Continuing Abuse of Prisoners in W.C.I's Segregation Unit
By Nate A. Lindell, created 19 Nov. 2013
It amazes me that, despite all the lawsuits filed against W.C.I Seg.unit staff (I found 12+ using our law computer, which is not complete in its reports) for sexually and physically abusing prisoners here, despite all of the journalists whom I and just one prisoner's relatives contacted about the systemic abuse here (e.g Wis Pub.T.V., Milw Jornal Sentinel, TMJY news, capital newspapers), along with so-called activists (e.g Amnesty Int'l, Prison fellowship ministries, etc.), despite what must be at least a dozen criminal complaints filed with this county's prosecution against staff by prisoners here, despite at least my complaint filed with the U.S P.O.J (see justice.gov/crt/about/spl/corrections.php )- nothing's changed. The staff responsible for the majority of the severe abuse of prisoners here *
CO II Joseph Beohm
CO II Andrew Moungey
CO II Jeffrey Gill
Lt. Jessie Schneider
Lt. (recently promoted from Sgt.) Shane Waller
Seg. Supervisor Brian Greff
Security Director Anthony (Tony) Meli continue doing what they've been doing. *Readers, please look these guards +supervisors up on google, facebook, etc. , http://wcca.wicourts.gov find out their criminal records + clues as to why they abuse prisoners and how they know each other.

Thus I write this update with a growing sense of futility. *Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) Violations*

In response to the sexual abuse of prisoners (by other prisoners + by staff) that flourishes in U.S (+ other) prisons, Congress enacted the PREA, which requires states to prohibit such abuse and investigate complaints by prisoners IF they want federal funds (state prison systems receive millions of such funding each year). The problem is that it's prison staff who investigate PREA complaints-they cover for their homies.
Here at W.C.I, the problem is that staff directly sexually abuse prisoners. Every time staff CLAIM they needed to use force on a prisoner and need to put him in control seg. status (without clothing, bedding, etc) Staff put a tazer to their victim, hold him in a kneeling position, cut off his clothing and grope at their genitals + anus, which staff call a "staff-assisted strip search"
