Michael John Nunn, former World Middleweight Champion boxer, is currently inmate #11772030 of the Hazelton Federal Corrections Institution in Bruceton Mills, WV before which he was incarcerated at the Bastrop, TX facility. It was there that Mr. Nunn was routinely berated with racial slurs and had threats made to his life by prison staff. Having sustained a serious wrist injury this past May when his handcuffed arm was twisted by a corrections officer prior to his unannounced, middle of the night transfer from Bastrop to Hazelton, Michael has been kept for more than four months from being seen by prison physicians as is not only medically necessary, but a lawful requirement.
Furthermore, Hazelton’s warden is denying any prior knowledge of Michael’s injury. Should prison administration continue to ignore such requests and remain silent on the matter, his legal counsel is prepared to pursue action which will enable Nunn to obtain treatment at an outside health care facility.
His incarceration for a non-violent drug offense began in 2004 and has included stays in seven different maximum-security facilities with frequent denial of phone, email, and commissary access despite Michael's record of exhibiting model behavior. Your signature to this petition will be invaluable to forcing the hand of the Federal Corrections system in holding themselves accountable for their obligation to provide their inmates with adequate medical care.
Please help this man who has repaid his debt to society several times over receive the civil liberties and human decency to which he is entitled. On behalf of Michael “Second To” Nunn and Eric Murphy, thank you very much for your support.

Reaching five hundred signers represents a significant validation of our concerns regarding the treatment of Michael Nunn. It is vital that we maintain this momentum to ensure the administration understands the scope of public interest in this case. Please consider sending the link to those who may be unaware of the medical neglect occurring within these facilities.

The silence from the administration at Hazelton remains a significant hurdle in our efforts to secure proper medical attention for Michael. We are currently finalizing documentation to provide his legal counsel with the leverage needed to secure an outside evaluation. This process is slower than we hoped but your attention to his situation ensures that this case does not vanish into the shadows of the prison system.

The momentum building behind this request for Michael reflects a shared commitment to basic human rights. As we near one hundred signatures, I ask that you reach out to those in your circle to ensure our momentum remains steady. This collective focus is essential to securing the medical attention he has been denied for far too long.

would like him to receive proper treatment for his injury like any other human being on this darn planet.Michael is paying for his crime by serving time it is cruel to treat Michael like an animal and not take care of his medical needs as the state should do for him or any other prisoner.
I petition for Michael Nunn to receive medical treatment not because he was a former champion but more-so, he's a human being. It is an evil thing to deny treatment to a person when its due.
Been away for a hell of long time for a non violent offense. If we can't get him released right now then medical treatment should be given. This is not what we must expect but what we must demand!!
In spite of whatever crimes he has committed he is a CITIZEN and is entitled to fair treatment. If the state incarcerated him then they are accountable for his wellbeing and health!!
They should do the right thing, see people from jail and prison in ER rooms all the time handcuffed to beds while the guards get paid to sit on their cell phones talk and babysit....They can fix this mans wrist should have been a NON ISSUE
Michael was my fav fighter of his era. This was a disgrace. This man shoulda never been locked away for such a crime. 24yrs? Shame on the US
Let the poor guy go it’s been way too long for him to be still in prison. It the only life he has you already took more than years from this man.
