Acoli, an ex-Black Panther, is coming up for parole in early 1993 after 
twenty years of imprisonment. The parole board plans to keep him 
locked up for ten more years<%0>. 
<%-2>Acoli was captured with Assata Shakur in 1973 after a shoot-out 
on the New Jersey Turnpike in which their companion and a State 
Trooper were killed. Acoli was tried, convicted, and sentenced to life 
imprisonment at Trenton State Prison. There he was confined for five 
years in a Management Control Unit (MCU) isolation cell. While there, 
he was exposed to tuberculosis. He was then secretly transferred to the 
infamous federal penitentiary at Marion, IL, and was confined to an 
isolation unit for eight years, although he had no federal charges or 
convictions.<%0>
<%-2>Finally, in 1987, he was transferred to the general population at 
Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary, Kan.
<%-1>Because of his outstanding record, the New Jersey Department of 
Corrections restored all of the good time he had lost while confined in 
Trenton's MCU. This made him immediately eligible for parole. Yet the 
New Jersey Board (who still has jurisdiction over him) plans to hit him 
with ten more years when he comes up for parole.<%0>
For Acoli, already fifty-six years old and infected with tuberculosis, ten 
more years could amount to a death sentence. Write the Parole Board 
today and demand that he be released at his parole hearing.
