On January 23, 2024 an incarcerated individual by the name of Markevia Johnson . Was assaulted by 5 supervisors. 1 being the warden over the prison Katrina brown . Cut Ms. Johnson clothes off because she didn’t comply to a strip search (Meaning). strip search is a practice of searching a person for weapons or other contraband suspected of being hidden on their body or inside their clothing, and not found by performing a frisk search, but by requiring the person to remove some or all Clothing . While a male supervisor Jonathan Birmingham was present. Of course Ms. Johnson Declined because that’s not policy nor procedure. Due to Ms. Johnson refusing Jonathan Birmingham took it upon himself to use force while Ms. Johnson was in RESTRAINTS . Warden Katrina Brown cut her clothes of like she was a dog. Lieutenant Williams , Parler & Sergeant Hall beat & jumped on her . Bruised her head , eye , jaw & Wrist . Meanwhile no medical treatment has been saught. It’s been 3 days Ms. Johnson could have internal bleeding & so much more. This petition is for medical treatment because god Will handle the rest .
I spent all morning pacing the floor trying to figure out how to get a phone call through because the silence from the facility is just deafening and honestly it makes my skin crawl. It feels like they think if they ignore us long enough we will just go away but my mind is constantly on the bruises and whether anyone has even looked at her today. I am reaching out to local advocates who have dealt with this warden before because we need eyes on this situation right now.

I really never thought this would gain this much steam but look at us now and it just feels like people are finally starting to listen to what happened to Markevia. Seeing all these people show up for her is honestly blowing my mind because the silence has been so heavy for so long. Now that we have this momentum we have to keep pushing until someone actually walks into that prison and gets her the care she deserves.

I think this has gotten out of control!!!! They should not be able to out their hands on any inmate!!!! They have no right putting their hands on an inmate especially when said inmate is not a threat!!! But it happens all too much and there's always a blind eye to it. It’s just sad

This is ridiculous how this young lady was treated! Unnecessary force was used while this young lady was in handcuffs! Their actions were very inhumane and they all should be fired!
