Since Imam Jamil is a state prisoner and was transferred into federal custody in 2007 for being "high profile," the first step towards his liberation is to bring him back home to Georgia, where he was originally convicted, from the Federal Tuscon Prison in Arizona.
Imam Jamil is currently 76 years old and in deteriorating health conditions. He is suffering from cataracts, has dental problems, was previously diagnosed with Smoldering Myeloma, and has suffered from a stroke.
Imam Jamil deserves to be reunited with his family, legal counsel, and supporters who are 1700 miles away from him during his feeble age.
Imam Jamil's case is currently under review by the Fulton County District Attorney’s Conviction Integrity Unit. His lack of physical representation during this process is hindering a fair opportunity for his justice.
His transfer to federal custody was made possible by a March 1990 agreement b/w the Georgia Department of Corrections & the Federal Bureau of Prisons to accept a state prisoner for monthly compensation.
If he can be transferred to federal custody, he can also be transferred back
If he can be transferred to federal custody, he can also be transferred back
The Commissioner of the @GA_Corrections, Timothy Ward, must request the National and Western Regional Director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons, Michael Carvajal & T. Ray Hinkle, that Imam Jamil be transferred back to state prison in Georgia to return under their authority.
While his transfer to state prison is the first and most urgent request, (can happen within a few weeks/months or less),
The second one is to prove his innocence, based on the confessions of the actual perpetrator (a legal route of 6-8 months).
