Meet Joe Francis

Joe Francis is your average America man.

He's a young man of middle class origins that happened to strike it rich in his early twenties.

He lived the life of every mans fantasy. Parting with the rich and famous. Private jets...Yup Joe Francis was a lucky man..."WAS" is the proper word.

He still happens to be the ruler of a huge empire. The "empire" is also the reason he has been a political prisoner for the last nine months of his life.

Joe's release sure isn't in his near future!

Is Joe in a foreign prison, being held hostage for money? MMMM...No. Joe is in a county jail in Nevada. Can't he afford a bail? Yes he can, he's a multi-millionaire, maybe a billionaire! So why is Joe in jail?... Joe Francis is in jail for a misdemeanor charge of missing a civil court date...He's been in jail for nine months . He can't post a bail. A county judge and prosecutor has seen to it that he'll never post a bail, and these men of the court aren't even in the state of Nevada, they're in Florida! Why have these men of great deeds done that to a multi-millionaire? Maybe I should tell ya a little more about Joe?

Joe is the creator and producer of "Girls Gone Wild".

A few years ago Joe Francis went to a spring break in the Panhandle of Florida. He, his crew and his cameras were there to get young women to expose them selves on his seamy video series. (I should also tell you, I'm not a big Joe Francis fan. I think he's a bit of a scum bag.) But, in America your free to make your living anyway you want. as long as you pay your taxes and don't break the law.

The Florida city that is the curse to Joe Francis is Panama City Florida. He was warned never to bring his cameras to the city 5 years ago. He defied the city founding fathers and went to Panama City anyway. He was put in jail the same day as he hit the beach. He became a victim of a civil rights abuse. He was put in jail and not charged. He also was physically and mentally abused in that jail. Joe filed a civil rights violation suit and won. His real downfall came when two women came forward to file a civil charge that he videoed and sold DVDs of them showing their breasts, with consent and ID. The problem was they lied, they were under the age of consent. Joe refused to settle a suit with them, so a Panama City judge threw him in jail. Joe had some medicine on him when he complied with the arrest order. That mistake in Florida could get you life in prison. In that Florida jail Joe Francis was again denied his civil rights and not given a bail hearing. He stayed in jail for over ninety days until the federal government came in and took Joe Francis to Nevada, on a minor tax charge. So there he stays in a Nevada jail for over seven months. No bail again, but now at his request , because if he does become released in Nevada he will instantly be rearrested and sent back to Florida. Joe Francis knows what will happen to him in that Florida jail. Joe will never make it out'a that place alive. Joe's biggest mistake was call'n the Panama City court "Mickey Mouse" , the lead Judge and it's lead prosecutor "corrupt". Well they are, he's already proved that in his civil case. Now they're striking back.

The freedom of expression is gone in North America. The right wing bible thumpers of the world are pissn' me off to no end! They're stepping on every civil right that was given to us. Joe Francis isn't the nicest guy in the world or even a very sympathetic person, by any means. He's a pornographer. A kind'a creepy pornographer who leads young women to believe they could be noticed in the entertainment business if they just expose themselves. He pries on the meek, innocent, drunk, young women, in a party mood. Hey I've done that, so has every young man, but not for profit, and greed. I don't like Joe Francis, but I believe he has a right to a fair and unbiased trial. Not to be sent to a jail, to rot and not charged. Isn't that is why we went to war in the past? To fight dictatorships with unfair laws and zero civil rights.
