Bernard Kretlow tells of programming problems and efforfs to keep low bunk
 |
| Bernard Kretlow 340419 OSCI Bernard introduces himself and tells his story Peggy, I want to start out by telling some things about myself: 1. my full name is Bernard Edward Kretlow 2. I'm at Oshkosh Correctional Institution 3. I'm 44 years old, will be 45 on February 24th. 4. I have one brother who is 40 will be 41 on Wednesday August 28th. 5. I have no sisters 6. I'm in prison for a second degree sexual assault of a child. I got 10 years with 9 months hoc time if I mess up on probation. I was given two ATRs messed. Got revoked cases open due to additional information. I came out charged with first degree sexual assault of a child and got 25 years concurrent to the 10 so I'm doing 45 years my PMR is 5-7-2026 my maximum discharge is 423 37 that is when I'm off paper 7. I grew up in Milwaukee in a home where there was fights, arguments, drinking, abuse of all types and Mom and her several boyfriends. 8. My mom played both the mother and father for me and my brother till we had to Be taken out of the home by child protective services. 9 I'm single 10. now as to placements I've been since 1990:2 foster homes= a child /8treatment centers= juvenile/ several adult jails, prisons=adult 11. I've taken many non-essential and essential group programs, classes. Names 12, see original) one group of note- spiritual program which is a wonderful program It's an incentive based mental health program for inmates with mental health issues to give them tools to help them from continuing to misbehave, get tickets leading to segregation placements, possibly ending up back in maximum Security setting Within the DOC they use phases 345 to earn more freedom as you progress and you get points for participating in groups. SRTU stands for secure residential treatment unit. Then they have a section here for mental health segregation area called DU which stands for diversion unit It's for inmates with mental health issues to make their disciplinary separation time more doable. 18. SOTis a sexual offender treatment program adaptive which is a sex offender treatment program for inmates who have a learning disability/ mental health issues and is less of a difficulty to get through and better broken down. details Hands-On less work to do more discussion time and visualizations. Any information you want about sptu and s o t Adaptive group ,you can contact our Warden and/ or Dr J a n n o n it had a PSU Department. Well in closing I'll say take care thank you for your assistance with much needed supplies and add to my blog: I was given a 30-day restriction by medical not to work and my program sergeant Which is? removed me from my job giving it to someone else which I feel is wrong cuz I did nothing to lose my position so I should have not had the job taken. They could have had someone fill in for me while I was on medical restriction then I'd still have my job and wouldn't have to worry about getting a new different one. Complaint: on 8924 at 10:25pm- I went to the office desk to let officer Cook know that I feel hot sweaty clammy as my pressure is high and he told me to write a slip so I can be seen on sick call tomorrow. I did and I gave it to him via protocol. I should have been evaluated tonight feeling this, cuz tomorrow I’ll feel better blood pressure will be normal and I won't feel sweaty clammy anymore so I won't be seen This is unprofessional. in original: Bernard's first issue is to preserve his low bunk restriction |
. Here we present some of the ins and outs of the SNC or "Special Needs Committee" which has the authority to override the outside Doctor's recommendations and causes much undue suffering and pain.
transcription of Bernards april statement on low bunk:
Bernard Kretlow 340419 Osci 4/22/24
reasons I should have an indefinite lower bunk restriction
1. I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of tossing and turning at night while asleep which occurs nightly
2. I'm at risk of falling as a result of my lower back locking up on me which happened on 418/24 or41924.
3.I am at risk of falling out of bed as a result of my nightmares which I have.
4 I am at risk of injury to my left ankle having to go on the top on cuz it's injured already.
5.Nowhere to put sleep apnea machine or cause if I put it on the TV stand at foot of bed it's at risk of falling cuz I toss and turn and it can't sit on the floor cuz the hose won't reach to the top bunk ,not long enough would need two hoses.
6.At risk of seizure if I've become stressed which happens quite a bit with my cell Vance Adduci and

RE: Low bunk for Bernard Kretlow 340419
April 22, 2024
Hello,
I am concerned for the well being of Bernard Kretlow, He has been recently denied the low bunk designation because he has not had seizures in a few months. I ask that you applaud yourselves and him for this improvement in his health and keep the low bunk restriction . Bernard is afraid of falling from the top bunk. Such a fall would have serious consequences. He has fallen from the low bunk and this fear of falling increases his risk for seizures and falling.
The DAI 500.30.07 Special Needs rule on Lower bunk restriction states:
“A person should be restricted from the upper bunk if they have a medical condition that represents a higher than average likely hood of severe injury if that person fell from the upper bunk or if there is an uncontrolled medical condition that places them at increased risk of a sudden unpredictable loss of mobility, balance or cognition.”
Bernard Kretlow certainly qualifies here- Please do not jeopardize your success with helping him control his seizures- Allow Bernard Kretlow to keep his low bunk restriction.
Thankyou for your attention:

at issue - severe fish allergies that send him to hospital. He has severe reactions even when around fish. the one clue is that he is fine in NLCI seg, where there is plenty of ventilation- other places in the institution are closed. Requests to be moved etc are not honored. Everyone cooks fish in microwave. He request and denies full medical workup.

Inmate population cannot use an outside vendor! In theory we can only use an outside vendor if we cannot find something better from our DOC's vendors but in practice such a purchase is never approved. The Contracting system for all DLC inmates is extremely corrupt and predatory towards all inmates and anyone else who tries to help our inmate population. The Wisconsin DOC Administration uses NASPD( the National Association of State procurement officials) to select and contact all of its vendors. DOC does this in secret and behind Closed doors. We need this practice to be brought into the light and under public scrutiny. This process should be monitored by the Wisconsin Attorney General's office. The contacts should be open to our inmate population also. We are intended customers and we should have a say in what we are being sold and for how much. Also,every inmate should have the opportunity to submit questions concerns and so on to any potential vendor. The DOC Administration and its co-conspirator NASPO are fully legally and financially liable for the actions of all contracted vendors that are allowed to operate within the DOC system. The DOC allows these contracted vendors to behave in criminally- predatory in egregiously contemptible ways. They continue to increase the prices of all goods and merchandise and so on that is sold to our inmate population and everyone else who wants to help the inmate population by sending items from the DOC vendors. This is outrageously criminal extortion and fraud etc.It also is ethically and morally repugnant to say the least. The DOC should have to allow loved ones, family, friends and so on and others who wish to send us items from the doc approved vendor to pay the price every other citizen pays. This outrageous fraud by the doc has cost ordinary innocent taxpayer citizens of Wisconsin millions of. Dollars. By charging our inmate population so much for everything we need, DOC and its corrupt predatory vendors ensure that our inmate population has to ask someone outside the DOC system to buy items we can't afford ourselves. The Wisconsin Administration knows fully well that our intimate population can't afford most items in our vendor catalogs..This is deliberate extortion and fraud by the doc and its vendors. This causes significant hardship on our inmate population and others who try to help us survive this increasingly predatory and abusive incarceration. Someone needs to stop this. Sincerely concerned Todd l Thorud 226723 SCAM TWO Todd t h o r u d 226723 osci The k e e f e commissary Network (KCN) Sunday August 11th 2024 The Keefe commissary Network(KCN) is the devil! it is evil in all its forms, such as its subsidiaries Access Corrections, IC Solutions,etc. KCN and its subsidiaries have engaged in campaign/ criminal Enterprises and etc to criminally, predatorily prey etc upon the inmate population of Wisconsin Department of Corrections, city and county jails etc. . KCN has done this in 39 other states etc with the full complicity/ authority of the correction system in 40 + States, cities, counties, and other localities throughout the US. These states,, cities, counties and other localities have given KCN their complete permission to act, and behave as they wish with complete autonomy and impunity. As long as each state, city, County locality, gets its commissions and sales taxes and etc,they don't care what happens to the inmate population, our loved ones, friends , etc or any person who wants to help our inmate population Survive the increasingly difficult incarceration Within the correction system Nationwide. KCN and other similar- criminally predatory companies such as Union Supply Group, have preyed upon our inmate population and others who are trying to help us for Decades. (30plus years). They have violated our constitutional rights,,Our civil rights and our human rights. They've knowingly and purposefully extorted and defrauded our inmate population, costing us billions of dollars and and have caused our population to suffer in pain and misery for decades. While we have suffered these decades, we have asked for help from the DOC, the state government, the state court system, the State Legislative officials, the State Attorney General office etc, We have been dismissed, ignored, threatened, and punitively- harassed, antagonized intimidated and bullied to dissuade and deter us from challenging the DOC/ States failure protect us from any abuse or being taken advantage of by anyone, including the DOC and its employees, the state and its employees.etc. When the Wisconsin -DOC Administration and the state of Wisconsin decided to switch to a different tablet, they knew and were fully aware that our population would be losing all access and use of our ATG tablets and our media content. They knew that we would lose our significant investment in the tablet and media content that we owned. KCN had no intention of refunding our inmate population for the cost of the tablet or the media content that we owned Yet the DOC Administration kept lying to our inmate population, telling us that they were still working on the issue. They also allowed ATG(access-keefe) to keep selling the inmate population tablets and more media content even though they had no intention of refunding or reimbursing our inmate population for either the cost of our tablets or the media content that we purchased. They continue to do so to this date. This is egregious: fraud and extortion. We cannot use other vendors, we are forced to use these criminally predatory vendors no matter how they. treat us. Even though there is plenty of proof showing that Keiffe, KCN and Union Supply are abusing the inmate population throughout the US, the Wisconsin DOC Administration still chose to award KCN yet another contract. This so they can continue to exert and defraud our inmate population and our loved ones. We need help to stop this cycle of abuse and mistreatment; still forcing us to buy criminally overpriced Goods and merchandise; for decades more to come!
sincerely disgusted and frustrated, Todd l T h o r u d 226723

Bryant Howze, always under stress, is now experiencing severe retaliation

Racine Correctional Institution ( was in OSCI until recently, )
PO Box 189
Phoenix, MD 21131
b1969, 55yo
Bryant Howze, under extreme stress, suffering retaliation11524 update: late last month Bryant was transferred to RCI, he though to separate him from his friend, supposed "victim". that victim told the court he was not pressing changes and was not hurt, it was a some thing that happens all the time. Bryant has another hearing this week.
Bryant Howze has migraine headaches, finds prison life very stressful. The Health staff on and off again help him with botox shots etc but he has come to realize that finding ways to reduce his inner stress would be most helpful. unfortunately now finds himself in a truly scary situation. It goes like this:
1)he got into an argument with another prisoners, there were some blows.
2) One of the officers threw his entire body weight against Bryant in an effort to stop the fight. It toppled Bryant, who is a small man. The officer was big.
3)Bryant was injured , was put in the "Hole" ( solitary-disciplinary segregation) and not given any health care
4)Bryant filed inmate complaints and exhausted remedies on the incident, citing "use of excessive force". all complaints were dismissed .
5) When Bryan t got out of segregation, he found most of his property was gone.
6)The prison has filed charges against Bryant for the fight that started this whole thing even though the "victim" was not hurt and is not pressing charges AND has written and affidavit stating as much. The DOC continues to pursue this. Last week there was a court hearing canceled because the victim did not show up. Bryant waited for hours at the court house.
7) Bryant's stress is through the roof . He knows all this is retaliation for his filing complaints against the officer.
Letter from Bryant :

Winnebago County Case Number 2024CF000588
September 4, 2024
Hello,
I am very concerned for the well being of Bryan Howze, who has a hearing in your court on September 9th.
He suffers from Migraines because of stress and I have been trying to help him through our non profit's DEstress
project, sending him hobby supplies and wordsearch books which he enjoys.
Please let me share with you what I see. On June 4th Bryant and Robert Meyer began fighting,I guess Bryant was
"winning", when Officer Eddie Moore Jumped Bryant. Bryant says he "threw his whole body toward me from behind
like he was playing football. He plowed into me." There was no warning. Bryant was taken to the hole, was given no
nursing care and no x-rays and when he got out, much of his property was missing.
Bryant explains he is 55 and small and officer Moore is a large man. Bryant sustained injuries and still has trouble-
lots of pain in his back and he sometimes has trouble breathing . He filed complaints on the incident and all
were dismissed. Officer Moore says he slipped.
The bizarre thing is these charges the prison has filed charges against Bryant! Robert Meyer was not injured and
refuses to file charges. Officer Moore used excessive force, meaning there were lots of alternative actions possible.
It looks very much like this is an attempt to protect Officer Moore. It is in retaliation for Bryant's filing complaints.
Rather than pursuing this absurd path, I suggest the prison should use this incident to teach staff how to de-escalate
such incidents safely. Bryant needs x-rays on his back and nursing care, his property back.
I thank you for your attention.

I believe the charges against Bryant are fabricated in an attempt to protect office Moore and the prison. Instead
of admitting that excessive fore was used and using the incident as a teaching moment, they are going full scale assault on the victim. What I see is this: On June 4th Bryant and Robert Meyer began fighting, I guess Bryant was "winning", when Officer Eddie Moore Jumped Bryant. Bryant says he "threw his whole body toward me from behind like he was playing football. He plowed into me." There was no warning. Bryant was taken to the hole( segregation), was given no nursing care and no x-rays and when he got out, much of his property was missing.

lots of pain in his back and he sometimes has trouble breathing . He filed complaints on the incident and all

Robert Meyer was not injured and refuses to file charges as he was not hurt. Yet there is a court hearing on September 9th. And I believe this is a waste of your time and taxpayer’s money and a big turn in the wrong direction. This is retaliation against Bryant for filing a complaint against Officer Moore and may force him to take legal action. Honesty and accountability on the part of the prison is needed here instead.
