Aaron Isby is a long-term Indiana political prisoner who has had his sentence illegally extended by the Indiana Department of Correction through their intentional miscalculation of the credit time that should have been restored to him. He is currently being denied restoration of 6 years of credit time that should be restored under Indiana statute. If that credit time was applied to Mr. Isby-Israel’s sentence, as it should be, he would have to be released from prison immediately because he would have already completed his sentence. Mr. Isby-Israel submitted a classification appeal over 6 months ago, and IDOC Watch followed up last month, to no response. We are now asking people to call the IDOC Commissioner’s Office and demand a response to Aaron Isby’s appeal for restoration of good time.

Please call the IDOC Commissioner’s Office and email IDOC Commissioner Robert Carter Jr., and demand that the DOC responds to Mr. Isby’s appeal for Credit Time restoration immediately!

Script: “Hello, I’m [calling/emailing] to request that the Indiana Department of Correction respond formally to the appeal for credit time restoration that Mr. Aaron Isby #892219, who is in IDOC custody at Miami CF, submitted over 6 months ago.”
Aaron Isby is serving an attempted murder sentence for defending himself against an attack by a cell extraction squad armed with K-9’s and firehoses in 1990 at Pendleton CF. That attack was ordered by a racist guard who called Aaron the N-word and then lied on him, saying that Aaron had attacked him. Aaron was thrown in the hole, and then attacked by the cell extraction squad, which ended with some guards being injured and Aaron being charged with two counts of attempted murder. For 28 consecutive years after that incident, Aaron was held in solitary confinement, until he won a precedent-setting lawsuit in 2018 challenging the IDOC’s practice of indefinite solitary confinement.
