Text: Jones Bey alleges that in October 2001, Johnson arbitrarily took away his yard time. He then filed a grievance. In response to the grievance, Johnson allegedly came to Jones Bey’s cell and said, “You like to write grievances, huh? You know me and the counselor are related, I’m going to see if I can have him put some pressure on you to break you up from that habit.” Later, Johnson allegedly shook down Jones Bey’s cell, desecrating several Islamic religious books. Johnson also told Jones Bey that “we don’t like Niggers or Muslims up here.” In December 2001, Jones Bey asserts that Johnson placed handcuffs on him too tightly, which caused the loss of blood circulation. Jones Bey maintains that Johnson then pulled on the handcuffs, causing him to strike the food slot, resulting in pain and swelling to his wrists. He alleges that Johnson then deliberately falsified a misconduct report to cover up the incident. Jones Bey was found not guilty of the misconduct charge. In response, Johnson then said to him “You’re dead! And I’m still going to get your ticket free time!” Johnson then ordered a shakedown of Jones Bey’s cell. Jones Bey also alleges that Johnson later stopped by his cell and said, “Asshole, I’m still going to get your Nigger ass!” Jones Bey attempted to file a grievance against Johnson, but grievance coordinator Trierweiler rejected the grievance because it was unclear. Trierweiler then rejected a second -2- No. 03-2331 Jones Bey v. Johnson grievance because it was already grieved and a third grievance because the issue was not grievable. Jones Bey filed a grievance against Trierweiler, but it was also denied.
