April 6, 2000 - To whom it may concern:
This is a rather hectic
time in my life since I am on Death Row for a crime that I did not commit.
I am endlessly searching for a Pro-Bono attorney that will handle my case,
but this is not an easy task since I am incarcerated. I have no close family
members to help me in this matter. In this facility the prison officials
have hindered us from using normal ink pens and pencils and this makes
it hard to communicate with people on the outside. Being in my situation
it is extremely hard to maintain. We were once allowed the priviledge of
having a radio, but the rules have changed and we must now send them home.
Many cover-ups are going on here. At times we are deprived of using the
Law Library and yard calls. They put on our records that we refused to
go outside or to the Law Library. In my situation this is definitely not
true. The chance for fresh air and exercise is a delicacy for me. I have
been forced to mail home many legal documents that are pertinent to my
case. However, this does not include all the wrongful things that are done
to us here, but I only named a few.
There have been erroneous
write-ups done and no one has stepped up to correct the wrong doings of
these prison officials. April 24th, 2000 is the deadline for me to
file my a 3.850, i.e. Motion for Relief. I feel that the C.C.R.C. State
appointed attorney is misrepresenting me, therefore I am in dire need of
new legal counsel. Recently I was served some bad food which caused
me to have a severe case of food poisoning. At present I am currently taking
several
antibiotics which were
prescribed by the prison physician.
With all this is going
on here at this facility the inmates on Death Row are going on a quiet,
peaceful hunger strike and we are not going to purchase any canteen items
until some of our issues are heard and proper actions are taken.
I would sincerely appreciate
any assistance given by contacting the
following agencies:
1. info@ccadp.org
2. members.tripod.com
3. CCADP
4. Outreach.htm
5. The media
6. Jamaican Embassy Consulate,

Hampshire
Ave., N.W. Washington, DC 20036 (202) 452-0660
7. Any Civil Rights Group
or Organization
8. Any Human Rights Group
Nationwide
I have enough evidence in my possession which if given to the proper officials would lead to a federal investigation on D.O.C./U.C.I. on the basis of Criminal Misconduct and multitudes of cover-ups.
I would appreciate any
assistance you or any organization could give
to us on Death Row. With
sincerest regards, I remain
Yours truly,
Lancelot Armstrong Death Row Inmate
