Mary, Hayes Turner, Brooks, Lowndes County Georgia and JUSTICE! THE TRUTH MUST BE TOLD SO LIES CAN BE EXPOSED!

Then and only then can the American People be truly FREE. There seem to be a continuation of an old Valdosta City Charter of 1860 that was just removed from Valdosta City Hall----in early 2004. It read: 100: Section XI, “the Mayor and Council, they shall pass all proper and necessary laws and ordinances for the control of slaves and free persons of color in said town and suppress and abate all nuisances arriving from hogs, dogs, horses, or other stock straying at large in said town, or from other causes.” DEATHS IN AND SURROUNDING THE LOWNDES COUNTY JAIL DURING OUR TIMES. 1.

Valdosta Daily Times Published a "RANT" 100% WRONG the question must BE asked WHY?

Dear Editors, concerned citizens, message boards, and beyond

Oops! The Valdosta Daily Times published another rant on July 13, 2006. “Well, I loved Ossie Davis, but you are absolutely right. He contributed nothing to Valdosta, and he nor his family certainly did not contribute the land that the park is on. (Barber Park). Seems that it was donated by, Yes, the Barber Family.

I didn’t know these people but without the Barber family there certainly would be no park for all you WHINERS to be using for FREE.”

This person and others who contributed to this publication shows the deeply entrenched state of ignorance of too many people in our community. Moreover, the lack of fair and balanced reporting of truth contributes to citizens being ill informed.

http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1114608915

The times know that the Barber family did not donate the land for Barber Park. But they continue to allow rants of venom to be spread throughout this metropolitan metropolis so continuously. When they know it is not true. This was done during the death of inmate Willie James Williams by repeatedly publishing that he had been drinking. See website: http://www.geocities.com/altpptla/pTribunal/index.htmlpTribunal/index.html

When we look back down the annals of history in our community we see a long list of alleged problems that needs immediate attention that will bring our community into the family of the 21^st Century along with other cities across the State of Georgia..

Below are a few of the problems that have existed for too long in our beloved community..

Can you believe this one?

Rant on inmates having Air Condition and Cable TV!

Dear Valdosta Daily Times Editor, message boards, concerned citizens and beyond

On 12 July 06, the Valdosta Daily Times published a rant concerning Lowndes County Jailed inmates. ”Why should inmates be entitled to A/C? There are some innocent people that have not committed a crime in Valdosta that cannot afford it. So they can do without A/C because we are tired of paying for it. They should also cut off the cable TV in the jail so the inmates can think about what they did wrong and try to correct.”

Again, this renter need to see the ruling of the Honorable Judge Hugh Lawson of U.S. District Courts Order and Consent decree Civil Action #89-54-VAL of the Middle District of Georgia Valdosta Division rendered in October 1997, (now expired).
http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html

Moreover, the person doing the rant must understand that too many jailed inmates must wait for over a year to have their day in court. This was one of the 105 discrepancies identified by U.S District Court Judge Hugh Lawson in his ruling in October 1997. See:

http://members.hostedscripts.com/board.cgi?user=philadelphia&a=read&read=1091120977

So its sad that people in Valdosta-Lowndes County Georgia are so ill informed, and that lack of knowledge is published for all to see. The complete names of deceased inmates have NEVER, EVER, EVER, been published in any newspaper or broadcast on any local television station at one time to inform the public.

http://gbrhynes.blogspot.com/2006/07/george-boston-rhynes-list-of-inmates.html

Therefore, the media must allow citizens to see the real world situation of a free press instead of pressed free to maintain the status quo of 1860.

Deaths continues in Jail: News Media Silent WHY?

Hello World! Is anybody listening?

It is strange that the following deaths could happen in the United States of America in the 21st Century in the land of the free and the home of the graves? While NO, American News Media Network will pick-up the story and investigate. http://gbrhynes.blogspot.com/2006/07/george-boston-rhynes-list-of-inmates.html

Nightly News rather report a dog stuck in a box, a cat trapped in a tree, a fish born with two tails, or who had a baby by whom? News anchors laugh, play games and talk about silly non-important issues as if though we are little puppets. While they ignore the real issues that the American People are truly concerned about.

Too many Americans claim to love our veterans, and support our troops. However, after sixteen known and verified deaths for whatever reason in the Lowndes County Jail. It places a white mark over our form of government with five (5) deaths within the last 10 months, and sixteen within 12 years for whatever reason.

Yet! No elected official have demanded an internal investigation of any kind into these deaths or a survey done among Lowndes County inmates on the conditions at the jail.

I am beginning to question why I spent twenty-one years in the Armed Forces during the Vietnam Era under the banner of fighting for FREEDOM, JUSTICE, EQUALITY, and the AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE.

I am strongly disappointed in 48 hours, 60 minutes, Dateline, MSNBC, Department of Justice, followers of JESUS CHRIST, MOSES, MOHAMMAD, newspapers, Associated Press, Elected Officials, and others who seem to do the ostrich head duck. .

It appears that FREEDOM is not FREE and that we do not get what we pay for. Moreover, we the people must ask why are our sons and daughters dying in Iraq (NOW), while America's mass media WHITEOUT machine bury their heads in the sand like the legend concerning the ostrich.

While jailed American Citizens, and Veterans are dying on continual bases in the homeland for whatever reason.

Yet! Americans claim to be Christians, patriots, and all the other high and holy names we find in the Volume of Sacred Law called BIBLE. This is a strange dilemma and disgrace to all major news media networks of our nation. But then again, who cares?

Since these inmates do not possess oil or other natural resources. They must be unimportant to those in control of the News Media, and our government. So they just squash that which the founding mothers and fathers gave their life to establish and maintain in our beloved nation. How sad?

Deaths, Rosa Parks, Whiteout Media,

If an inmate had a stroke the first weekend of June 2006 in the Lowndes County Jail, and the inmate could not move his arm on one side of his body. And if the inmate (perhaps) was not given proper medical treatment, and a concerned inmate called an outside person to help this inmate.

Then the outsider arrived and bonded the inmate out of jail. Then took him home and later to a local hospital where HE was a patient until a couple of days ago where he DIED.

Would you inform the citizens of Valdosta, and Lowndes County Georgia and beyond of the circumstances surrounding this death in a timely manner?

Moreover, would you consider the incident news worthy since the inmate allegedly had a stroke while in the jail?

In addition: If the following inmates died in our local jail would you have notified the public of these deaths? If so, on what dates were they reported to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County Georgia, and beyond---by your news media outlet?

a. James N. Starling, (WHITE), age 63, died 1 May 1996: CAUSE OF DEATH: Coronary atherosclerotic.

b. Clarence Fender, (WHITE), age 70, died 2 April 2006: CAUSE OF DEATH: Heart Attack. Would you find this news worthy to report to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County and beyond?

Lastly: If these two inmates died in our surrounding the jail and the public does not know about them. Then is it possible that other inmates could have died and not reported to the public?

I did a goggle search, a Valdosta Daily Times search, and could not find either of them on the Internet. How could this be since one happened as recent as 2 April 2006?

If my math is correct, and according to information given to Georgia State NAACP Conference President Edward DuBose by Sheriff Ashley Paulk following the press conference on July 5, 2006.

There have been about five deaths within ten months, and fifteen since 1994.

1-Willard McFarland, age 63, died 01 April 1994

2-Willie Lee Gaye, age 39, died 23 October 1995:

3-James N. Starling, age 63, died 1 May 1996:

4-Willie James Williams, age 49, died 2 Sept 1998:

5-Ronzie Sonny Graham, age 48, died 13 July 2000:

6-Rosemary King, Age 40, died 20 July 2001:

7-Richard William Oakley, age 27, died April 2002:

8-Sandra J. Wallace, age 39, died 31

9-Lisa Sanders, age 38, died 2003:

10-John Henry Dejonghe, age 49, died 21 June 2004:

11-Amaruy Quinones, age 34, died 2 Sept 2005:

12-Esavious Wright, age 29, died, 16 February 2006:

13-Bobby Stanford, age 55, died 23 March 2006:

14-Clarence Fender, age 70, died 2 April 2006:

15. George Hill Jr., age 21, died 23 June 2006:

Deaths Continues "NAACP, Unable To Resolve Problems:

The Georgia State NAACP President Edward DuBose held a press conference at the Lowndes County Jail on July 5, 2006. The press release was sent throughout the State of Georgia, and President DuBose did a couple of interviews and press conferences outside the Valdosta/Lowndes County area.

However, our only news paper The Valdosta Daily Times did not cover this MAJOR community event. Although, mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, and other relative from three of the fifteen deceased inmates were present. This included the mother, fathers, and aunt of the most resent death of inmate George Hill Jr., who died on 23 June 2006. The families can only imagine why these deaths seem to be of little concern to the people of Valdosta, Lowndes County, State of Georgia and beyond. How sad?

"DEATHS IN JAIL FOR WHATEVER REASONS"

1-Willard McFarland, (BLACK), age 63, 01 April 1994

15. George Hill Jr., age 21, (BLACK), died 23 June 2006: CAUSE OF DEATH: Heart Attack

On May 5, 2005 inmates said that more deaths have ocurred in the jail. Two other names were provided. However, it must be proven that inmates are correct and not just hear say.

Moreover, it may be a good idea to check with the local News Media and see if these deaths were ever reported to the public and within what time frame.

Deaths, NAACP State President, News Media Whiteout Machine In ACTION

TO: Editors, Concerned Citizens of this Republic and beyond

The Valdosta Daily Times editor published a rant on 6 July 06. �YOU CAN COMPLAIN ABOUT THE CONDITIONS AT THE JAIL ALL YOU WANT, BUT AS FAR AS I AM CONCERNED THOSE CRIMINALS HAVE IT TOO GOOD DOWN THERE AS IT IS NOW."

However, after thirteen know deaths in our surrounding the Lowndes County Jail. With three families of deceased inmates represented. Our only daily news paper failed to publish one word concerning the Georgia State Conference President (NAACP), Edward DuBose Press Conference at the Jail on 5 July 06.

Although, a press release was made throughout the state of Georgia and local television stations interviewed many persons in attendance. Our community have become accustomed to omissions of news worthy events such as this in our beloved community.

The person who wrote the rant probably never read U.S. District Court Judge Hugh Lawson Court Order and Consent Decree 89-54-VAL, (Now Expired), see below of the ill conditions in the jail back in 1989, or Leigh Touchton letter on the ill conditions at the jail, or seen a 90 minutes documentary video put together by professors from Valdosta State University of the ill conditions in the jail. Or reviewed justification why a new jail will not cure the many problems that have existed for nearly 20 years in the facility.

The Honorable Judge Hugh Lawson 105 noted discrepancies in his ruling in October 1997 from CA #89-54-VAL. http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html2006/04/judge-hugh-lawsonlowndes-county.html

Letter to the ACLU from former (NAACP) President Leigh Touchton. This is her story of the jail. (5 May 2005)

http://2true4u.blogspot.com/2006/05/naacp-former-president-leigh-touchton.html

Soon, editors, 48 hours, 60 minutes, Dateline, Prime Time, MSNBC, ABC, the Associated Press, ACLU, Local News Media outlets, organizations, and others will understand.

That God will always have people like John Brown, Rev. Martin L. King Jr., Moses, Rev. Joseph Lowrey, Jesus, King Kufu, and others being born through their mothers womb. Who will continue to cherish, respect, and protect the sacrifices of the founding fathers, and mothers of our great Republic for the GREAT FREEDOMS of the American People.

Yes! they will always want for their neighbors the same thing they want and have for themselves and their own children.

Moreover, they understand fully; that unearned pain, suffering, mistreatment, and disrespect is redemptive. And in the end, God will be GLORIFIED. Then all the remaining people of God, and the real patriots of our nation will say AMEN!

Renovation Alone Will Never Fix The Problems In the Jail
Posted by George Rhynes on 4/19/2004 22:16:37

The Valdosta Daily times (VDT) is our only daily newspaper in Lowndes County Georgia. And on 14 Aril 2004, the (VDT), article by Michelle Taylor reported “George Rhynes questioned why his letter had not been responded to and that no amount of renovation of the jail will help inmates.” My actual quote: “The Valdosta Daily Times reported a few days ago---that the Lowndes County Commissioners should work quickly to renovate the jail facility. However, no amount of renovation alone, in my opinion will fix discrepancies inmates are facing today.” THE FOLLOWING IS MY REASONS FOR MAKING THE ABOVE STATEMENT BEFORE THE Lowndes County Board of COMMISSIONERS. AS A CONCERNED CITIZEN I WILL----REPEAT THE SAME STATEMENT TO THE GOVERNOR OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, AND FELLOW AMERICANS-----BASED UPON THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS FROM REAL INMATES SIGNED LETTERS, AND NOTARIZED STATEMENTS SENT TO ME---ASKING FOR MY ASSISTANCE. "LOWNDES COUNTY JAIL PROBLEMS” Information Provided From: [Inmates in the Lowndes County Jail (19 July – Aug 2003), who sent correspondence reflecting the following conditions. These items were extracted directly from their comments. One should also see Capt. Yeager Report to the County Commissioners/Valdosta Daily Times on 29 Aug 2003] [Located in Valdosta, Georgia problems 1989 – 2003] Notice: This does no include the many letters received at the Lake Park Post, and other community leaders available for review! 1. Inmates are incarcerated for months without seeing their Court Appointed Attorney. Therefore, they are denied due process. 2. Deputy pulls out a pistol like object and waves all around before aiming squarely at inmate and telling inmate to “get against the wall.” All because inmates want to complete a complaint form on a deputy. 3. Inmates kneed in back by deputy and his forearm in the back of his neck and trying to push inmate (Name withheld but available), face into the wall – at which time inmate (Name Withheld, but available), rightfully defended himself against those unwarranted, unprovoked acts by deputy. 4. Inmates denied the right to file a legitimate complaint form in the State of Georgia when it is against a deputy. 5. Georgia Inmates have problems getting regular complaint forms notarized as proof that action was taken deputy said; “I ant’s signing a damn thing – get it signed yourself.” 6. Inmates must show copy of sixth amendment to educate deputy on inmate rights. (The deputy tells inmate to “get out of my face,” and pushes inmate, unprovoked. All as a result of attempting to fill out a Georgia complaint form. 7. Incidents are swept under the rug rather than being properly investigated. And no one will listen to inmates concerns within Jail facility. 8. Inmates must endure cruel and unusual punishment at the jail. There must be an outside agency to inspect this jail for things to change. 9. Many tours are done through the jail. But the bad areas are not shown. Only tailored tours are given. The kitchen is not always shown; therefore, no valid review of the jail is done. 10. Drinking water is unfit to drink and food is terrible. 11. Inmates are required to live in inhumane, unsanitary and abusive conditions. (Squalid Conditions). 12. Cell doors sticks when opened from control booth --- that creates problems! Inmates are locked in cell because of malfunction! 13. Deputies play with the fans and taunts and agitate inmates in cellblocks where there is no ventilation or air conditioning. 14. Inmates must endure leaky water pipes, in dormitory; pools of water are over the floor. This is a hazard because inmates are required to wear flip-flops. 15. When inmates try to keep a potential bad situation from getting worst. Deputies often make things worst by not paying attention to the needs of inmates—as it was on 23 July 2003! 16. Lowndes County Administrations lie and don’t acknowledge the handbook they give out to inmates. 17. Food is not nutritional, and inmates have questioned its cleanliness. 18. Two cells (cell 12 A & B) has no bed frame or nothing in it at all, besides out of order toilets and the sink does not work at all. 19. If an inmate does something, like cursing a Sgt. or Officer. He will be booked 9 out of 10. He is going to one of these cells depending what Sergeant. 20. Inmates are stripped naked left in this conditions for long periods of time. 21. Jail staff will not provide water as needed and inmates do not get showers or wash his/her hands face or do any hygiene customs. 22. Inmates are placed in cell (12B) with no mattress or nothing else for necessities. 23. Inmates are placed in handcuffs and shackled for 7 days and six nights straight. (Copy of incident on File in Jail says inmates).. 24. The jail has a restraint chair, inmates are not allowed to use the bathroom, and a chance to stretch as provided by polices in force by the State of Georgia. 25. Medical staff is very much on the side of the Sheriffs office, and does not administer the needs of inmates. 26. The Medical Staff lies, hides issues, and don’t document incidents that happen that could cause legal trouble for the administration. 27. Inmates families are lied to by Jail administration when they call concerning their love ones welfare. 28. This jail is very unconstitutional and several inmates say that it is ran in a racist manner. 29. The jail handbook is a fraud; in fact, it is so easy to prove. 30. Inmates needs to be interviewed, and the facility should be inspected everywhere there is a swinging doors. 31. (Name Withheld but available), was recently fired; (Gender withheld but available), could be a vital witness in every issue if (Gender withheld), is willing to do so --- to confirm these horrendous conditions. 32. Since the Jail started toting lasers to Las inmates when out of control. But that’s not how they are being used and I believe the situation will get worst. 33. Inmates are denied their rights to have access to the Law Library even without requests and that’s not happening. 34. Inmates are taxed when they buy stamps and on store items. (Inmates believe they are exempt from this practice.) 35. PERSONAL REQUEST: Inmates requested that I (George B. Rhynes) call on the community to sign a petition for the inspectors office and the U. S. Marshals Office to inspect and investigate the Jail Administrations. 36. Inmates (Name Withheld but available) was left in the restraints chain for 18 hours straight on one occasion in the past. 37. HANDBOOK VIOLATIONS: Each inmate may designate up to twelve immediate family members etc. [This is not being done we are limited to six] 38.Each inmate will participate in an organized and supervised program of daily cleaning within his housing and common areas. [This is not being done at all] 39.Inmates in the hold (cell 8) do not ever get to clean his call --- practically have to beg to receive cleaning materials. 40. Each inmate will be entitled to shower daily and required to shower three (3) times a week. [This is not happening. Inmates in (cell 8,) and the (MP) area. Also medical isolated inmates are forced to receive the minimum (3 showers a week). Even officers try to rush inmates out of showers. 41.Disciplinary process must be fair and systematic so that no person staff or inmate may plead ignorance of the rules or bias in the procedures. Hasty arbitrary decision and/or corporal punishment shall not be allowed. [This is not the case] 42. Inmates are convicted by one person, where inmates are suppose to be placed in lock-up then incident is supposed to be investigated and then a hearing. [This is not being done} 43. ABOVE ARE THE MOST IMPORTANT VIOLATIONS: But there are many more! 44. The Medical Staff and Administration: (Name withheld, but available), LPN/RN is the Head Nurse. She distributes medication in water out of the capsule before she’s in inmates presence. This violates inmates rights to confirm exactly what’s in the water and if it’s the correct medication. 45. (Name withheld but available), (LPN) ignores inmates verbal complaints. If it is about issues and Sheriff Admin Office say, “they can’t make medical to nothing.” 46. Some nurses will refuse inmates his/her medicine if the inmates and nurse has had an altercation and jail Administrators condone the action and will not stop it. 47. Constitutional Rights and Civil Rights are still being violated as of 2003. 48. Inmates have exhausted all their avenues, and they seek outside help from any body that will help them. They believe many people only procrastinate about providing relief about the ill Administration in the Lowndes County Jail. 49. Some inmates are willing to take some steps but not nearly, enough that would be significant to bring enough stress on the jail to change their ill actions, inhuman, treatment towards inmates. 50. The whole issue of the extreme bad conditions in the jail rests on the Sheriff because of his lack of concern and interest of the Jail’s operations. 51. The Sheriff is intentionally accepting fabrications from jail administrations to hide the facts that there are some serious violations inside his jail and with its operation in my opinion. II. SHERIFFS DEPARTMENT OWN ADMISSION: Capt. Yeager from the Sheriffs Department as reported in the Valdosta, Daily times! 52, We have massive plumbing problems. 53. Water runs non-stop in sections of the jail creating safety hazards. 54. Toothpaste tubes are stuffed into showerheads in attempt to stop leaks. 55. Water in cell refuse to discharge any water this is typical. 56. Staff has to pour acid down all of the drains to keep leeches and other pests from entering the jail especially shower areas. 57. Rusty shower frames, which Capt. Yeager said inmates are using to make shanks. 58. Heat swelter to over 100 degrees and no air. 59. Many windows no longer opens and oscillating fans only serve to push heat air around. 60. Cell locks are obsolete larger security pods can be opened with as little as a bed sheet or an identification card, giving the inmates undesired freedom of movement. 61. Control boards are also fading that controls operate most of the doors. The alternative is to give jail personnel individual keeps, which is a liability risk. 62. Jail held 570 people, but jail staff was forced to cook three meals in a 1956 kitchen designed to feed 80 prisoners. 63. Capt. Yeager said “A jail our size should have a kitchen four times this size.” 64. Jail intake area was designed to handle 120 people though they have 500 and there is no way to segregate male and female prisoners at the intake desk. 65. The Infirmary has a capacity of only 10 prisoners. It has no negative air flow areas to handle infectious disease cases---it has become a logistic nightmare. 64.Transporting prisoners to court appearances are so inadequate that inmates are stacked in visitation areas. 66. Sewer lines are also corroded and the City of Valdosta has put the Sheriffs Office on notice that they jail will soon need its own lift station and grinder to keep solid waste out of the city’s treatment system. 66. Doors jambs are stifling, creating unstable doors, which could potentially be forced opened. 67. The conditions at the jail also effect the 108 jail employees. 68. Employees should not be exposed to such bad conditions that now exist in the jail. CONCLUSION: For more read the legal section on page 6B of the Valdosta Daily Times dated 5 September 2003. And ask the real question-  Who is responsible for allowing this jail to get into this condition? Note: Most of the violations are the same ones identified in U. S. District Court For the Middle District of Georgia Valdosta Division. Civil Action No. 89-54-VAL, Consent Order And Decree, and Class Action dated June 6, 1989, and should have been corrected and complied with. HOWEVER THIS DECREE IS NO LONGER VALID AS I UNDERSTAND IT. a. The Question to this community should be—who ensured that this order was complied with? Was it the DA, County Commissioners, Sheriff, or the concerned citizens! Somebody should be held accountable! Information compiled from letters received from Inmates & Valdosta Daily times. No end to this story----only God can and will resolve this nightmare! I thank God for allowing me to help complete Luke 4:18, of his divine word. Peace!
