Since October of last year, former Mesa County Clerk Tina Peters has sat in prison over attempts to protect election integrity. Now, however, following accusations of abuse, the Department of Justice is investigating the state\u2019s prison system\u2014including the facility where Peters is being held.\n<\/p>\n

From The Gateway Pundit:\n<\/p>\n

On December 8, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet K. Dhillon sent an official notice to Colorado Governor Jared Polis announcing the opening of a sweeping Civil Rights Division investigation into the Colorado Department of Corrections (DOC) and the Department of Youth Services (DYS).\n<\/p>\n

The investigation covers conditions across 21 state-run facilities and 12 youth centers, including the facility where Tina Peters is currently incarcerated.\n<\/p>\n

This action comes after mounting reports of constitutional violations, excessive force, unsafe conditions, medical neglect, and religious discrimination inside Colorado prisons.<\/p>\n

You can view AAG Dhillon\u2019s notice in the embedded post below.\n<\/p>\n

Under my direction, @CivilRights<\/a> has opened an investigation into the entire Colorado prison system following multiple reports of unconstitutional and legally insufficient carceral conditions. Prisoners have civil rights. @AGPamBondi<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/RTw69CzLDE<\/a>\n<\/p>\n

Peters has appeared on IFA webcasts previously, and we have covered her story in several articles. IFA Contributing Writer Rich Swingle detailed her plight last December, writing that she was found \u201cguilty of seven of\u00a010 counts<\/span> connected to using county employee Gerald Wood\u2019s badge to help Conan Hayes, a cybersecurity expert, to make forensic copies of the election management server (EMS) hard drive.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

According to The Gateway Pundit (TGP), Peters has faced abuse and unfair treatment in prison. She was reportedly strip-searches and thrown into solitary confinement on November 20. Earlier in the month, TGP says her cell was kept at a low temperature barely above freezing, leading Peters to become very sick. TGP even shared a message from a close friend of Peters\u2019 who said of the former election clerk, \u201cher health is not good and deteriorating as we speak.\u201d\n<\/p>\n

Abuses like these cannot continue, and the Department of Justice agrees. As AAG Dhillon put it, \u201cPrisoners,\u201d despite their crimes and convictions, \u201chave civil rights.\u201d Let\u2019s ask the Lord to guide this investigation!\n<\/p>\n
