Affidavit on the Suppression of Religion in Tennessee Dept. of Corrections

Anyone who has had any contact with Harold Hempstead will know that he is a deeply religious man whose faith is at the centre of his life. His faith has moved him to stand up as a true witness, defying extreme danger and oppression to do so. The articles in this website document many of the causes he has given his attention to. For such a person to be denied the freedom to properly practice their religion is a very serious violation of their constitutional – and natural – rights. In the document below, Harold explains exactly how a doctrinal dispute has reached the stage where basic freedom of religion is effectively being denied to a large number of Protestant Christians incarcerated in the Tennessee Department of Corrections.

THE CONCH-HOUSE JOURNALISM OF THE LIMPET

Well dear friends, The Limpet newspaper is switching from monthly to occasional publication.  The Limpet ran as a monthly from September 2008 till August 2019, running to 204 issues.  The paper initially got started as a vehicle to publicize Cornwall Council’s disastrous plan to destroy a small beach and area of tidal rocks at the heart of Penzance.  The business consortium involved included H.R.H. Prince Charles, Duke of Cornwall and future King of England.  After rallying popular opposition to this plan, working in partnership with a small group of local activists, we won the case and defeated the opposition.  A small beach was saved and you can visit it to this day.  We saved the Holy Headland (Cornish: Pen Sans) and The Limpet was deeply happy to have played a part in that struggle.

After the police-slaughter of Ian Tomlinson in London I wrote extensively on police-violence and murder and covered a variety of cases in Britain and abroad.  The Limpet brought attention to the Lao Gai system of slave-labour camps in China, producing cheap goods for the western market and also the barbarism of organ-harvesting that continues in the Chinese state.

The Limpet’s RESIST CARDIAC ARREST campaign got started in 2010 and has robustly campaigned for a moratorium on tasers and weapons of conducted energy.  The RCA campaign succeeded in getting an admission from the British Government that tasers are lethal weapons.  This contradicts the aggressive strategy of Taser International, the manufacturing company, that spent millions in suing coroners who linked fatalities to tasers in USA. 

After making contact with Florida’s “Caged Crusader,” Harold Hempstead, The Limpet largely concentrated on amplifying Hempstead’s advocacy for justice for Darren Rainey, a mentally-disabled black Muslim man who was steamed to death in a specially adapted torture-shower in Dade prison, Florida, back in 2012.  Harold was awarded for bravery by the American Civil Liberties Union due to the risks he took to reveal the story of Darren Rainey.  He was himself an inmate at Dade, Florida’s most lethal prison and his life was in the hands of guards who themselves described the place as “Auschwitz.”  I’ve written more on this topic than any other, as the contemporary horrors and injustices of the US penal system represent a vast human rights crisis that gets barely any coverage in the big media.  Harold is serving 165 (one hundred and sixty five) years without parole for his part in some non-violent burglaries.  Overwhelming evidence exists to prove that his trial was conducted illegally and his case really is one of the most outrageous distortions of justice that you could ever hear of.  Please consult the numerous articles on Harold Hempstead and Darren Rainey and also check out his book, that talks about the system we set up whereby he would send me messages from prison to publish from Britain.  In my position as a ‘foreigner’ I was able to help him with communications without fear of intimidation and revenge by the corrupt authorities of the State of Florida.  Working with Harold has definitely been the high point of my journalistic efforts and I regard him as a man of immense integrity, vision and courage.

I deeply recommend his book, Department of Corruption, and also the website I edit for him: Harold Hempstead Caged Crusader.  They are both scrupulous and encyclopaedic archives of evidence proving a miscarriage of justice in the Rainey case and also throw light on Harold’s own background as a childhood Confidential Informant for Florida police departments and how he was set up and exploited from an early age. 

There will definitely be more publications on Harold Hempstead on this channel.

Recently The Limpet has given coverage to the planetary crisis we all now face in the form of Climate Chaos.  I am convinced that cooperation and open communication between all of us is absolutely vital for humanity to have a chance of literally saving the world before it’s too late.  Only democratically accountable and transparent activism can succeed in this, the ultimate theatre of action, and it’s natural for any movement to attract egotistic ‘leader-types’ but the movement must evolve beyond that level if it is to attract mass-participation.  The Limpet recommends that everyone, meaning everyone, starts germinating and raising trees for guerrilla-gardening.  Don’t leave it to others to plant the trees we need, start your own little forest on your window-sill. 

Limpets will still appear when the tides are right.  

Wishing you all peace and happiness.  A better world is in our hands if we dare to reach for it.

Concerning the torturer, the killer, the cop. Officer Roland Clarke of Miami Gardens Police Department examined.

Officer Roland Clarke

That Roland Clarke should get away with murder, torture, poisoning, battery and other grave abuses of the civil and human rights of his charges is deeply disturbing and casts a dark shadow over Florida’s already troubled justice-system.

That he should find employment as a policeman after leaving the prison-service is a mockery of justice and should be a matter of deep concern to the people of Miami Gardens, whose streets he is currently patrolling.

For the first six months of 2012, Roland Clarke was working as a prison-guard at Florida’s deadliest prison, Dade Correctional Institute.  Dade is one of the prisons that features a “mental hospital” within its walls, this is known as the Transitional Care Unit.  It was here that inmate-orderly Harold Hempstead witnessed mentally-disturbed inmates being starved to death by denial of meals, as well as numerous other violations of the inmates’ civil rights.  In January 2012 Clarke started using a specially-adapted shower to torture inmates into subjugated compliance.  These inmate-patients were very deeply disturbed people, many of whom had committed extremely serious offences including murder.  They were housed in solitary cells and subjected to harrowing conditions, some of them were “troublesome” for the guards, particularly the more noisy ones who would not stop shouting and disturbing the other inmates and staff.  After initially testing the shower-torture on a schizophrenic named Daniel Geiger and finding it induced compliance, Roland Clarke and other staff continued using the shower on various other prisoners.

On 23^rd June, 2012, the black, Muslim inmate Darren Rainey was placed in the torture-shower by Roland Clarke after a dispute which resulted in Darren Rainey’s Koran being destroyed by prison-guards.   After over one and a half hours in the shower Darren Rainey, # 060954, was found dead with much of his skin detached from his body.  The white, Christian prisoner, Harold Hempstead was in a cell just below the shower and witnessed the events.  He has written a book about all this, called “Department of Corruption.  Darren Rainey.  The Untold Story.”  and also has a website with a vast body of evidence on it concerning the Rainey-case and related matters. 

Five years later, when the sham-investigation and woefully corrupt judicial proceedings were completed and published (and Hempstead was assaulted by guards and transported over the border to a prison in Tennessee) Roland Clarke and his colleagues were found to have done “no wrongdoing.”

Clarke is currently going about his police-business in the streets of Miami Gardens while Hempstead sits in a cell in Tennessee, serving out his fabricated sentence of 165 years, writing constant witness statements, affidavits, letters and now books.   In this latest blog Harold challenges the Mayor of Miami Gardens to investigate just what kind of a policeman he has in Officer Clarke…..

"To: Oliver G. Gilbert III, Mayor,

18605 Northwest 27^th Avenue,

Miami Gardens,

Florida 33056.

I authored a book named “Department of Corruption.  Darren Rainey.  The Untold Story.”  This book can be located at crusaderbooks.com or lulupublishing.com.

In my book I explain the following facts concerning Miami Gardens Police Officer Roland Clarke:

1) I personally knew him between 2010 and May 2014 when he was a security officer at Dade Correctional Institution. 

2) For a six-month period I witnessed Roland Clarke use a shower that reached temperatures in excess of 160 degrees as a torturing device to punish mentally-disabled inmates.  Darren Rainey was the fifth mentally-disabled inmate that Roland Clarke placed in the hot water shower.  

3) I witnessed the June 23^rd, 2012, murder of Darren Rainey.

4) During the years that I knew Roland Clarke, I also witnessed him physically abuse inmates, poison their food with foreign substances such as medicines, laxatives, urine and feces;  and lie to his supervisors concerning his misconduct and the misconduct of other staff who worked with him.

In my book I also provide substantial facts showing that Roland Clarke murdered Darren Rainey.

Finally my book explains that covert recordings were obtained of Roland Clarke in 2013 and 2014 admitting to using the hot water shower as a torturing-device to punish mentally-disabled inmates and to murdering Darren Rainey.

The citizens of Miami Gardens have a right to expect that the law-enforcement officers, who are payed tax-payer’s money to protect them, not be murders with a history of violating the civil rights of people under his authority.

Polygraph test and voice-stress test are admissible in administrative proceedings.

As mayor of Miami Gardens you have the authority to direct that officer Roland Clarke receive a polygraph test or voice-stress test about murdering Darren Rainey, his history of using a shower that reached temperatures in excess of 160 degrees to punish mentally-disabled inmates, and his history of violating the civil-rights of individuals.  Will you please direct that officer Roland Clarke receive a polygraph test or voice-stress test about these matters?

Thank you for your time and please feel free to contact me if I can be of any assistance.

IMPORTANT FACTS ABOUT FEDERAL INCOME TAX FRAUD IN THE FLORIDA DEPARTMENT OF CORRECTIONS

Fact:  Florida prisoners file more fraudulent tax returns than any other prison system in our nation. 

Fact:  In 2009 Florida prisoners filed more fraudulent tax returns than all the prisoners in California,Texas and New York combined.

Fact:  Former Senator Bill Nelson played a big part in getting an agreement between the FBI, IRS and the Florida prison system that was focused on stopping federal tax fraud in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC).

Fact:  Daniel Goodheart, a former psychologist at Okeechobee Correctional Institution made more than $900,000 from filing fraudulent tax returns.

Fact:  The Florida Senate Finance Committee is involved with trying to stop tax fraud in the FDC.

Fact:  FDC Inspector General's Office issues several reports a year documenting their findings on tax and credit card fraud in the Florida prison system.

Fact:  Tax fraud ringleaders in FDC file false tax returns in the names of witnesses that appear in the law-work of Florida inmates.  In other words, if you're a witness to any crime committed by an inmate in the Florida prison system then you could have had or might have a fraudulent tax return filed in your name. 

Federal income tax fraud has been going on in FDC for more than 30 years and federal and state officials can't stop it.  If you'd like to read more about this subject then you will want to read my book entitled "DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story." You can locate this book at Crusader Books or Lulu Publishing.  Please share this blog with your friends. Harold Hempstead

WILL THE ST PETERSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT ADMIT THAT THEY ARE GUILTY OF CHILD-ABUSE AND ENDANGERMENT BY USING JUVENILES AS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS?

I authored a book entitled "USED AND ABUSED BY THE ST PETERSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT - My Life As A Juvenile Confidential Informant" which can be located at Crusader Books.  In this book and in blogs and documents that are on this blog, I've written extensively on the St Petersburg Police Department abusing children and placing their lives in danger by using them as confidential informants. 

I was recently told that there's a possibility that the St Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) might try to say that they no longer use children as confidential informants (CIs).  If the Police Department actually alleges this, then they'd be admitting that they are guilty of abusing children and placing their lives in danger by using them as CIs.

I know beyond all doubt that they are still using children as informants, but why would they deny this, unless they know that it's legally wrong to use the kids as such and that it's child-abuse. 

I respectfully contend that if the SPPD denies that they are using kids as informants then they are trying to mislead the public because they know they are abusing and endangering the kids by using them as CIs.

Please share this blog with your friends.

Harold Hempstead

WILL THE ST PETERSBURG POLICE DEPARTMENT TRY TO DENY THAT THEY ARE CURRENTLY USING CHILDREN AS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMANTS?

The St Petersburg Police Department will eventually be given an option to admit or deny that they are presently using children as confidential informants (CIs).  I think it would be outrageous and unreasonable if they tried to deny that they are presently using children as CIs.  Additionally - it would be very easy to prove that they are still using children.

(1)  St Petersburg PD records show that they are still using children as informants. 

(2)  Pinellas County, Florida State Attorney's records for their Juvenile Division and the Juvenile Division of the Pinellas County,Florida Public Defender's Office have records that prove the SPPD is presently using children as CIs.  

(3)  The children who are presently being used as CIs, and their families, can prove this to be so.

(4)  Criminal defense attorneys who represent children arrested by SPPD know that SPPD is using children as CIs.

WILL YOU PLEASE ASK MIAMI GARDENS FLORIDA MAYOR RODNEY HARRIS TO DIRECT THAT ROLAND CLARKE BE GIVEN A POLYGRAPH OR VOICE STRESS TEST?

Mayor Rodney Harris

If you google my name you'll see that I'm the inmate who exposed the brutal torture and murder of Darren Rainey to the media and law enforcement.  I wrote a book entitled DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story -   My book can be located at Crusader Books or Lulu Publishing.  In my book I provided hundreds of pages of facts to support that Roland Clarke was using a rigged shower that reached temperatures in excess of 160 degrees Fahrenheit to punish mentally disabled inmates; that he placed Darren Rainey in said shower as punishment - and that Rainey died in said shower.  Roland Clarke is currently employed by the Miami Gardens Police Department.  In other words, a killer who is responsible for torturing mentally disabled inmates is employed by the Miami Gardens Police Department.  I believe that Mayor Rodney Harris should direct that the Miami Gardens Police Department (MGPD) give Roland Clarke a polygraph or voice stress test about the Darren Rainey case and the torturing of mentally disabled inmates in the Dade Correctional Institution Transitional Care Unit.  Polygraph tests and voice stress tests are admissible in administrative proceedings. Will you please email and ask everybody you know to email Miami Gardens, Florida Mayor Rodney Harris and ask him to direct that the MGPD give Roland Clarke a polygraph or voice stress test about the murder of Darren Rainey and the torturing of mentally disabled inmates in the Dade CI TCU.

People who know that the St Petersburg Florida Police Department is using children as confidential informants

(1)  The children who are presently being used as confidential informants and their families know about it.

(2)  Attorneys in the Tampa Bay area of Florida who represent children on criminal cases know that the St Petersburg Police Department (SPPD) is using children as confidential informants (CI-s).

(3)  The Assistant State Attorneys who prosecute kids in Pinellas County Florida and the Assistant Public Defenders who represent kids on criminal cases there know that the SPPD uses children as confidential informants.

Lies By Dade County - Florida State Attorney Katherine Rundle Concerning The Time Stamps On The Video Footage In The Darren Rainey Case

Falsification of Evidence - Perjury - Submitting False Evidence - Attempting to Mislead a Jury - etc etc - Katherine Fernandez Rundle - Miami-Dade County State Attorney is guilty of them all and yet she still holds office -

In this latest blog from Harold Hempstead he gives irrefutable proof that Rundle and Co submitted irrelevant video in place of the valid footage - thus PERVERTING THE COURSE OF JUSTICE in a homicide -

Thus she attempts to cover-up the murder of Darren Rainey in a chamber of super-heated steam at over 160 degrees Fahrenheit which left him dead with his skin peeling off -

The crude attempts of State Attorney Rundle to cover-up one of the foulest State-crimes of the 21st Century will not stand the scrutiny of further investigation at a higher level -

Since the State of Florida has based its case on false evidence - it is now time to re-open the case of Darren Rainey and bring justice and resolution -

Jeremy Schanche 7th February 2019

"The State Attorney in her Memo closing the Rainey case without prosecuting any of the suspects involved with his murder, said the footage from the mounted security cameras on the night Rainey died shows the times I provided concerning when specific things happened were inaccurate.  The State Attorney didn’t disclose that the time stamps on the recordings that her office released were not from the mounted security cameras that recorded the events that happened with Rainey on the night he died.  Rainey was housed in the Westside Transitional Care Unit, the cell he lived in was located in Wing-1 and he died in Wing J-3.  The time stamp location on both of the videos the State Attorney released show an “E”.  Additionally, the time stamp location on the three minute video states “J-4” and the time stamp location on the 117 minute video states “J-5”.  This shows us that the time stamps on both videos came from the mounted security cameras on the Eastside in Wings J-4 and J-5.  If the time stamps on the video footage was from wings J-1 and J-3 which were the wings where the cameras were that recorded what happened to Rainey, then the time stamps would’ve said “J-1″ and J-3”.

It’s outrageous that the State Attorney tried to manipulate people into believing the time stamps on the videos her office released were the time stamps from the mounted security cameras that monitored everything that happened to Rainey on the he night he died, when the time stamps on the videos prove that they weren-t.

I authored a book called “Department of Corruption – Darren Rainey – The Untold Story.”  This book can be located at Crusader Books or Lulu Publishing.  In my book I thoroughly explain numerous false statements the State Attorney made in her close-out memo on the Darren Rainey case –  I also thoroughly explain all types of matters concerning the Rainey case and all types of matters concerning the Florida Department of Corrections –  I hope that you read my book and join us in trying to bring reform to the Florida prison system.  Please share this blog with your friends."

Another Notice To The Citizens And Visitors To St Petesburg Florida

Harold Hempstead has published a book entitled  “DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION – Darren Rainey – The Untold Story.”  His book can be located at crusaderbooks.com –  Question 130 of  Hempstead’s book states:

“130 Question:  When was the first time you spoke out against a state official who did wrong?

Answer:  The first time was with Roosevelt Copeland when I was a teenager.  He was a guard at Pinellas County, Florida Juvenile Detention Center.    As a result of me speaking out against his improper conduct he lost his job.   The second time I spoke out was against St Petersburg Police Officer Mike Brown.   He was committing sexual misconduct with kids at the Police Athletic League.  The police set me up with two frivolous felony charges for it .  The State Attorney knew I was set-up, so they dismissed the charges.”

St Petersburg Mayor Challenged On Juvenile Confidential Informants Policy

When Harold Hempstead was 13 he was pressured by the St Petersburg Police Department in Florida to become a Confidential Informant and get involved in highly dangerous clandestine operations  - In an article on his own blog you will find his sworn affidavit detailing his illegal juvenile employment by various law-enforcement agencies - 

The following is a copy of an email Harold asked me to send to the Mayor of St Petersburg challenging him to open-up and take a stand on the controversial topic of using minors to do police-work -
Harold Hempstead is currently serving 165 years without parole in a prison in Mountain City - Tennessee - He has just published his first book on the killing of Darren Rainey by guards with super-heated steam in Dade Correctional Institution in Florida and is following this up with several more volumes which are due for imminent publication -  His refusal to be silent in the face of monstrous cruelty and injustice earned him the nick-name "The Caged Crusader" -
