FRANK VALDES
October 28, 1962 - July 17, 1999 CLICK THE BUTTON ON THE LEFT TO READ NEWS REPORTS ABOUT THE ARREST
AND PROSECUTION OF THE PRISON GUARDS WHO MURDERED
I WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO SEE THIS AS MY TRIBUTE TO MY HUSBAND, WHO SUFFERED
BEATINGS AND ABUSE AT THE FLORIDA STATE PRISON FOR YEARS BEFORE THEY
MURDERED HIM. HE ENDURED AS A TRUE WARRIOR OF GOD THE PHYSICAL TORTURE AS
WELL AS THE MENTAL TORTURE OF BEING ISOLATED FOR YEARS AT A TIME.
THE DEATH OF FRANK VALDES
Nobody should die like Frank did. Witnesses heard him moan like a
wounded animal. They could tell, with his last breaths, that his lungs
had collapsed. One prisoner, looking out from the bottom of his door,
saw an unidentified object. He realized after staring at it that it was
Frank's bloody head. After he was dead, they tried to clean him and up
and put him on a food cart. At about 10.00 a.m., the guards passed the
visiting park on the way to the medical area. Prisoners and visitors saw
a corpse with his eyes rolled back. The Medical Dept. said that he
didn't need medical care.
Two prisoners, one after the other, spent a day removing the blood from
Frank's cell with Clorox.
Frank was a good candidate for what had taken place. He was poor,
Latino, abused, and unwanted. His mother had tried to abort him and his
father had little to do with him. By the time he was 15, Frank was in a
youth facility. By 16, he was diagnosed as schizophrenic.
Frank was a lonely person, but he had a good heart. He could be a loyal
friend even though he heard voices.
In 1987, he was released from a halfway house in Miami where he met his
friend Billy. When they left the house, Frank was free and Billy was on
life probation. Billy asked Frank to help him free a friend who would be
traveling in a van with 2 guards from a nearby prison on the way to a
cancer doctor in West Palm Beach. Frank admired Billy and agreed to help
him. The two were strung out on booze and cocaine when the van appeared.
According to the newspaper, they were in the parking lot of the doctor's
office. One of the guards came out with the keys, pretending to open the
back door. The other guard ran away. Instead of opening the door, the
guard threw the keys in the bushes. Billy became enraged. The guard was
shot three times and died. Both Billy and Frank were found guilty and
sentenced to death.
Both men were arrested. Frank was offered a plea deal for 25 years, but
he refused to testify against Billy. While he was in the county jail in
West Palm Beach, awaiting sentence, guards from Florida State Prison
sent him a message that they would beat him and put him on X-wing.
When the media went into F.S.P. to see Frank's cell, they saw another
one. The prison didn't want the media to see where Frank died.
The day before Frank's death, he spent the whole day screaming for help
for the prisoners from the Hamilton, C.I. Seven Black prisoners who were
accused of leading a riot at Hamilton, C. I., were brought to FSP. The
prisoners were severely beaten. One prisoner, Willie Mathews, who was
falsely accused of shoving a pregnant guard in the riot, was put into a
burlap bag and beaten. Guards put a rope around his neck and beat him.
They put the prisoners from Hamilton in dunce caps and photographed
them. They had Willie walk down the steps in his dunce cap and
threatened to beat him if the hat fell off. When it did, they broke his
jaw. Guards used baseball bats and batons to beat the prisoners. The
guards refused medical aid for the victims. Willie was writhing in pain
from his broken jaw. Frank was screaming for help. A sergeant passed and
asked Willie what was going on. And threatening to call the media.
"These guys are hurt," he yelled.
A guard named Montez Lucas was working on the tier that day. He said to
Frank, "Shut up or I'll get your ass." Frank kept yelling for help for
the guys from Hamilton. Lucas went to the phone and called the sergeant
for help. He lied that Frank had threatened to kill him. Lucas opened
Frank's door and cuffed him. He entered the cell with a guard named
Griffith.
At a subsequent trial against Lucas by the state, Griffith testified
that after cuffing Frank, Lucas hit him in the face. Frank didn't move
so he kept hitting him until he collapsed on his bed/slab. Later, after
he died, guards tried to say that he killed himself by constantly
jumping off his bed. The slab is attached to the floor. Griffith
testified that with the last punch he heard Frank's jaw crack. He was
eventually found not guilty because "it couldn't be proved exactly when
the jaw was broken" (if you can believe this logic!)
A prisoner witness testified that he heard Lucas say to Griffith, "Okay,
his number is up. We'll get him in the morning." The jury at Lucas'
trial asked Griffith what Lucas had meant by that. He said that it meant
"We'll kill him. "
Very early the next morning, the guards killed Frank. The witnesses were
sent to other prisons, including prisons in California, Virginia, and
Florida.
The state would like to keep the trial of the guards in this inbred
town, home of 9 prisons. The guards do not want their reports of Frank's
death to be used as evidence. They had taken their photos of the
prisoners from Hamilton in dunce caps home, along with their log of
Frank's murder. An inspector general had to go to their homes to
retrieve the evidence.
Willie Mathews was eventually taken to Shands Hospital where they
replaced his jaw with a steel plate. He is at Charlotte C.I. trying to
get follow up treatment ordered by Shands without any luck.
Wanda Valdes, Frank's widow, was asked how much she wanted to settle the
case. She wants a trial so what happened to Frank will not happen to
anyone else.
If there is any purpose to the life of Frank Valdes, who, at 36 years
old, was beaten to death by guards, it is that the guards who murdered
him be found guilty and prison conditions at F. S. P. and everywhere be
changed.
The state cannot keep making believe that cruelty, brutality, and sadism
can continue under the guise of "justice."
There is no way that there can be a fair trial in Bradford County, the
home of 9 prisons. Every person in the county is directly or indirectly
employed by the DOC. A few nonaligned souls would be intimidated by
guards to make a decision in Frank's behalf.
Was there a purpose to the life of Frank Valdes? He will not have died
in vain if the guards who murdered him are found guilty and conditions
at Florida State Prison and all prisons change drastically.
Demand that the trial be moved out of Starke.

X-wing must also be closed. Being there is cruel and unusual treatment.
It is sensory deprivation. The cells consist of steel rooms without a
window. There is no way to look out except through an opening at the

LETTER TO FL PRUP COORDINATOR AND PRISON ACTIVIST KAY LEE, FROM A
STARKE, FL PRISONER WHOSE NAME IS WITHHELD TO PROTECT HIM FROM RETALIATION

Sobbing ex-guard testifies about abuse
STARKE - A sobbing former prison guard testified in a videotape deposition that guards punched and kicked a Death Row inmate as they removed him from his cell and then later lied in their reports.
The videotape of Raymon Hanson was included in five boxes of evidence made public Thursday in the case of four former guards charged with second-degree murder in the stomping death of inmate Frank Valdes on July 17, 1999. Hanson is scheduled to testify as early as next week.
Capt. Timothy Thornton, 36, Sgt. Jason Griffis, 28, Sgt. Charles Brown, 28, and Sgt. Andrew Lewis, 31, are charged with second-degree murder for Valdes' death. Three other guards will stand trial later this year on the same charges.
Hanson, who has been granted immunity from prosecution for his testimony, said officers planned to beat Valdes when they went to remove him from his cell.
"We are going down there to teach him that he can't be threatening officers," Hanson said in the Jan. 22, 2000, videotape. "Some physical punishment was going to have to be inflicted upon him."
"If I knew he was going to die, I would have never - I would never have done that," Hanson said, sobbing out his words.
After they subdued a noncombative Valdes in his cell, Hanson said, the five-person extraction team repeatedly kicked and punched the prisoner.
Hanson also said Thornton slapped Valdes across the face and placed an electronic stun gun on his forehead.
"It was wrong," Hanson said.
Valdes was thrown on a red garbage cart and wheeled down a quarter-mile corridor to the clinic, where officers had to help him walk in to be examined.
One of the guards punched Valdes in the stomach while at the clinic, Hanson said.
After Valdes was examined at the clinic, he was placed in a wheelchair and taken back to a different cell on X-wing.
"I didn't want Valdes beaten any more, so I accompanied him down the hallway," Hanson said. "I wish I had been a bigger man when he was in his cell."
The guards involved in the cell extraction gathered and began preparing their report so the injuries on Valdes' medical report could be justified, Hanson said.
"I went along with the cover-up story," said Hanson, who added that all the reports submitted by the guards were false.

CLICK HERE TO READ A DETAILED ACCOUNT OF THE MURDER OF FRANK VALDEZ
FRANK VALDES.
I REMEMBER WHEN I SPOKE TO FRANK FROM JAIL BEFORE HE WENT TO FSP
AND HE TOLD ME THAT THE GUARDS HAD SENT A MESSAGE TO HIM THAT THEY WOULD
BEAT HIM WHEN HE ARRIVED AT THE PRISON, AND HE WOULD BE PUT ON X WING,
JUST BECAUSE OF WHO DIED IN HIS CASE. X WING MEANS NO CONTACT WITH OTHERS.
THAT IS WHERE HE WAS WHEN HE WAS MURDERED.
FOR THE FIRST TWO YEARS
FRANK GOT NO BAD CONDUCT REPORTS, BUT THEY WORKED ON HIM AND SLOWLY BROKE
HIM DOWN. HE WENT FROM PRAYING TOGETHER TO BEING MORE AND MORE HOSTILE,
UNTIL THEY MURDERED HIM.
FROM THE DAY FRANKIE ENTERED THE PRISON
THEY DID ALL THEY COULD TO DESTROY HIM EMOTIONALLY, MENTALLY AND
SPIRITUALLY. THEY CREATED WHAT HE TURNED OUT TO BE. THEY ISOLATED HIM AND
THEY GOT RID OF ALL THAT WAS DEAR TO HIM. THEN LIKE A WOLFPACK, A GANG OF
GUARDS WENT INTO HIS CELL AND KILLED HIM. NOT BECAUSE HE WAS BEING
PREJUDICED BUT HE WAS DEMANDING MEDICAL HELP FOR FELLOW INMATES WHO HAD
BEEN BEATEN BY THE GUARDS. THEY STOLE FRANKIE'S LIFE FOR DOING THE RIGHT
THING.
HE HAD A HEART FULL OF LOVE. HE WAS ALWAYS WANTING TO HELP
THOSE WHOM HE FELT COULD NOT HELP THEMSELVES. THE PRISON WANTS TO CREATE
AN IMAGE OF A VIOLENT INMATE WHO WAS THREATENING GUARDS, AND WAS HOSTILE.
HE WAS SCREAMING FOR MEDICAL HELP FOR SOME INMATES WHO WERE BEING ABUSED
ON THE WING HE WAS ON. FOR TWO WEEKS ONE THEM, WILLIE MATTHEWS HAD A
BROKEN JAW CAUSED BY REPEATED BEATINGS, AND HE WAS IN HORRIBLE PAIN 24
HOURS A DAY. WHEN FRANK DEMANDED THEY GET MEDICAL CARE FOR WILLIE THEY
TOLD HIM TO SHUT UP OR HE WOULD GET THE SAME, AND WHEN HE WOULD NOT SHUT
UP THEY WENT IN AND BEAT HIM. THEN THE NEXT DAY THEY WENT INTO HIS CELL
AND BEAT HIM UNTIL HE WAS DEAD.
HIS JAW, ARMS, LEGS, AND BACK WERE
ALL BROKEN, ALL OF HIS RIBS WERE BROKEN. FOUR GUARDS CLAIM HE REPEATEDLY
THREW HIMSELF OFF HIS BUNK. HE HAD NO BUNK ON X WING, HE HAD A CEMENT BED.
HIS WAS A PLANNED, PREMEDITATED MURDER!
I FOUND OUT FRANK
DIED WHEN MY GIRLFRIEND BROUGHT THE NEWSPAPER TO ME. I HAD JUST MOVED, AND
MY TELEPHONE WAS NOT ON YET. AS I READ THE PAPER, I FELT LIKE MY BLOOD
DRAINED FROM MY BODY. MY HEART SANK, AND PART OF MY SPIRIT DIED.
I
IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE PRISON. ALL THEY SAID WAS THEY FOUND HIM DEAD IN
HIS CELL; THAT HE HAD A HEART ATTACK. I WAS SO IN SHOCK, I JUST FELT LIKE
THE EARTH HAD DROPPED OUT FROM UNDER ME AND I HAD WALKED INTO HELL. ALL
THE YEARS OF FIGHTING WITH THE DOC WELLED UP IN MY SOUL.
MY HEART
IS BROKEN. THEY TOOK NINE MEN WITH STUN GUNS, SHIELDS, AND PEPPER GAS INTO
HIS CELL AND THEY TOOK TURNS BEATING AND STOMPING HIM TO DEATH. THEY DID
NOT JUST MURDER FRANK - THEY MURDERED ME. THIS SOUNDS ODD, BUT WHEN YOU
REALLY LOVE THE WAY I LOVED FRANK, YOUR HEART SCREAMS FOR JUSTICE.
I DO NOT WANT THESE GUARDS TO DIE. I JUST WANT THEM TO PAY FOR
WHAT THEY DID. I DO WANT JUSTICE AND I WANT THESE ABUSIVE MEN TO NEVER
WORK IN CRIMINAL JUSTICE OR PRISONS EVER AGAIN. I WANT THEM TO SPEND TIME
ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE BARS - THE SIDE THEY BELONG ON.
GOD SAYS
"THOU SHALL NOT KILL". THESE MEN WILL ONE DAY ANSWER TO A HIGHER POWER.
I CAN DO NOTHING LESS THAN DO MY BEST TO SEE THAT FRANKIE RECEIVES
THE JUSTICE THAT HE DESERVES AND THAT THE MEN WHO MURDERED HIM WILL ANSWER
FOR WHAT THEY HAVE DONE. WHATEVER THESE CORRECTIONAL OFFICERS SAY TO TRY
TO JUSTIFY THE FACT THAT THEY MURDERED HIM IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH.
I
LOVED FRANKIE WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. HE TOUCHED MY SOUL IN A
BEAUTIFUL WAY. OUR SPIRTS BECAME ONE AND SINCE HE DIED I FEEL THAT A PART
OF ME HAS DIED. NO ONE DESERVES TO BE MURDERED BY ANYONE, FOR ANY REASON.
PRISONERS ARE BEATEN AND ABUSED ON A DAILY BASIS AND MOST OF THEM
ARE RELEASED BACK INTO SOCIETY. THEY ARE ANGRY, AND THE WREAK HAVOC ON OUR
SOCIETY. UNTIL WE BECOME INTERESTED IN REHABILITATION AND STOP THE ABUSE
AND MURDER OUR SOCIETY WILL PAY A PRICE. EVERY ACTION WE TAKE REAPS A
REACTION.
PEOPLE DO NOT CARE UNTIL SOMEONE IN THEIR FAMILY DIES.
THESE MEN ABUSED AND MURDERED FRANK. HOW MANY OTHER MEN HAVE HAD TO SUFFER
THEIR ABUSE AND EVEN DEATH? PRISONERS ARE HUMAN BEINGS. THEY HURT AND
BLEED AND CRY.
FRANKIE WAS ON DEATH ROW, BUT HE WAS NEVER PROVEN
TO HAVE BEEN THE KILLER IN HIS CASE. HE HAD BEEN OFFERED A PLEA DEAL TO
TESTIFY AGAINST HIS CO-DEFENDANT. HE REFUSED, SO THEY GAVE HIM DEATH. BUT
THE GUARDS TOOK IT UPON THEMSELVES TO TORTURE AND MURDER HIM. THIS IS NOT
JUSTICE.
I WISH EVERYONE WOULD WRITE TO THE GOVERNOR AND ASK HIM
TO MAKE SURE STATE ATTORNEY ROD SMITH IN GAINESVILLE FLO, ASKS THAT THIS
MURDER TRIAL BE MOVED TO A PLACE WHERE WE CAN GET A FAIR TRIAL. YOU JUST
CAN'T GET A FAIR TRIAL HERE, IN A VERY SMALL TOWN WHICH HAS 9 PRISONS AND
THIS IS THE MAIN WORK SOURCE.
THESE GUARDS ARE KILLERS. THEY ARE
NO DIFFERENT THAN ANY MAN ON DEATH ROW. THE DAY THEY MURDERED MY HUSBAND
THEY CREATED MANY VICTIMS. FRANKIE, MYSELF, THEIR OWN FAMILIES. THEY MADE
A CONSCIOUS DECISION TO GO INTO HIS CELL AND BEAT HIM UNTIL HE WAS DEAD
THEN THEY PUT HIS BODY ON A TRASH CART AND TOOK HIM TO THE FRONT OF WILLIE
MATTHEWS CELL AND TOLD HIM HE WAS NEXT.
THIS SITE WILL TELL
FRANKIE'S STORY, TOLD IN HIS MEMORY, SO THE WORLD WILL REMEMBER HIM AND
NOT LET WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM AND THOSE WHO LOVE HIM HAPPEN TO ANYONE ELSE.
I LOVE YOU, FRANKIE FOREVER AND EVER. YOU DID NOT DIE IN VAIN. I
WILL WORK TO MAKE THINGS BETTER INSIDE PRISONS, IN YOUR NAME.
WANDA VALDES
by Carol Strick
Early in the morning of July 17, 1999, nine guards at Florida State
Prison in Starke, Florida, entered the cell of Frank Valdes. Trying to
justify their behavior, they were screaming, "Where's the knife?"
Armed with stun-guns, pepper, mace, and shields, they took turns beating
him and stomping on his body with their boots, crushing every bone in
his body and destroying every organ.
A month before, guards had tried to hang Frank in the bathroom with a
sheet. People had called the prison and called the D.O.C. in Tallahassee
to say that Frank's life was in danger. Nobody paid any attention.

Love isn’t what it’s made to appear.
Wandering souls they
are
Who believe that a moment’s pleasure
Between two virtual
strangers
Can even approach
The sanctity and shiny brilliance
Which emanates from
That which has gone through the fire.
It’s sharing the tears and heartaches
When logic tells you
that they will never end
Being only inches away, yet worlds apart
Hoping in Jesus and patiently waiting
For His long-awaited reply.
Two wounded hearts
Two lonely souls whom all have forsaken
Not seeking a return; but for a chance to give
And being awed by
the blessing received;
Love/Amour
It simply can’t be contained
In the confines of just one word.
Joy
ALIVE AND REMEMBERED
1996
Words, empty words. That’s what they were to me.
The voices
of ancient men, droning on about it;
The Love that should exist
within.
What is Love? Who really cares? And of tomorrow.
Is it
even worth living at all?
These were my sickness, these questions of
mine;
For even when I least expected Love was mine to find.
Dead and buried I was, merely existing on this plane;
It was
not living at all; it was nothing but pain.
I looked. I searched,
trying to find purpose and hope.
In the words passed down through the
ages...
Spoken y a Man whose name is Emmanuel.
They sounded
worth heeding, of applying to my life.
But because all I only saw
around me was indifference
That people exude ... and strife.
His
words seemed a precious medal, that none esteemed.
Or soft music, a
gentle melody, to which none cared...
To dance.
But Jesus, the
ancient Emmanuel, showed mercy on me.
He gave to me, the DEAD AND
FORGOTTEN
A wife, whose only interest is in giving, and not taking.
This woman, my WIFE, she esteems herself small.
Not hardly
worth taking notice of.
Barren, used up, she claims herself to be;
Yet our children are all around us and growing
Unbeknownst to her.
There names have deep meaning.
They have refreshed my inner man.
Their names are Patience, Longsuffering, and Love...
When I
last expected, as I said before,
Emmanuel the Ancient was knocking at
my door;
And even when I no longer thought it possible ...
Love,
True Love was mine to find.
Our Love will last forever in Jesus:
Eternally yours: I’ll love you always.
Your husband ... Frankie

Mrs. Lee
A friend of mine (CP) suggested
that I write to you with some information that could possibly be very
valuable to someone who is interested in surfacing corruption from the FL
DOC.
I'm sure you are aware of the x-wing murder of Frank Valdes
at Florida State Prison. Well, I may have information concerning an
informant/state witness in the case that is being paid to tell a story
leaning more toward the state than Valdes, with everything from an
"untouchable card", special transfers, and any luxury possible while in
Close Management.
I would hate to say such a thing about someone
if it weren't true, but this guy has a lot of things that have added up,
pointing to that direction. There's something to it about him. I've been
around quite awhile, and have come to believe when you hear the same thing
so many times from prisoners and officers alike, there's got to be
something to it.
This guy was right next door to Valdes on x-wing,
then just appeared at Baker CI right afterwards. I just left Baker CI.
Ever since the beginning, he's had the red carpet rolled out, surely not
because he's such a likable guy. He's a reptile.
Anyhow, I thought
someone you know could maybe investigate what the deal is with this guy.
If it does present to be as I suspect, it would be really helpful to the
prosecutor for the family of Valdes to get justice for their loved one's
murder.
I wouldn't know exactly how to go about finding out for
sure if he is a state witness unless it is public information as to who is
scheduled to testify for the guards who killed Valdes. Or if special
favors coming from another branch of the FL DOC, in exchange for a helpful
testimony is against any law. I thought it may be worth a try to put some
heat on what they're doing, because they know it ain't right, and know
they killed that prisoner, and are just trying to do anything to keep them
from looking like the overbearing and sadomasochistic bastards they are to
people in prison.
I've got a whole long list of incidents of
special treatment this guy has had when you want it.
Just an
example is: He's had five DRs in the year he's been at Baker and not one
has stuck. Officers hand deliver him tobacco products. He goes up for
reviews in less time than everybody else. He's the only guy I know of that
gets a thumbs up before going into DR court from the colonel. Something's
up...
Anyhow, the guys name is Alvin Gainey #040754. Let me know
if you want to pursue this venture, and an idea of what information you
would need from me. I'd like to try and keep them from winning again when
they've finally got a case against them.
