Re: Questions as to Why Government is Condoning Outrageous Acts Against Prisoners.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is again re-iterating it’s call to the Citizenry to distance themselves from the PNM and turn support away on the ground from the PNM as campaigning is ongoing for Local Government elections. This; on the premise that this present administration continues to turn a blind eye and condone the actions of Commissioner of Prisons; Gerald Wilson, under his "NEW BOSS" Gary Griffith, in carrying out outrageous acts against prisoners and sitting on it as if nothing has ever happened.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on the commissioner to answer why Arabic books are not accepted in the prison and why the two (2) Muslim inmates Roget Boucher and Sheldon Reid are continuing to be housed at the dungeon, that is Building 13 or should it be referred to as the "Muslim Dungeon"? Because this building is the preferred choice by the state and by extension the commissioner and his associates when they feel to maliciously punish Muslims.  Michael Finley, Olatunji Denbow, Darryl Bissoon, Brent Johnson and Stephon Whitehall are the other inmates who are being maliciously punished. All are Muslims with the exception of Darryl Bissoon and Stephon Whitehall.

Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is questioning whether or not fair play was involved in the selection process or was it a clear case of nepotism on the part of the prison commissioner in hiring the head the High-risk management unit. A question to the commissioner and to all investigative journalists in this country; who is this person who heads this unit? What is his track record? Where any charges brought against him?

Further, Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on the National Security Minister and by extension the Prime Minister to investigate whether the Prison commissioner has become "politically exposed" based on the relationship he shares with a certain ex high ranking international official. If this is, in fact, true, it puts him at risk for potential involvement in bribery and corruption by virtue of his position and the influence that he holds.

In light of all this Waajihatul Islaamiyyah (The Islamic Front) is calling on all investigative journalists in this country to dig deeper into the real operations of prison Commissioner Gerald Wilson and his associates. Whether or not they are creating monsters and boogiemen, further contributing to violent crimes or putting a dent into our crime splurge.
