My name is Ian Irizarry aka IZZY I just got done doing a 13 year sentence in Washington state. I just got out April 14th. And I looked on-line to see if I can look your son up, and much to my suprize I found out Shawn had passed away. I did not know how until today. I don't have the words for you other than my deepest condolences and sympathy. If there is anything I can do I am at IZMONSTA@yahoo.com. I will always have very fond memories of shawn and I on all of our journeys. I am so sorry this happened to you IAN C IRIZARRY<br />IZZYnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032728144217817166.post-80982607739431477882011-09-17T12:48:28.936-07:002011-09-17T12:48:28.936-07:00I was an inmate on this yard at the time of the mu...I was an inmate on this yard at the time of the murder. I have been housed in those very same isolation cells before. First I have to say if you read the article and havent been to prison some very important lingo's value to article and what really happened never gets fully comprehended. Let's start why both were in an iso cell to begin with. They were given disciplinary infractions for "refusing to house". What this really means is you went to administration and said that you felt like your safety was in danger and you were requesting to leave the yard. The supervisor you talked too said "so what go back to your assigned housing unit or get a ticket for refusing to house". You then decided a disciplinary ticket was better than dying. At least that is what Shannon Palmer thought at the time. So from the very start ADC is negligent and it is no surprise this happened. They are already disciplining you instead of protecting you at the start of this whole process. Now once you are sent to hole for discipline you are considered 5.5 inmate (highest classification score). then essentially you could be housed with anybody because when they get to hole they are 5.5 inmate as well. so essentially in the minds of the idiots who run the prison they are housing 2 5.5 custody inmates together. This happened to me many times while I was fighting for protective segregation. I was in prison for forging $1500 check and was housed with convicted murderers many times, and assaulted many times too. I could write a book about this but I am going to stop here for now. Think about it, Shannon Palmer was in this situation bacause he went to prison officials for help, and instead of helping him they killed him. Make no mistake ADC killed Shannon Palmer, because it was their system that also created the monster Jasper Rushing. I'm going to go for now cause I cant type, but anybody who wants to talk about this get a hold of me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032728144217817166.post-19201126227076744142010-10-05T19:00:07.785-07:002010-10-05T19:00:07.785-07:00This is so tragic.

Heartfelt condolences to Shannon's family. <br /><br />How can we consider our society to be in any way 'civilized,' when a situation like this can happen to any one who lives in it? <br />We have a long way to go.<br /><br />God help us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032728144217817166.post-41168120880206984312010-09-16T18:41:56.855-07:002010-09-16T18:41:56.855-07:00I am one of the"murders" family members....I am one of the"murders" family members. I was there at his birth, through his childhood and up through his young adulthood. He is a struggling mentally ill person fighting to survive as well. He was a beautiful baby with an inquistitive, intellent mind. He grew to be a troubled child with many issues that his family attempted to deal with. As a young adult he seemed like the average boy/man. He was loving and kind through out his first 20 years. I'm not sure to this day what changed...I love Jasper and always will, but I dont know who this man is. I know he's been begging for months to be taken out of general poulation because he just didn't feel safe himself. I am sorry to the family of Shannon, I am horiffied and ashamed...your family is in my prayers along with our family who is at a loss as to where our beautiful boy went...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7032728144217817166.post-67273728506192527302010-09-15T20:55:46.902-07:002010-09-15T20:55:46.902-07:00for the mother ,sister, family,my heart goes out t...for the mother ,sister, family,my heart goes out to you, I am also going through the same situation with my son, this was a wrongful death,that should of never happened<br />I hope we can make a difference,and I pray for your son and your family,<br /> God bless you and your family and your son,<br />sincerely,Elizabeth FelberAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
