Kevin Rashid Is Back in Virginia — Now He Needs His Legal Property

Posted on by dirtysouth

Dear comrades and supporters of Rashid,

We have an important update: Kevin “Rashid” Johnson has been returned from South Carolina to Virginia custody.

This is a major victory. Thank you to everyone who called, emailed, shared, and kept pressure on officials while Rashid was being held in South Carolina under retaliatory and isolating conditions. People power helped get him out of South Carolina exile.

But the fight is not over.

Rashid is now at Keen Mountain Correctional Center in Virginia, and he urgently needs access to his legal property, personal property, and a tablet for communication.

He has multiple lawsuits against VADOC and SCDC with upcoming deadlines. Without his legal materials, he may miss court deadlines in active litigation. Without tablet access, he remains cut off from the people helping him litigate, publish, communicate, and survive.

This is not a routine property issue. This is an access-to-courts emergency.

Please take action today:

1. Call Keen Mountain Correctional Center Main number: (276) 498-7411 Ask for the property department, property officer, property room, or whoever handles inmate property and legal property.

You can also call Warden Jessica King’s office: (434) 602-3103

2. Call VADOC Central Administration Lucinda R. Childs-White, Deputy Director of Administration (804) 887-7881

3. Use the one-click email tool on Rashid’s campaign page: bit.ly/free-rashid-june-2026

Tell officials:

Kevin Johnson #1007485 urgently needs access to his legal property, personal property, and tablet access at Keen Mountain. He has upcoming lawsuit deadlines, and without his legal materials he may miss court deadlines. Please release all of his legal property and personal property immediately, confirm that all transferred property from South Carolina has been received and inventoried, and provide tablet access so he can communicate and meet his legal deadlines.

Please also share the social media posts widely:

TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTBVUjgJe/

We got Rashid back to Virginia. Now we need to make sure Virginia does not continue the retaliation by blocking his legal access.

Demand: release Kevin Johnson’s legal property, personal property, and tablet access now.

North Carolina Bertie-Martin Prisoners Take Guards Hostage, Seize Jail in Uprising

Prisoners seized control of parts of a regional jail in eastern North Carolina on Monday after overpowering correction officers and taking two guards hostage. The uprising at the Bertie-Martin Regional Detention Center in Windsor is another instance of revolutionary fervor in the US as the state further descends into blatant fascism.

At the time, 88 prisoners and three guards were inside the facility. Reports claim that prisoners fought back against the staff and gained control of the facilities.

Bertie County Sheriff Tyrone Ruffin said his office received a call reporting that the detention centre had been taken over and that two correctional officers were being held hostage. The first deputy arrived within two minutes but was unable to enter the facility.

One correction officer managed to escape, while the other two were held in custody. Negotiations resulted in the release of the two state prisoners.

Eventually all correction guards were released. The details of the negotiations are not clear.
