How and Why I Sent $50.00 to Honest Gabe Whitley, HE's Editor in Chief, Who's Been Jailed in Illinois Thompson Federal Prison and You Should, Too.

Founder Jailed Against Terms and Representations Used to Induce a Change of Plea.

Gabe Whitley ran for U.S. Congress. So did I and afterwards and ever since I have been under attack. Why does this occur? He signed his name to a filed FEC record, "a piece of paper," that was erred. It contained errors. It was the work product of a volunteer campaign counsultant. Get the picture. Run for Congress and get set up. Be forced into bankruptcy. Or like me have your law license taken without a fair process, no due process, no witness and on obstruction of justice by the government.

Gabe Whitley is serving a federal prison term and I am asking that you join me in sending him money. Gabe is the founder and managing editor of The Hoosier Enquirer.

In the United States, more than 90 percent of federal criminal cases end not with a trial, but with a plea bargain. Behind that statistic is a growing population of incarcerated individuals who faced the overwhelming power of the federal government—armed with virtually unlimited investigative resources, seasoned prosecutors, and the potential for devastatingly long sentences. Gabe could not afford to fight or did he have any accusastions that would disqualify from working at Casino, bank, or any being part of a so-called rehabilitation program giving him access to researches for training and jobs upon his release. He is a good man, a patriot. Honest Gabe is honest and he reputation won't be harmed by lawfare or a set up piece of paper by a consultant, which incidently overstated his financial contributions from supports. Bid Effing Deal. Meanwhile, in the same election cycle Kamala Harris paid for endorsements of Oprah and other celebrities, millions of dollars. Which is illegal. Is she in jail? But Gabe is? Please send him a few bucks, today.

A democrat murder in jail raised millions of dollars of support for shooting insurance exective in cold blood. We can do right by Honest Gabe, who honestly took the plea that was to include no jail time. Another federal government lie in a one-sided system of selective justice where treasonous people rob us, murder even, with immunity.

For the families and friends of these inmates, understanding how to provide financial and emotional support can be critical, not only to their survival in the system but also to their long-term rehabilitation and dignity.

Sending money to someone in federal custody is a relatively straightforward process. The Federal Bureau of Prisons authorizes several methods for financial support, including Western Union and MoneyGram. Of these, MoneyGram remains the most commonly used and widely accessible for online transfers. Supporters can use the MoneyGram website to send funds directly to an inmate’s trust account, which allows the incarcerated person to purchase food, hygiene products, make phone calls, or send emails.

Before any money can be sent, however, the sender must have the inmate’s Bureau of Prisons register number. This identification number, along with the person’s full committed name, is necessary to ensure the funds are correctly routed. The register number can be found on the Bureau of Prisons’ official inmate locator website at www.bop.gov/inmateloc.

Though it may seem like a small gesture, sending money to someone in prison can have a profound impact. Inmates in federal custody often earn less than one dollar per hour for prison labor, making outside financial support essential for even basic needs. Commissary items such as shampoo, over-the-counter medications, extra food, and phone time can quickly exhaust a person’s limited earnings. For those without family support, this often means going without or relying on the kindness of others inside—a dynamic that can lead to further hardship or exploitation.

The importance of supporting people who accepted plea bargains is even greater. Many of these individuals did not plead guilty because they were unquestionably guilty, but rather because the alternative—going to trial against the federal government—was too risky. A person facing multiple charges, the possibility of life in prison, and a justice system with a 99 percent conviction rate is often forced into a no-win scenario. Even innocent or marginally involved defendants may plead guilty simply to avoid the catastrophic consequences of losing at trial.

These individuals are not statistics. They are sons, daughters, parents, and neighbors. Many are first-time offenders who lacked access to quality legal representation or simply could not withstand the threat of a decades-long sentence. When someone accepts a plea, it is not necessarily a sign of moral guilt. It is often a reflection of legal reality—one that disproportionately punishes the poor and powerless.

Supporting federal inmates, like HE's Gabe Whitley, a journalist and media company entreprenuer, who ran for U.S. Congress only to be forced into taking a fake plea deal as an act of compassion and resistance.

We recognize that our justice system is very flawed and that those who are caught in it are not disposable. By helping individuals, like Gabe, stay connected to the outside world, we affirm their humanity and preserve their hope. Money keeps them safe, too.
