Third Submission to Governor Evers

Pleas for release sent to Governor Tony Evers June 20, 2020 
  This is the third installment and last.  The response from the Governor's office has been to remove the waiver from the application. We continue to pressure this office and to find other avenues to bring relief to the most vulnerable. We believe that prisoners cannot protect themselves from the virus and therefore their welfare is all our responsibility.

Dustin William Peters 437458, OCI( BD 1985.35yo)
His time is particularly dead right now. His crime was possession with intent to deliver- he needs treatment and there is none. To be held here in these dangerous conditions makes no sense.

James L Phillips 402731   OSCI( BD 1983, 36yo)
James Phillips

https://ffupstuff.files.wordpress.com/2020/05/james-phillips-waiver.pdf
James is at high risk because of his asthma and his use of two inhalers. More to his point, however , is that he speaks of wanting to be a voice for all victims and wants to start a non profit . HE has been both the perpetrator of abuse and the abuser and sees the cycle of violence ( hurt people  hurt people) and wants to break it. he needs a second chance and it is outrageous that this covid virus in the prison could be his death sentence. He needs out.

Jeffry A Schultz


Jeffrey briefly explains his crime: " After Darryl killed Adam, he then turned the gun on me, forcing me to bury Adam while he help me at gun point" They had been drinking all day.
He had been in prison for 18 years and the killer was never charged. Jeffry has used his time well- with a long list of accomplishments. now with covid threatening all- isn't it time for a little compassion? 

in an earlier letter he wrote this , which is very relevant.
"There is a pandemic going on out there over COVID-19. With my preexisting 
 sinus issues I catch respiratory illnesses easily. This virus spreads easily and  is killing people at an alarming rate. Once it gets in here it would not be a matter of if , But when I would be infected. I sit here and watch the death toll  rise every day and I fear for my family and myself. There is also  evidence of
 .an 80%sterility rate for men survivors.  We cannot practice social distancing in here and the only PPE we have been issued is 2 cloth masks, Once it gets in here it will spread like wild fire. The DOC does not have the resources to deal with this, so an in infection has a higher risk of proving fatal. I did not survive that night just to die in prison of a disease,when this situation can 
 easily and safely be avoided."
