Description of Abuse
My name is Joshua Scolman. I’m 32 years old and have been incarcerated for 10 years. I have been placed in solitary confinement on numerous occasions for from 3 months to a year, and am now serving a year of solitary time, at which point I will be placed on administrative confinement for defending myself against the abuse and conduct of staff. Each time I come to seg, I lose myself a little more. I have my religious freedoms completely denied, I’m subject to psychological torture, which leads to continual deterioration of my mental faculties. I am denied human contact, which leads me to further anti-social behavior, which in turn causes me more problems. It is a slippery slope. I am currently held in a cell with a window facing a brick wall, no view of nature, the sky, sun or outside life. My religion of Odinism is a nature religion, and it’s through the outdoors I see my Gods so I am deprived of this as well. I have contracted many psychological “ticks” such as OCD, communication problems, and PTSD. I’m continually stressed out over insignificant things. And it’s only getting worse. The mass hysteria these seg units infects men with is real, and very serious. The public needs to be aware of the damage being done to so many prisoners across the state, and nationwide, and to act to correct the problem of long term segregation sentences.
We are establishing contact with Joshua and have invited him to write regularly for this blog.

| Gerald Easterling 564618;WCI ;PO Box 351;Waupun ,WI 53963 From Within and beyond this 8” by 14” square foot steel deprivation cell that is designed for my mental and physical and social dehumanization, I bring to you this letter of concern regarding the adverse effects of long term segregation sensory deprivation<After spending 3 years in intensive solitary confinement ,deprived of human contact, I had become super-sensitive to the 5 basic human senses. This deliberate and intentional stripping of the ell down to a isolation cell, then the stripping of the individual down to the basic necessities and even down to the personal effects- then locked within this cell 24 hours a day with barely the bare essentials and where even this wall-mounted stainless steel mirror is the segregation cell is removed from the walls so that even the sight of one’s own image is denied. And no matter how strong a person is , sensory deprivation is depravity at its worst. All 5 basic human sense-sight, sound, smell, touch, and taste-are severely suppressed-when one is slowly but surely and very subtly stripped of all common sentiments of humanity. So once again, I am force d to adapt to a Fucker of situation. Under these adverse conditions of confinement one tends to crave a change of scenery and location, and atmosphere, and environment just so s/he can see new sight instead of the same old everyday mind-deadening routine and faceless faces..hear new and different sounds other than the quiet and indescribable silence that seems to speak louder than noise, smell different scents besides the foul stale and contemptible odor so common to everyday existence in this bottomless pit..one seeks to touch base with and feel and embrace another human in an intimate and sensitive and humane and compassionate and personal way as opposed to the impersonal and inhumane and insensitive and degrading manner..one develops a strong, intense desire to taste various foods besides the same old tasteless and non variety and everyday, recycled meals. One is served just enough good to have a bowel movement and just enough to say alive. Where even one’s sense of taste and appetite, and taste buds is denied and deprived, Torture chambers where absent various forms of social stimuli , the human mind can become so debased and so dehumanized , and sink so low tha if one isn’t so careful , there is a tendency to adjust and conform and accustom oneself to a standard of living that is lower than that which exists within the animal kingdom. After spending over three years in the intensive solitary confinement, I was transferred back to general population .I have not received, encouraged nor welcomed any outside contact by way of visits and emotional and spiritual and financial support from family members, loved ones or friends in the past 6 years. The most pain is knowing, the feeling of helplessness. The dark corner doesn’t lend much comfort-often the walls are closing in. It’s still dark and cloudy in the midst of the hell the call “the kingdom, of darkness” but with a little love and support, you can supply the sunshine I need to get me through this stormy weather when all else fails. Bring your light to my solitude heart and mind and soul. What you have for me will make my darkness all-light, I understand you help people in prison, can you please help me maintain myself and existence with emotional and spiritual and financial support. Can you please provide encouragement and help me overcome the challenges faced during incarceration and reintegration. Being ungrateful is not a character of mines, nor do I require a lot, I just ask that you provide me enough ,enough of what you honestly have to offer genuinely from a place where your feeling and heart may reside. Can you please order me some envelopes? Item #8039 at www.JL Marcuswisconsin.com ( 414-438-4999) It si my heartfelt appreciation. You have my thanks. Hope to hear from you really soon.

This note from a friend of Darnial (at left)
"Now
I have another inmate that I’m friends with that just recently got beat
bad by the Cos . The inmate is Darnial Craig 374535. He was on hunger
strike for 6 weeks, He lost 30 pounds in that period of time and before
he wasn’t on hunger strike , he weighed 152 pounds. So that means he was
very weak and fragile when the co brutality occurred. He didn’t have
enough strength to even resist with the cos where they beat him in
handcuffs after they took him out of his cell .He went to the hospital.
and is traumatized and was on observation for about 3 months. Now they
give him extra portions and a bag meal every night. He gets two of
everything on all three trays so he can gain his weight back. (He filed
and inmate complaint and his appeal and intends to file suit. ) It will
be nice if you can write him and give him some assistance.
These
cos in WCI stay beating us while we are in handcuffs and it needs to
stop. This type of stuff your guys don’t hear out there and most of us
inmates don’t have a clue on what to so as far as litigating the type of
stuff, Ms Swan. I be asking myself why this stuff is happening but when
we beat on one of them we automatically getting charged and buried in
segregation. So something needs to be done about these situations and we
need justice, Ms Swan."

My name is Robert Berndt 519367. When I was a small child, about 2 years old , my parents where physically and sexually abusive for about three years. At 5 years old my father died from epilepsy while having a seizure he drowned in a pool.
My mentality throughout life went from bad to insane and back again as I committed crimes, became addicted to drugs, fought battles with chronic nightmares, Struggled with social shyness and my “sexuality”. I developed epilepsy at 17 and various other mental illnesses I.E.D. PTSD, OCD, Bipolar and some minor issues.
When I was 17, I was drunk and high on heroin and made the biggest mistake of my life. I betrayed the trust of a boy who I truly loved as a family friend, I made this horrible decision, I cannot blame it on my state of mind, only my bad decision to listen to the devil in the back of my subconscious. I sexually assaulted the boy.
I hope this does not discourage you from helping me. My family is there to help me if the y can, but I have 4 people in my family with cancer and serious life threatening issues. So it’s hard for them and me especially .I had confided in my mother (aunt) what I had done and she turned me in. I told on myself and got “screwed” in the end, because I took a deal , laid the entire story out there and in the end fot almost double the time I took a deal for. 7 in and 5 out is what I signed the deal for, I got 10 in and 10 out. What I did was wrong and I know it. My mother fells extremely guilty for turning me in. She’s been in a very depressed mood and I want to ease her pain but I don’t know how. I tell her she did nothing wrong but she seems she just can’t get over it.
So , after Moke told me about your movement, I’ve decide to try to devote some of my time to prisoner rights I would love to receive your newsletters and possibly write some essays for your web. Possibly some influential letters an try to help you help us. Thanks so much for what you do.

Justin Burns 560078 CCI
My name is Justin Burns and I’m in the cell with Justin Welch here in seg at CCI. I’d like to briefly explain my situation to you. I suffer from Mental illness specifically OCD, Anxiety and depression. I was referred to WRC as a High Priority for these symptoms I just told you about. My referral was accepted in 90 minutes; the quickest acceptance the psych doctor has ever seen! On the day I packed to leave to go to WRC I was found with some Marijuana on me; I had self medicated a few days before because I just couldn’t take the depressions and anxiety of everyday life with my WCLG. So I was given 360 days in seg due to my Conduct report. My visits were also taken from me due to my ticket but my visits had absolutely nothing to do with my conduct report. There are numerous inmates here who lost their visits also due to having dirty UAs.
So back to my situation, I have wrote PSU two times since i’ve been here and have not been seen. i’m just another casualty of the system who will not receive treatment before getting out. ON 6/30/17 I packed up to transfer to leave Monday 7 3 17.While I was in seg Captain Miller came to my door and said ”you know you were supposed to leave today.” I said, “yes, I know.
He said I wasn’t leaving though.
My mental health has been eating me and there is s no one here to talk to or to help. I was PRC’d to leave for treatment at WRC and it was Just stopped! No one is responding to my requests> NO one has answers. I ‘ve wrote to the Captain, to the security director, to the social worker, to the unit manager and also o PSU. I’m getting a copy of my referral tonight and when I get It I will send it to you. I would like to be names as a plaintiff in the class action lawsuit that’s going on. Justin Welch will help me exhaust administrative remedies.(gives me permission to do as I like with his letter, and that he is on mail monitoring. )
This is a request to see the psychological staff.
Zachary Krivitz 485677
WCI
Waupun, WI 53963
My names is Zachary. I am
currently 27 years old, residing in a corrupt and unjust Wisconsin prison
System. Allow me to explain:
I, as many others, have
experienced the wrath of solitary confinement . We all are already being
punished for our crimes, then become trapped inside prison’s general
population, only to be REALLY ”hit over the head” with 23 hour in an 8 by 10
cell. One, two, even three days max is understandable. The whole Wisconsin
prison system believes correcting out behavior ( at times justifiable) is to
give us 6 months-one year solitary confinement. They understand what that does
to the mind of someone. It enables our anger and bitterness which causes us
to rebel against them. Why do right by an organization that will break us down
to pieces? They put us in the room, forget about us, treat us like we’re
animals, NOT HUMANS. Then we stand up for what’s ours(property, phone calls,
hygiene etc) and we get more time in the hole because they claim we don’t
deserve it, because we’re being punish, not awarded.
Simply put, Wisconsin Correctional officers, sergeants, captains, the
whole administration, have NO REGARDS for prisoners’ rights.
They Continue to walk over
prisoners because no one speaks up.
Briefly about me:
I come from a household of
many privileges if I was behaved. Whether I was money, gifts, late nights,
whatever the case, My youth was normal up until I experienced the Wisconsin
DOC and began to rebel. Then my family was gone. I continue to blame the DOC. After
that, I felt that no one was there to help me, as the WI DOC continues to beat
me down. I try to be cool, calm, and continue as possible, then selfish people
take it for granted and it makes me angry. I was once socially inclined, then
so much time in seg created a monster ( to say the least).
i’m not gonna say I’m an
angel at the same time I will say that people, like myself, do not deserve to
sit long periods of time in confinement. A quick example: Recently the
administration claimed I was as serious disruption to the institution for a
minor infraction (possession of
contraband).Then why was I left in general population for three
weeks(4-8-16 to 4 28 16)until I was given 90 days in solitary confinement. I
smashed my head on the window, split it open, all because they have no answers
for their mischief. That is what happens. We begin act out in ways we never
thought possible. It is very sad that we are powerless in any circumstance.
I’ve thought maybe suicide as a way out of pain and suffering but I’d rather
stand here and fight against the idiotic, corrupt people than let them defeat
me.
When no one has family support from the outside, I do begin to feel
abandoned. i do try my hardest to keep my posture in hopes for better days. The
harder I try the more resistance I feel from others. It makes me feel my
soul has been kidnapped and taken to the dark side. More inmates will become
victimized unless we and come together and fight for what’s ours.

SOLITARY
CONFINEMENT Dear readers,
I am writing about a recent situation I’ve been in,
nonetheless one that also relates to my
fellow inmates and brings light to the immature, ignorant, and unprofessional
administration in DOC.
I am an inmate at Racine Correctional Institution awaiting
transfer to any max except WSPF. I am an MH-1 with borderline personality
disorder, cognitive disorder amongst several others. I was sent to the
hole off allegations, and became a
target since I’ve been in segregation- Completely being harassed by certain
staff members.
PRC staffed me max off 1 major ticket: Possession of
contraband, destroying state property. With me continuing to see PSU staff for
counseling I have built a solid trust with them all. Showing me nothing but
compassion, and understanding, the administration here knows that, sees that,
and never acknowledged it in my PRC paperwork. PSU continues to try to get the
administration to understand that inmates do have loss of control in behavior
due to mental health disorders. Had they had this understanding , I believe it
would lift a burden on inmates’ mental
health in solitary confinement. But as we all know, the administration doesn’t
care. We need to get the senate to
approve a new bill. Sincerely ,Zach

My name is Ryan Pruitt. I prefer Liquid but choose whichever you feel best fits your tone of voice. O humbling beg for prayer and help nothing more. NO, I won’t need envelopes or paper God has blessed me with a great mind.
I am incarcerated at the moment for things of which I did and things of which I didn’t. I accepted my mistakes and learned from them the truth is all you will get from me. I am 22 years old and 23 come Nov 1st. I find myself with 60 in 30 out for my very first felonies I’ve ever had in my life. I don’t even have a juvenile record. Please feel free to look me up and see for yourself the proof of all I speak about. UP until last month all I did was teach myself litigation tactics, case law and statues. I was ignorant to all those things at 19 and that’s how I ended up in Waupun. I fought long and hard to one day return to my family and son. Well as I last month I found out I lost my only child. His name was Zayden A Lawson died at 3 years old he was beaten to death by a family member on his mother’s side.
As any news similar should, it really broke me down. I see that I really can’t fight this battle on my own. My family struggle to send me what they have. So it’s safe to say I don’t have any way to get lawyer money unless I sell drugs in here. If I get caught That’ll dig me a deeper hole I know. But Honestly, I feel like I can’t breathe right I have to get out. I’ve written several lawyers but no hand has reached out except with upward palms.
I know about your penpal site and was only hoping to join your site. I hope to find a lawyer to help me with my appeal and re-trial because there will be one. I have DNA issues which once pointed out will grant me my remanding. I know through that with this emotional set back my mind will not be whole again no mater what. I would love to have new friends to write but I can only truly focus on my freedom. I need to more than I feel the earth needs water.

Update 4 17 update 2 - 12: Tim has been working very hard to get out of segregation, he had a good friend in a more mature deaf prisoner celled next to him who helped him work on controlling his anger. He is trying to get braille lessons and work on his GED as sight is getting worse. The prison seems more receptive to helping. A friendly note would help him alot.

Justin Welch 579750, CCI, PO Box 900, Portage, WI 53901
Justin is a deep thinker which is one of the reasons he is also very good at self torture. In the darkest period of his life he took a murder job-he is paying for that murder with a life sentence and gives himself no peace over his act. He is mentally ill and receives no health care, Has spent most of his years in solitary and has engaged in self harm . At one point he worked himself out of solitary and was doing well in a kitchen job when a homemade knife was found and he was blamed. "Why would I fashion a homemade knife when I work around knives all day?" he asked. All progress gone, back to seg.
His greatest wish is to get back to California where his mother and kids are. So far both DOCs have refused but we are not through trying,
Justin is a keen observer and is concerned about the welfare of other prisoners as well as his own.

Peg? These CO’s is doing us inmates wrong. I got placed in the hole because cellmate got caught with porn. One of the COs asked me to pat search me and I let him while I was talking to CO Wickman another person came from behind and grabbed me by the shoulder roughly. I turned around and got in a fighting stance because I thought that it was a inmate that grabbed me like that. All the correctional officers rushed me to the all and hand cuffed me and I didn’t do nothing wrong. And in the rule book correctional officers don’t supposed to put they hands on an inmate unless they say it’s okay. The white shirt here gave me a 60 DS(disciplinary segregation) time in the hole with no half time and I did do nothing wrong.
Not only that but in seg us over here don’t even get rec or go to the law library. They always make excuses that they busy but don’t none of these correctional officers even try to make sure we get what we got coming. And what’s so crazy we get oatmeal bread and peanut butters damner all the time for breakfast. They can’t even feed us inmates enough to keep us full until lunch time. Ever since this warden came here everything been going downhill. They’ve given us a 60 for 3 Ds and 3 Ds ain’t nothing but cell confinement or loss of rec. They don’t even give us face towels when its shower time in segregation. They don’t even have cameras in the hallways or they don’t even do 30 minute rounds and come and check up on us inmates and make sure we’re alive.
One time I didn’t have my inhaler so I had to kick me door and I was kicking for four hours before they came and seen what I wanted. I try to ICE ( file with Inmate complaint examiner)these things but I know my mail is being messed with because I wait months and months before I have to just write another one. But I got so tired of they B.S. I just stop writing them altogether. I really do appreciate the stamps because I’m all by myself in here and don’t have nobody doing nothing for me. It be very hard at times for me to get hygiene because I don’t have no money. Other inmates be having to give me things. All my family is gone so when these correctional officers do things to me I just try to keep my cool.
But trying to do that all the time is not easy that’s why I be segregation so much because I don’t let nobody disrespect at all. Sometimes I feel like giving up on life because I don’t have nobody who love me and it’s very hard in here but Allah knows I’m trying so hard. I don’t have a tv or radio so that’s why I just stay in segregation.
I just wish I had a family who loved me and would do things for me when I need it most. Bless you, you are a special person and I wish I had a mother like you who can love me.

Affidavit of Daniel R. McBride; 142889,WCI;
Born 1967(51), on AC since 2013(update coming)
I,
Daniel R. McBride, under 28 U.S.C. Section 1746 and penalty of perjury bring
this affidavit
in good faith and do sweat the following is
true and current to the best of my knowledge.
1.
I am presently confined in the Seg Unit of the
Wisconsin Correctional Institution at Waupun, WI 53963.
2.
On September 10, 2013, I was placed on
Administrative Confinement (AC) by the WCI Administrative Confinement
members. Ms. Bonis, Social Worker
Supervisor, Officer Gundy, COII, and Capt. Westra. Their decision reason was stated as: Inmate’s gang-related activities, Inmate’s
past conduct. Perhaps the most
disturbing incident or concern was taking a social worker hostage at WRC and
Group Resistance and Petitioning, attempt hostage, conspiracy, manufacture or
use of a weapon, aggravated assault, and endangering safety.
3.
Since being placed on AC I have been placed in
Observation Status on 2/1/14 for 6 days, 4/14/14 for 20 days, 7/9/14 for 9
days, 9/11/15 for 4 days, 9/29/15 for 3 days and 11/29/15 for 1 day.
4.
Each time I was placed in observation was
because of the fact of my being confined in a cell without any help from a
clinician (psychologist) for 24 hours a day, and people hollering and screaming
on the tier.
5.
Being on AC denies me access to some of my
religious books and groups due to the fact that the chaplain cannot send any
pagan books to seg, but yet other religions can.
6.
Ms. Baird, the former PSU Supervisor, who did
an evaluation of me and said that I’m a “Mtt2b” mental health class, meaning a
‘serious mental illness.” She told me to
get involved in PSU (Psychological Services Unit-conducted) groups, but there
are not any more PSU groups available, period.
These groups were stopped around February 11, 2015, but I did manage to
complete the CGIP program with the Social workers before the Seg Team stopped
that program from being available.
7.
Being confined to a cell 24 hours a day has
caused me stress because of the noise on the tier and nothing to do; no fresh air;
no access to clinical services, nor access to my religious books.
8.
Ms. Bonnie Halder, the WCI crisis worker, has
told me as well as my attorney that people with mental problems cannot get the
treatment they need due to the lack of time with an inmate and lack of
programs, and PSU are not around 24 hours a day.
Bobby Kimble 164788, WSPF; PO Box 1000, Boscobel, WI 53805 ( BD 1969)
I
decide to write you because I do have a story to tell, not only do I
have a story, but I also worked in solitary confinement for 6 1/2 years
on and off at the Waupun Correctional Institution [WCI]. I worked inside
restrictive housing unit North Program and North transition which are
both located in the North cell Hall at Waupun. I also worked in the
infamous Waupun segregation unit, I was a swamper there. During my time
as swamper, I used to deal with the entire solitary population at WCI
and in transition I used to interact with those who would be long or
short term confinement. Some would be transferred for other segregation
units like Wisconsin Secure Program Facility [WSPF], Green Bay
Correctional Institution [GBCI], Columbia CI etc. and I even dealt with
guys who would come from the Wisconsin Resource Center. So from 2002
-2015 I was either around or working around or inside segregation. I
have enclosed some correspondence, a rough draft copy of what I once
sent the DOC administration concerning my plight. With you, I will share
what happened to me and how I ended up in my current situation.
Back
in late 2014 or early 2015, I was called up to a Waupun Administrative
Captain’s office regarding some false allegations by an inmate who said I
had said some false things about a guard. So soon after I left the
security office word got back to the guard and some harassment followed.
My character was assassinated by them going on a staff computer and
then providing some confidential information pertaining to my past and
then sharing the private past criminal conviction with some inmates.
Soon after, I was being talked about by a lot of inmates. So basically
like a fool I confronted one of the guards inside Waupun segregation
unit where I was working. I am now facing attempted homicide battery
from the incident. I will be getting sentenced on March 17th, 2017, 10
am in Dodge county and the supposed sentence I am supposed to receive is
15 years concurrent to my already existing sentence which is natural
life. The DA from Dodge Kurt and Limberly and my attorney Greg Vollan
have had discussions about issues that had been going on for a very long
time at Waupun Facility. I have records that provide facts to my being
harassed up there but unfortunately, I reacted and got myself in this
jam. The DA from Dodge county never has initiated a John Doe probe on
all that stuff from Waupun. I do know that the warden and deputy warden
were reassigned to other facilities after the incident with me on
10/30/2015. The old Warden went to Dodge Correctional and deputy warden
was reassigned to CCI. These changes occurred after the incident with me
as told to me by my attorney, there were charges initiated by the head
of DOC. I take full responsibility for my actions. I don’t have a lot of
prior misconduct in the 19 years of incarceration and before my 2015
Waupun incident; my last conduct report was 11 or 12 years prior to
that. I was a model prisoner and as such was allowed to work any job in
Waupun. I have been in solitary since 10/30/2015, 8 months at DS-2 at
CCI, Restrictive Housing Unit and 8 months here at WSPF. I have no other
misconduct since the 10/30/15 incident. I didn’t attempt to homicide
anyone, I shouldn’t of confronted anyone though.
Currently
I am in this Behavior Modification Program which I am providing you a
copy of it’s policy derective which has been promulgated and described
to last for 12 months. I have been in the program since 7/25/16 so when I
get sentenced in March 2017, I will be in the program for 8 months. I
assume that I will then soon after the resolution of my case, be
reviewed to go to the last phase of the HROP. If I am then advanced to
phase green of the HROP , this phase is described to last up to 7
months, so a 12 month program which is described to last 12 months based
on positive behavior and program completion does not apply to me
because although I’ve done everything correctly ad positively, I will be
in the HROP past the 12 months. The length of the HROP was changed by
top administrators of DOC from 18 months down to 12 months

Being
an AC has caused me many mental problems.
Has caused me to overdose, writing poems about death, draw about
death. Being on medication makes me pace
back and forth, cut myself because I cannot talk to clinicians, and the noise,
lack of fresh air being in a cell, and lack of recreation, lack of treatment
groups, in a cell with a brighter light on 24 hours a day; lack of religious
books, not able to make group.
10. My mental health has gotten worse
due to the fact that I’m in AC and being placed in observation as a
consequence.
11. Many prisoners have been placed
in observation due to the fact that inmates on AC cannot get the help that they
need. In observation you get a green
smock, a black hard rubber mat, and a green security blanket with the light on
24 hours a day with an officer checking on you every 15 minutes.
12. In a regular cell there’s no
fresh air, no good air flow and the rooms are cold and loud.
13. I have talked to many clinicians
since I’ve been on AC because of my mental health getting worse due to being in
a room 24 hours a day; thoughts of self-harm, cutting myself, and overdosing a
few times. My diagnosis has gotten
worse, as well, as PSU has listed me for:
(A) Personality Disorder Mitch Type
(B) Poly = Substance Abuse
(C) Antisocial Personality Disorder
(D) Emotional Psypregulation (I don’t think that’s
right, but that’s what it says)
(E)
Emotional Disorder
(F)
Past Traumatic Stress Disorder
(G) Poly-Substance Dependence in Controlled
Environment
(H) Borderline Personality Disorder
(I)
Borderline Intellectual Functioning
(J)
Mtt2b (mental health classification)
14. My diagnosis and mental health
class have gotten worse and going to observation because of noise, being locked
in a cell 24 hours a day, because of noise on the tier, looking at the
hallways, thoughts of self-harm, and no access to the help that I need. PSU staff n longer stops by my cell to speak
with me.
I
am competent to testify to all of the above. Executed at Waupun, Wisconsin On

Friendship wanted.
Andre
has supplied his AC hearing document and his appeal. The prison is tell
him he is on AC because of his "history of Violence" i.e., his
conviction and his "non compliance with the rules" He is appealing his
conviction, claims innocence, has not had a conduct report resulting in
seg time. We will be writing him for more information regarding his
present conditions but he would like a penpal.I am interested in helping you and others understand what prisoners go through day in and out. Currently I am serving a “Life” sentence and I have been in solitary confinement for a total of 5 years. For allegedly breaking rule violations- basically i could have easily did seg time, and went to (G.P) general population. I was then told I was on AC due to my murder case supposedly because the media made it look like I was a cold blooded killer. And I don’t agree with that because I didn’t kill anybody I basically took the case to save my ex-girlfriend and uncle from going to penitentiary and the person was no kin to me. But at this time I am appealing the matter as of now. But I say all that to say this –that’s the real reason i’am on AC. Also the victim worked at (H.O.C.) House of Corrections outside of Milwaukee, that’s 30 minutes from Milwaukee from Franklin. But yeah, i’am yellow phase at this time, and after that I will be Green Phase, and have a total of 7 months to return to G.P. So that’s my outlook upon seg. In next letter I will write more. The pleasure was all mines !
Sincerely, Mr Andre Tinnon.
Ps I am enclosing paper work proof to what I spoke of on today >

 4.) James Terry #373986 WSPF PO Box 1000 Boscobel, WI 53805 DB 1964 ;age 54 Wants a friend
James
Terry is well known to FFUP-- For many years he has been trying to find
reliable representation to prove his innocence. Someday we may have a
group like Wisconsin Innocence Project to do preliminary investigation
on the many many cases such as this.
But for right now FFUP's interest is why he is on AC and we hope he can find a friendly pen-pal If there is any who would like to look into these AC cases with reform in mind, contact FFUP at pgswan3@aol.com https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/james-terry-story.pdf
Dion Mathews AC statement “I’ve been housed at WSPF since 2006, and from that time until now I’ve spent mainly ten of those years in solitary confinement .I was in g.p. in 2015m and was out back on solitary confinement that same year. I was put back essentially for writing a letters to the warden here, and administrative staff requesting more opportunities for prisoners here. Those requests were written respectfully, polite and honestly. After viewing this request apparently officials at this institution decided that they needed to write me a conduct report stating that I was a “gang member” and I’m writing this administration “demanding changes”. The conduct report stated that in my proposal I wrote “we ask,” and “we propose” and that meant to this administration that I was “demanding things.” That interpretation was quote preposterous indeed. Enclosed is one of the letters I sent to the warden and there you can see how respectful my writings tend to be. This case is currently in front of the US District Court Western District of Wisconsin, and documents can be accessed through the courts electronic filing system at Dion Matthews V lebbens Brown 16cv 650. Needless to say, the psychological and physical effects of long term solitary confinement is devastating especially in the situation when no kind of legitimates interest existed or exists. This is just punishment for punishment’s sake" Dion Mathews 254399 WSPF Dion Matthews DOC profile: https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2017/02/dion-matthers-doc-profile.pdf |
