On Monday, December 17, 2007 at 12:00 pm and on, we are asking that calls be made to the SCI-Smithfield Prison in Huntingdon, PA - Telephone # 814-643-6520 to demand the status of my son, John Anthony Diaz - DS-4803 , who is being physically abused, deprived, provoked and written up for numerous unwarranted misconducts. These prisoners who are being held in solitary confinement have stated they are being deprived of food and have lost so much weight that they are now frail men. They have been forced to endure so much affliction that some have reverted to suicides and several others have attempted suicides which the officials have been trying to cover up. There have been grievances and law suits filed by these prisoners which have been neglected, destroyed or dismissed by Lisa Hollibough, Asst. to the Superintendent and others within the PA Dept.of Correction, Tel # 717-975-4918 .

The officials have also been shipping prisoners out who may have either been part of the abuses and/or witnessing everything. The sister, Angie Zheng, of one of the suicide victims and I are in the process of planning a demonstration at SCI-Smithfield in Huntingdon, PA in order to attract media attention and bring awareness of what is happening in the PA prisons and with the PA DOC, who we believe is part of a statewide problem involving abuses and deaths in PA Prisons. We hope that we can depend on your participation in this upcoming demonstration to expose a corrupt DOC in PA. Anyone wishing to assist in this planning may contact either:
