The wish to bring the horror of Administrative Confinement (AC) to the public's Attention and end this torturous practice. Solitary confinement for more than 15 days has been deemed "torture" by the United Nations but Wisconsin the DOC has held many prisoners in isolation for decades. AS the debate and outrage grows nationwide, join us in supporting these prisoners who are making a courageous sacrifice to Wake Us Up.

Upon brief research, Columbia Correctional hasn't even posted any of their annual reports, which should be posted as they are public record.
ReplyDeleteAlso the naming scheme for the state of wisconsin's email is firstname.lastname@wi.gov, so Michael Dittman's email from Columbia correctional, regardless if he gives it out is michael.dittman@wi.gov.
Since his email address is owned by the state of Wisconsin, it is not in his discretion to give or not give out his email address, for it is public record. Maybe he needs to be reminded he is not king but a servant to the citizens of the state.
