He was initially convicted for his alleged role in an attack authorities claim was carried out by militant black activists on the Fairmont Park Police Station inPhiladelphia that left a park sergeant dead.Despite not having violated prison rules in more than two decades, state prison officials have refused to releasehim into the general prison population. Russell's family and supporters claim that the Pennsylvania Departmentof Corrections (PA DOC) has unlawfully altered the consequences of his criminal conviction, sentencing him todie in solitary confinement ­ a death imposed by decades of no­touch torture.Maroon’s marriage to Ayanna R’auf ushers in a new era into his campaign and Scientific Soul Sessions that ismatriarchal and mother­centric.Scientific Soul Sessions is a multi­generational group united by the drive to pre­figure a new society free of imperialism, colonization,racism, heteropatriarchy, and capitalist exploitation.
