Just an FYI on Intel we got today. I would check your systems and databases for Randall Paul Mayhugh, of Terre Haute, IN. Mr. Mayhugh poses as a Union member for a group that call themselves Industrial Workers of the world (IWW). Let know if you find anything. Be safe

------

Looks like Leonard McQuay and one of his outside associates are attempting to facilitate involve my in this movement. I know offender McQuay quite well and it doesn't surprise me that we would try to initiate this type of action.

We are monitoring his correspondence and all mail agency wide, regarding this event. Other than this recent event and a flier confiscated in mail at Miami Correctional Facility; we have not received any indications that IDOC will be affected.

62 I will be discussing this issue via planning session next week. Currently we are considering placing all Maximum and Medium security male facilities on restricted movement during the September 9thweekend.

Subject: Work Stoppage

Good afternoon,

I felt compelled to apprise you of some information that may be beneficial to you and the fusion center. You may already be aware. If so, please disregard. Over the past couple of weeks our Facility mailroom staff have been receiving and reviewing correspondence from a guy named Randall Paul Mayhugh, of Terre Haute, IN. Mr. Mayhugh poses as a Union member for a group that call themselves Industrial Workers of the world (IWW). Our mailroom staff have confiscated nearly 100 of the incoming flyers (attached), all to different inmates located at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

As you can see within this particular flyer is a massive promotion advocating the offender work stoppage on September 9, 2016. One such offender receiving this correspondence is Leonard McQuay # 874304. Leonard McQuay is a very influential inmate, who killed a correctional officer many years ago. McQuay is also a confirmed member of the Vice Lords Security Threat Group.

Mr. Mayhugh recently submitted a visitation application to visit Leonard McQuay. The application was approved. Gleaned intelligence suggests that Mr. Mayhugh will be attempting to visit offender Mayhugh either on August 19, 2016 or August 21, 2016. We are in the process of disallowing this visit, due to Mr. Mayhugh's direct involvement supporting the work stoppage.

A quick review of OIS confirms that Mayhugh has not visited any offender within the IDOC previously. He does J-Pay with Leonard McQuay and a Kim Baldwin # 151763 at the Rockville prison. We are in process of reviewing additional J-Pay messages. The bulk of the messages pertain to McQuay requesting assistance from Mayhugh to post things on Facebook and a "go fund me page". We have not found anything about the September 9thwork stoppage.

Currently, we have not confirmed that the offenders located at this facility are planning a work stoppage. Additionally, we are not certain what Mayhugh and McQuay's agenda consists of. However, since we have confirmation that Mayhugh is promoting the work stoppage we plan to place a visitation restriction on him and revoke his J-Pay access. With that being said, should we allow the visit and attempt to record their meeting since we aren't really sure what is going on with the work stoppage, state-wide?

We have not interviewed McQuay, as he has no idea that we are on to their antics. We will await further instruction from your office on how to proceed.

63 Please advise.

Thanks,

Rob

We in Philadelphia are upgrading our jail management/inmate location system and are looking to include armbands with bar codes. If your prisons/jail system 64 uses bar code armbands please let me know the manufacturer and how well they have functioned under normal use. Is the administration satisfied with the armbands?

SPREADING THE STRIKE: SOLIDARITY ACTIONS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA FOR SEPTEMBER 9TH

August 16, 2016

Originally published to It’s Going Down Add Your Event: info[at]itsgoingdown[dot]org

People are organizing across the United States and the world in order to stand in the streets in solidarity with those locked behind bars who will strike on September 9th against prison slavery. Already, a wide range of actions have taken place in the run up to the strike. This includes large scale flyering and street propaganda campaigns, banner drops, noise demonstrations outside of jails and detention facilities, and informational events. All of this activity helps to build the capacity of the strike to bring in more people who can take an active role, as well as spread information about the struggle being waged by prisoners on the inside. These actions also bring many organizations, crews, and individuals together that before have previously never worked side by side and helps expose white supremacy as both a system of social control and racial apartheid and an apparatus of management that facilitates the creation of billions of dollars of profits.

In order to better prepare for the strike, here we are going to create a regularly updated page that includes a diary of actions and a list of events and mobilizations leading up to and around the 9th. We know that many events are still in the works, so when you are ready, either submit an event here or email us at: info[at]itsgoingdown[dot]org. In this way, we hope to build a large, multi-faceted, and extremely diverse resistance movement that can support and expand the strike against prison slavery that will continue to take shape on September 9th and beyond.

FYI, please be discreet about sharing this information, not for inmate’s eyes but for your awareness.

Wisconsin as well as the rest of the US should treat this as a terrorist organization, especially if they are encouraging violence and disturbances.

These types of behaviors and encouragement to defy staff authority are dangerous to all staff.

Here is a new direction in response to the previous e-mail I sent out regarding these flyers.

From: Saunders, Michael D - DOC Sent: Thursday, June 09, 2016 1:07 PM To: DOC DL DAI Wardens Only; DOC DL DAI Deputy Wardens; DOC DL DAI Security Dir; DOC DL DAI Institutional Complaint Examiners Cc: Jess, Cathy A - DOC; Schwochert, James R - DOC; Clements, Marc W - DOC; Hove, Stephanie R - DOC; Ariss, Katharine A - DOC Subject: IWW/IWOC Publications

As you already know, we have seen a large amount of mail flooding into our institution Mailrooms for the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW)/Incarcerated Worker Organizing Committee (IWOC) to inmates. Much of the information in the flyers appears to be inflammatory and at first read one would think not allowed. However, unless the material calls for a “strike” or “uprising” or advises when and how inmates should do so, it cannot be “blanket” denied.

This organization is crafty. They are sending in various versions of flyers. Some have been allowed per code, some have been denied. Each version of the flyer should be looked at on a case-by-case basis. If there are questions, don’t hesitate to contact Mark Weisgerber or myself. We realize this is frustrating, but some of the materials are allowable per code and to blanket deny them is not advisable. Please continue to monitor the institution climate in regard to this flyer. Thank you, Mike Saunders.

[Control Units] [Campaigns] [Hunger Strike] [Waupun Correctional Institution] [Wisconsin] Prisoners Plan Hunger Strike to Protest Wisconsin Long Term Isolation

by MIM(Prisons) April 2016 permalink Waupun solitary confinement cell

149 Wisconsin prisoners at Waupun Correctional Institution are planning a hunger strike to begin on 10 June 2016 to demand an end to the torture of long-term confinement in control units in Wisconsin.

In 2015, the Wisconsin Department of Corrections (WI DOC) made some policy changes to their use of long-term solitary confinement. According to the DOC, the number of prisoners in "restrictive status housing" was reduced by about 200 by reducing the maximum time prisoners can be put in control units (which varies depending on the justification given for this isolation). The WI DOC refused to release any information about these changes until compelled by records requests, and the total number of prisoners in control units reported by the DOC is highly suspicious as it is far lower than information gathered from surveys.(1) In addition, Waupun prisoners were not notified of the change to this policy, and months later were still being held for longer than the new regulations allowed.(2) It's unclear if the new policy is being applied uniformly across Wisconsin prisons at this point, but small reductions in the length of solitary confinement sentences will not solve the fundamental problem of this system of torture.

The actual policies are available on the Wisconsin DOC website and include a table listing maximum time in "disciplinary separation" for various offenses. This includes 180 days for "lying" and 360 days for "lying about an employee", 180 days for "disrespect" and 180 days for "Misuse of state or federal property." These are all easily abused accusations that prisoners are powerless to dispute. Furthermore, a Wisconsin prisoner can be put in a control unit for up to 180 days for "punctuality and attendance" issues and "loitering" and up to 90 days for "poor personal hygiene", "dirty assigned living area," and "improper storage."(3) The policy also states "More than one minor or major disposition may be imposed for a single offense and both a major and minor disposition may be imposed for a major offense" which sounds like they can just pile on lots of offenses and sum up the total max days in isolation so that prisoners are held there for years.

The demands of this protest include the release of prisoners who have been in solitary confinement for over a year, a length of isolation far exceeding what is commonly considered torture by international human rights organizations.

As one prisoner reported to Under Lock & Key a few years ago:

"I have reasons to believe that these people have no plans of removing me off A.C. ... They have me in the worst conditions in the Wisconsin DOC. ... It is fly infested. I have black worms coming out of the sink. We can't have publications.

"I have been in seg for over 13 years. and I haven't given these people any trouble in a long time, and what I'm in seg for is solely political. I am being punished for organizing for Black Unity and against institutional racism. I simply created organizations that advocated the advancement of Black people and that fought against Black on Black crime, poverty, ignorance, etc. It wasn't created to terrorize white people, as the totalitarian state would have you believe.

"As a result of being in seg I have developed a long range of psychological issues, issues that have left me scarred permanently. These issues have caused some professionals to label me psychotic and delusional among other things. I was diagnosed with Delusional Disorder and am being treated for it."(4)

It is well documented that long term isolation causes mental health problems including hallucinations and delusions. This technique is used in prisons like Guantanamo Bay to torture military prisoners into making confessions (or making up confessions for the many innocents who suffer this torture). 150 But in the Amerikan prison system this torture merely serves to slowly erode the health of prisoners who are either confined to waste away for the rest of their life or released back to the streets unable to care for themselves.

The petition put together by prisoners at Waupun is printed in full below:

Dying to Live

Human rights fight at Waupun Correctional Institution starting June 10, 2016. Prisoners in Waupun's solitary confinement will start No Food & Water humanitarian demand from Wisconsin Department of Corrections officials.

The why: In the state of Wisconsin hundreds of prisoners are in the long term solitary confinement units AKA Administrative Confinement (AC). Some been in this status from 18 to 20 years concurrently.

The Problem: The UN, several states, and even President Obama have come out against this kind of confinement citing the torturous effect it has on prisoners.

The Objective: Stop the torturous use of confinement - long term SC (AC) by:

1. Placing a legislative cap on the use of long term solitary confinement (AC) 2. DOC and Wis. legislators adopt/compliance of the UN Mandela rules on the use of solitary confinement(5) 3. Oversight board/committee independent of DOC to stop abuse and overclassification of prisoners to "short" and 'long" term solitary confinement. 4. Immediate transition and release to a less restrictive housing of prisoners who been on the long term solitary confinement units for more than a year in the Wis DOC 5. Proper mental health facilities and treatment of "short" and "long" term solitary confinement prisoners 6. An immediate FBI investigation to the secret Asklepieion* program the DOC is currently operating at Columbia Correctional Institution to break any prisoner who the DOC considers a threat to their regimen

How you can help

1. Call Governor Scott Walker's office and tell him to reform the long-term solitary confinement units in the Wisconsin DOC and to stop the secret Asklepieion program at once. The number to call is 608-266-1212. 2. Call the DOC central office and demand that all 6 humanitarian demands for this hunger strike be meet and demand an explanation as to why they are operating a torture program. The number to call is 608-240-5000. 3. Call the media and demand that they do an independent investigation on the secret Asklepieion program operating at Columbia Correctional Institution, and cover this hunger strike.

151 4. Call the FBI building in Milwaukee Wisconsin and demand that they investigate the secret Asklepieion torture program being run at CCI. The phone number to call is 414-276-4684 5. Call Columbia Correctional Institution and tell them you are aware of their secret torture program. Harass them! 608-742-9100 6. Join in on the hunger strike and post it on the net. Convince others to join as well.

* Asklepieion is a secret DOC torture program based upon Dr. Edgar H. Schein's brainwashing methodology that in the 1960 was disguised and turned into a Behavior Therapy Treatment program that deals with the literal brainwashing and enslavement of an individual's mind. It retrogresses the individual to the character role of a child and reinforces the need for paternal authority. To achieve such effect the prison authorities, with the help of collaborating inmates, must first break the individual's mind through sleep deprivation and character invalidation techniques, and then, recondition it with Stockholm Syndrom.

Notes: 1. The The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reports that 1,500 inmates are held in segregation, while MIM(Prisons) own survey counts 1,800. These numbers are much higher than what the WIDOC is reporting even before the supposed reduction in 2015. 2.

Were you made aware of all this information at the time it occurred? I would be interested in Dante Cottingham’s letter – not sure I heard about that. Also trying to balance how much of this was down played at JCI but may have been embellished at the meeting to appear more significant.

JCI – Lt. Burlingame reports Institution Population: 980 Percentage of Population with STG Affiliation: 25%  Dramatic increase in Satanic materials being found. I/M Racette, Beau #531481 was found to be in possesion of several pages of material that was Satanic in nature. These materials included incantations, rituals invoking the pentagram of the earth, magic squares and drawings of Talismans and Sigils and printed materials that dealt with Evoking your Planetary Spirit using the Evocation of Bartzabel (Aleistar Crowley). Another search was done on his property and a book was found that was labled "Grimores". I/M Racette claimed this was his "Book of Shadows". This book was reviewed by Chaplain Myron Olson and found to contain spells, rituals and curses. Chaplain Olson verified that this was not Pagan nor any other recognized religion and it was Satanic in nature. Chaplain Olson also verified that I/M Racette was not listed as Pagan, however he was listed as Native American. When interviewed I/M Racette admitted to following the Left Handed path specifically that of Aleistar Crowley.

 I/M Loesch, Christopher #283091 found in posession of drawings of a Baphomet  I/M Fields, Christopher #433404 found in posession of Baphomet with a Satanic image in the middle of it.  I/M Alverado, Jorge #465096 was found to be in posession of materials that are consistent with the "Vallucos" . I/M Alvarado was identified as according to his PSI. It was clear with the drawings and after interviewing the inmate that he is now Vallucos  I/M Hart, Nathan #475011, identified as a attempted to send out a letter with numerous references to the

There is some information circulating on the internet reference to activities of September 9 and September 10, 2016. Information indicates the following:

1. September 9th, supporters of the prison strike and the Dying to Live Hunger Strike will gather to celebrate and mobilize support for the large solidarity march to occur on September 10, 2016. This gathering will occur in Garden Park, Milwaukee. 2. September 10, 2016. There is a planned solidarity march to occur at MSDF from 2pm to 4pm. This march will protest the use of solitary confinement, protest prison slavery, and protest white supremacy. 3. The Milwaukee IWW ( Industrial Workers of the World) also posted the following: “In Wisconsin we are expecting hunger strikes and protests more than work stoppages. The Waupun hunger strike may still be happening otherwise we don’t know of any specific actions. Information has been sent to multiple facilities but we don’t know what exactly the prisoners are organizing. “

I’ve included everyone that I have been communicating with on this issue, and hope I am answering everyone’s questions.

Steve, Over the past 5 to 7 years, the MNDOC has seen a great increase in hybrid gangs and their members being incarcerated. They are difficult to identify and manage as they constantly switch gangs and gang names and often will work with their rivals to commit their crimes and disruptive activities. They do not conform to the traditional gang structure. Specific to “extremists”, we have several offenders claiming to be Sovereign Citizens and conducting the false liens, fraudulent paperwork schemes associated with those groups. We have Validated only one specific group as a Security Threat Group (STG), the Republic united States of America (RuSA). We also have several of our Black Peace Stone gang members, who attend Moorish Science Temple of America religious services, who also claim to be Sovereign Moors, and are very anti-government.

We have not identified any offenders who we believe are actual members of any of the identified terrorist groups like A-Qaeda, ISIL or Al-Shabab etc. We treat all of them the same, even when they have been validated as belonging to a specific STG, their housing, work assignments, etc. would be determined by their behavior, treatments/educational needs, etc. Our Intelligence Investigators monitor all offenders to assist Administrative staff with classification and placement of the offenders.

17 Emily, Adam, Steven, William, Hunter and Jeremy, As indicated below, I met with our Corrections Industries (MINNCOR) leadership this past Monday to be briefed by them. They reported that in conversations with their civilian employees as well as their offender employees, they are hearing that there is no intent for a work stoppage or disturbance of any kind. Keeping in mind that these are the most well paid offender employees, who are also provided through this work with employment opportunities upon release, this isn’t the group to be the most concerned with. I’m most concerned with those offenders who are just disgruntled with being incarcerated, don’t really understand what the issues are and how to make positive changes, who may act out violently if any type of protest occurs.

My Director and I will be meeting next Monday with the Prison Industries (MINNCOR) leadership, Emergency Management Coordinator and SOG/SORT Commander, to discuss possible disruptive activities and develop a plan to handle those situations both at our prisons or at our Central Office or other sites.

I’ve attached a couple of recent Social Media posts, and documents mailed to offenders, related to the IWW/IWOC, National Prison Strike. I will continue to provide updates to this group.

From: Wierenga, Steven L - DOC [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, August 15, 2016 3:02 PM To: Rothstein, Don (DOC) Cc: Gerlicher, Cari (DOC) Subject: Inmates with extremist / terrorist related associations

Don,

WI DOC is seeing an increase in the number of inmates that no longer fit the “classical” street gang STG definition and have now been classified as extremists.

I ’m wondering if you have any incarcerated inmates in your facilities that have been designated as a KST (known or suspected terrorists / extremists)? If so, do you housed them in one location, do you rotate placement throughout your facilities, have any special monitoring procedures, etc…? We are looking for a “best practice” here to mitigate potential security issues, protect staff, and prevent further radicalization of other inmates, while still maintaining an individual’s rights.

Any help would be appreciated.

19 Good morning Kobie and Don,

Great job on your brief! I am finishing my bulletin up and just wanted to make sure I can you the info you guys provided me. See below. I believe the majority of it I got from the brief but there might be sentence or two that I got from Don. We have had a lot of issues lately with people taking our information out of context and then putting it in their bulletins and I want to make sure I am not doing that ☺ Please let me know if I can put the info in my bulletin, thanks!!

(U//LES) Between December 2015 and July 2016, all 10 Minnesota Department of Corrections facilities recovered NPS propaganda from the Minnesota IWOC chapter and the Kansas City IWOC chapter―the alleged IWOC Headquarters. Three offenders at one facility have been identified as becoming IWOC members, and shared their meeting minutes with The First of May Group―an anarchist alliance. It is believed that Minnesota IWOC organizers have par cipated in demonstrations where property damage and conflicts with law enforcement have erupted.

Nothing new from the Minnesota DOC. I’m meeting with our Corrections Industries (MINNCOR) tomorrow morning for a briefing from them. They have been gathering information from their state employees as well as their offender employees, regarding any talk of their participating in any activity on September 9th. What they have heard as of last week was that offenders don’t want anything to do with a work stoppage or other disruptive activity. Remembering that these are the most well paid offenders incarcerated in Minnesota, these aren’t the offenders I am most concerned about. It’s the more radical, unemployed offenders who are just upset with being incarcerated.

I will update this group tomorrow after our briefing.

Good afternoon gentlemen,

I am inquiring about any updated info y’all might have on the National Prison Strike. I am currently working on an updated bulletin for our LES distro. Please keep this info between the three of us for now but we are seeing an influx of NPS propaganda and IWOC apps within CDCR institutions. It appears they are targeting our high level gang members and associates. I am wondering if y’all are seeing this trend as well? If so, would you mind sharing your intel so I can include it in my bulletin? I am happy to share our intel as well, I just need to get my bulletin up the chain of command before anything is approved for your distro ☺ Thanks and stay safe!

I’m attaching some of the literature and information (below links) I have gathered regarding the IWW and IWOC that we talked about. I will be working with Kobie Hudson in the next week to put together an RFI through the Minnesota Fusion Center. I would appreciate that we work together on this project and keep each other informed as we move forward before disseminating any of this information. I will be briefing the Minnesota Department of Corrections administrative leadership next Wednesday, and want to make sure I have their support before sharing any specifics, as there are political ramifications involved.

• The literature being mailed to offenders has all been similar, being Issues 3 and 4 of The Incarcerated Worker. Mailings have been received at all of our ten (10) facilities, from December 2015 through May 2016. • Initial mailings were a “bulk mailing” attempt from the Minnesota IWOC (Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee), and utilized the return address of First of May, Publisher and Distributor, PO Box 581561, Minneapolis , MN 55458-1561. These mailings were disallowed as a threat to security. • Subsequent mailings have been hand written and addressed, containing IWOC literature as well as personal, hand written messages, and several contained IWOC Complaint Forms. The return address remained the First of May. • Several mailings also came from the “IWOC Headquarters” IWOC, PO Box 414304, Kansas City, MO, 64126, with some of those being subscription of The Incarcerated Worker publication. • Several offenders have sent responding correspondence to The First of May, indicating some of the mailings and literature has been received and shared amongst incarcerated offenders. • A group of three (3) offenders at one facility has been identified as having become IWOC members, have met at least once as an IWOC,and shared their meeting minutes with The First of May group in Minneapolis.

• The IWW has been around since 1905, with the IWOC having been a more recent part of that organization. They are white, black, Hispanic, Asian and all welcoming. • They are basically anti-prison; the poor, the uneducated, people of color and disenfranchised, are being incarcerated for extensive period of time as slave labor for the benefit of the “employer”. • They are offering free membership to incarcerated individuals, to join their “union of incarcerated workers”. • They are encouraging all incarcerated individuals around the world, to unite in a show of solidarity, and strike or refuse to work and demonstrate on September 9, 2016. • They have taken up the cause for several groups and individuals: 1. Chrishaun “Ce Ce” McDonald, a transgender, Black female, who has been working with Laverne Cox, a transgender, Black female, who is an actress in “Orange is the New Black”, the NETFLIX prison show.

I’ve included everyone that I have been communicating with on this issue, and hope I am answering everyone’s questions.

Steve,

Over the past 5 to 7 years, the MNDOC has seen a great increase in hybrid gangs and their members being incarcerated. They are difficult to identify and manage as they constantly switch gangs and gang names and often will work with their rivals to commit their crimes and disruptive activities. They do not conform to the traditional gang structure. Specific to “extremists”, we have several offenders claiming to be Sovereign Citizens and conducting the false liens, fraudulent paperwork schemes associated with those groups. We have Validated only one specific group as a Security Threat Group (STG), the Republic united States of America (RuSA). We also have several of our Black Peace Stone gang members, who attend Moorish Science Temple of America religious services, who also claim to be Sovereign Moors, and are very anti-government.

Emily, Adam, Steven, William, Hunter and Jeremy,

As indicated below, I met with our Corrections Industries (MINNCOR) leadership this past Monday to be briefed by them. They reported that in conversations with their civilian employees as well as their offender employees, they are hearing that there is no intent for a work stoppage or disturbance of any kind. Keeping in mind that these are the most well paid offender employees, who are also provided through this work with employment opportunities upon release, this isn’t the group to be the most concerned with. I’m most concerned with those offenders who are just disgruntled with being

25 incarcerated, don’t really understand what the issues are and how to make positive changes, who may act out violently if any type of protest occurs.

I’ve attached a couple of recent Social Media posts, and documents mailed to offenders, related to the IWW/IWOC, National Prison Strike. I will continue to provide updates to this group.

Informational. This is 1 of 3 emails regarding communication with my counterparts in other state DOC’s regarding the IWW / IWOC and how Minn DOC monitors their “extremists” with their intel section.

47 Cc: Gerlicher, Cari (DOC); Uner, Mark (DOC) Subject: RE: IWW and IWOC

I’ve included everyone that I have been communicating with on this issue, and hope I am answering everyone’s questions.

Emily, Adam, Steven, William, Hunter and Jeremy, As indicated below, I met with our Corrections Industries (MINNCOR) leadership this past Monday to be briefed by them. They reported that in conversations with their civilian employees as well as their offender employees, they are hearing that there is no intent for a work stoppage or disturbance of any kind. Keeping in mind that these are the most well paid offender employees, who are also provided through this work with employment opportunities upon release, this isn’t the group to be the most concerned with. I’m most concerned with those offenders who are just disgruntled with being incarcerated, don’t really understand what the issues are and how to make positive changes, who may act out violently if any type of protest occurs.

I’ve attached a couple of recent Social Media posts, and documents mailed to offenders, related to the IWW/IWOC, National Prison Strike. I will continue to provide updates to this group.

Don,

WI DOC is seeing an increase in the number of inmates that no longer fit the “classical” street gang STG definition and have now been classified as extremists.

Any help would be appreciated.

We in Philadelphia are upgrading our jail management/inmate location system and are looking to include armbands with bar codes. If your prisons/jail system 56 uses bar code armbands please let me know the manufacturer and how well they have functioned under normal use. Is the administration satisfied with the armbands?

Good afternoon,

I felt compelled to apprise you of some information that may be beneficial to you and the fusion center. You may already be aware. If so, please disregard. Over the past couple of weeks our Facility

58 mailroom staff have been receiving and reviewing correspondence from a guy named Randall Paul Mayhugh, of Terre Haute, IN. Mr. Mayhugh poses as a Union member for a group that call themselves Industrial Workers of the world (IWW). Our mailroom staff have confiscated nearly 100 of the incoming flyers (attached), all to different inmates located at the Wabash Valley Correctional Facility.

We have not interviewed McQuay, as he has no idea that we are on to their antics. We will await further instruction from your office on how to proceed.

Please advise.

Thanks,

Rob

SPREADING THE STRIKE: SOLIDARITY ACTIONS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA FOR SEPTEMBER 9TH

August 16, 2016

Originally published to It’s Going Down Add Your Event: info[at]itsgoingdown[dot]org

81 People are organizing across the United States and the world in order to stand in the streets in solidarity with those locked behind bars who will strike on September 9th against prison slavery. Already, a wide range of actions have taken place in the run up to the strike. This includes large scale flyering and street propaganda campaigns, banner drops, noise demonstrations outside of jails and detention facilities, and informational events. All of this activity helps to build the capacity of the strike to bring in more people who can take an active role, as well as spread information about the struggle being waged by prisoners on the inside. These actions also bring many organizations, crews, and individuals together that before have previously never worked side by side and helps expose white supremacy as both a system of social control and racial apartheid and an apparatus of management that facilitates the creation of billions of dollars of profits.

Diary of Actions (July – September 2016)

SPREADING THE STRIKE: SOLIDARITY ACTIONS ACROSS NORTH AMERICA FOR SEPTEMBER 9TH

August 16, 2016

Originally published to It’s Going Down Add Your Event: info[at]itsgoingdown[dot]org

People are organizing across the United States and the world in order to stand in the streets in solidarity with those locked behind bars who will strike on September 9th against prison slavery. Already, a wide range of actions have taken place in the run up to the strike. This includes large scale flyering and street propaganda campaigns, banner drops, noise demonstrations outside of jails and detention facilities, and informational events. All of this activity helps to build the capacity of the strike to bring in more people who can take an active role, as well as spread information about the struggle being waged by prisoners on the inside. These actions also bring many organizations, crews, and individuals together that before have previously never 88 worked side by side and helps expose white supremacy as both a system of social control and racial apartheid and an apparatus of management that facilitates the creation of billions of dollars of profits.

148 in the flyers appears to be inflammatory and at first read one would think not allowed. However, unless the material calls for a “strike” or “uprising” or advises when and how inmates should do so, it cannot be “blanket” denied.

Sandra – Can we save this as well and put the link to it in the briefing?

Some inmates in WI are participating in a hunger strike in some of our prisons. Be mindful of our young population and their ability to be easily influenced by others. If you see a pattern of inmates not eating meals, report it to PSU, HSU and the shift supervisor. It would be wise if we had staff doing a round of the quad that is eating to see who didn’t come out for the meal. This may assist us in monitoring who is or is not eating the meals. Sergeants should document this information in the unit log book and communicate the findings up the chain of command. Any identified pattern should be noted in COMPAS by the staff observing the behavior. (then link the below from a group folder. Thank you)

[Control Units] [Campaigns] [Hunger Strike] [Waupun Correctional Institution] [Wisconsin] Prisoners Plan Hunger Strike to Protest Wisconsin Long Term Isolation

by MIM(Prisons) April 2016 permalink Waupun solitary confinement cell

Wisconsin prisoners at Waupun Correctional Institution are planning a hunger strike to begin on 10 June 2016 to demand an end to the torture of long-term confinement in control units in Wisconsin.

158 number of prisoners in control units reported by the DOC is highly suspicious as it is far lower than information gathered from surveys.(1) In addition, Waupun prisoners were not notified of the change to this policy, and months later were still being held for longer than the new regulations allowed.(2) It's unclear if the new policy is being applied uniformly across Wisconsin prisons at this point, but small reductions in the length of solitary confinement sentences will not solve the fundamental problem of this system of torture.

As one prisoner reported to Under Lock & Key a few years ago:

It is well documented that long term isolation causes mental health problems including hallucinations and delusions. This technique is used in prisons like Guantanamo Bay to torture military prisoners into making confessions (or making up confessions for the many innocents who suffer this torture). But in the Amerikan prison system this torture merely serves to slowly erode the health of prisoners who are either confined to waste away for the rest of their life or released back to the streets unable to care for themselves.

The petition put together by prisoners at Waupun is printed in full below:

Dying to Live

159 Human rights fight at Waupun Correctional Institution starting June 10, 2016. Prisoners in Waupun's solitary confinement will start No Food & Water humanitarian demand from Wisconsin Department of Corrections officials.

The Problem: The UN, several states, and even President Obama have come out against this kind of confinement citing the torturous effect it has on prisoners.

The Objective: Stop the torturous use of confinement - long term SC (AC) by:

Notes: 1. The The Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism reports that 1,500 inmates are held in segregation, while MIM(Prisons) own survey counts 1,800. These numbers are much higher than what the WIDOC is reporting even before the supposed reduction in 2015. 2.
