“Jerry Sandusky: Like Father, Like Son,” by Shakaboona.
The Sandusky name is back in the news again for allegedly corrupting the morals of minors, except this time, the news is not the sins of the father, former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky who was convicted of multiple crimes against children in 2013, but it’s the sins of the son, Jeffrey Sandusky.
Monday, Pennsylvania police announced Jerry Sandusky’s son had been accused of child abuse hauntingly similar to that by his father. Court records show that Jeffrey Sandusky is charged with 14 counts including criminal solicitation and corruption of minors. The records stated that the two victims were minors with whom Sandusky had daily contact and that he is accused of asking one girl to send him nude photos via text message and another to perform oral sex on him.
Did I mention Jeffrey Sandusky is a prison guard at the State Correctional Institution, Rockview and state college, home of Penn State University? Yes, he is. And due to the serious nature of his crime, Jeffrey Sandusky has been suspended by the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections. Jeffrey Sandusky’s charges comes as no surprise to prisoners at SCI Rockview. Some prisoners report that Jeffrey Sandusky was a bit off-kilter while other state how he was a miserable hard-behind that gave them disciplinary reports for receiving an extra slice of bread or a cup of milk on their middle trays. Jeffrey Sandusky’s fellow guards state how weird he was and have distanced themselves from knowing him by placing his arresting mugshot on their wall of shame for prison guards who have committed criminal acts.
I had my personal experience with Jeffrey Sandusky at SCI Rockview as well. I asked Jeffrey Sandusky was he of any relation to Jerry Sandusky, and he answered that he was not. However, my suspicions proved true. Lo and behold, Jeffrey Sandusky is the son of convicted child rapist Jerry Sandusky. Sadly to say, but like father, like son.

![Prison Radio is sharing an abbreviated version of a press release covering recent racist incidents at SCI Rockview in PA and the organizing to demand accountability. We are reaching out to people incarcerated at Rockview as well as recently transferred folks, inviting them to call, in hopes of hearing commentaries from them.
Benner Township, PA.-
On November 24th, 2023, imprisoned people at SCI Rockview found two nooses hanging in the CO’s office, displayed visibly for many prisoners to see. When the prisoners asked the staff why the nooses were hung, they were told it was a joke.
By December 4th, prisoners filed a grievance to document what they saw, noting that the hanging of the nooses was “unethical, racially motivated, hateful, [a] deliberate debasement of black inmates" and “unsafe for inmates, staff, [and] the whole prison in general.” In the grievance, they demanded that Sgt. Mosser and CO Richard be fired and investigated for a hate crime, and for CO Kirchner to get therapy. Captain Andrews, the head of security, denied the grievance.
The sergeant and COs are still working in the prison to this day, with no repercussions...
As of March 10th, prisoners have reached out to Pennsylvania officials at the Dept. of Corrections in a letter campaign, sending 100 copies of the grievance. Copies of the letter also were mailed to Governor Shapiro, Senator Fetterman, Senator Street, and various advocacy groups. The demands for relief in the original grievance have now become the platform of demands for this campaign. About 20 of the 100 letters were withheld by the prison.
Activists on the outside are joining forces with prisoners to elevate their demands, flooding the phone lines of DOC offices, assisting with outreach to media, and circulating the stories of prisoners who have found unity in opposition to the facility's virulent institutional racism.
In any other workplace, hanging a noose would be grounds for immediate termination. However, Nicki Paul, the superintendent's assistant and "grievance coordinator" informed the public that they self-investigated their staff and found they did nothing wrong.
