Dear Regional Director Ms. Southerland,

Last night I received your 9/7 correspondence, as I've explained to you before, going to the Office of the Inspector General (IG) is a waste of time.

Now I'm currently scheduled to get off disciplinary confinement (DC) on October 3, I've spent 150 days down here on DC due to lying criminal correctional officers falsifying disciplinary reports (DR), which is a violation of state law, falsifying state documents.

This afternoon I was told that I'm NOT getting off DC or out of this cell. The staff member stated and I quote "You've pissed in the warden's cornflakes and you're never getting off D.C. or out of that cell." And there's no reason to mention the officer's name for he's going to deny it.

And the fact remains that state and federal laws are being violated, by correctional staff, who are in all rights "CRIMINALS" under the guise of law enforcement. And the I.G.'s office is turning a blind eye and deaf ear to the criminal activity that staff members are engaging in. Cronyism - plain and simple.

I've reported this abuse to you, time and time again. Yet I'm continuously being victimized by this administration, who's no more than a bunch of criminal thugs. And then you send my letters of complaint to the warden who's behind this criminal activity of victimizing me, and not only violating state and federal law, but human rights as well.

I tried to call a truce with Mr. Reddish and he wanted no part of it. And why should he when he's got the advantage of having his foot on my neck, and can violate the laws with no consequence whatsoever.

You are Mr. Reddish's boss and I need you to go to him, and stop him, or go the secretary about these crimes that are being committed here in the FDOC.

The I.G.'s office is garbage. It's a waste of tax dollars. So sending this letter or any other complaint to them, is as good as balling this up and throwing it in the trash. We need action to stop this criminal conduct.

Thank you for your time and hopefully your help.

Sincerely
Ronald W. Clark Jr.

I just received this last night Sept 12, 2012. You will be able to view my Sept 13 response to this. They're basically rubber stamping it sending it to the I.G. Knowing the I.G. isn't going to do anything. So they're all complicit with this criminal activity that's going on and all these human rights violations. 'Cause baby, this is the dirty south and they don't give a damn about human rights or that raggedy piece of paper they call the U.S. Constitution. Welcome to my world where the only qualification to be a warden is to lack ethical and moral conduct.

More garbage rules to make life here on death row more miserable. There's no reason for half of these rules. But the Col did say, I'm going to see how many of you stick around now that it's not so good.
