It is time for this abuse and foolishness to stop!



I have corresponded with Mr. Redman in the past. His crime was terrible, but he deserved better than what he got from Ely State Prison and E. K. McDaniels, warden of that sump hole prison. Mr. Redman's treatment is pervasive throughout the Nevada Prison System, and there are many examples to show this treatment is extensive. Revert back for a moment to the Report of Doctor Noel on Ely State Prison's medical treatment of prisoners--that were left to literally rot to death, because the prison's medical staff, and the warden, refused to give medication to prisoners.

Tim Redman was a young man when his crime was committed and received no help while in prison. Tim needed psychiatric help, not murdered by the hands of his keepers. His death was calculated and preventable. This is what Nevada has to look forward to today and in the future: "Murdered in Nevada's prisons by Nevada Department of Corrections guards and administrators".

Nevada's Department of Correction, their employees and their director is beyond disgraceful--they are pathetic, and Nevada's voters are permitting this behavior to continue. Aren't we all so proud? OK, Nevadan's, remember this: "Paybacks are a bitch".

The picture we display of Mr. Redman, where the side of his face is torn off, was obtained by Ms. Mercedes Maharis, of the Spartacus Project of Nevada--from the district court in Ely, Nevada. This photo was labeled by Warden, E.K. McDaniels, of Ely State Prison: as "a trophy photograph".

Way to go State of Nevada! Aren't we the proud Nevada Citizens to have such great wardens and employees of the Department of Corrections? One could almost wonder how these men, Nevada's correctional guards and wardens, treat their wives and families--couldn't one? We know how they treat Nevada's prisoners.

Does any citizen believe this type treatment towards prisoners is going to make them safer from the prisoners scheduled for release--when they are released from prison, with $20.00 in their pockets to start their lives over? Wake up Nevadan's--this is your tax dollars going down into the pockets of the Department of Correction's pay checks. You are not getting a good return on your dollars.

The harsh reality of life is the example you see everyday. Do you want this same treatment the prisoners receive from Nevada's prisons to be brought home to your parents, grand parent and/or children, and possibly--YOU? Only you can stop this abuse, before it is at your door step, thanks to the department of corrections. You might want to think about this for a minute--it is just a heart beat away. It is time to get this Idiot Governor to wake up to the reality of what is being done to Nevada's prisoners by way of "Legal Rehabilitation". He needs to fire the entire department of correction's administrators and many guards, and start over with decent human beings as "keepers of Nevada's errant ones". If not, do not expect things to get better and your tax dollars going to more deserving programs.

It is time for this abuse and foolishness to stop!
