Michigan prisoners protest food quality

Lansing — Michigan prisoners in an Upper Peninsula facility staged a food protest Sunday and Monday, according to the state Department of Corrections, which contracted with a new private food service company in August following well-documented problems with the prior vendor.

The protest at the Kinross Correctional Facility in Chippewa County was " an isolated incident," said department spokesman Chris Gautz, indicating that the state's three-year $158 million contract with Trinity Services Group has otherwise gone well.

Roughly 1,000 prisoners staged a silent protest Sunday night, leaving the yard area of the prison about 20 minutes ahead of schedule and returning to their housing units, according to Gautz.

"They were very calm, very polite," he said. "We did try to talk to some of the prisoners and understood it had something to do with food."

A large number of prisoners skipped breakfast the next morning, Gautz said. Only 60 prisoners came to lunch and 30 came to dinner, meals that are typically attended by roughly 1,200 prisoners.

Gautz said Trinity added some new items to the prison menu a few weeks ago, and some of the prisoner-population staff at Kinross had difficulty "maintaining consistency" with the new recipes.

The company brought in supervisors and managers to work with prisoner staff at Kinross after weekend complaints, he said, and meal attendance attendance had largely returned to normal by breakfast on Tuesday morning.

"We feel that things have gone pretty well with Trinity," Gautz said. "Any issues that we have had, they've been very responsive to, like this incident. They were right there as soon as we let them know there was an issue."

The state privatized prison food service as a cost-cutting move in 2011, but an original contract with Aramark was marked by controversy.

The state canceled the three-year, $145 million Aramark contract last summer after a series of high-profile incidents, including allegations that kitchen workers fed inmates a cake that had been partially eaten by rodents. Maggots were also spotted near food in several facilities.

The state has placed 59 "stop orders" on Trinity employees since the company began running food service in August, effectively barring those people from working in Michigan prisons, according to Gautz.

Most of those orders were the result of "over-familiarity" with inmates, a broad term that can include sharing personal information or engaging in inappropriate sexual activity.

By comparison, the state had placed 102 stop orders on Aramark employees during the first eight months of that contract, Gautz said.


Inmates protest food quality at northern Michigan prison

Washington Times | 23 March 2016

KINCHELOE, Mich. (AP) - About 1,000 inmates at a prison in Michigan's Upper Peninsula have participated in a peaceful protest over the quality of food provided by a state contractor, an official says.

Prisoners at Kinross Correctional Facility left the prison yard Sunday about 20 minutes early in silent protest. The next day, most of the facility's nearly 1,300 inmates didn't get meals as usual, Michigan Department of Corrections spokesman Chris Gautz said.

The protest related to complaints about the quality of food provided by Oldsmar, Florida-based Trinity Services Group, which replaced Philadelphia-based Aramark Correctional Services as Michigan's prison food contractor last year, the Detroit Free Press reported.

"This is the first issue that I've seen related to food in months," Gautz said, adding that Trinity has "been very responsive whenever there are issues."

The Associated Press sent an email Wednesday seeking comment from a Trinity spokesman.

The warden met with Trinity officials Monday, who brought in extra staff and said they were addressing some issues about the way some recently added menu items were being prepared, Gautz said.

Anita Lloyd, a spokeswoman for the Michigan Corrections Organization, said the union was concerned by the scope of the protest.

"It's hard to get 1,000 people to agree on anything," Lloyd said, noting that "we're glad it was peaceful this time."

Trinity's three-year, $158 million prison food contract was approved in July after Gov. Rick Snyder announced that Michigan and Aramark had mutually agreed to end their troubled three-year, $145 million contract early. Aramark and the state cut ties after company-initiated talks about a possible billing increase and other issues.

Michigan had fined Aramark $200,000 for unapproved menu substitutions, worker misconduct and other issues.

News from Reverend Joel Dufresne's prison is that the BLACKS are rioting and stabbing WHITES. The media are hiding the truth, so make sure to spread the news.


MDOC Investigating Upper Peninsula Prison Assaults

An Upper Peninsula correctional facility is working to stop inmate fighting.

There have been almost 20 assaults in just one week at a Chippewa County prison.

Investigations continue after several fights sent inmates to the hospital.

The fights began at Kinross Correctional Facility in Kincheloe last week.

It all began with a large fight a week ago, and more assaults reported since then,19 in all.

Six people were sent to the hospital for their injuries.

To help stop the fighting, the yard was shut down and there's more controlled access to the chow hall to avoid big crowds.

The Department of Corrections says 10 aggressors were also moved out of the facility.

"They're still going through that process and then they'll be able to have a better sense of exactly what happened so we can prevent it from occurring again in the future," spokesman for the Department of Corrections Chris Gautz said.

There have been no more assaults reported at the prison for several days now.

[THE PRISON AGREEMENT]

THE PRISON AGREEMENT
by Charles Olsen   #405314  &  Joel Dufresne  #257173


The primary and immediate objectives in the white racialist movement today are white unity and revolution There are various theories on what methods should be applied to reach these goals.  Many have great potential, yet some are contradictory too, and may actually hurt the movement.  The exclusion of prisoners from general support and open recruitment is one of these injurious methods.  By ignoring the value of white inmates within our vast prison population you bypass a great pool of potential.


Some of the more pressing concerns involving inmates are that they are degenerate, disloyal, deviant, untrustworthy, prone to gang involvement and drug use.  Basically they are criminals.  Yet these people were not born criminals.  Corrupt society, Z.O.G. Media, forced integration and indoctrination are to blame for the massive prison population today.  The prison industry requires a proliferation of laws, harsher sentences, bought and paid for judges and prosecutors, and an increasing number of White inmates to offset the predominance of "minorities" filling these cells so as not to be labelled racially discriminatory.


Young Whites are raised to idolize black and Mexican cultures, then, in turn, to hold their own White culture in complete disdain.  Our youth commit crimes and join gangs to gain acceptance into these alien cultures.  They believe they have no other choice especially when no one is there to help instil pride in their race.  If racially conscious individuals are not there than the mighty cause of equality will fill the void. 


Once in prison the harsh realities of their life finally begin to surface. The fact that they will never be accepted as an equal by the other racial groups becomes apparent.  With their minds liberated from the poisons of popular American culture they begin to see things from a different perspective.  This is the crucial point in a persons life that, with guidance and support, can bring about a personal inner revolution, which creates the devoted adherents our cause needs so badly.


Some of these young Whites are lucky and run into intelligent, knowledgeable individuals that help them down the righteous path. Others are not so lucky and get lost in the dark recesses of confusion with no guiding light to lead them to consciousness,  These lost souls get swallowed up by the system and end up being the lackeys and second class citizens of some gang or religious group, or they will float through life as a target for both sides of the divide.


To further complicate things, the inmates who do struggle for the betterment of our cause have a hard time staying the course because of the utter lack of support from the free world.  It takes men of extreme dedication and conviction to remain true.  Morale deteriorates when it seems like your own comrades have abandoned you.


The discouraging attitude from those "legitimate" and "established" brothers in the free world incites hatred, mistrust, and disunity from those within the wire.  Arrogance and elitism amongst our own ranks is a vicious plaque that must be checked.


Our movement needs every White body and mind we can get.  The better support our brothers within the wire receive, the better they are able to organize and prepare the unenlightened for their entry into our struggle upon their release.  Revolution happens on many levels. Every little bit helps.  Even if some of these people don't get active in the organized struggle upon release, they still carry our beliefs.  Through them the thoughts and ideals of our cause will reach their friends and families.  Their influence will spark pride and curiosity in others.  That is growth.


The all in or nothing approach is ideal for the militant arm of the movement.  But not everyone is prepared to answer the call to arms at the snap of the fingers.  Every last ounce of support is vital and must be nourished.  The initial phase of consciousness is rarely militant fanaticism anyhow. People must study and observe the ills of our social structure from a personal perspective before total dedication to our cause is even a possibility.  The moment in which one recognizes such revelations varies per individual.


Just as differing ideologies or platforms within the movement shouldn't compromise our over all unity, neither should a persons upbringing and personal circumstances exclude them from the community if their heart is in the right place.  We must add fuel to these fires no matter how small.


Racial awareness must be nurtured within the prison system.  Information, literature, lines of communications, and any kind of outreach or support will help.  Inmates are surprisingly resourceful, the tiniest bit of assistance may help further our cause immeasurably.  Those prisoners who work towards our goals should be rewarded with support. It is a sad sight to see a man's life left to waste simply because he made a few bad life decisions.  We can give meaning and purpose to these men's lives with minuscule amounts of effort.  Some of the most re-known names in conscious literature were in prison when they created their most influential works.  From David Lane to Adolf Hitler, how many more Fuhrers or Silent Brothers can we create?


To succeed, our cause needs the general support of the White population. One great step in spreading the word to that population is turning the prison system into a factory for White Racial Loyalists.

[The State of Creativity in the MDOC?]

The State of Creativity in the MDOC?

Well Comrades, that question's pretty easy to answer. It's pretty much non-existant. I came across one little viper's nest claiming TCM and saying some pretty nasty things about yours truly. My only regret in disposing of the little posers was not taking all of their literature. Me personally, I don't even have a copy of the Five Fundamental Beliefs. That's due to a number of different factors, including mail policy and the fact I'm not drowning in letters around here. So I couldn't even let people know how to help spread the Creed in here anyway.

I don't teach Creativity as a result. Seven years will leave anyone's memory full of holes. To the point where even trying to teach Creativity in here would be more hindrance than help. But I do teach racialism (pride - loyalty - honor) and use what I do have (Savitri Devi, Francis Parker Yockey and Oswald Mosely writings) to help push these guys in a more idealogical direction. The results have been favorable in my eyes at least. If for no other reason than Creativity is finally getting respect through me and my efforts at bridge building with my local White Racial Comrades.

That being said, I would like help in here. Don't send me literature with JEW - NIGGER - HATE every damn where: (A) I wont get it (they read all of my mail ... I'm a certified gang leader according to them) (B) It's just waving a big come * with me flag anyway.

I used to dread getting anything from the WCOTC back in the 90's. They were as subtle as tornadoes and showed as much concern about me going home as I show ants going back to their hills. As a result our groups' relationship became strained and after myself +"A" on parole, the Primary Group dissolved claiming Peoria (Illinois) didn't care about no-one but themselves. I got to tell you that I wasn't surprised or upset by the eventual reaction. I had to cut off HQ myself in the last 6 to 9 months of my sentence. "Sister LS" being the only person with enough forethought to doctor newsletters is the only one I stayed in contact with. The point is this, the only person who would want to be *ed with constantly because of pieces of paper - letters from the outside, is an idiot, and idiots don't stick around when they get out of prison. The truth is, most of them burn out or are just looking for chaos or some way to preen and pose before their fellow inmates. But none have ever stayed true.

The moral of this story is this, if you want to fight the good fight, I'll fight. But I'm no one's dummy, nor am I willing to deal with anyone who has no concern for my well being. If I go back to Max., I will have my visits cut from seven six-hour visits a month to two one-hour visits a month. Besides that, I'll probably housed in the U.P. by freaking Wisconsin or some damned where.

So comrades, "can you feel me yet?"

I'm a soldier, not a suicide bomber.

So there's my offer and my plea for help. So if anyone thinks they have the time and are prepared to make the effort, please write and we'll get to work.
