motivate communication and collaboration in order to more effectively address the problems emerging from these inside reports. We also hope that the connections we create will enable us to eventually serve as an Emergency Response Network, with the capacity to counter individual as well as systemic instances of harm, when the need arises. We think that the information that we distribute should prompt formal legislation that decrees independent prison oversight. The voices reflected in the reports below are those who have agreed to stay in touch with community-based advocates on a regular basis. They are giving us information regarding what is happening to and around them.

    89 Market Street, 6th Floor | Newark, NJ 07102 | 973-643-1924 “FROM THE INSIDE OUT” ​ A report by the ​ Prison Watch Community Oversight Initiative Issue 3 - June 2017 This is a community effort created by the voices inside. With Program Director Bonnie Kerness (973-410-3978/ [email protected]), Marshall (Justice) Rountree, Jean Ross, Esq, and Lydia Thornton. Dear Friends: “We would like to thank the Rev. Charles Boyer for the concept of an issue focusing on health care issues, both mental and physical, in New Jersey prisons. As Piper Kerman in her book “Orange is the New Black” noted on her first day in prison, “the most dangerous thing you could do in prison was get sick”. We have made the decision to focus this entire issue on the health care needs of our sisters and brothers inside the walls, based on that suggestion, and because we get so many letters weekly from people asking for our assistance in getting their basic (emergent and chronic) physical and mental health needs met within our prisons and other institutions. Both national and international norms address health related rights and protections. 1. The United Nations Convention against Torture (CAT) forbids any punishment intentionally designed to inflict ​ ​ severe physical or mental pain and suffering. 2. The International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (CESCR) ​ ​ Article 12 (1) The States Parties to the present Covenant recognize the right of everyone to the enjoyment of the highest attainable standard of physical and mental health. According to the ACLU: "Each day, men, women, and children behind bars suffer needlessly from lack of access to adequate medical and mental health care.

Torture in United States Prisons | Evidence of Human Rights Violations Introduction When prison doors close behind men and women they become our prisoners. If we are their family and friends, we may visit, write, call, and advocate on their behalf. If they are anonymous, we will likely dismiss them with the thought, “they broke the law—that was their choice— and now they must pay the penalty.” And we proceed about our daily lives without looking over the prison wall. It is time we did just that; prisons reflect the societies that create them.
