| 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 23rd 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 27th
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
23rd, 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.
Sincerely,
Harold Hempstead
