The Few Among the Few at the Racially Classified Prison Called the CMU
Written by A Detainee in Terre Haute Monday, 15 August 2011The communication management unit at Terre Haute, Indiana currently holds about thirty prisoners, twenty of whom are Muslims. These Muslims come from various parts of the world such as Yemen, Egypt , Pakistan, Lebanon, Palestine, Iraq, America and elsewhere. The differences in their cultural backgrounds naturally causes distinctions in their personalities, but they all have one thing in common, they all share the same faith and that is what has brought them all to this racially classifed unit where their communication within the prison as well as, with the outside world is highly restricted. Insha Allah after reading this essay the readers will get a first hand account of who these prisoners are, and since the day they were snatched from their loved ones how they were able to maintain their sanity. Perhaps, if the world gets to know these prisoners and prays for the, Allah will bring an immediate end to their ordeal. Indeed, Allah is able to do everything.
