Update: From Attorney Al-Amin. Imam Jamil's Wife.
Greetings,
Imam Jamil Al-Amin was transported yesterday, September 25, 2014, from the Butner FMC to the Oklahoma City Federal Transfer Center. We will continue to check the online federal inmate search to determine his next location, and will have another message once we speak to him.
Again, we thank you for your support.
Karima Al-Amin
Jamil Al-Amin #99974-555, formerly known as H.Rap Brown, was wrongfully convicted in The State of Georgia. Imam Jamil was housed in solitary confinement at Supermax in Florence,Colorado for seven years. He was transferred to Canaan USP, in Waymart, PA but, is now in Tucson Arizona.
Urgent call To Action
URGENT CALL TO ACTION!
DO NOT SEND Jamil Al-AMIN BACK TO SUPERMAX
Imam Jamil has smoldering myeloma, which is an inactive form of multiple myeloma. Individuals with smoldering myeloma generally are monitored without receiving treatment, although there are studies that indicate early intervention with medication could prevent the progression to active multiple myeloma.
The physicians at Butner FMC have not recommended that Imam Jamil receive any medication for his smoldering myeloma. They agree that he should be monitored and tested every two to three months to determine any progression of his condition. Imam Jamil has other medical conditions, which have not been addressed adequately at the Butner FMC.
1. Ask that Jamil Al-Amin is NOT returned to Florence ADX, and Request that he is NOT placed in solitary confinement because of his chronic medical state.
2. Request that Jamil Al-Amin is held - pending his appeals - at Butner, NC or a Georgia state facility to have access to his team of attorneys.
3. Request close monitoring and exploration of treatment for Jamil Al-Amin's medical conditions.

Update On Imam Jamil Al-Amin's Medical Condition
Re: Update on Imam Jamil Al-Amin’s Medical Condition
Reg. No. 99974-555
Date: September 15, 2014
For two months, Imam Jamil Al-Amin has undergone tests at the Butner FMC as a result of our successful campaign to have him transferred out of the Florence ADX to the federal medical center.
The campaign was necessary to bring attention to his failing medical health that the Florence ADX continued to ignore. For those who joined us in advocating on behalf of Imam Jamil, and to those who have sent letters and cards to him, we continue to extend our appreciation.
We are able to report that Imam Jamil has smoldering myeloma, which is an inactive form of multiple myeloma. Individuals with smoldering myeloma generally are monitored without receiving treatment, although there are studies that indicate early intervention with medication could prevent the progression to active multiple myeloma. The physicians at Butner FMC have not recommended that Imam Jamil receive any medication for his smoldering myeloma. They agree that he should be monitored and tested every two to three months to determine if his condition has progressed; then and only then would he receive aggressive treatment if the test results reveal he has active multiple myeloma.
Although Imam Jamil has other medical conditions, which we feel have not been addressed adequately at the Butner FMC, he is “awaiting transfer.” In this regard, we plan to do the following and ask you again to join us in raising our collective voices to prevent another injustice:

- continue to oppose Jamil Al-Amin’s return to the Florence ADX, and challenge any FBOP’s decision to house him in another federal facility under solitary confinement conditions in his chronic medical state;
- continue to call for Jamil Al-Amin to be held, pending his appeals, in a state or federal Georgia prison to have access to his team of attorneys;
- and continue to urge close monitoring and exploration of treatment for Jamil Al-Amin’s medical conditions.
