about me. Which is then submitted into my case file and used --- when convenient--- to justify this oppressive, degrading, and inhumane treatment I am continuing to be subjected to.
Every time I attempt to function in general population, I am being assaulted by young gang members. Instead of these inmates receiving conduct reports for their behavior, they are rewarded by being transferred to a less secure institution. Then, I am immediately placed back into segregation to endure another long stint of "social isolation." Some of these inmates have even actually been rewarded with parole. After all of this, I am labeled by the Department of Corrections as someone with "...extreme institution violence and ill will in the population..."[5]
For those of you wondering why I am still incarcerated after having served thirty-eight (38) years. Or, why the Department of Corrections is continuing to treat me so inhumanely, as well as turning-a-blind-eye to young gang member verbal and physical assaults upon me? You must understand that the victim in my First-Degree Murder case, Virgil [marked out], has family and friends that work in the Department of Corrections. And what they could not do by the law, they are doing through the law, under the "Color of Law."[6]
Consequently, and despite my sincere remorse and repenting of my past wrongdoings -as well as my continued process of redemption-- the family and friends who still work for the Department of Corrections -Administrators, Wardens, Correctional Officers, etc.-- continue to harass me with the willing assistance of gang members.[7]
The Wisconsin Department of Corrections has intermittently locked me away in various "social isolation" segregation confinements for (35) of the (38) - years I have been incarcerated.
Despite my last conduct report being in 1995--fifteen years ago-and despite suffering severely from medical ailments, such as, Osteoarthritis spinal disease: Loss of hearing: frequent swelling of the legs: asthma: micro ulcers in legs: loss of memory: slowed motor response: constant pains in my back, legs and hands: serious bouts of untreated depression: and being at the age of 63 years old. The Department of Corrections continues to justify this "social isolation" by mislabeling me as some "dangerous inmate" who "..Remains an unreasonable risk to be returned to a GP -General Population-setting in WI based on his...

[6] This is a legal term used in reference to corrupt public officials who use their position to abuse and violate another person's Constitutional Rights, and feel they can get away with doing so because they are clothed with state power.
[7] Under Federal law 42 U.S.C.A. 1977 and U.S.C.A. 1983, such inmates would be legally classified as "Agents of the State," not "prisoners" in the normal capacity.

...history of extreme institution violence and ill will in the population..."[8]
Even while in total "social isolation" -with absolutely no human contact-Waupun Correctional Institution security Director Donald [marked out] still manages to find fault in my behavior. (See memo dated March 3, 2008 in the appendix section of this petition).
Nonetheless, I still currently have had no conduct reports and am proving the correctness of the Federal Bureau of Prison's evaluation of "positive" and "excellent". And this is a reflection of my future behavior within and without these walls if given a fair chance to succeed.
If you have any questions for me, please contact me at the address provided below. In my responses, I promise you that, one, I shall never lie to you. And two, I shall never hide anything of relevance from you. My life is an open book.

This is not half the story. We need authoritative help to expose and remedy the rest of the story. Thank you for your premium time and attention to this matter.

[8] See Leon's 2005 Program Review Classification report in appendix section of this petition. If you notice in this same document referred to, just prior to the abovementioned comments about Leon, the social worker writing the report clearly states that Leon's "...last major CR-Conduct Report-is dated 11/45/95 for 'Disrespect'. Conduct in the Federal system noted as 'Positive' and 'Excellent' while there from 12/97 to 4/00." Leon was in general population when he was in the Federal System. This "Positive" and "Excellent" behavior while there is inconsistent with someone who has "violence" on his agenda as the DOC alleges in their evaluation of Leon. Nor is this consistent with someone who has "...Ill will in the population..." as alleged by the DOC. In fact, the social worker--immediately after painting Leon as uncivilized--clearly states in her own comments that Leon had had "...Good adj. during the past 10 years including a positive stay in FBOP-Federal Bureau of Prisons--"Does this make sense?
