More Questions For St Petersburg Mayor Rick Kriseman On SPPD Exploitation Of Youth

From a Tennessee prison - Harold Hempstead aka "The Caged Crusader" who gained his name through ceaseless and highly dangerous Civil Rights activism in the case of Darren Rainey - has published some more questions for Rick Kriseman - Mayor of St Petersburg - Florida - 
St Petersburg Police Department are being called to account over their use of under-aged youngsters in the dangerous world of Confidential Informants - This practice is highly illegal as CI-s are placed in situations of lethal danger when infiltrating criminal activity involving narcotics - firearms - extreme violence and all manner of vice and corruption - The exact number of juvenile CI-s who have died "on duty" - or rather when set-up and coerced into it by the police - is unclear - Harold Hempstead will be publishing more on this topic imminently and alluding to some of the cases -  It-s a subject he knows well as he was recruited by SPPD at the age of 13 to work on the most dangerous of operations - When he attempted to report police-sexual-misconduct his cover was pulled during an operation involving firearms -
Harold is currently serving 165 years on dubious "stolen goods" charges - The fact that he was working for police in "stings" was ruled inadmissible at his trial - He continues to advocate strongly for the civil rights of all prisoners regardless of who they are - Please follow his blog and share it with anyone you know who is interested in justice -  

Attn:  Rick Kriseman - Mayor of St Petersburg - Florida -  5:2:2019

Dear Mayor Kriseman, 

Harold Hempstead has published a book entitled "Department of Corruption - Darren Rainey - The Untold Story" - 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 the 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."

Hempstead's book can be located at crusaderbooks.com - 

Mayor Kriseman will you please answer the following questions:

(1)  What type of screening process does the St Petersburg Police Department have to prevent the agency from hiring sexual predators?

(2)  Will you please request that a federal investigation be conducted into the matters mentioned in Hempstead's book the concern former St Petersburg Police Officer Mike Brown?

(3)  What type of policies exist to protect children who attend the St Petersburg Police Athletic League from being sexually abused?

(4)  What are the names of all the St Petersburg Police Department employees who've been accused of sexual misconduct since 1985?

Please provide your response to this email to the parties listed in the CC section below.

Any attempts to communicate with Hempstead should be directed to his attorney John Trevena. This email and any response or failure to respond could be published in future books and used in court proceedings.

Dear Julie Jones and Florida officials -

I am writing to you as I am extremely worried about the medical condition of Florida inmate Anthony Bellido-Carbonell (# D31307) -  A tumor was found in this man-s leg one year ago -  The leg has recently turned black and is losing sensation - these are typical gangrene symptoms -  I implore you to ensure that he receives immediate and appropriate medical care for this disease which is threatening his limb and quite possibly his life -

I do not know what crime this man committed but he is entitled to medical care as a fundamental legal right and I ask you sincerely to expedite this urgently before his condition worsens -

With many thanks - 

Yours sincerely -

A lot of activism involves letter-writing and in some circumstances it is still an effective method of pushing for change -  It has the advantage of possibly prompting a response and also letters can be published which makes them powerful evidence in some cases (and helps get a response - especially if you can get them into the newspapers!) -  Even if emailing and writing to politicians and decision-makers had little effect on them I think it would still be worth doing - for documentary purposes if nothing else - So that activists can show that they have exhausted all reasonable routes of redress before considering direct-action -  

The problem is that when MPs and Chief Constables and various other people in positions of influence simply ignore written approaches to discuss policy they are seriously undermining democracy and forcing people to consider other ways to progress their causes -  This particularly applies to MPs who-s job is to represent the people and to the police who must be accountable to those they serve and protect -  
This brings us back full-circle to the topic of medical neglect in the Florida Department of Corrections -  When exonerated British citizen Krishna Maharaj was infected with flesh-eating bacterial disease in the Florida prison system that has wrongly held him for 30 years I made repeated attempts to ask my representative in the democracy - my MP - to ask the British Foreign Secretary (also a Conservative Party member) to speak to the Florida government in Tallahassee and get appropriate medical aid for Mr Maharaj my MP - Derek Thomas - ignored me -  He ignored my phone messages - my emails - letters -  everything!  He was quite happy to let Krishna Maharaj literally rot away in a foreign jail - knowing that he might lose his leg - or quite likely die - without immediate treatment -  
As far as I-m concerned - officials who neglect their duty to respond to the public are in breach of the social contract - 
When enough people consider the social contract to be broken it has to be re-written - 

Harold Hempstead Caged Crusader To Publish Book On Florida Prisons And The Darren Rainey Murder

Press Release:

From Florida's most-known prisoner civil rights activist - Harold Hempstead (A.K.A "The Caged Crusader") 

Harold Hempstead has been written about in the Miami Herald newspaper, Tampa Bay Times, New Yorker magazine, Huffington Post and dozens of other newspapers and magazines.  He has also appeared on WTVT Fox 13 Tampa, Florida news and CBS4 Miami, Florida news.

Book title:

DEPARTMENT OF CORRUPTION

DARREN RAINEY - THE UNTOLD STORY

By Harold Hempstead

A historically factual book about the Darren Rainey murder, the systematic culture of corruption in the Florida Department of Corrections and the murdering, torturing and abuse of Florida prisoners.

A compelling expose of the hidden world of brutality and corruption in the Florida Department of Corrections. 

Harold Hempstead was incarcerated in the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) for 17 years.  On 17th March, 2017 he was involuntarily Interstate Compacted to the Tennessee Department of Corrections in an attempt to censor him on the Darren Rainey case and stop him from engaging in prisoner civil rights activities.

During his years incarcerated in Florida he was incarcerated at the majority of Florida's most violent prisons.

In this historically factual book Harold Hempstead chronicles:

1)  A tremendous amount of facts on the Darren Rainey case that have never been told to the public.  Harold Hempstead exposed the brutal scalding death of Darren Rainey to the Miami Herald newspaper.

2)  The murdering, starving, torturing and abusing of Florida inmates by prison staff.

3)  The mass-poisoning of the food that inmates eat,  with pills, chemicals, feces and urine by FDC staff.

4)  The extreme physically and sexually violent conditions in the Florida Department of Corrections.

5)  The rise in gang membership and violence in Florida prisons.

6)  Drugs, cellular phones and contraband-smuggling activities.

7)  A tremendous amount of facts about the culture of corruption and the unconstitutional conditions of the Florida Department of Corrections.

This eye-opening factual book truly exposes the world behind the walls in the Florida prison system and shows why reform and independent oversight are needed in the Florida Department of Corrections.

MINI AUTHOR BIO: 

Harold Hempstead has a Doctor's Degree in Biblical Studies from Calvary Christian College and Seminary and a Paralegal Certification from Blackstone Career Institute.  He was incarcerated for 17 years in the Florida Department of Corrections prior to his March 17, 2017 involuntary Interstate Compact to the Tennessee Department of Corrections.  In 2015 the American Civil Liberties Union of Florida awarded him with the Maurice Rosen Act of Courage Award for placing his life on the line to expose the brutal and fatal scalding of Darren Rainey and for exposing the systematic culture of brutality in the Florida Department of Corrections.  Harold Hempstead is serving 165 years in prison for burglaries and dealing in stolen property.

STATEMENTS MADE ABOUT HAROLD HEMPSTEAD IN THE MEDIA:

Miami Herald newspaper - (Reporter Julie K Brown: 8/8/2015)

Article name:  The Inmate Who Exposed Florida Prisons Culture Of Cruelty

"Hempstead didn't set out to be a hero and, perhaps to some people, he isn't a hero at all.  But it is likely that no-one would have ever known about the death of mentally ill inmate Darren Rainey, or about the systematic culture of physical and mental abuse of inmates in Florida prisons. had it not been for Hempstead. "

  "Hempstead's steadfast determination to expose the monstrous acts he says he witnessed ultimately brought about an overhaul of the prison system, the firing of top corrections officials and officers, federal arrests and an ongoing investigation by the US Department of Justice ."

  "Hempstead did all this from a prison cell and in spite of threats, intimidation and a haunting fear that one day he would suffer an accident and never wake up."

Tampa Bay Times (8/11/2015)

Article name:  Editorial:  A Horrific Account Of Prison Abuse 

"Convicted burglar Harold Hempstead is responsible for helping to lift the curtains on systematic corruption in Florida's prison system."

Miami Herald newspaper - (Reporter Julie K Brown :  8/8/2015)

Article name:  The Inmate Who Exposed Florida Prisons Culture Of Cruelty

"He saw something was wrong and he took a stand.  What he did took real courage."

  "The interests of all the people in Florida have been served by this inmate (Harold Hempstead) revealing the horrors and violence of both corrections officers and inmates.  Because of him, we are better for it."

(Malcolm Tomlin - FDC Chaplain)

WTVT Fox 13 Tampa Bay, Florida 

(Reporter Craig Patrick 11/9/2015)

Darren Rainey

Postcards from hell: Inmate’s manuscript describes horrors of Florida prison system

THE PHOTOGRAPHS OF DARREN RAINEY’S BODY RELEASED IN A 5/6/17 MIAMI HERALD ARTICLE PROVE THE CONDITION OF DARREN RAINEY’S SKIN

On 3/17/17 when I was ghosted out of the Florida Department of Corrections (FDC) at 3:30 am, the Dade County Florida State Attorney released their written decision to not prosecute Rainey’s killers.  About ten days after my 3/17/17 ghosting out of Florida against my will, I received the Dade County State Attorney’s 3/17/17 foregoing written decision and I was advised that since 3/17/17 the Dade County Florida State Attorney had told the media and numerous other people that one of the primary reasons they weren’t going to prosecute Rainey’s killers was because Darren Rainey’s skin allegedly wasn’t burned.  Now the people of Dade County Florida and the whole World can see the condition of Rainey’s skin when he was taken out of the shower, in the photographs of Darren Rainey’s dead body that the Miami Herald newspaper released on 5/6/17.

Now everybody can see why several inmates, two Dade C.I. security staff, and FDC Inspector General, three nurses, a Fire-Rescue Lieutenant and I, all said that Darren Rainey’s skin was burned.  Now everybody can see what I saw on the night Darren Rainey was murdered.  Now everybody can see that the Dade County Florida State Attorney and Medical Examiner didn’t uphold their oaths to be truthful when they both said Darren Rainey’s skin wasn’t burned.  The photographs the Miami Herald newspaper published in an article on 5/6/17 show how much the life of poor, black, mentally disabled, Muslim prisoner Darren Rainey don’t matter to the Miami-Dade Police Department, Dade County Florida State Attorney, and the Dade County Florida Medical Examiner.  

Now you can see what they did to Rainey, what do you think about this case?  Do you think it’s right what they did to Rainey?  Do you think it’s right that the Dade County Florida State Attorney is allowing Rainey’s killers to stay free?  Do you think it’s right that the Dade County Florida State Attorney and Medical Examiner lied to you and everybody in saying Rainey’s skin wasn’t burned?  My desire is to move you to join our fight for justice for Rainey and our fight for the value of life.  Please sign our petition on Change.org entitled THE LIFE OF BLACK, MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER.

Harold Hempstead, ‘Caged Crusader.’

Publisher’s note:  The canvas shoe you can see in the shower is the same shoe that a convict was ordered to fill with Mr Rainey’s skin, the day after he died in the locked shower.  This convict was later ordered to “throw it in the trash.”  Thus a crime-scene was destroyed, with collusion from the police and prison authorities.

My first blog on Darren Rainey can be read here...

WHEN WAS THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT (MDPD) ASSIGNED TO INVESTIGATE THE DARREN RAINEY MURDER (6/23/12) AND WHEN DID THEY START INVESTIGATING SAID MURDER (JUNE 2014)

On 6/23/12 when Darren Rainey was murdered the MDPD was assigned to investigate said murder.  On that same day the MDPD assigned case number : 1206 23238979MDPD as the MDPD case number for the Rainey murder.

MDPD and Miami-Dade County Florida State Attorney records will show that from 6/23/12 till June 2014, the MDPD didn’t conduct any investigations into the Rainey murder.

All law enforcement officials are taught to not postpone investigating a case.  Why?  Because as time passes evidence is destroyed or lost, witnesses die and their memories get worse.  All law enforcement officials know that as time passes the chances of proven the crime decrease.  The MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case knew the foregoing and they still refused to investigate the Rainey case.  Why do you think the MDPD refused to investigate the Rainey case for approximately two years, knowing that as time progress the chance of proving the case decrease?  I cannot think of any valid legal or moral reason for the MDPD doing the foregoing.  The only logical reason I can think of as to why the MDPD would do the foregoing was that the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case believed they had more important cases to investigate.  The Rainey murder wasn’t important to the MDPD detectives assigned to the case.  Why wasn’t it important to them?  I believe it was because of who Darren Rainey was.  Rainey was a poor, black, mentally disabled Muslim prisoner, in prison for possession of a small amount of drugs.  To the MDPD nobody cared about Rainey’s murder apart from some convicted burglar serving 165 years in prison.  Since nobody in society cared about Rainey’s murder, why would they care about it!  To the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case, Rainey was a nobody.  If you order the MDPD rules for investigations and the MDPD Homicide Department Standard Operating Procedures For Investigations, you’ll see the MDPD detectives assigned to the Rainey case violated their own rules in not starting an investigation into the Rainey case until almost two years after Rainey’s murder.

Now I’d like to address what actually caused the MDPD to actually start investigating the Rainey murder.  If you go to the Miami Herald newspaper internet site and read the first Miami Herald article published on the Rainey murder on 5/18/14, and read all their articles that mention Rainey’s name until about the second week of June 2014, you’ll see it was the media that caused the MDPD to do their job and start investigating the Rainey murder.  Yes the only thing that caused the MDPD to do their job and investigate the Rainey murder was the Miami Herald publishing several articles on how the MDPD was refusing to investigate the brutal murder of Rainey that happened almost two years earlier.

MDPD and Dade County Florida State Attorney records will prove that absolutely nothing was done to investigate the Rainey murder from June 2012 till June 2014.  Please investigate what I’m saying.  Also, please read the May and June 2014 Miami Herald articles and you’ll see how they mention the MDPD not investigating the Rainey case.  I believe this should show the people of Dade County, Florida and the World that certain types of people’s lives don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re poor your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re black your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re mentally disabled your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re Muslim your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re a prisoner your life don’t matter to the MDPD.  If you’re anything else your life might not matter to the MDPD.

My friends, I’ve told people over these years that by taking a stand asking for justice for the murder of Rainey, I’m not just taking a stand for Rainey, I’m taking a stand for the value of life for all people.  By saying Rainey’s life mattered we’re saying all lives matter.  In other words, a quest for one is a quest for all.  Please join us in our quest to show that Darren Rainey’s life mattered and that all lives matter.

THE INMATE-WITNESSES THE MIAMI-DADE POLICE DEPARTMENT PLACED IN DANGER IN THE DARREN RAINEY MURDER CASE

"After approximately 6 months of Dade C.I. staff using a shower that reached temperatures of 160°F (according to Dade C.I. Cpt. Dixon) to punish mentally disabled inmates, Darren Rainey would be the last inmate placed in the shower as punishment.  Why?  Because he was killed in the shower.

The primary officer responsible for killing Rainey was reposted to work in another area at Dade C.I. (other than in the TCU where Rainey was killed) about four months after Rainey’s murder.  Rainey was killed on June 23, 2012, the officer was reposted in October 2012.  In March 2014, the officer was reassigned to work back in Dade C.I. Westside TCU which is the area where Rainey was killed.  The officer who killed Rainey was no longer an officer when he returned to the Westside TCU.  He returned as a sergeant.

In April 2014 I met with a Miami Herald representative at Dade C.I., on May 18, 2014 the Miami Herald newspaper published their first article on the Darren Rainey murder and from thereforth until the first about two weeks of June, 2014 they published several articles on the Miami-Dade Police Department not investigating the Rainey murder.

In June 2014 the Miami-Dade Police Department interviewed ten inmates in the Dade C.I. TCU who were in the Dade C.I. TCU when Rainey was killed.  In August 2014 the MDPD interviewed an eleventh inmate in the Dade C.I. TCU who was also in the Dade C.I. TCU when Rainey was killed.

These eleven inmates were all witnesses to inmates being starved, abused and tortured in the TCU they were housed in.  Several of these inmates were witnesses to the Rainey murder and how the Dade C.I. staff used the shower Rainey was killed in to torture mentally disabled inmates for approximately six months.  

Why did the MDPD place these inmates’ lives in danger and interview them while they were still housed in the Dade C.I. TCU in the custody of staff who were starving, abusing and torturing inmates?  Why didn’t the MDPD make arrangements to have these inmate-witnesses transferred to another TCU at another institution where the inmates would be safe and interview the inmates at a safe institution?  Do you believe the experienced MDPD detectives that interviewed these witnesses knew or didn’t know that by interviewing the eleven inmates in the Dade C.I. TCU, they were placing these inmates’ lives in danger?

I believe these detectives knew what they were doing and they did such to hinder/hurt the investigation.  It is obvious that the MDPD only acted like they were investigating the Rainey case because of the numerous articles that the Miami Herald published in May and June 2014 on the MDPD refusing to investigate the Rainey murder.  The police didn’t want to investigate the Rainey murder and the May and June Miami Herald articles that mentioned their failure to do the foregoing is what caused them to have to investigate said murder.  How do you think the MDPD felt that a newspaper was exposing them for failing to investigate the murder of a black, mentally disabled Muslim prisoner?  Do you believe that if the MDPD conducted a thorough and effective investigation into Rainey’s murder and proved Rainey’s murder, it would’ve made the MDPD look bad?  I believe it would’ve because it would’ve showed that the police were originally trying not to investigate a brutal murder and that they only investigated said murder and allowed such after the media published several articles on the police department refusing to investigate Rainey’s murder.  The sad thing is Rainey was a black, mentally disabled Muslim prisoner and that is why the MDPD didn’t want to investigate the Rainey case and that is why the Dade County Florida State Attorney don’t want to prosecute Rainey’s killers.

Please share this blog with your friends and anyone you think can help us with getting justice for Rainey’s murder.  Please sign our petition on Change.org entitled THE LIFE OF BLACK, MENTALLY DISABLED MUSLIM PRISONER DARREN RAINEY DOES MATTER."

Harold Hempstead, a.k.a. The Caged Crusader,

Tennessee Department of Corrections, April 2017.

-------------------------------------------------------------

Dade Correctional Institution - The House Of The Dade - Welcome To Auschwitz USA, a place where anything can happen - a place which the guards themselves liken to the Nazi's human-slaughterhouse - a place with a high rate of Death - an inexplicably high rate of Death - until Harold Hempstead started to explicate it, that is.
I heard about the place because I do environmental and political campaigning and I get sent lots of American petitions in my email inbox.  After years of studying the horrors of various dictatorial regimes around the world and campaigning for human rights in Tibet, Arabia, China, Britain, Nigeria etc. I'd seen and heard about a lot of evil, the kind of evil perpetrated by the uniformed thugs and maniacs that always find employment in the penal, police, 'intelligence' and military systems of this world's great nations...
A petition from someone called 'Windy Hempstead' caught my eye.  The story behind it stood out for its extreme brutality and inhumanity and it shocked someone who'd spent years dealing with human horror of an Official nature.  Windy's petition talked about her brother Harold and how he'd witnessed a black man being steamed to death in a Florida prison.  A particularly horrible story from the internet.  The story dwelt on my mind and I started to write on it.  Pretty soon I'd made contact with Windy, then Harold and then I wrote myself into the story. 
Just over a year later and working in partnership with Harold Hempstead on the Darren Rainey case has become my main focus of attention.  Mr Hempstead is a powerful force for good, he's a man lit by divine inspiration and that's not something I say lightly.  He's driven by a religious impulse to witness the truth, whatever the consequences - and for a man doing one hundred and sixty-five (165) years in the grip of the mass-incarceration complex of the United States of America, those consequences could well prove fatal.  Previous blogs on this and Harold's own site describe Florida Department of Corrections' deadly games, including housing Harold in a cell with a series of no less than five murderers, several of whom were tripping out on 'spice' which mysteriously bypassed the rigorous security of FDC. 
Like many a survivor of hideous trauma, Harold blames himself for not doing enough to stop a violent tragedy from occurring - even though he was locked in a cell, at the mercy of people whom he knew to be torturers and killers.  Living under repression and downright oppression for years is going to affect anyone - inmates who merely file an official grievance risk getting their bones broken or teeth kicked out (evidence available - as with all assertions about FDC)  The 'sensible' thing to do in prison is keep your head down and try not to upset the guards.  These people don't like being accused of crimes by those they seem to consider as sub-humans.  Dade had certain spooky and vile parallels with the death-camp it's guards called it after.  People were starved there, they died soon after.  Many people have died there under suspicious circumstances.  People were tortured and treated as though they were less than human - some of those who were tortured had indeed done some monstrous things, but 'monsters' torturing 'monsters' is not what is meant by 'the rule of law.'  However bad some of these people are, or were, they deserve to be treated in accordance with the law - otherwise, if the penal system is apparently above the law, you have a form of democracy so rotten and corrupted that it is no longer worthy of such a name. 
This is not the America of 1776 - this is not the Vision of an America that was dreamed by freedom-loving people long ago.  This is a corrupt, late-stage, decadent empire, strangling and eating its own children.  This is not what they fought the Brits for or what Betsy Ross made a flag for - she wouldn't have bothered if she'd known what it was going to stand for.  If she could have had a look round the Westside TCU down there at Dade Correctional Institution she would've come up with a flag of a different colour. 
One of the sickest aspects of the Darren Rainey case is that all the abuse and torture, all the starvation and 'shower-treatment' happened inside what was meant to be some sort of mental hospital. 

Darren Rainey

Since the night of June 23rd, 2012, when Darren Rainey was shoved into the 'special shower' and the whole wing heard him screaming and begging for mercy as he died, Harold Hempstead has been on a long journey, changed by what he witnessed and determined to work to expose the truth and achieve justice.  He believes in the value of every human life and so do I.  Sometimes in life you have to take a stand - when something offends you to the core of your heart and mind, when something sickens you to your stomach, you have to find a way of fighting against that thing.  The monstrous treatment and killing of Darren Rainey has galvanized a lot of people into action already, including Harold's sister Windy and the Miami Herald newspaper, who have made massive contributions towards amplifying Harold's voice and supporting this quest to uphold the value of life.  Please read Harold's blogs and feel free to respond to his questions, he would like to hear from you.  You can leave a message at his blog, harold hempstead caged crusader . wordpress . com.
