DELIBERATE INDIFFERENCE
The federal sixth circuit court of appeals ruled that prison officials showed "deliberate indifference" to a prisoner’s
right to medical treatment, (Le Marbe v. Wisneski, 266 F. 3d 429 6th CR. 2001).
Michigan prisoner Richard Lemarte filed a civil rights lawsuit (1983) against prison doctor, alleging they had
violated the 8th Amendment against cruel and unusual punishment by allowing him to suffer a bile leak after
performing ------ surgery on him, thus acting with deliberate indifference. Defendants sought summary judgement,
which a federal district judge denied.
This is only one case of deliberate indifference here in America prison system. That case was Michigan and here
in the largest prison Angola Louisiana I can show only a small part of the very same indifference, cruel and
unusual punishment. I had double lower hernia problem, which took months of suffering to finally get medical
attention. The whole while waiting I was forced to do hard labour in plantation fields working crops of produce.
Then I was off to a charity hospital, when college students operate to learn their ----- of surgery and other medical
practices. Inmates are used to this learning practice. After a double lower hernia surgery I was forced awake by
security personal only to be chained up over fresh surgery cuts to be forced to walk and get in a transfer van to
the prison. Because of pain, I feel getting into the van only to disrupt the repair on one hernia, 5 weeks later I was
in the fields doing hard labour with damage causing serious pain. It took over a year to get back to the hospital to
fix this problem. Then a little over one week after the second surgery I was forced to the fields to do hard labour
with 17 medal stopples holding the fresh surgery cut together. The work caused stopples tearing loose and much
bleeding both internal and external to the point I was put in the back of a track to ride to the emergency room.
After I filed administrative remedy procedure, which is required by the court system, the prison still has not
assured ARP and in which I’ve been waiting two years for answer. If you file ARP, then the department over the
responses usually have aunts, unless father’s sons or mothers working here that’ll anwer it.
Another words the issue will be covered up definetely. Generations of families live here on the prison plantation in
free housing and bills. They run his prison plantation with no respect for the law and rights. To opose them could
lead to serious problems.
US$ 93 million were given to run this prison for this year by tax payers (Even though we have 18 000 acress of
farm land with crops, livestock and prison ----, that generates millions also. Still the budget is used up and it’s not
the end of the year yet. (Corruption is why.)
I was forced to work in a licence plate plant here, that uses free inmate labour to produce pecience plates for cars
in this state and especially other countries outside the USA.The plate
--- I was forced to work on, was over US$ 1 million --- plates, which cost less than US$ 2 to make each. Citizens in
this state pay over US$ 30 for one plate for their car. So, add that up. Condition was so bad that my lungs were
infected by working with toxic stuff without protection, that I was sent to the emergency room because of severe
breathing difficulties. While trying to walk through a security gate on the way to the hospital, a foul security guard
had me asulted by a group of guards. I was beaten while in full restraints, then sent to lock up cell only to receive
more beating and numberious cans of pepper gas sprayed on me. For a person, that can hardly breath to start with
pepper gas isn’t nice, not to speak of severe beating. When filing APR it was covered up and I am in extended
lock down going on two years now. They abuse pri soners and lock them up to cover up. It goes on endless here of
corruption, abuse and much, much other.
I have a natural life sentence, meaning I’ll be here to the day I die for the crime of murder that I did NOT do. Not
only do I face a future for a crime I hd nothing to do with, but I’m forced to do slave labour and tolerate abuse
here. There was no justice in my criminal criminal case and I desperately need legal help to overcome this
wrongful conviction. I was physically removed from the court-room, when I tried to show, I’m not guilty. My court
appointed attorney stated: “The state is hardly paying me anything for the case. Why should I fight it?!” So, I am
in prison for someone else crime going through suffering endless. It is not easy to wake up each morning in prison
knowing you are not supposed to be here. But who cares?! Who will help I ask? I have nothing!
No money, friends, lawyer or anything. All I have is my head held up standi ng strong refusing to ever give up.
If there is anyone, who cares, then please,
write me!
May God bless you!

“Eternity” by George R. Mullenix
Eternity is where each of us is going

Each and every day it is showing,

Because life span on earth for me

Is like a grain of sand plain to see

For dust to dust then sand

Winds take me everywhere understand,

One one side we start blow

Winds carrying us then we go,

Grains of sand shift in trust

But life turns all kinds of ways on us,

If you count sand in a land

At the end of your life span,

Eternity only starts to blow

And then your spirit flows.

Forever and ever time goes on

Please rescue me so I find home,

Because forever and ever we go,

Together across this land we blow

Never there’s an end eternity

Forever so……
