Tom Pagett arrested at airport in Providence RI while waiting for his son to arrive per court ordered visitation

He was arrested last night at the Providence, RI airport where he was supposed to meet his son for visitation! I don't have alot of details yet except that he was arrested by a swarm of cops and then was taken to Warwick RI jail. They were supposed to have sent him to a prison called ACI in RI last night about midnight, but no record of him being there yet. He must stay there until tuesday when there will be a hearing but NO bail. I spoke briefly to him last night and he is ok but extremely frustrated! Until he calls me again, I do not have more info. Here are phone #'s

ACI 401-462-2285 or 2287

I believe this for a 'failure to appear' charge against Mr Pagett in Madison Kentucky , about a matter that was overturned on appeal, but is being used by his ex-scientology-wife to destroy him and his relationship with his son.

Mr. Pagett is not a threat to anyone except a certain cult which spares no expense to destroy any and all who dare oppose it. Mr. Pagett's own lengthy story is webbed on his own web page here:

Ferengi + Borg = Scientology I'd prefer to die speaking my mind than live fearing to speak. The only thing that always works in scientology are its lawyers The internet is the liberty tree of the new millennium Secrets are the mortar binding lies as bricks together into prisons for the mind http://www.lermanet.com/grifters.htm - mentioned 4 January 2000 in The Washington Post's - 'Reliable Source' column re "Scientologist with no HEAD" You want Bigots? http://members.cox.net/bwarr2/Movie2.html

Greetings, ...

Last week an individual by the name of Tom Padgett was arrested by local police within your state on charges that were FAXed to the local police by leaders of the notorious Scientology organization. Mr. Padgett had arrived at the Providence airport for scheduled visitation with his son when police arrested him on claims that he was wanted in the state of Kentucky -- which was false.

At issue has been Mr. Padgett's public exposures of the child abuse crimes which are rampant within the Scientology organization. His ex- wife -- a Scientologist -- was ordered to "disconnect," as Scientology calls it, from Mr. Padgett when Padgett's public discussions of past instances of Scientology child abuse couldn't be halted through threats and intimidation. Indeed, Mr. Padgett had put up a web site covering the abuse at http://www.taxexemptchildabuse.net/

Newspaper investigation and reporting of the incident of Mr. Padgett's arrest would very likely result in Scientology launching their notorious "Fair Game" racketeering activities against your office staff however I have some hopes that your offices will consider the newsworthiness of interviewing Mr. Padgett and reporting on what happened regardless of the retaliation and retributive actions Scientology is likely to conduct against your staff.

The telephone number for the facility where Mr. Padgett was taken is 401-462-2285. The FAX number for the facility is 401-462-5170. He's being held at the Adult Correctional Institutions facility at 40 Howard Avenue, Cranston, RI. 02920. He is apparently being held in cell number 121797. The Director who would approve reporter interviews is Mr. Al Bucci at 401-462-2261.

If your staff considers investigating the incident, I would hope that your offices also research Scientology's background on a written policy Scientology calls "Fair Game" first so that your staff will be aware of what Scientology will do to your people if you do in fact decide to publish a report on the incident.

Thank you for your time.

The following telephone number is for Mr. Al Bucci who is the Director within the Rhode Island Adult Correctional facility.

His office is the one that is responsible for describing and apparently allowing for the interview of new prisoners by local newspapers and I have hopes that someone can telephone the Director, find out what the reporter requirements are, and then write to Providence Journal at pjnews@projo.com and to the Brown Daily Herald at news@browndailyherald.com offering the information -- and background into the Padgett racketeering case -- so that they (the reporters) can feel confident in knowing how the system works before going in.

People may not telephone Mr. Padgett however Mr. Padgett may make telephone calls to people if their numbers are on a list which Mr. Padgett must provide. Mr. Padgett would also have to make the telephone call collect and it may not be to a cell telephone. Getting telephone numbers _to_ Mr. Padgett so that he can know who to telephone is problematic -- someone from a.r.s who's in the area would have to collect people's numbers and then give them to Mr. Padgett directly along with date and time for contact.

Also the facility investigates the telephone numbers of the people on the telephone list and the facility records all of the telephone conversations not only to and from prisoners but of staff as well. I doubt that Scientology could racketeer the phone records out of the facility but one never knows.

Is the telephone number for Mr. Al Bucci who is the Director within the Rhode Island Adult Correctional facility. His office is the one that is responsible for describing and apparently allowing for the interview of new prisoners by local newspapers. I hope that someone can telephone him and find out what the reporter requirements are, and then write to Providence Journal at pjnews@projo.com and to the Brown

Daily Herald at news@browndailyherald.com offering the information and background (a vicious ex wife using scientology harassment methods) in the Padgett case so that the reporters know how the system works before trying to get in.

Just like when I was jailed in Toronto, people may not telephone Tom, however Tom may make telephone calls to people if their numbers are on a list he provides (worse than Toronto). The telephone calls have to be collect and may not be to a cell phone. Getting telephone numbers *to* Tom so that he can know who to telephone is a problem, someone from a.r.s who's in the area would have to collect people's numbers and then give them to Tom directly along with times good to call.

Collect prison calls are expensive, but they are a sanity saving boon to talk to people outside of the madhouse. (A substantial fraction of the people in jails are mentally disturbed.)

Also I am told that the facility investigates the telephone numbers of the people on the telephone list and the facility records all of the telephone conversations not only to and from prisoners but of staff as well. I don't doubt that Scientology could racketeer the phone records since as I recall is it a scientology company that has a good part of the market for prison phones.

However, the subjects people would talk about with Tom are unlikely to be introduced in any court.
