The Jeff Dicks Coalition is a  human rights organization dedicated to the protection of everyone who finds themselves in prison. 

We believe human rights should be applied to all human beings, and that prisoners are sent to prison to serve their time, and not to be abused. Saved by dogs, electrocuted by cattle prods and much more.  Does such barbaric abuse inside the US jails and prisons explain the horrors that were committed in Iraq?

The are just some of the victims of wholesale torture taking place inside the US prison system.  These things happened and were discovered by the investigation of BBC channel 4.

 

The Jeff Dicks Coalition consists of members who are committed to making a peaceful change in the procedures that direct the actions of those responsible for operating our courts and our State and Federal prison systems, as well as educate everyone who are unaware of how much inhumane treatment and abuses are being committed on prisoners.   They donate their time to help inmates.

   Many people are wrongly convicted and sent to prison to die, either by the hands of guards, or by the death chambers.  We believe that all prisoners have the right to be protected by guards who take it upon themselves to torture, rape, beat and kill those under their care.  We believe that prisoners have the right to expect medical care when needed, and not to be denied that care or treatment because they are locked up.

The mission of The Jeff Dicks Coalition is to correct the abuses that we hear about in the system.  We believe it is up to us to educate the public about what is going on behind the walls. We believe that it is up to us to speak out that killing in the name of justice is wrong. We believe the death penalty does not belong in a civilized society. 

 

How can you help? We desperately need people to step up and help stamp out the medical abuses going on.  It's only a matter of writing a few letters, perhaps a call or two a month.
  • Become a member   

  • Volunteer. Most families of prisoners aren't joining.  Make an exception and show you care where others don't.

  • Write your representatives related to medical abuse issues

  • Donate time or money to help the national chapter

  • Start a state chapter if none exists.

  • Spread the word.  

Make a donation today and save a life.  We have to depend on the generosity of people out there if we are to save lives.

From a card sent to his mother

"Mom, Just wanted to wish you a merry Christmas and hope that the New Year brings you only happiness and joy. I also want to say how proud I am of you.  A lot of us see injustice in this world and wish there was something we could do to change them. But few of us actually do something and you are one of the few that has the courage, heart and spirit to take on unpopular social issues and make a stand.  I love you for that mom, and respect your courage and I along with a lot of other people are so proud of you for sticking with it and fighting the powers that be, to have the other side heard and winning.

I’ve always known you were a strong person but never realized how determined you could be, until you started taking on the issues you have the past years.  Social injustice in this world has always put hatred in my heart, and so the issues you write about really have touched my heart. And the passion of your words are like that of a sixties radical.  Words just can’t express the pride I feel when talking to others about you. I thank you mom for all you have meant to me in life.  Your love has given me strength.  Your determination has given me faith.  Over the years you have been my mother, my friend and my guiding light.  You will always be in my heart and spirit.

No matter what the future may hold, always know that you have given me a lifetime of joy. I pray for your happiness mom, and that the New Year brings you all you could dream for.  You are always in my thoughts and prayers.  Have a beautiful Christmas mom. I love you with all my heart and soul. May you always know peace of mind.  Love you, Jeff "

"I love you Mom. You are always in my heart. The older I get the more of you I see in me.  Thanks mom for teaching me how to love when all I knew was hate.  You never once let me down. Not once. I would not have all I have today, including my dreams, if it wasn't for you.  You are truly the greatest and I love you.  Trevor."

 

 

 

 

A Mothers Torment 
by Shirley Dicks

 
Jeffrey Dicks, the son of an impoverished Tennessee Mother, languishes on death row for a robbery he didn't commit and a murder he didn't even see. A Mothers Torment, told by Shirley is the tense, personal and highly moving true story of the bloody crime of which eighteen year old Jeffrey was accused of. His family was unable to afford a competent legal defense.

At the trial, they watched in horror as VITAL evidence was never presented to the jury. Jeff, who had no history of violent or criminal behavior was convicted of a murder and sentenced to die in Tennessee's electric chair. To read an excerpt and order,
