Reports on the false and absurd things people have been told when calling in!
- The inmates can reach their legal counsel through phone, in-person visit or pen/paper
- Tablets aren't a requirement nor a right, they're a privilege
- The prison is at the mercy of the vendor & there are tablet shortages
Some people calling in have reported they've been given the jail staff number: 940-766-8100 ext 4059. People can also try to call this number. Please report back what you are told!
Scripts and numbers above. Keep calling until the demands are met. Health, safety, and legal futures are at risk.
Please update the support committee with any information gathered in these calls. Reach us on our socials, over Signal, or at dfwsupportcommittee@hacari.com
Defendants are in an urgent post trial window where they need to be in contact with their lawyers who are filing motions. This is primarily done through tablets, which are currently mostly broken. There are 40 people in the pod and only 2 tablets with video capability. We need the facility to fix the broken tablets so that our people can get adequate legal counsel in preparation for crucial deadlines this week.
Yesterday, Rowan was targeted and moved out of general population, where they've been advocating and fundraising in solidarity with their codefendants and with the other incarcerated people held there. The facility is now keeping them in med seg, and potentially exposing them to respiratory illnesses. Call now to demand they end this political persecution and return Rowan safely to gen pop.
JOIN US TOMORROW FOR A PROTEST OUTSIDE THE COURTHOUSE- our final say before the jury deliberates. Don't let political repression win! it is right to rebel against ICE!
4-6 pm!
PRAIRIELAND FEBRUARY 17 TRIAL UPDATES
What this means for the case is still unclear, though we know this will mean a significant delay, if only even a week, for defendants who have suffered terrible jail conditions while awaiting trial.
More details about the trial as well as ways to show up for defendants will be provided as they become available.

Call the Tarrant County Sheriff: 817-884-3099
"I'm calling about the conditions of the Prairieland defendants, in your custody for their federal trial. I'm deeply concerned about what is happening to them in your jail. I demand you immediately move them out of solitary and into general population, remove their "aggressive and dangerous" classification, give them full tablet access like other prisoners, and that no more deaths occur under your watch."
Call Judge Pittman: 817-850-6656
"I'm calling about the condition of the Prairieland defendants in Tarrant County Jail. The conditions they are experiencing are unconstitutional and will impact their ability to get a fair trial and as the judge on the case Pittman needs to order the jail to treat them appropriately. We demand that they be moved to general population, and have access to reasonable food, hygiene and communication with their families and lawyers. They must have a fair trial."

We are asking our supporters to call the jail and the judge and demand that this change. They have a right to a fair trial and to be treated as innocent until proven otherwise.

- It's a "security issue" & they will move Rowan back when they can
