Louisiana, USA: Release Albert Woodfox Unconditionally Deadline: ASAP - ONLINE PETITION

     In 1972 a young white prison guard named Brent Miller was fatally stabbed inside Louisiana State Penitentiary, also known as “Angola.” Although no physical evidence tied African American prisoner Albert Woodfox to the crime, he was immediately assumed to be guilty and placed in solitary confinement; 23 hours a day isolated in a small cell, four steps long, three steps across. He has remained in isolation for four decades, fighting to prove his innocence in a legal process tainted with flaws. Albert Woodfox’s conviction has been overturned three times. In late 2014, an appeals court upheld the most recent decision in Albert’s favor, and on February 6, his lawyers filed for bail. April 2015 will mark 43 years since Woodfox was first placed solitary - for a crime he maintains that he didn't' commit, a claim that the available evidence supports. Click here to ask Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal to ensure Albert’s release.
