Crusader Books is happy to present its first publication: DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story by Harold Hempstead
The author gained his epithet of The Caged Crusader through his dangerous and lengthy struggle to seek justice for Darren Rainey - a Muslim man who-s murder at the hands of Florida prison guards he witnessed - In the ultra-violent climate of the Florida Department of Corrections Harold literally risked his life to reveal what he knew about this horrific torture-murder - Driven by his
conscience - Harold felt compelled to pursue the course of justice and spent almost two years writing to various official departments before finally getting his story published in the
Miami Herald newspaper -
This initiated a belated police investigation and also a major overhaul of the FDC - Sadly the killing of Darren Rainey was covered up by Florida-s corrupt officials such as State Attorney Katherine Fernandez Rundle and Dr Emma Lew - No-one has been charged over the torture and killing of Rainey - nor the torture of various other convicts in a specially rigged torture-shower at Dade C I - Florida -
Harold was illegally used as a police spy from the age of 13 and in his early twenties was incarcerated for 165 years under questionable circumstances - In prison he underwent a profound religious conversion and this has guided his courageous activism under the most harrowing circumstances - The story he has to tell is testimony to all the ills of America-s tragic policy of mass-incarceration - and of how an absolute belief in the power of good can animate a man to struggle so hard against such cruel and unjust captors and the injustices they perpetuate -
This is truly a story of the triumph of the human heart and its refusal to keep silent in the face of evil -
