Bryant Howze, under extreme stress, suffering retaliation 

11524 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.

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.

Hello,

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.

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.

 Robert Meyer was not injured and refuses to file charges as he was not hurt. Yet there is a court hearing on September 9^th. 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.
