to Whom It May Concern,
Hello, My Name is Mark Anthony Harris and I am a inmate at Green Bay
Correctional Institution where the issue that I am going to state occurred. So, on December 26th,
2024 ,I was housed in the segregation unit and was offered the chance of going outside for
recreation. The correctional officer then escorted me outside to the designated recreation area
outside. As soon as I stepped foot outside the cold weather hits me immediately, I then asked
the correctional officer if I could go back inside. The correctional officer then tells me "no, and
that I will have to stay out here until half time and he will come back and get me ". Well the
correctional officer had full knowledge of how cold it was outside and also, that I did not have
the proper protection on my feet that I would need to stay outside in that cold weather and not
be harmed or in harm's way. The only thing I had on my feet were a pair of ankle socks with
holes in them and a pair of open toed/foot shower sandals. With the full knowledge of this the
correctional officer recklessly ignored it. At about 20 minutes of me being outside I then started
to feel the effect the cold weather played on my unprotected feet. I started to yell out to the
correctional officer that brought me out there or any correctional officer attention to bring me
back inside. My cries for help went ignored. At the half time point (which is 1 hour out of the 2
hours) when the officer said he was going to come back out to get me was ignored as well. The
officer recklessly with no regard of my health and well-being left me outside for the full 2 hour
recreation period! At about 2 hours of me being outside the unit sergeant at the time came
outside to escort me back inside as we were coming in I informed the sergeant that I could not
feel my toes and asked to be seen by the HSU staff. As I was doing that the sergeant then made
a statement that I was not supposed to be outside without the right feet protection and that he
will inform the HSU staff to see me. Time went on and I was never seen by the HSU staff for my
injuries so, I then took it upon myself to fill out the proper form to request to be seen by the
HSU staff. I filed an inmate complaint against the officer who left me outside and then was
informed by the inmate complaint examiner, that the unit sergeant from that day lied, and never
put in the request to the HSU staff that I needed medical attention.
Hello, I am reaching out to you in search of counsel. I am currently an inmate here at GreenBay. I then went from January 3 or so all the way until April without being treated by the HSU provider for the frostbite. In between that time HSU disregarded the fact that I needed to be seen for treatment and instead gave me the run around. I was being told that I was on the waiting list to be seen for treatment one minute and the next that I wasn't on the list at all to be seen. I contacted HSU multiple times (5 or more) informing them on the pain and discomfort I was going through and was still being
ignored of my request for medical treatment. My inmate complaint that I filed to exhaust all of
my administrative remedies was "affirmed" and I have my paper work showing me reaching out
to Hsu and the responses they were giving me. Now all I need is representation to help me file a
1983 civil suit. Thank you for your time and I ask that you please contact me back on these
matters even if it's to say that you are not able to provide me the assistance.
