 background : today's date 5 7 24 not sleeping because cannot figure out where to go with crisis cases. My mail takes two to three weeks to get to prisoners now that we have third part mailing ( textbehind) and all incoming mail is sent first to be scanned and copied in Maryland. They have new tablets which at my last attempt do not have a way for me to have an account for the whole system- I cannot sign up for each individual prisoner and all the rest is cobble-have to establish regular communication with the most vulnerable prisoners- those in Green Bay and Waupun. My phone is ringing non stop throughout the day and I answer some-it is arbitrary who I answer as I have no way to tell who is calling -thru a newsletter will try to establish office hours.  Deaths- there have been 6 deaths in WCI since pandemic.

Mental Health WIDOC style the basics

-
Here is a primer on solitary in WI, where many if not most the mentally ill in our state wind up. There is no treatment for the mentally ill in our maximum security prisoners and very little effective in mediums. Most end up in solitary for rule  infraction and because they keep acting out, they get more time in solitary and then are release to the streets. Many many are returned quickly because the WIDOC can reincarcerate for rule violations/ non felonies. It is an exquisitely crafted system for super money hungry sadists but one that is disastrous for the public which foots the bill. The final heart break for activists and families and friends alike are the suicides while in prison and especially after release.    This report was done a year before the pandemic- conditions have worsened and I will put in new comments within, telling of those who have since died or, thankfully, are making it:    TORTURE IN WISCONSIN PRISONS:  https://drive.google.com/file/d/1juVBlFcmH0OcYpu53- XbEfckr
