Angaza Iman Bahar (aka Jimmy Jones) is currently being illegally detained by the Indiana DOC and Indiana Parole Board at Indiana State Prison after the Parole Board illegally switched the order of his consecutive sentences after arresting him on a warrant for technical parole violations, so that he is now effectively in custody on the longer of his two sentences from his 1994 conviction, which he had already completed and been discharged from in 2020. Please read the documents linked to the images below to understand the details of the situation. Click the first image to read his habeas corpus petition, and the second to read the memorandum of law.
Angaza has filed a habeas corpus petition in the Laporte County court, but the court is refusing to acknowledge it, and he is facing serious retaliation at ISP for challenging the Parole Board’s impunity. We are raising money to hire a lawyer for him, please donate here if you can!
