Support Aaron "Israel" Isby's Petition for Credit Time Restoration!

 https://www.idocwatch.org/blog-1/2022/8/1/support-aaron-israel-isbys-petition-for-credit-time-restoration

Aaron Isby is a long-term Indiana political prisoner who has had his
sentence illegally extended by the Indiana Department of Correction
through their intentional miscalculation of the credit time that should
have been restored to him. He is currently being denied restoration of 6
years of credit time that should be restored under Indiana statute. If
that credit time was applied to Mr. Isby-Israel’s sentence, as it should
be, he would have to be released from prison immediately because he
would have already completed his sentence. Mr. Isby-Israel submitted a
classification appeal over 6 months ago, and IDOC Watch followed up last
month, to no response. We are now asking people to call the IDOC
Commissioner’s Office and demand a response to Aaron Isby’s appeal for
restoration of good time.

Please call the IDOC Commissioner’s Office and email IDOC Commissioner
Robert Carter Jr., and demand that the DOC responds to Mr. Isby’s appeal
for Credit Time restoration immediately!

Commissioner’s Office: (317) 233-6984 ext.0, ext.2

Script: “Hello, I’m [calling/emailing] to request that the Indiana
Department of Correction respond formally to the appeal for credit time
restoration that Mr. Aaron Isby #892219, who is in IDOC custody at Miami
CF, submitted over 6 months ago.”

Aaron Isby is serving an attempted murder sentence for defending himself
against an attack by a cell extraction squad armed with K-9’s and
firehoses in 1990 at Pendleton CF. That attack was ordered by a racist
guard who called Aaron the N-word and then lied on him, saying that
Aaron had attacked him. Aaron was thrown in the hole, and then attacked
by the cell extraction squad, which ended with some guards being injured
and Aaron being charged with two counts of attempted murder. For 28
consecutive years after that incident, Aaron was held in solitary
confinement, until he won a precedent-setting lawsuit in 2018
challenging the IDOC’s practice of indefinite solitary confinement.
