the major irony and tragedy in GBCI and all WI DOC prisons is that at
least a third of the inmates are mentally ill and needing treatment. There is none to speak of. Severe overcrowding and lack of staff make even psychologist or psychiatrist visits infrequent.
one of the descriptions of segregation conditions comes from an inmate in CCI.
With no meaningful activities that would help them vent their feelings, many inmates turn their attention to harming themselves- usually cutting- and instead of treatment they get more time in segregation as punishment. This is against the rules supposedly, but it happens a lot. Here is a link to one such conduct report:

Leighton Lindsey letter to all
I am still recovering from my cuts and lacerations I really
cut myself up bad on 8 4 16 and 8 9 16.My wrist ,legs and stomach , arm us all
cut up, then I had to deal with nurses who refused to suture and stitch some of
the deep cuts that have now formed KEYLOIDS that hurt like hell and nasty
scaring that could have been prevented>worst health care every. They are
lazy, unethical and uncaring with health services. Damn near every appointment
I have with health services I find myself battling ,arguing, debating against
the GBCI health services>toward the end of this year on 8-9-2016 when I cut
myself up a psychological associate named Scott Forges gave me a spoon told me
to slice my wrists. He took me off observation suicide watch lying saying I
told him I was not suicidal. I will definitely be suing him.
N-E-Ways I was in a very deep state of depression. I could not write and barely got out of bed
or worked on any of my lawsuits however I am better now>after reading your
last newsletter about copper contaminating Waupun water I’m wondering if I was
there for 6 months maybe am suffering from contamination or whether I have
symptoms or health problems. it’s scary to know that the department of
corruption knew about the contamination and kept it to themselves putting
inmates at risk.
Anyhow it’s sad and never get to write you and tell you good
news. One would think my stories must be made up because they are always filled
with sadness and pain. But is night mare has been my reality for many years as
my family and friends have died and faded away. My health has worsened and
health services are being deliberately indifferent towards me. There’s just a
cluster of problems I am going through.
When I first got locked up in 2007 I had support and$ but
as the years disappeared so did the
support and $.It did not help that I continued t receive additional time for
catching new charges which pissed people off.
And some support would help take pressure off the suffering,
the stress, anxiety and depression that I feel
daily. Its so bad that I have fallen behind on a lot of my litigation
and I have to force myself to work and it’s not easy because the medication I’m
prescribed-sometimes I don’t take it because it makes me tired and sleepy and
the medication I am prescribed for depression sometimes I don’t take because of
uncomfortable side effects, peg, I feel I am at the end of my rope and I’ll no
longer be putting up protests about everything and every prisoners issues. It
is taking up too much of my time and receiving no reward. I will focus on the
inhumane issues but that is all I can afford to do no . I ‘m exhausted and broke. When things are rough I
have no one to lean on for support. Everyone wants something but no one wants
to provide help when needed except you and even though you help you are still
limited in the help you can give.//Goes on to ask me to try to find his stepbrother.
I’ve been locked up for over ten years. I have no tv or
radio pr the luxury of owning personal specific magazines and books is
nonexistent to me. I don’t have that pleasure. Its time to try to reach out and
network to avoid the pitfalls of deep depression-cutting myself and going
through with suicide. I’d never cut myself but 2 days in one week last month it
was easy.peg, I can’t keep suffering like this. I’m close to giving up. I’ve got to find a way to gain support. Asks I help him find
his step brother and friends..

You have constitutional right to
be placed in a non punitive status when U inform staff you’re having thoughts
of self harm and when engaged in acts of self harm. If you are not placed in
clinical observation status but placed into control status which is a punitive
status U may have grounds for a lawsuit. Be sure to file complaints any time
this happens to you and be very detailed in your complaint and include names of
all staff involved. Also be sure to write to psychological services and
describe the events so that the issue is documented> Security can’t
circumvent policies regarding suicide-self harm prevention by using control
status as a way to punish U to discourage you from requesting to be placed in
clinical Observation.
Rules to change
Changes requested:” The AC
Proposal is solid and definitely a work of perfection-“
Bag meal restriction is something that’s inhumane. Each
prison is different due to what meals are put in the bags. Some prisons only
place sandwiches-fruit. No soupy liquidy meals in paper bags. Others ensure
that liquids-soupy meals are in containers then placed within the bags GBCI is
adamant on being inhumane as much as possible to segregation prisoners.
Prisoners on clinical observation and control status being
escorted throughout segregation barefoot is a matter I’d like to see changed .
Making prisoners on clinical observation status dry off
their bodies with paper towels is a matter that needs to change-
Giving prisoners on control status only a waist to knee length kilt to wear-no
socks-no mattress-shirt-underwear-or security blanket in cold weather or in any
weather is inhumane especially over periods of 8 or more hours.
