Crackdown Inside San Quentin (rounding up Tookie's friends)

On December 9, 2005, four days before Tookie Williams' execution, ten of his fellow inmates were dislodged from their cells by guards in full riot gear and put in solitary confinement in the San Quentin Adjustment Center, where they remain as of this writing (January 15).

According to two of these men, Steve Champion and Anthony Ross, all are under investigation on charges that they conspired to incite a riot and harm guards if Tookie were executed.

Family and friends of Steve and Anthony are deeply concerned about their status and welfare while being investigated for participating in a conspiracy that each explicitly disavows and that would, at this time in their lives, be entirely out of character.

what does the guy running San Quentin have to say? who in the W.H. told him to do this?

[niyad]

1. was it the WH or ahhhhnauld??

[donsu]

2. arnold does what the bushmilhousegang tells him to do

the blackmail they must have on Arnold would fill a truck

3. Smart and responsible tactic.

It was a prudent safety precaution which proved to be a good choice since there was no riot.

It's standard procedure actually. When an inmate looses his bid for a Parole they call it a "Parole Flop" and place the inmate in segregation for a week or two.

4. Arnold used to be a nazi

why would he operate any way else!
