I received 22 years for a cocaine law violation. Since my incarceration I have had to have three emergency blood transfusions - all three times I have nearly died. It is difficult to get the proper medication here and when I don't my stomach bleeds. I was evaluated by the University of Wisconsin Medical staff who were adamant that I need "urgent surgery." I'm still waiting to have it.
The 7th Circuit agrees that my serious medical needs are being ignored and that I have proven that my 8th amendment rights have been violated - "cruel and unusual punishment" - but as usual - I wait for surgery.
My family is an 8 hour drive from where I am being held and this is my first grandchild, my first visit with this grandchild, my only visit with this grandchild.
