The Civil Disobedience Evolution Fund’s slogan “supporting the good people who disobey bad laws” perfectly describes heroes like Jim Johnson, a man who is bravely refusing to fill out papers revealing private financial details. Judge Arnold found him in contempt of court for refusing to fill out paperwork, and Jim is now being held captive in a cage indefinitely.

Earlier today CDEF Director Brian Travis filled Jim’s commissary account on the first day of Jim’s transfer from solitary confinement into general population. A commissary is a bank type account for inmate monies and for the procurement of personal items like footwear and hygiene items.

You can stay up to date on Jim’s situation at the NH Underground and Free Keene Forums.

CDEF Director Ian Freeman posted the following at FreeKeene.com from details provided by Jim’s wife, Lauren Canario:

Jim has been moved out of segregation after two weeks of being held in a small room for 23 hours per day. Jim is now in “D block” where he is able to interact with other human beings, exercise, as well as access a commissary account. Additionally, you can now visit him any day of the week between 8a-12p, 1-3:30p, and 6-10p.

Ian explains why Jim is being held:

Jim is being held at the whim of robed man John P. Arnold of the Cheshire superior court. Arnold caged Jim because Jim refused to fill out a court form. Arnold calls it “contempt”. There is no date of release for Jim. There is no way that I am aware of to hold “judge” Arnold accountable for his actions.

You can send Jim a letter thanks to Mail-to-Jail.com:

Jim is in jail either for refusing to give government money they demand, or for refusing to tell government about his personal finances. Send Jim a letter by clicking here, or a postcard by clicking here.

Jim refused to pay a fine demanded by government and the judge demanded that Jim fill out paperwork that would reveal his personal finances. Jim refused the paperwork and the judge had him locked in a cage. He is being held “indefinitely:” i.e., until the judge becomes humane, or until Jim submits to their demands to fill out their paperwork revealing his personal finances.

Here is the Free Keene video showing Jim’s “contempt of court.” With the definition of justice being perverted by men in robes like Arnold, who wouldn’t have contempt?
