Rick Van Wickler Discusses the County Jail on WKBK

by | Sep 24, 2010 | 11 comments

Thanks to Dan Mitchell for having Cheshire County Jail superintendent Rick Van Wickler on his show to discuss a few issues related to the jail.

I called in to discuss taxpayers subsidizing federal prisoners (and the larger jail), the private property signs, and the continued targeting of Free Keene activists.  Unfortunately Van Wickler advances the Campaign for Ignorance by painting me as the “leader” and claiming “Sam’s group” has people that want to be in jail. If I’m your leader, I have to say, you guys suck at taking orders.

I don’t hink any of us want to be in jail, but there’s a willingness to use the system’s threats and punishment to raise awareness to the injustice and immorality inherent in such actions.

Keene Activist Arrested for Paraphernalia

“John Doe” is refusing to identify himself and has been jailed indefinitely at an arraignment in front of the robed man this morning. If Sam’s experience a couple of years back is any indication, John Doe could be in jail for a long time. Details are unknown regarding the circumstances of the arrest.
