We have many political prisoners, such as Gary Yarbrough, Matt Hale, Richard Scutari, and others. They have been abused by the Bureau of Prisons. They have been denied medical care, beaten, denied food, and many other things that the BOP is suppose to provide, while they are in their custody. For, example, Gary Yarbrough has been denied a medical diet for his Rheumatoid Arthritis, which his doctor prescribed. Matt Hale has been denied food. Many of our political prisoners are also denied legal process. For instance, Gary Yarbrough was denied a legal visit with his attorney before his parole hearing in September, 2016.

The stories coming to light regarding the treatment of these individuals remain deeply concerning. I am currently reaching out to oversight organizations to ensure these reports of denied medical care and legal access are properly reviewed.

Reaching this milestone confirms that the mistreatment of these individuals is no longer a matter of silent concern. It is a quiet but firm signal that the public is paying attention to how these prisoners are treated inside the system.

Please release our political prisoners they are being held way past the time they should be due to thought crimes. Obama released real terrorists from Guantanamo, yet pro European political prisoners are held unjustly too long.

Free these men. The us prison system has done a lot of things. But one thing I could never recall of them, is them admitting they wrongfully put a person behind bars. Let these men be with their families loved ones and children

Gary Yarbrough has rotted away in a federal prison cell for over 32 years of his life. In these years he has faced many losses of family members. And although Gary Yarbrough has never murdered anyone in his entire life . Has spent more time in prison than most murderers. This poor older gentleman has been a model prisoner in this corrupted federal prison system , for many more years than he ever deserved. He has a wife Grandchildren who love him and await his release. All they or he desires is to spend his few remaining years upon this earth togeather. Please grant Gary Yarbrough this his much deserved freedom. Thank you and may God guide you in this .

Anyone who is a prisoner because of their speech is a political prisoner.
