Hello,
I am writing to alert
you to a dangerous situation. Jim smith is 76 years old- very small and bad
heart and is in extreme danger now in WCI. I second a request that he be moved
as soon as possible. We request a move to WSPF but anywhere will be an
improvement. Let explain: For about a
year Jim Smith has been writing FFUP advocate Peg Swan, at first
complaining of routine rapes by a gay guard and when this guard was
transferred, he complained that officer Moungey regularly open his cell door to
let other inmates in to rape him. Efforts to get help were met with severe
retaliation including meal and meds denial and punches to his stomach ( not
visible).Ms Swan spent much time trying unsuccessfully to get forensic testing
done after assaults and we wonder how inmates can be called liars when they are
given no way to prove their allegations.
Now Jim Smith faces extortion
and beatings. He was told he was going to GBCI and is afraid the intention is to
kill him before that happens. Here is his statement: “I been told by three
different inmates the last couple of days that staves [staff] are recruiting
inmates to give me a good beating before I leave Waupun; if so I will most
likely die... since [my] heart is in real bad shape so I thought I had better
tell you so if something dire happens to me”
In his next letter he writes about being bludgeoned in the head form
behind causing three inch welt. He tells of two extortion letters demanding he
purchase Canteen items for them or face more beatings. Final letter states he
believes move has been cancelled.
Part of the reason for
believing him is the 2014 series on Assaults at WCI in which Moungey and Beahm
were cited in most of 40 assault complaints. After a few months of window
dressing changes, WCI seems to be back to old ways, only this time most victims
know better than to complain. Jim’s case is different in that he will not hide.
He cannot stand any more
assaults and needs protection and a fresh start. A move to WSPF is best but any
prison is fine. I do not expect you to believe me or him- moving this man
a.s.a.p. is simply prudent and just.--
I thank you for your attention.

From letter
9-15-16
Background- been working with him for almost a year trying
to stop ongoing rapes. They have morphed- first was by one gay guard who has
been transferred. Since then Mounguey.(M) ( Guard made infamous in 2014
Wisconsin Watch articles . He was named in majority for 40 complaints/lawsuits
on guard assaults) had been orchestrating assaults by inmates. M opens Smith’s
door and lets them in. After trying to get action failed, I worked on getting
him transferred to WSPF (which always has room and is the one prison with well
trained guards I am told by inmates). Instead, the plan is to transfer him to
GBCI-which is at least out of WCI..
Present problem: Guards are organizing
prisoners to regularly beat Jim in an effort to see he never leaves WCI. The
prisoners have twice given him list of canteen items he is suppose to buy them
or they will regularly beat him? Jim has been beaten a lot to stop him from
complaining-usually “bivwacked”- punched in the gut where it does not show.
Last letter he was attacked from behind- did not see the guy and ended with a 3
inch head wound. I have made the rounds with a “PREA “report asking for
independent investigation of rape allegations and protection for Jim. Talked to
new, good nurse at WCI and tried to tell her what was going on and she said: “I
can’t know that: I have to work here.”
From Letter: 9-15,9-18 2016: Inserted
in letter was note listing canteen items worth 39$ given him by another inmate
(extortion) and “cognitive Behavior plan ”listing getting a job as goal
“Dear Peg, Today is Thursday and I’m
writing through Sunday as marked above. Received their page Wednesday night at
mail time from when at social services yesterday-when told ( I am to go)back to
Green Bay. Yeah , they’re putting super pressure on me using inmates as you can see from the note inserted from c-56
inmate next to me which is totally absurd, crazy, as I do not have any money
and if I did I surely wouldn’t buy him $39.89 of canteen items regardless what
including death as death doesn’t mean a thing to me like a rat’s ass to be
Risque(?). In the case plan page I asked for cognitive behavior (ral)? And of
acquiring a job which is to go to Green Bay on the computer which is transferred
just before I go……(worries that he will not get any caring nurse at GBCI after
finally getting a good one at WCI)
Went to HSU for EKG:”Told my heart
was really bad, a blockage, off beat, etc, and that I should of died long ago
and hopefully that I would to save the state and institution money-verbatim as
told me by nurse Sandy Rymarkiewicz, the mother of Captain Rymarkiewicz that is
of security and the north Cell Hall supervisor
too, one that denied all my inmate complaints and constantly lied to
me..all facts, not at all any fabrication. I should if been sent to a better
institution long ago instead of always lied about and put down, assaulted. All
the bivwhacking, kicks, punches over the years caused this all and now I’m to
die and save the state money. All this evil crap, meanness, etc proves to me
there’s no such thing as a decent God, Jesus etc, it’s all pure bullshit, but
let’s say he did exist then he’s one evil, nasty God. Told to not expect to live
much longer. Peg, wish I could of been transferred where you asked me to go so
I could have seen you at least once, but you know Heise of Director
of..movement wouldn’t approve it. See what the evil police did in Waukesha
jail-turned off all water in the inmate’s cell and let him die of dehydration
and it will be called appropriate justice. Evil, evil people…….
Again, I been told by three
different inmates the last couple of days that staves (staff)are recruiting
inmates to give me a good beating before I leave Waupun; if so I will most
likely die if hit in the heart area since heart is in real bad shape so I
thought I had better tell you so if something dire happens to me, I’m mailing
this Sunday so you’ll know what’s going on.”

T Smith 17901 WCI; Monday 9 -19-16
“I was put back on A-tier but #16
this time… Moved a little after 12 noon and approximately couple hours later
got hit in the head above the forehead a couple inches and have about a three
inch long lump which really hurt and still did for the rest of the day… As
promised the evilness struck and I did not see whom hit me as was all dizzy,
and burred for awhile. Said, told, if I complain I’ll get much more and a
conduct report saying it was self inflicted along with the bruises; so I can’t
win, only more suffering….If I do not get out of here soon, I’m done as this
assaulting has gotten real serious..I hardly slept all night
with my head pain, But doin’ the best I know
how to do considering all the hateful stuff.
Here’s the note/list given to me
by some inmate. LO! I send you these items to keep to use as proof. There’s inmates
that get extorted, assaulted, et cetera things all the time
Tuesday: not doing all that well
since yesterday. After I went to showers about 8:30 pm and when I came back the
guy that was next to me in c-56 came to me door and said there’s a hit on me if
I do not get the canteen but I just ignored all and no longer care about
threats, as I am ready to accept whatever happens regardless of life as I am
tired at all the evil living. Well, no classification to move as told but I ‘m
used to their lies and sadistic crap. I guess I will need more help getting out
of here as told by a CO, that the institution wants me here to regret causing
problems for security. That is all I heard today but seriously waiting another
attack as I know it is coming. No mail today
