Michael's Lawyer experiences being "locked up" while fighting for his rights!
If you can believe, Michael has yet to meet his Lawyer! She did what she needed to do as a Lawyer to visit him, but the CO's at Southport wouldn't let her in! Well, this past Friday, she went in with a Subpoena, and the Master Sargent tore it up! Well, that's a crime, so the police were called and he was arrested.
Michael's Lawyer went to Court where the Master Sargent appeared to answer for ripping up the Subpoena, and she ended up in a heated debate with the Judge. It started out with fines for Contempt, but Michael's Lawyer loves to fight for what's right, and fines turned into jail!
She spent the weekend in Jail, as the Judge would not let her bail out. Lucky for her it wasn't Southport! For her troubles, the Master Sargent is suspended from his job! She plans on doing what she can to make Southport operate the way it should. She plans on going back with another Lawyer this week to finally meet with Michael.

oh yes, she is a fighter. that's what michael needs. i have told her many things that go on at south-port.i am praying that nothing happens to my son due to this guard being suspended. michael needs visitors more now then ever. he knows nothing at all about what has happened with his lawyer or that he even has one.

I will not stop fighting for Micheal. The Judge issued a gag order, and the information of the summons cannot be discussed, with anyone at southport. If the information is release, an investigation will be held. also, the health dept is working on not allowing the inmates to work work in the kitchen no longer. due to the disgusting habits that go on in there.. I have been working with a supreme court judge who has alot of pull.. and i am pulling a male lawyer in with me to get the Lt. and New Mst Sgt. so they they can stop bullying me. and he has work as a advocate for civil rights, and has worked for the judge i work with as a legal aid, so we both have access to him. We will do our best for Micheal, We are Fighters, and we will not stop until we hit the last possible resort.. Our mission is to Get Michael moved to a Med facility in Fishkill. and have his Parole hearing re-established. and Move
Forward with his life. and get the bitch in albany, to turn-over her decision, that ruined his last parole hearing, and the one before that. The parole Board is not allowed to let the outside world, to influence the hearing board. but it did anyway.
Again, what happened Last weekend I would do it all over again.. I have no regrets.. it was worth it to prove to the system that they cannot not get away with anything..

I'll admit this is the first time I've really felt scared for Michael's safety. Gag order or not I suspect the other guards will find out why the master sargent was suspended and who knows what they might do in response (especially if he is popular among the staff.)

If you are really Michael's lawyer, thank your for fighting for him.

Holy Moly! That's intense! I can't believe the guard only got suspended, he should have lost his job-he intentionally broke a regulation
Reply to this
I'm worried about him too. Has anybody heard from him since he's been in there? Tearing up a subpoena on the part of an official at a prison is a very bad sign. If a representative of the law can openly scoff at the law like that and only get suspended, it really makes you wonder what else happens there. The corruption is obviously and very frightening.

I have heard from him as he borrowed a couple of stamps. His complaint so far is his neighbors throwing shit at each other. He's also asking for visitors.
Reply to this
Does he not have any stamp money? Or have they not let him purchase any yet?
Reply to this
It takes time for his money account to be transferred when he was transferred, so in the prison's eye Michael has no money now. Once it does get transferred, and/or a money order comes into Southport for him, he has to wait for his Commissary day to buy stamps.

MAN! I was kinda worried till I saw the ORIGINAL post regarding his lawyer being denied access to him(always told that Attorneys should have 'pretty much' unrestricted access especially with ANY upcoming court, parole, etc visits... At least thats how TX allows my mother to 'ply her lawyering trade', but she plays in the CPS leaugues so... Maybe NOT AS RESTRICTIVE? I'm holding Michael's letter I JUST GOT like 4 minutes ago, need to read, just AM KIND OF WORRIED! Hope all is well, I guess I missed when he was transferred to 'Southport' when my letters were sent to 'Franklin'.....FINGERS CROSSED!!!

That is how those guards are.I am a former inmate and I have seen so many things that they have done that were illegal.They even beat a female inmate half to death while I was there.The nys docs should be investigated thoroughly because they are criminals especially in albion......
Reply to this
Its also been my experience that when a guard does something like that they just move him to another prison and it will most likely be a women's prison where he will probaly rape and abuse defenseless female inmates there....

The system is broken. The problem is that unless you have had a friend or relative in prison, you don't care what happens to the inmates in there! Maybe after Michael is helped, his Lawyer can start a big Lawsuit on behalf of the inmates in NY! Something has to change, and fast!
Reply to this
I completely agree. It's overwhelming, the travesties that abound inside and the apathy on the part of us outside, and the numbers of inmates growing so rapidly because of drugs.
Thank God you've heard from him, lp.
But it so good to know that
Reply to this
they would need a large majority of the public to make a stand and grab the attention of the govenor. Unfortunately there is too much ignorance in the state. The only people who understand are those who have a loved one incarcerated. A lot of people think if you are in jail you did something to be there so screw you. Those people just never got caught! Whether in prison or not we still have a right against cruel and unusual punishment. If anyone starts a petition count me in

I was going to mail him another letter but I'm a little scared to after all this craziness. Will he still get my letter ok? I had enclosed $2 to help get some stamps, is that still ok to do?
Reply to this
Yes, he's getting his mail now! There will be a wait for responses, as his money has to be transferred from Franklin, and then he has to wait for his next commissary day to buy stamps.
I still recommend sending a check or money order as that way you'll have proof if he doesn't receive it.
Reply to this
To add, the people on this site don't seem apathetic at all, but fair-minded and caring. It's so good that Michael has so many good people, and LP on his side.

I got a long letter yesterday and michael is asking his friends to write write write.
it's a horrible place where he is so please show him how much you care and send letters.
thank you,

I just sent a letter and money order to Michael yesterday. Hopefully he will get it soon. I offered lots of encouraging words and told him that he has my unconditional love and support. I will stand by him no matter what.
I think of him very often and I hope that he will be okay in Southport.
*Also, to Michael's lawyer: thank you so much for all your hard work and dedication!

I remember seeing Michael and the rest of the Club Kids on tv when I was 6. I followed his story when I got older, around 13. Ive always wanted to meet him. I feel like I know him or somethin...It's a tragedy that Michael succumbed to his dark instincts in that situation years ago... I hoped to meet him then, but maybe I'll get a chance when he's finally released! I'm gonna fly to NY from GA. Ive been, somewhat, nervous to write him... because I dont wanna seem like a wannabe or a stalker. I just feel like I connect w/ him on certain levels though we've never talkd, I hope we'll have a friendship one day soon. I believe I'm gonna disregard my usual shy-like character, andand write him! I send my best to Michael and hope to see him someday!

I think now is the perfect time to write! He has plenty of time to answer. Most people seem to debate about writing because they feel that connection but think it's stupid because they have never even met, or spoken to Michael! You'll find it to be something you wished you'd done earlier, but glad you finally did, so go and write him!
Just in case, here's his address;
Southport Correctional Facility
Michael Alig #97A6595
236 Bob Masia Drive
P.O. Box 2000
Pine City, New York 14871-2000

Hi, I'm thinking of writing to Michael but before I do I was just wondering if there's anything in particular I could send him? I'm in the UK where we can send money, cd's, and food items to people in prison but I'm guessing by all of the entries on here that's probably not the case there.
If someone could let me know that would be great- I'd love to send him something to make his day a little brighter in there!!
Reply to this
Since he's "In The Hole" he's not allowed packages. But, you can send magazines (he loves UK magazines), books (true crime) cards, newspapers, money (he doesn't ask for money, I just think people should send enough for return postage) and of course encourging letters!
He's very sad that he's not been able to write back, but once he's able to purchase stamps (please don't send any, not allowed) he will start writing back to everyone!

No stationary! Magazines he likes are People, entertainment magazines, Fashion & Style, & BOYZ.

I got a letter from Michael yesterday which was postmarked from Southport so he has at least some stamps now.
Reply to this
i believe michael can buy 50 stamps PER MONTH. THAT is not much but he will try to answer as many as he can.
Reply to this
He can BUY that many stamps, but can he use more if people send them?
Reply to this
We are not allowed to send him stamps. They will be thrown out. Stamps are money in prison, that's why they limit the amount they can buy. 50 stamps a month is not enough for Michael, so luckily inmates "trade" in there, as Michael does a lot to be able to respond to everyone. He said again in his last letter that he feels so bad that he has not been able to write to everyone, but now he can start! He is still asking for letters, magazines and books! If you do mail a magazine or book, just comment on it so that no one sends a double, as maybe that's why he hasn't received any yet. If you have sent some, let me know as I'm worried that he may not be receiving them.

I am SO happy to hear that someone is fighting for Michael. His lawyer sounds awesome and I really hope she can help him get the justice he deserves.
Reply to this
When will he ever get out ? He has already did his time and more. Enough is enough.
Reply to this
If his Lawyer comes through and gets this lastest "set up" off his record, he could still get out late this year. If not, maybe May 2012. Yes, you are right, he has done more than enough time. He has never been violent in prison, so others in his situation would be out already. Freeze is out, which proves that the crime was not the reason to keep Michael in!
Reply to this
I think the latest he can be released is April 2016, right?
But he should be let out before then if justice is served.
Reply to this
That's when the maxium runs out, and he'd be fully free, meaning no Parole. That's 20 years served! Hopefully he'll win his appeal, in reality he should, but with this prison system who knows!
