solitary

Siegelman has been confined in a Special Housing Unit cell for the last eight weeks and has only been out of his cell for less than 5 hours.

Dear Friend,

Former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman has been in solitary confinement for eight weeks after speaking out on criminal justice reform.

According to a Siegelman attorney, on October 15, Don Siegelman, while being interviewed on a radio talk show about criminal justice reform, was ordered by a prison official to hang up the phone. He was immediately moved to a higher security facility and placed in solitary confinement.

Siegelman has been confined in a Special Housing Unit cell for the last eight weeks and has only been out of his cell for less than 5 hours. He has been not been allowed to use the telephone or have any visitors during that time, including family.

Siegelman, a proponent of criminal justice reform, had written and published a paper in support of the SAFE Justice Act which is pending before Congress. Siegelman’s paper had recently been delivered to each Member of Congress.

Joseph and Dana Siegelman have a last breakfast with their dad on 9.11.2012 before he enters Oakdale Federal prison.

Not even allowed to talk to his family over the holidays!

Joseph Siegelman, the former Governor’s son and one of his attorneys, added “the telephone number for the Thom Hartman Talk Show had been approved by the prison, and we can find no rules against talking to the media in BOP regulations. In fact, one regulation states that inmates ‘have the right to correspond with the media.’ We do not know at this point if he will be subjected to any further disciplinary actions for talking on the radio show.”

Siegelman, convicted in 2007, has consistently maintained his innocence. He currently has an appeal before the United States Supreme Court regarding his sentence which included additional prison time for ‘Acquitted Conduct’ imposed by the recently disgraced federal judge Mark Fuller.

Governor Siegelman will again be separated from his family this Holiday Season. Currently, he is not permitted see or speak to them.

FILMING FOR Atticus and the Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman

From the moment this project first began, we made a commitment to tell the entire truth about this case, and substantiate it with illustrative details to provide a historical record of what really happened. This film will hopefully make an impact by revealing many of the flaws in our judicial system that allowed this innocent man to be railroaded into prison, and to expose the judicial abuse that has become so pervasive in America's courts.

To learn more, view our trailer here: Atticus and the Architect: The Political Assassination of Don Siegelman.

If you are familiar with this case, you know that Don Siegelman does not belong in prison at all; you also know that the objective rule of law has been completely disregarded, and replaced with the political agenda of his political rivals. From the prosecutorial misconduct to the malicious prosecution to a wrongful conviction – the list of abuses in this case is simply staggering.
