Dear Editor, Concerned Citizens, Message Boards, Elected Officials, Lowndes County Inmates, and Military Veterans!
On 26 Aug 2004, the Lowndes County Board of Commissioners was given signed letters, notarized statements from eleven inmates in the Lowndes County Jail. Their allegations consisted of cover-ups, abuses, inhumane, unsanitary conditions, and that their Constitution Rights were being violated.
Civil Action #89-54-VAL, filed in U.S. District Courts of Middle District of Georgia, Valdosta Division included many of their discrepancies filed in 1989.
Moreover, the Valdosta Daily times, the Lake Park Post and Capt Yeager of the Sheriffs Department reported many of the same discrepancies.
On 21 Jun 2004, another 49, year old white male inmate died in the jail. It took thirty-five days for local news media to release his name. However, after seventy-two days the cause of death has not been released to the public.
Therefore, as inmates deaths continues to rise in Lowndes County Jail. Local commissioners and others refuse to respond to these citizens, many of whom are military veterans.
It is said that Rev. Martin L. King Jr. was steered around Lowndes County because of local officialç—´ unwillingness to change.
It was just in March 2004, that an 1860 Valdosta, City Charter was removed from the Municipal Courtroom hallway that read. The Mayor and Council shall pass all proper and necessary laws or ordinances for the control of slaves, and free persons of color in said town and suppress, and abate all nuisances arriving from hogs, dogs, horses, or other stock straying at large in said town, or from other causes.・
Until this day local citizens live in fear in Lowndes County Georgia because of a power structure that is unwilling to change, and by a tailored media that refuses to do in-depth investigative reporting. But who cares?
