Prisoners of Faith Campaign Pack: USA - Imam Jamil Al-Amin – Under 23-hour Lockdown

Following a surprising transfer to Colorado's 'supermax' prison, Imam Jamil continues to be held in 23-hour solitary confinement. On 16 March 2000, Imam Jamil was sentenced to life imprisonment at Georgia State Prison, in Reidsville, on charges of 13 counts of murder and felony murder for shooting two deputies, one of whom, Deputy Ricky Kinchen, died as a result of the shootings.

On 1 August 2007, the Imam was then transferred from the Georgia State Prison to Colorado's ADMAX Federal facility, America's most notorious supermax prison also known as the 'Guantanamo Bay of the mainland'.
