šŸ”„PRIORITYALERTšŸ”„ Criminality By Two Virginia Sussex 1 State Prison Guards By Emmit G Roscoe Jr.




"Incident of September 29th, 201." On 9/29/18 @ approximately 7:30 am C/O B began feeding breakfast meals on 3 delta solitary confinement unit of Sussex One State Prison. While C/O B conducted feeding I overheard other prisoners complaining about being deprived of recreation and shower. Correctional officer then approached 3 delta 04 which house myself, as I began to verbally express the disservice of being continuously deprived of recreation and shower. I ceased my complaining by requesting C/O B to provide me with an informal complaint, to grievance this ongoing deprived of recreation and showers while housed in solitary confinement at Sussex 1 State Prison. C/O B then informed me that he (C/O B) was going to steal (deprive) Roscoe his breakfast meal for being allegedly verbally disruptive. C/O B also informed me that if I kept "complaining" I would be deprived of meals to come and C/O B said he would justify his action by saying I was being verbally disruptive. I respectfully responded telling C/O B it was against the law to use my food as punishment. That's when C/O B told me if I "uttered" one more word that he would show me that he could [do] what he wants and get by with it. C/O B then went on to say that Cheif Warden Isreal Hamilton told him and his co-workers at a managers meeting approximately a week prior "that anyone" whom is being "verbally disruptive" that they (correctional staff) could refuse prisoners meals as punishment.

Sometime latter [later] that "a.m." (Department of Correction) Lt C entered 3 delta pod, I presented my complaint of being deprived my meal by C/O B and Lt C only response to this form of prohibited Corporal Punishment was "you've already lost one meal and you still complaining" I ceased my complaining and asked for an informal complaint. Lt C then said to me if I didn't let it go that he would "personally make it his "duty" to make me wish that I had left it alone. Latter at approximately 1:45 pm that same day I was moved from my assigned cell 3 delta 04 and put in the show [shower] so my toilet could be fixed. I stayed in the shower from 1:45 pm to about 4:30 approximately. Lt C and C/O Gb came to put me back in my assigned solitary confinement cell 3 delta 04 being a solitary confinement prisoner I am only allowed to be moved with wrist cuffs and leg iron once properly administered. The shower has available cutout spaces so these restraints may be administered be for the shower door is open. The wrist cuffs were put on me with the shower door locked however In violation of safety concerns Lt C ordered C/O Gb to open the shower door which C/O Gb followed that order, without applying the leg irons first. The Lt then told me to get on my knees in the wet unclean shower when I said no explaining to Lt C. that if he (Lt C) followed policy and apply the leg irons with the shower door secured. That's hen Lt C began jacking my arms up behind my head as my hands were cuffed from behind while use joint manipulation then I was slamed [slammed] and my head slamed [slammed] into the shower wall then to the floor I then temporarily lost consciousness when I regained consciousness multiple prisoners began [to] call my name out of concern of my well being watching me be assaulted maliciously and sadistically. My legs were then apprehended with leg irons as I lay defenseless on the unsanitary shower floor I was then picked up by my arms by Lt. C and C/O Gb and dragged to the cell I was not offered any sort of medical attention I was I was left laying on the floor for about and [an] hour Pluss with my hands cuffed behind me until shift changed. I requested medical attention and was taken to medical. I suffered a knot on my forehead which was dressed and cleaned. I filed multiple informal complaints. One for use of unnecessary use of force, the other informal complaint was about deprivation of my meal.

On 11/2/18 after not receiving an answer to either complaint I began to explain to Captain R that I never received a response for both complaints. Captain R responded "if you don't shut the hell up Im going to buck on your trays for being disruptive" days latter C/O B deprived me of my lunch tray which camera footage will show during feeding time he did not access the tray slot box to allow me to except my tray. When I began to complain about the deprivation of this meal C/O B state "R. said dont feed you" as a matter of fact the deprivation of meals carried on to November 5th 2018 when I was deprived my breakfast, lunch, and dinner and I asked C/O G why I was not being fed his exact words were "Im following orders or my family wont eat" On Wednesday 11/7/18 after my family made a local police report and called the prison complaining that I was beat and was deprived of my meals in retaliation of that I was then placed on hunger strike observation,

Incident of November 8th-9th 2018
On November 8th, 2018 I was awakened out my sleep at approximately 7:15 am by Sgt. M. whom knocked on my cell window with a camera and ambulatory restraints. When I got out the bed I asked Sgt Moyer what was the restraints for he informed me that I was being placed on ambulatory restraints for allegedly flooding my assigned cell which was impossible because I was on alleged hunger strike observation which water was terminated when I informed Sgt. M of this then stated, "Man Im following orders." I then asked to speak with the Watch Commander and was denied that request. Having no one to appeal to I stated my claims on the hand held camera the restraints were put on me I was placed in the shower and Sgt. P took the mattress out my assigned cell I was then put back in the cell without being checked by medical and mental health I stayed in the maliciously and sadistically administered restraints for 30 hours approximately. On 11/9/18 at about 10:30 am despite being ordered to remove the restraints, Sgt P refused to remove the restraints forced me back in the cell where I stayed for an additional 3hrs approximately.
