The former IRS agent Sherry Peel Jackson has been thrown in prison and left to die from lack of nutrition and medical care.

She is being punished by the IRS (the Federal Reserve Bank's collection agency) for not paying personal income taxes after she found out there was no law requiring her to do so. 

She is a personal friend of Ron Paul's and spoke out against the IRS in Aaron Russo's film - Freedom to Fascism. 

She is innocent. She hasn't broken any law.
