transcription of the above handwritten essay: 

     All too often prisoners in state prisons suffer from physical and mental illnesses or are navigating prison life with disabilities. State prisons fall far short of their constitutional duty to meet the essential needs of people in their custody. As a result, people in the state prisons are kept in a constant state of illness and despair. Instead of Rehabilitation, people in prison are ,at the very least, serving in a system for people failed by other parts of the US social safety net. It shows that state prisons are full of neglected people. 

    Bad prison policy is an issue for all of us, not just those who are behind bars. Huge proportions of people in state prisons are impacted by disease, infection, disability and mental illness. Incarcerated people have higher rates of certain chronic conditions and infectious diseases compared to the general US population in many but not all cases. In cases where rates of illnesses are not higher, we must consider the rates of undiagnosed conditions and disease among incarcerated people are likely to be higher due to inadequate screening during prison. In addition, people in prison rely on and are burdened by having to request medical appointments through prison medical Correctional staff and having to pay unaffordable fees, copay, for care while incarcerated.

      Individual’s health issues may begin before being arrested. Incarceration often makes their medical conditions even worse. Then creates new ones. Being locked up in and of itself causes lasting damage to one's health, to loved ones health, including children born to Injustice involved parents. 

       People in prison have a constitutional right to  health care. But that care Is designed to treat acute Healthcare problems rather than to prevent or effectively treat chronic disease. People in state prisons have  much higher rates of illness compared to General Public.  In prisons people 55 and older report being diagnosed with asthma and considering  that asthma can be triggered by mold, dust mites, air pollution and pests- all things found in poorly maintained and harmfully sited prisons, asthma is a serious problem for incarcerated people. 

      From infectious disease, covid-19, hepatitis- C, substance use disorders, diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, pain like arthritis, chronic pain, other rheumatoid diseases, fibromyalgia, lupus and cancer. For some other medical conditions, rates are comparable between incarcerated and  nonincarcerated people. This is not to say these conditions are not problems in prisons. Because people in state prisons face challenges to their physical, mental Health on a daily basis, prisoners need at least the same level of care as they might get on the outside. Which we know is not our reality. 

      Medical problems are always much higher for older people in the state prisons. Those age 55 and older picture what it's like to age in prison with some of these health conditions above. People in prison are far poorer on average than non incarcerated people. Moreover prison Healthcare falls short of the constitutional duty to care for those in state prisons. As a result of such inadequate health care, many people in prison end up worse off upon release or dying prematurely. Cancer is more deadly in prison than. on the outside. People recently released from prison have a higher risk of hospitalization and death from heart disease than the average person.

     In the first two weeks after release from prison, individuals face a risk to death that is more than 12 times higher than for the non incarcerated individual. That is due to little or no medical treatment  Medical and inadequate Health care.by unskilled and untrained medical nurse practitioners, RNs, dentist and nurse assistants. This is not something I'm just writing about. I personally experienced these violations of my constitutional rights, DAI Policies, human rights and also federal and state  laws. For prisoners Healthcare rights in prison, prison reform is needed on every level- federal state and local government. We have  prison policies and some are very strict but in prison those prison policies are violated by the prison’s medical and dental staff.

William Steele desperately needs treatment before release

William steel , has multiple DUI convictions,
 begging for treatment before being released. 

Wlliam Steele 1666853 RCI

here is his story:

  10 4 23

I'm in for my 7th OWI and the judge almost gave me maximum sentence 5 in 5 out- 10 years. I pulled over without any aggravated circumstance however my judge was Jennifer Darrow and she was going for Supreme Court and that's the time when Darrell Brooks ran over people in the parade. so I tried to plea out but still got banked

  I should have got mandatory minimum of three in, three out , to do Erp and then get out in 3 but you put a condition on for four in but my J.O.C. said I'm not eligible for Erp until after 4 years. However in the transcript she said I could get out in 4 years. but the clerk put eligible for Erp after 4:. Now I have a little over two. I think if I write the court I can get out on 4. 9:25-25( I pray)

 I've been in touch with Tony Justich and he agrees that I shouldn't be subject to S,O, rules when I don't register and was never ordered by a judge. I sent him all the information. Anyway the prison system is in violation with a lot of things( major overcrowding) it's hard to get in ERP for a lot of people/. There's tons of other crap going on.

  I always get medical shoes in Dodge but now I don't fit the criteria because I have a bad bunion on my foot. I went all the way to Madison. Now I can start my civil suit against Hsu because the only way is connective  surgery for this. but I don't have the $350,,400 for filing fees. So I'm screwed for now. So I'll work with St Vincent de Paul jail Ministries in Waukesha you can call them my friend Tom Pippins helps me out with property while in here TV radio Etc

 I've been working with the ministry for 30 plus years. way back when a fellow named John Qual was in there. .Now they have another John running it in Tom Pipiens worked as a channel 12 sports newscaster. he is really cool so feel free to work with them.

RE: Friend of the Court Letter

For William Steele 166853 RCI

April 7,2024 

Your Honor,

I am writing you on behalf off William Steele. He is incarcerated at Racine Correctional Institution. This is his 7th DUI conviction and he has come to me for help in obtaining , finally, treatment. In each of his last convictions he has been released without addiction treatment, only to go back to the same old behavior when stressed. He knows he needs to develop a new support system and needs help doing that now. I come to you for hep so he is again not again released to the same merry-go-round.

The DOC policy here is hard to understand - William’s sentence was 5 in and 5 out. With his 7th DUI the mandatory “in “ time 3 years. You added a year to that. You have to have over two years left to get on the two year waiting list for addiction treatment. This is his explanation to me: “ the program is 3 months long but the wait list is over 2 years long and I should be starting it now but the judge gave me an extra year but then if I’m not on the waiting list by now I wont get any treatment at all so basically the judge made it so I serve more time and get no treatment at all, once again deny me of my help.” 

WIlliam wants desperately to do the right thing and needs our help- he needs the treatment program while in prison.. Please either order that he be put on the two year waiting list now or take away the extra year you gave him.

It is my experience that most prisoners leave prison untreated and untrained, traumatized   Here is an opportunity to buck that tradition Please help

I Thank you for your attention,

ALEASHA THIRY shares her story to show that problems start early

Aleisha Thiry has an incredible story to tell, needs our support

 

                                        This story is another example of how

                             THE PROBLEMS START WAY BACK BEFORE PRISON.

 ALEASHA THIRY (709060)

9 2924

Hello my name is Aleasha Thiry and I'm 33 years old. Currently I am serving a 4 year prison sentence and I reside at Robert E. Ellsworth Correctional Center in Union Grove, WI. I'm writing to share my story with others to bring awareness of how my life has been affected by not only the prison system but also largely by the department of children and families (DCF). I will begin by sharing a lot of background information about my life and will add to this over time. You may notice that some parts may overlap or be mentioned more than once...most likely with more detail. I hope my story can help others struggling so they know they are not alone and to let people in our state and country know what's really happening with the department of children and families and the criminal justice system!

   I have three older half siblings...a sister, Carrie and brother, Cory on my moms side and a sister, Wendy on my dads side. Carrie is 6 years older than me. Cory is 8 years older than me. Wendy is 24 years older than me. I was born in Fort Dodge, IA. but moved to Wisconsin as a baby. My mother was 25 and my father was 43. My parents were never super wealthy but they made ends meet. My mother had a harder time as she was mainly a single mother of three children except when she had a boyfriend or husband. My mother went through many jobs while my father drove semi his entire life. I remember moving around a lot and every time we moved, my belongings were typically left behind or thrown out. Throughout my childhood I have moved at least 19 times. I lived in various cities such as Green Bay, Marinette, Howard, Abrams, Suamico, Ashwabenon, and Milwaukee. For the most part I lived with my mother primarily but I was with my father for some time. I recall not living with my parents at some point in my life but I did not remember this until many years into my adult life. I did end up asking my mom about it but she has told me she dunno what I'm talking about and that I have always lived with her or my dad. Heck, maybe she don't. She probably blacks out; I know I've blacked out things/times in my life.

   Throughout my entire life, I have experienced a lot of traumatic events which I'll simply list here to keep things organized and simplified:

-3 years old: fell outta barn & was put in a complete body cast

-3 to 6 years old: sexually abused repeatedly by D.V.

-7 years old: sexually abused by K.B.

-7 to 12 years old: homelessness

-8 years old: hit by drunk driver, maternal grandma died, found bloody knife on dumpster

-9 years old: battles bruise

-12 to 13 years old: life with an alcoholic, my stepmother

-14 years old: life as an angry teen/threaten to runaway/threatened with being sent to an all girls school

-15 years old: D.V. cycle with S.J.

-16 years old: drugged & sexually abused by N.R.

-17 years old: drugged & sexually abused by T.W.

-18 years old: adult modeling, dad died

-19 to 24 years old: mentally, physically, emotionally, and sexually abused by T.N., D.V. cycle with T.N.

-23 years old: maternal grandpa died, children removed from our home by DCF

-24 years old: mentally, physically, and sexually abused by N.H., Deaths of two close friends/significant others (J.G. & N.H.)

-23 to 25 years old: alcoholic, drugs, struggled with childcare

-25 to 31 years old: mentally, emotionally, and sexually abused by T.T., D.V. cycle with T.T.

-28 years old: maternal uncle died, paternal grandma died,alcoholic

-28 to 31 years old: children removed from our home by DCF

-30 years old: mentally and sexually abused by T.N., adult industry, incarcerated

-31 years old: stepmother died

   I have always had troubles with my memory and honestly do not have a lot of memories growing up. I know my sister, Carrie did a lot looking after me because our mother would work multiple jobs at a time to try supporting our family. However, I do remember things like growing up and having limited supply of food available so my mother would go without. At times, my mother, siblings, and I have lived in a motel, sometimes even different campgrounds, or from one of her boyfriends houses to the next. Throughout my years growing up, I have pretty much kept to myself. I had maybe 1-2 friends at any given time. I believed there was no sense in making friends because I was always moving. Through my elementary school years, I struggled with reading and received extra help in school. Middle school was pretty rough as I struggled academically a lot and spent hours upon hours on school work after school...basically until bedtime. Up until 9th grade, I was always heavier set and would be made fun of by other students which also only encouraged me to stay to myself. I began drinking regularly while in middle school. When I entered high school, I did very well academically but began using marijuana and skipping a lot of school. I was still passing all my classes though and I did end up graduating on time in May 2009! While in high school, I earned my certificate for certified nursing assistant and passed my state testing! All through school, I had behavioral problems which only increased as I got older. At 16 years old, I was diagnosed with ADHD/ADD an put on medication.

   At the age of 14, I got my first actual job in the community. I have always been a person that learns fast and is a very hard worker. I have always been a person interested in learning new things and working and an education are two very important things to me! I always worked 1-3 jobs at a time to keep busy and to support my family. I ran into some troubles with childcare in 2016 and struggled for a short while being unemployed but eventually things ended up working out with the help of a local W2 program that I was enrolled in. After about 9 months, I ended up being a stay at home mom for about 6 months. I really didn't enjoy not working so I was somewhat unhappy but I did it because that's what made the most sense to do given my circumstances at the time.

   Earning a college education and graduating is something I have always been determined to do! In high school, careers that interested me included: nursing, paralegal, and zoologist. Upon graduating high school, I enrolled in college at Central Arizona College where I was attending for 'pre-nursing' in person at their campus in Coolidge, AZ. My father ended up passing away after my second semester started there and I found out I was pregnant with my first child so I moved back to Wisconsin to be by my immediate living family members. I continued my college education and enrolled in college at NWTC where I was attending for 'health care business services and health information technology' online and in person at their campus in Marinette, WI. During my second year into my college education, I began to become very interested in being a psychiatrist which I'll talk about more later on. I stayed in college steadily until 2016 when I no longer received financial aid due to not passing a course I kept trying to retake. The course was chemistry and I needed it to get into the nursing program which has always been one of my main top career choices. Due to so much happening in my life, my college education was put on a standstill for multiple reasons: financially I couldn't afford it, not having adequate childcare, and not having enough time to dedicate to my courses. Overall I have earned over 80 college credits but unfortunately haven't even earned one associates degree due to bad planning and trying to do multiple programs at once. Since becoming incarcerated in 2022, I have restarted my college education in 2023 within a different field due to being barred from working in healthcare due to my criminal charges. I began taking courses in person and online through MPTC to work towards their 'business management' program. Recently I transferred to this minimum location so as of right now, my program is on hold due to no available clear book (laptop) and I have to wait until atleast 2025 to get going again. Its pretty unfortunate because even without being placed 'on hold', I was not going to graduate prior to my release. However there's an option to finish while I'm in the community. Another bummer is that my financial aid runs out two semesters before I complete the program so I don't know if I'll be able to pay for the remaining courses out of pocket.

   As an adult, I have moved eleven times between Marinette, Peshtigo, and Neenah in Wisconsin and Casa Grande in Arizona. The majority of these moves were always to accommodate my significant other which I realize now shouldn't have ever happened. A lot of my life circumstances as an adult were significantly influenced by my significant other and I never realized how wrong all that was until I was removed from the toxic environments and received a lot of mental health help while I was first incarcerated. I fully take responsibility for my actions as I am the one who made them but I also want it to be known that I have had many struggles throughout my life and was not always in a healthy environment where I was able to think clearly and properly. I am always one to take care of everyone else and everything else yet still feel like deep down, I get nothing done. In my life prior to prison, I was always highly irritable and would scream a lot. I would also get caught up in my own compulsions like being a compulsive hoarder, workaholic, alcoholic, using and experimenting with drugs, gambling, and sexaholic. At times I'd loose touch with reality and my mates not being who they were in the beginning and not even really knowing who I truly am myself! Sometimes I would have no interest in sex and feel guilty to do anything for myself. Most days I had no energy to do everyday tasks. I would spend excessive amounts of time worrying about other people and their problems. It was always common for me to not feel close to anyone or have fun. I would isolate from activities/outings in order to know what's going on with my mate. It was common for me to have other moods controlling my emotions and I'd try to control other peoples feelings and behaviors. Eventually I began to doubt myself and let my need go unmet, love would disappear, and my needs would only become greater. Frequently I'd loose touch with my own emotions.

   All of my relationships with other people have always been unhealthy and for the wrong reasons. I was not allowed to discuss problems openly, talk about feelings, or behaviors. I always wound up with sexaholics, alcoholics, addicts, and criminals. I never knew this until my incarceration. My friendships only ever were a thing if the other person could benefit in some way from being my friend whether it was getting free transportation, housing, or belongings. My dating relationships all fall in the domestic violence category and were all pretty toxic. I never learned healthy boundaries or healthy relationships growing up so I never knew better. I also didn't have others to really look up to in this area because my mother whom I lived the majority of my life with never really had friends while I was growing up. My father had a few but I was so little at that time and was not around often due to him working a ton and me living mainly with my mother. Also as a child, I pretty much was under the impression of staying out of the adults business because they were always busy and taking care of adult things. Don't get me wrong; we did do normal family things like parks, community events, parades, shopping, reading books, board games, outdoor games, swimming, amusement parks, vacation, and etc...

   I married for my first time in November 2014 to my second baby daddy, Timothy after being together for 3.5 years. We stayed together until 2016 but did not get officially divorced until 2018. The second time I got married was in December 2020 to my third baby daddy, Troy after being together for 4.5 years. Currently we are still married but I have tried filing for a divorce and ultimately I think that's what needs to be done.

   So, I come from a small family that is not very close knit. I've always wanted a large family so I decided to make that happen. I have seven biological children! I have four daughters and three sons. My children are:

Harmony (December 2010) father: Francisco

Damien (December 2011) father: Timothy

Savannah (December 2012) father: Timothy

Dontae (April 2015) father: Timothy

Blazyn (March 2017) father: Troy

Serenity (March 2018) father: Troy

Lilliana (April 2019) father: Troy

While married to Timothy I had one step daughter, Hailee (2003 or 2005). While married to my current husband, Troy I have one step daughter, Kailin (March 2007) and two step sons, Ashton (August 2010, deceased) and Kameron (March 2012). I always encourage open and honest communication between my children and me and do my best to foster a close relationship among us all! My children are my world and they are the most important to me. Everything I do, I do for them. They have always been well taken care of in our home and never went without things they needed. My children have always had pretty much all they would want. They are spoiled!!

Michael Evans , old law prisoner, has begged for mental health treatment since beginning

 Michael  Evans 344627 GBCI /BD 1980, 42

mailing address: Michael Evans 3344627/Green Bay Correctional Inst/PO Box 189,Phoenix, MD 21131

Michael's story is heart rending. He had mental health problems since the age of 8. He was convicted of reckless homicide at age 18. He had been beat up by a group, was handed a gun and in rage went after them and shot and killed one man and injured another. He confessed to all and took full responsibility. .Below are the final recommendations taken from a three page 1999 report  recommending a short sentence, treatment and academic training as Michael was accepting punishment and wanting to be helped. The whole report which relates details of his life and the shoorting .is in the following link= worth the read.

NOTE: as an OLD LAW PRISONER, (  convicted of a crime committed BEFORE 2000), Michael was eligible for parole after serving 1/4 of his sentence. 

Twenty three years later:

       Michael Evans first wrote me when he was on hunger strike because he wasgetting no mental health treatment and was feeling suicidal .His letter below, handwritten original and typed versions, speaks of his efforts to get help and his frustrations with the system , He makes clear that being in general population creates much anxiety, 

  My response to him was that hunger strikes in the Wi system do nothing except hurt the strikers ,as he most prisons do not  follow their own rules and we cannot follow him or advocate effectively for him.

He agreed to join us in our effort to get a mental health treatment center and complete change in policies relating  to those with mental health problems. . Over 40  percent of the prison population is mentally ill and the prison mostly warehouses them in isolation cells which causes life long trauma.

Here is his letter , handwritten

One sad thing about this world is that the acts that take the most out of you are usually the ones that other people will never know about. by Ann Tyler, “ My  Story”

  I spoke to Dr helmets( boss of PSU) on to 2:31 2022, I spoon- fed me on a treatment plan that will work only if I'm out of the hole, I agreed to work with him! not Dr Breen; I was released from the hole on 1 4-23; since I've been in GP, I've not received any treatment, no one-on-one. Dr Breen tried to send me a pass twice, after I wrote an ICE and CCE and notify the warden and my intention to sue PSU staff for deliberate indifference to my mental health needs, I refused and put a DOC 1803: inmate request for separation, for PSU staff Dr Breen- Smith and follow it with an inmate complaint examiner’s office regarding my assigned clinician; intimidation, threatened, harassment, causing me to suffer serious emotional distress.

  Nothing have been done about my mental health, I have received a response today from Dr Hamilton, again, it's always next week or two or three weeks to be seen by PSU doctor Hamilton is a supervisor of PSU.

 I have a lot distress and anxious in general pop; if I commit suicide, please!!!! make sure these people get held responsible: Warden Dylan Kay Radke, Deputy Warden  Michelle R H a e s e, Dr Martha J Breen- Smith, Dr Todd L Hamilton, PSU-. M.S Hillary J Berg, Security Director John a kind.

He has taken every program available to him and has been recommended for parole several time but each time the politics of the day squashed the plan.

this is by a friend: 

“Billy(William)is incarcerated under the old law for Robbery with a firearm. He made a bad decision in his early 20s and robbed an armory in the hopes that he could make some fast money to feed his kids.  As a result he has done 25 years so far under the old law.  He has taken every class offered and has two certificates/degrees. Yet every year the PRC has some other excuse not to let him go. Parole Chairman John Tate, 2 years ago had told him that he was going to be released but then he stepped down or resigned and after he left office they would not honor the promise and basically said that they didn't have to honor it. 

            I have went through our old letters and found a stack of awards and certificates of completion for at least 20 different programs ... This is just so heart breaking.  He took parenting classes in 2004 several different ones....but yet he has missed raising both his kids entirely.  His daughter was completely heartbroken when they rejected his release plan again last year... She was married in October and all she had ever wanted was for her dad to walk her down the isle.  She wrote him a letter that just broke him...she stated that he had missed every single milestone in her life, including the birth of his first grandchild.  This man is one of the best people I know and when I first met him in 2015 I had an attitude about prisoners and I was seriously harsh on him.  He made me eat every word and I am ashamed at my judgement but with patience and understanding he showed me who he was.  He has begged and pleaded and cried in Prc meetings and I mean outwardly showed emotion and sincerity....only for them to deny him over and over.  He amazes me everyday though...everything he has been through he is still positive and hopeful.  I have lost faith in WIDOC.  Their purpose is to rehabilitate...he is rehabilitated...let the poor man enjoy the years he has left.  Sentenced to 35 years for a burglary/theft with weapon. Non violent crime..”

Charlie Bliesner writes of incredible retaliation

  Since all the media attention on WI prisoners and the arrest of WCI warden and staff members, the protests and investigations etc, we see a concerted effort by many staff members in our WI prisons to cut off communication between prisoners and the outside. This has been going on for quite awhile but now has reach an absurd level-

Here is one tool used by DOC staff to silence prisoners: 

retaliatory conduct reports and cell searches.

Background:

He was then given a CR for writing to "the community " and "IWOC " telling of the harassment. . This is protected speech. He now faces a long time in seg and has much of his property destroyed and /or taken.

transcription of his 61424letter"On 12/28/23 when I went to solitary r h u, Kinast  and Co packed up my property in Melrose and stole some of my things where I reported it in ICE- 2024- 3323.

Where then I went to smetana on it when I got out of rhu asking to let me buy back my headphones  4018--008, blizzard and Jack from the vendor Walkenhorst.com .

Where is smetana got all crazy with it saying she has to run this by investigation on it and search my room inventory all my things again to make sure I don't have it even though it was already inventoried  by Kinast  and Co in my pack up where they never wrote on my pack up inventory list as giving me those things because they stole it from me. so on__________ smetana had Kinast  and Co storm in my room and tear it apart because I filed and i c e on all them on it, it's i c e retaliation. this was a room search ICE retaliation on me"

note: because Charlie wrote out to the edges, I scanned it wide view and there is repetition where the two resulting pages  meet. 

Here are two versions of the CRs- a straight scan cuts off the edges so I also scanned them sidewise using "landscape ". In the second Cr he is faulted for writing about an abusive guard. We need to expose these bad actors, we out here and insists on investigations for the Prisoners are being silenced when they speak up .

the offenses are petty in the extreme. this is very disturbing and a new trend .

Below is 

 Below is Mr Bliesner's version of the with  conversation with staff that preceded the cell searches etc.

At JCI, Officer Ms  Madison harasses me.  On 3-30-24 around 4 PM I  went to the officers station in

 Melrose side  A where I live & I asked staff & Madison, rookie officer Mr Hanson & CO Ms Chandler for a  DOC-2182 ICE rejection form & Madison  said there  are none St the rookie officer Ms Chandler couldn't find it in the computer to print out to give me so it's not in the computer.

 I explained nicely to them Chandler is  looking in the wrong area in the computer for it & Madison went off on me snapping on  me &  yelling at me saying, DON'T YOU TELL US HOW   TO DO   OUR  JOB AND I  NEED TO LEAVE   THE OFFICERS STATION  NOW   BECAUSE  I SAID THAT!!!

I then said I didn't mean it like that & I'm not telling you how to do your job, I'm only explaining Chandler is looking in the wrong area in the computer for it to print it out. Then Madison   snapped at me  again yelling at me scaring the 2 rookie officers by Madison yelling at me saying, I TOLD YOU  TO  LEAVE THE  OFFICERS   STATION AND NOT    COME BACK!!! So I left.

Madison acted this way because I asked for an ICE complaint form & I'm known for filing ICE's. Staff joke with me all the time about all the ICE's I file. It's no secret. They all know I file ICEs including Madison. Staff give me my mail daily with my ICEs I file. It's ICE retaliation. This is the way Madison always treats me & other inmates. -The-way  Madison-spoke to me like trash,she was clearlytrying to_promoke_m_e_to_argue—with her & beat her up while I refuse to ever do that. Madison is know to talk to inmates like this to get them to argue with her so she can send them to RHU solitary. Madison  has a long history of it.

Madison sets a bad example for other staff to follow & do worse. Madison clearly tried to escalate things with me while her DOC training she received tells her to never treat inmates like this. I never got my ICE form that day.

Madison made  it clear to me I can't go back to the officers station to ask for help on anything, or get forms or anything & I'm clearly not allowed to talk to her or anyone about this. Madison made it clear to me I can't go to her or the officers station to ask for PREA help, or if I'm having a medical emergency, or apersonal safety issue or anything. Its clear to me I'm left to fend for myself 6( Madison & staff are not here to help me or work with me.   Madison is pure evil.

 I emailed the Deputy Warden & Litigation on this but they refused to respond back or help me.  When ,I emailed them. I knew it went to the Melrose Sgt to know  & he never helped  me with it. I'm sure these people forwarded the email to CPS Kristine Smetana but she didn't even help me with it.     Everyone at XI knows Madison acts like this & they all still let her treat us this way & others. I was told when Madison was at the Boscoville prison for training they had to remove  Madison from  areas because they  knew the  way she treats inmates was going to get her stabbed up.

 So Madison was told not to provoke inmates & why.  So Madison is knowingly deliberately  provoking inmates to argue with her & beat her up. I don't condone anyone  hurting Madison or   anyone & don't want that to ever happen to Madison or anyone. On 3-30-24 at dinner on camera Madison was circling all the inmates eating & harassing them telling them to leave before they finished eating while inmates are allowed 20 minutes to eat & there 20 minutes were not up yet & no other inmates were coming in the dining room to eat.

Madison does this daily shes in Melrose & no dther staff harass inmates like this. The staff& inniates I talk to all say they don't like Madison because of the way she is.

 On 4-10-24 CPS Kristine Smetana threatened me telling me was getting a ticket for writing an email about all of this where my email uses the same wording as in here. Because I got a ticket on writing this in an email, it's clear to me I can't even write or speak to an attorney on any of this to

get legal help to sue on it & I can't contact law enforcement on it either to seek pressing charges. This denies me access to the courts.

Smetana & JCI are clearly treating me like a slave with no rights. JCI is trying to keep my

mouth shut about this. It's clear to me Smetana wrote this ticket to destroy my character on this & to make me look like I'm a liar when I'm not lying. This violates my 1st amendment rights & other constitutional rights to email people on this to get help on it & find legal help to sue on it. JCI is threatening me with tickets & solitary for writing to get help on all this. For proof see my ticket 377650 on it.

I need to be moved from JCI for my safety. In April 2024 CO Hanson told me Madison is known to always be mean to inmates. If Hanson & CO Chandler know Madison is known  to be mean to inmates then why don't they report her? Its because they're too afraid to report her I feel because of the culture at JCL This is all my understanding, opinion, feelings & hunch. To be clear I'm not suicidal.

I wrote this to get help & sue on it.
