Women whose husbands were serving time with "Big John" Jackson started to hear things and worry. John's wife Kesha was already worried because she knew John had suffered from blood clots in his leg and now was in the hole, so she had no way to communicate with him.
One of the wives finally reached Kesha. She told her that some of the guys were in the visiting room and saw a man being taken out on gurney. They said it was Big John. Kesha spent the rest of the night frantically calling the prison. No one took her call or gave her information.
Another wife called her and said she heard that John had been banging on his door and asking the guards for help. Kesha couldn't sleep. In the early morning, she kept checking BOP's inmate locator to see if Big John's location had changed. Maybe he'd been moved.
Instead, the BOP site was updated and John's status was listed as "Deceased."
All of our families grieved with Kesha. We hoped she would get answers. She hasn't.
Kesha shared her story to push for independent prison oversight - at BOP and in every state.
