My name is Dr. David Z. Simpson, founder of The Criminal Justice Realm (TCJR). I am raising funds to support Christopher Trenchfield, a Jamaican national who was unlawfully arrested, detained, and held by U.S. authorities for more than two years despite never being convicted of a crime.

Christopher was arrested in March 2023 while legally present in the United States. All state charges were eventually dismissed, and a federal court in Florida ordered his release. Instead of being freed, Christopher was transferred between facilities and subjected to a false narrative that he was mentally ill and dangerous, despite medical professionals later determining he did not meet the criteria for civil commitment. During his detention, Christopher was systematically abused and provoked by prison staff, particularly at FMC Butner, where officers repeatedly taunted, interrogated, and psychologically prodded him on a daily basis in an effort to provoke a reaction that could be used to falsely label him as mentally ill. This was not incidental mistreatment, it was deliberate. Earlier, while held in county custody, Christopher was violently beaten by jail staff, leaving him physically injured, including damage to his hand that still affects him today.

He was subjected to intimidation, retaliation for attempting to report abuse, denial of food, and prolonged neglect, all while authorities attempted to manufacture a narrative to justify continued confinement.

David Simpson and The Remedy Project intervened directly in Christopher’s case, coordinating advocacy, documentation, and international pressure. After sustained efforts and involvement from the Jamaican Consulate, Christopher was released in May 2025 and delivered to consular officials in Miami. However, release did not mean recovery or safety.

Christopher exited custody physically injured and psychologically traumatized. He has suffered ongoing pain, bouts of depression, trauma-related symptoms, and serious medical concerns, including episodes of coughing up blood. Despite these conditions, he is unable to obtain medical or psychological treatment because all of his identification and legal documents were confiscated and never returned by state and federal authorities.

Because Christopher was wrongfully imprisoned for over two years, his visa expired while he was unlawfully detained. He now has no legal status, no government-issued ID, no work authorization, and no way to obtain replacement documents. Without ID, he cannot secure housing, employment, medical care, public assistance, or even basic services. He is effectively locked out of every system meant to help him, through no fault of his own.

Christopher is currently surviving through temporary arrangements and the limited goodwill of others while carrying untreated medical and psychological harm. This is dangerous and unsustainable. He urgently needs long-term stabilization, not just short-term relief.

Funds raised through this campaign will be managed by The Criminal Justice Realm and used to provide safe housing, food, medical and psychological evaluations and care, transportation, document-recovery efforts, and ongoing professional advocacy work. A portion of funds will support TCJR staff and crisis-management services required to manage Christopher’s case, coordinate care, and oversee all distributions responsibly. Funds will be paid directly to service providers to ensure accountability and protection.

Christopher survived years of unlawful confinement and emerged injured, undocumented, and abandoned by a nation's cultural system that harmed him. Your support today helps provide safety, treatment, and stability while justice is pursued.

One-Year Stabilization Plan — $75,000

This fundraiser is structured as a one-year stabilization plan to help Christopher recover from the profound harm our culture inflicted on him, a Jamaican national who was wrongfully detained, abused, and then released without documentation, support, or a path forward. This funding is intended to repair damage, restore dignity, and provide the stability necessary for healing and accountability.

Funds will be used to secure stable housing in a safe city for one year (approximately $1,200 per month, totaling $14,400), provide food and basic living support (approximately $8,000), and cover medical and psychological evaluations and treatment needed to address physical injury, trauma, and untreated conditions resulting from prolonged detention (approximately $10,000). Funds will also support professional assistance, document recovery, and related administrative efforts necessary to address Christopher’s lack of identification, expired visa status caused by wrongful imprisonment, and anticipated civil actions (approximately $15,000).

The remaining funds will support ongoing case management, crisis-response services, staffing, coordination, advocacy, and oversight provided by The Criminal Justice Realm, which is responsible for managing Christopher’s housing, care, professional coordination, and protection throughout the year. All funds will be managed by The Criminal Justice Realm and paid directly to service providers to ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible stewardship.
