Greetings Imam Jamil Network & Friends:

It has been reported that doctors say Imam Jamil has 3 months to live. Allah, in His Grace, Mercy & Wisdom, knows best. However, Imam Jamil has reported that his mail is being slowed down and withheld. He has just received some dated back to September.

Let us please use the power Of our collective advocacy to relieve this further injustice on Imam Jamil by writing to Warden Thomas Scarantino to ensure Imam Jamil timely receives his mail.

Below is a sample letter for your use:

Re: Request for Timely Delivery of Mail for Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin (Reg. #99974-555)

Dear Warden Scarantino,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to respectfully express concern regarding significant delays in the delivery of incoming mail addressed to inmate Imam Jamil Abdullah Al-Amin, currently housed at FMC Butner.

It has been brought to my attention that Imam Jamil has not been receiving his mail in a timely manner, and in some cases, important correspondence has been withheld or delayed for extended periods. As you know, timely delivery of mail is a fundamental right protected under federal guidelines and essential to an inmate’s ability to maintain communication with family, legal representatives, and outside support networks.

Time-sensitive and important mail is being delayed. Imam Jamil is currently awaiting important and time-sensitive information. Any delay or withholding of mail places unnecessary strain on his well-being and directly impacts his ability to receive critical updates, personal communication, and essential correspondence.

Respectful Request

With full respect for your leadership and the responsibilities of your staff, I am requesting the following:

1 A review of the mail processing timeline for Imam Jamil’s incoming correspondence.

2 Assurance that all mail addressed to him is delivered promptly, in accordance with Bureau of Prisons policy.

3 Clarification of any issues or procedural obstacles that may be causing delays, so they may be properly understood and addressed.

Ensuring timely mail delivery is a small administrative step that can significantly improve inmate care, transparency, and adherence to federal standards.

Closing

Thank you for taking the time to review this matter. I trust that, under your supervision, FMC Butner will ensure that Imam Jamil’s mail is handled promptly and in accordance with established regulations. I appreciate your attention and look forward to your response.

Respectfully,

It is crucial for the prison to know that a prisoner is not alone. It is crucial they know Imam’s family, friends and supporters care deeply and that he is not alone.
