This letter is from Judy White,
the wife of Gary White, the Republican Jefferson County (Alabama)
Commissioner who was sent to prison after he refused to perjure himself
despite pressure from prosecutors p to say as he was directed in Grand
Jury testimony against former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.
Mr. White refused to participate in a wrongful prosecution. Federal
prosecutors made their case without his help and then prosecuted White for bribery and conspiracy; they began delivering
subpoenas the very day after he refused to comply with their demands. He
was convicted and sentenced to ten years in federal prison. After
being directed to bring all prescription medications, when he arrived at
federal prison on September 29, White told his wife that his medications
were immediately confiscated. Earlier today, he reported that he
is still without medication, despite daily requests. Mrs. White has called
and wrote prison officials warning them of the dire consequences
and begging them to provide the prescribed medications, all to no avail.
After contacting members of their delegation, the House and Senate
Judiciary Committee, the Bureau of Prisons, Office of Inspector General,
and the Regional Office with oversight of the prison, Judy White is
now appealing directly to President Obama to right this wrong.
