<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body"> David Mark Tracy was the 12th of Alice and Thomas Tracy's 13 children. Weighing but 6 lbs. 4 oz. at birth, David was a beautiful baby who grew into a healthy and happy little boy within the loving circle of his large, happy family.
David was a smart child with a playful nature. He loved bike riding, going fishing with his 8 brothers, 4 sisters and his parents, and he loved playing baseball and basketball. He was a fun brother, who loved to laugh and attended church every Sunday at the Salvation Army church.
David's parents are good people who raised him to realize that we are all God's children, and that people were not to be judged by their race, creed, color, financial status or religion, but by the content of their characters and what's in their hearts. David understood that we are all brothers and sisters and he accepted everyone in that spirit.
David was only 17 years old when he went to jail for possession of approximately $100 dollars worth of drugs, which were found near but not on him. He was sentenced to 30 months in prison and spent fewer than 2 years in a Connecticut prison before he was transferred to the newly-built, and already notorious Wallens Ridge Unit, which sits on an isolated mountain top in Virginia.
Wallens Ridge is staffed by a cadre of racist guards who immediately singled David out for verbal and physical abuse because he associated with people of all races. David wrote home that the guards were always messing with him and had begun spraying women's perfume into his cell and calling him "nigger lover"?, "race traitor"?, "northern scum"? and "Connecticut bastard."?
Seven months before he was due to be released David's family received a phone call from another prisoner. The frantic caller told David's family that the guards were constantly harassing David and he was afraid they would kill him unless they could help him. He begged them to please help David. Before they could get help to him, David was dead.
In his statement to the media Connecticut DOC Commissioner John Armstrong stated that a guard had witnessed David jump off a bunk with a noose around his neck. The guard claimed to have gone for help, but no help was possible because David's wind pipe was crushed and they couldn't get air into his lungs.
According to the autopsy performed on David's body, there was nothing wrong with his windpipe. David's family are certain that their beloved son and brother DID NOT commit suicide. David loved life and his family. He was making plans to regain his life in 7 short months, and looking forward to being home where he could once again relax and enjoy the safety, love and warmth of the family he missed so desperately.
The prison kept David's body for 11 days before sending him home to his family for burial. During that time they called David's family several times to ask if they wanted his body cremated. Why the delay in sending David's body home? Why were they so anxious to cremate him? What is the Wallens Ridge prison covering up????
The families of prisoners transferred to Wallens Ridge from New Mexico and Connecticut began receiving word from their loved ones of treatment such as that inflicted on David Tracy as soon as they reached that dungeon of torture and death. After two inmates were shot by guards Connecticut legislators finally responded to the pleas of prisoner families and made an inspection tour of Wallens Ridge.<span style="color: #FF6666"> In Warden Stanley K. Young's office they were surprised to see displayed an array of Civil War memorabilia and a model of a slave ship. But they took no action. They still have taken no action.
How many young men will die at the hands of Virginia racists </span>before the states of Connecticut and New Mexico stop sending the husbands, sons and brothers of their citizens to be tortured and murdered by the degenerate fiends entrusted with the lives of the helpless inhabitants of Wallens Ridge?
What REALLY happened to David Mark Tracy? Does anyone REALLY believe that after serving 23 grueling months of incarceration and with only 7 months left to go on his sentence and anxious to see his family again, David Tracy committed suicide?
This was David's first time in prison. He was a completely non-violent young man. We want to know why he was sent to a level 6 private prison in the first place.
David's family needs answers. They need justice - for David and for themselves!
<span style="color: #FF6666">Please write to the Governor of Connecticut by clicking the first button on the left of this page and demand that he remove all Connecticut prisoners from Virginia prisons NOW, before the life of another life is sacrificed on the diabolic alter of racism! </span></div></div>
