SWEET LAND OF LIBERTY: FOR-PROFIT JAILS CREATE CAPITAL PUNISHMENTS FOR NON-CAPITAL CRIMES



Pre-trial (constitutionally innocent) men, women, and non-violent offenders are being issued death sentences by way of negligence, corruption, and profiteering committed within the Virginia Department of Corrections (DOC). The DOC, through the utilization of for-profit/privatized jails, is itself perpetrating crimes against citizens, the State, and the Federal Government. Firstly, they are violating constitutionally protected Civil Rights by denying sufficient medical care. They are both refusing and sometimes unable to administer medications and treatments, and they are additionally not providing adequate hygienic necessities. The Supreme Court, (Estelle v. Gamble), determined over 40 years ago that these are illegal acts of cruel and unusual punishment. In addition, State Profiteering Laws (CC §18.2-112; CC §18.2-439) are being ignored. The jails are grossly overcharging for one source of monopolized goods (for example: $5 for 5 sheets of paper, 5 envelopes, and one very cheap pen). And lastly, Federal Postage Law (18 U.S.C. Section 1341: Mail Fraud) states that it is illegal for any entity, contracted through the US Postal Service, who buys Federal Postage in bulk, to charge above the face value. The jails routinely up-charge their inmates at least $.03 to $.05 more than the current federally mandated amount for contracted venues. (Interested, but short on time?

One may ask, “Why should I care? They’re just criminals, after all.” It is an understandable part of human nature to believe that the inmates do possibly deserve this. Did you know that a majority of the population residing in Virginia County jails are either non-violent offenders, or else they are individuals awaiting trial, (innocent until proven guilty), who are either too poor to post bail or else have had it denied? Regardless, for those that have been found guilty, even of violent offenses, it is up to the court and the criminals’ peers to determine appropriate punishment. This right is guaranteed by our Constitution, designed to protect justice itself from knee-jerk reactions of the human heart. Of 700 inmate deaths in Virginia, 70% were attributed to inadequate medical care.



One individual, sadly already a part of the 70% of preventable deaths, was sentenced to only 10 days in a county jail in Virginia Beach, for a non-violent offense. A mere 10 days, and the corruption, neglect, and profiteering of the privatized jail in that area resulted in this young man’s (practically still a boy’s) death. He was an insulin dependent diabetic. His prescription for insulin was refused admittance to the jail from an outside pharmacy. And, rather than prescribing him the medicine in-house that he needed to stay alive, he was denied it, and consequently died during that short 10 day period of custody as a direct result of not receiving the life-saving medication he so desperately needed.



The lack of prescribing medications and sometimes the ability to do so does not actually fall on a singular jail itself. In an effort to increase profits, the majority of privatized jails do not even employ medical doctors (doctors, being the only ones who can legally issue prescriptions: there are only 40 doctors in the State of Virginia relegated to the care of 30,000+ inmates); furthermore, they employ very few registered nurses, and rely mostly on licensed practicing nurses (certification for which only one year of training is required). Thus, a considerable backlog ensues. The LPN’s are not allowed to administer more than basic care (CPR, Triage for vitals, etc), the registered nurses must petition the doctors for prescriptions, and also, the RN’s are allowed a 3 day to one week period to meet with and attempt to diagnose patients. [Credit for the previous details is given to Sandra Hausman: Center for Health Journalism]. But, it is not just a matter of the inability to prescribe and thus administer drugs and treatments.



Numerous reports have already been written exposing the horrible state of improper medical care within the Virginia prison and jail systems. While learning of the rampant numbers of literal life and death infractions definitely is both important and damning, I cannot help but wonder if these previous articles made the issue too abstract and dehumanized by the use of so many numbers.



I have therefore chosen to focus on one particular case in a very specific location of Virginia. By doing so, I hope to humanize the plight of these people, as well as contribute to shedding light on the corruption and illegal conduct being perpetrated by the system. It is my aim to create an awareness through which the public itself will demand that true justice must be carried out. This is one of many horribly similar stories occuring, not just in VA, but across the Nation. Many of those will remain forever untold, but perhaps by the recounting of one, many silent victims of present and future can be helped as well.



In focusing my lens, I would like to call attention to the administration and staff of Western Virginia Regional Jail (WVRJ) (http://www.westernvaregionaljail.org 5885 W River Rd, Salem, VA 24153), known to the locals as Salem Jail. This facility is actively involved in a laundry list of criminal misdeeds. The most serious crime is indeed an extremely shocking, disturbing, and dangerous violation of the Civil Rights of the inmates. In addition there are also other Federal crimes being committed by the personnel (e.g., insurance fraud), as well as rampant theft of the inmates by the facility and its employees.



My first example, provided to me by sources both within the jail and from family members outside of it, is that of charging inmates for the mandatory in-house filling of prescriptions and then refusing to administer the paid-for medications to their patients. Of course, we all know that there are some prescribed drugs that can be done without, especially for a limited period of time, but there are also many in which withholding will lead to the permanent incapacitation or even death of the individual, and at the very least, create undo extreme pain and discomfort:



I know of someone currently being denied medication in WVRJ. This person is suffering from irreparable physical damage, which had been stymied by medications and other treatments prior to incarceration. The previous care was and is deemed to be vitally necessary by the individual’s specialized physician. Through a vigorous investigation, I am acutely aware of the treatments this person needs. He/She is not only being caused permanent damage, but is also in unimaginable pain due to being denied necessary and life-sustaining medications. The physical stress of this is causing even more internal physiological complications. I feel at this point it would be good to note: in order to protect the anonymity of the inmate, I have chosen to refrain from using any gender specific nouns or disclosing identifiable details regarding the ailments for which this person suffers (my apologies to the morbidly curious, myself usually being one of them). There is a very real and strong fear of reprisal/retribution since this inmate is still being held within WVRJ custody.



WVRJ is filling previously existing prescriptions, ones that the inmates have often already paid for on the outside (thus double charging not only them but their insurance companies for medications). The facility is then charging the inmates’ families for ‘re-filling,’ in-house. I do understand, by the way, where the rule of not taking outside prescriptions comes from: things, especially narcotics, could be tampered into the prescriptions, and thus not be viable. A point of contention is that of one of the rules for allowable items to be brought into the jail. This rule is listed on the WVRJ website: (http://westernvaregionaljail.org/money_property.html ), which specifically lists medications as one of the few items a visitor can bring by for the inmate. It (as of a few weeks ago, and has since been removed), said that prescriptions will be immediately administered upon reviewing.



I dropped off a very large bag of outside prescriptions for my informant (the one needing a lot of specialized care). I was told that the doctor would have to look at them and decide what they could prescribe and issue. A nurse then verbally informed me that medications (from the bag I had brought), which were not a narcotic, would be immediately given to the inmate. Over 85% of the prescriptions that I brought were non-narcotics, and yet, of course, none of them were administered. Through FOIA, I later discovered that the "doctor," in charge of determining scripts for inmates is a psychiatrist, which, I hope means good things for their mental health care, but leaves in me in serious doubt in regards to physcial maladies...



Obviously, the aforementioned scripts (that I brought from the outside) were not issued arbitrarily, and especially so, in the case of being prescribed by a specialized health care professional. One would think that the facility would take the word of not just a general practitioner, but that of a specialized doctor, as in the case of my informant. After receiving payment for the medications (demanding they must be filled in-house), the facility is exorbitantly refusing to administer them to the inmates. Furthermore, they are billing Medicare and other insurance agencies for filling these unadministered prescriptions. It is in fact a general practice to run all scripts through the inmates’ insurance first, regardless of the coverage or co-pay rates. Some inmates have such high deductibles, that it has been found they are afraid to seek medication until an emergency occurs, which is often too late. For other inmates, lacking adequate insurance, the costs of meds are immediately withdrawn from their commissary/phone accounts. Even for those inmates on Medicare, the costs of co-pay, repeatedly and superfluously being charged, do add up: my insider’s family has now paid approximately $100 for roughly a 3-month supply of medications, of which only 5 days worth have been wantonly administered, and then withheld again. A heads' up to this and other for-profit jails: Medicare happens to be one of those Government agencies that really does not appreciate being defrauded. The billing of prescriptions not being issued is a rather hot-topic for them.



What, (I feel compelled to ask), are they doing with the medications, and/or money provided for them? Are the personnel keeping them for their own use? Are they selling the filled scripts on the side? Are they stockpiling the medications? Or, are they only claiming to fill the paid-for prescriptions and are perhaps just pocketing the money outright? Is this strictly a personnel issue or is this an administrative one? Is the corporation (jail) stealing the money? Or is this a case of severe ineptitude and negligence, one that is perhaps extraordinarily rampant in the VA DOC? These are questions that I cannot answer, but I do hope (perhaps naively) that revealing this information will lead to an official investigation which will.



Again, I am most cognizant of the details of the WVRJ. Of some jails in V.A., I have heard that the inmates are neither charged for nor prescribed their medications. They are merely denied them in absolution. To my understanding, such was the case for the V.A. Beach Boy, who died from no insulin being provided. In other instances, medication is eventually prescribed, if there happens to be a doctor qualified and also available to issue the scripts, (again, 40 doctors for 30,000+ inmates).



In other cases, it is not even that there is no “doctor” at hand. I used those last quotations quite specifically. For instance, at WVRJ, there is technically a “doctor,” on the payroll. This “doctor,” as previously mentioned, is a psychiatrist, while clearly having attended medical school, it would be suspect for his line of study to know all of the appropriate medications for non-psychiatric patients. I was disturbingly informed of proof of this when my informant’s family member made me aware of the fact that not only were they repeatedly charged for medications not issued, but were only afterwards informed that the, “doctor was unable, as a psychiatrist, to prescribe,” about half of the inmate’s medications, which had, of course, already been paid for. They, nor Medicare, were refunded.



These concerns have not been presented to me by merely one disgruntled individual. I have received reports from and about several of the inmates of WVRJ and their families. Besides direct information from my most trusted informant, other instances were discovered during visitation times at the jail. There are no actual physical visitations allowed for family members or friends (only lawyers, and clergy members, the latter of which must first answer and pass an extensive questionnaire and background check, and then must also be personally added to the severly limited list of visitations by the inmate). Rather, all other visits are done strictly via a phone for audio and a video screen monitor for visual. This is conducted in one large room, with the seats located approximately 1-½ feet apart from each other, and there are no privacy dividers provided. It is, therefore, not only distracting but also ridiculously easy to overhear other conversations. Thus, after overhearing numerous visitors say, “What?! They’re not giving you your meds? But I paid them 70 bucks! (or some such similar amount),” a natural follow up to their own plight was very readily provided.



WVRJ is also charging their “wards,” anywhere from $0.03 to $0.05 extra per Federally issued Postage Stamp. This is not only outrageous gouging, but it is illegal, (http://peopleof.oureverydaylife.com/can-resell-postage-stamps-9832.html, 18 U.S.C. Section 1341: Mail Fraud), although there are some loopholes available). The illegality of this has been further confirmed by two contacted Post-Masters in Virginia, both of whom separately disclosed that it is a Federal offense to charge more than the face value for Federally issued postage stamps unless reselling unused old stamps. Most especially, it is considered to be fraud when a large organization, either public or private, but often a corporation, AGREES to a purchasing contract with the USPS. This may perhaps be an old law, relegated to the past, but the USPS still very much holds its agreements to be true. When a Federally issued Postage Stamp is sold, in bulk, to a large organization, there is an explicit agreement that these stamps will not be sold above face value.



Additionally, the jail is violating a State profiteering law (CC §18.2-112; CC §18.2-439) by only provided overpriced, monopolized, materials:



The only writing materials available to the inmates are those provided by the commissary, located at the facility. In order to have the ability to write anything, be it for oneself or to send to someone else, the inmate must first order a correspondence kit, of which immediate access is not available. As referenced in the introduction, a charge to the inmate’s account of $5 covers the cost of 5 sheets of paper, 5 envelopes, and one flexi pen (the type a person could easily get 100 of for $1). The inmates are also charged for their jail issued uniforms that they must eventually return to the facility upon leaving, as well as $1/day to stay at the institution. If an inmate does not possess medical insurance, as previously mentioned, all money added to this person’s account, as an example, having been earmarked for groceries and supplies (or even telephone calls), is subsequently taken away, for the ‘supposed,’ filling of that person’s prescriptions. All of these expenses ultimately fall on the family or friends to provide. An inmate has no access to hygienic goods until after classification (a process that can take several days to a week), and afterwards the inmates must purchase for themselves, if they can access money, hygienic goods which are overpriced and only accessible in the commissary on site. Items such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, and soap are not provided to those who cannot afford them, thus contributing to preventable diseases and the spread of illness.



Furthermore, an inmate who receives any form of government compensation, State or Federal, is denied that “income,” while in jail, even if their family members rely on it for such things as groceries or rent (https://www.ssa.gov/reentry/#&a0=2). Dependent pay for children or spouses is still issued, but that is typically a nominal amount. The vast majority of the funds are withheld after 30 days of imprisonment, regardless of whether the confinement is pre or post conviction.



My trusted and strongly vetted informant is currently facing the terrifyingly real threat of suffering a similar fate as the diabetic boy from Virginia Beach, and thus joining 70%+ of preventable deaths. This person, a resident of Montgomery County, was denied bond for non-violent offenses. The individual was also denied the right to provide solid alibis from several witnesses, which would most assuredly have resulted in an outright dismissal of the case. Instead, he/she must wait several months for the scheduled trial. Meanwhile, this person’s health requires very specialized medical care. The medications and treatments necessary for survival are of course, being denied. When the individual attempted to request medical attention for a severe health condition; he/she was instead placed in solitary confinement, without medical observation, for several days. The inmate’s health has significantly deteriorated since being in custody. I must stress that the medical condition which ensued would without a single doubt or hesitation have warranted a necessary visit to an ER, followed by a lengthy stay in the ICU, had this been a “civilian.” Instead, this person was sent to a triage nurse, who took only basic vitals: blood pressure, pulse, etc…afterward, the inmate was sent directly to solitairy confinement, as the nurse's treatment of choice.



Upon reaching out to the jail, the administration professed it to be common practice to quarantine inmates for a minimum of 3 days who may present an illness. But, rather than observing this inmate during the supposed “quarantinable illness,” he/she went unobserved and unattended for over 30 hours. The inmate was kept in "the hole" well past the minimum 3 days and was not sent into a medical isolation room, of which WVRJ has several. Rather than being treated, he/she was instead harassed, berated, and accused of milking debilitative health conditions by the guards. The medical deterioration of this person is a direct and predictable result of not receiving the specialized care that he/she absolutely requires as a necessity for life. As of yet, barely any minimal medical care has been provided, nor have the vast majority of prescribed medications been issued for this severely ill individual who has been in custody, innocent until proven guilty, for quite a length of time.



In addition, upon the rare occasion that any medicine is administered, it is the practice of WVRJ to only provided powdered versions in a small plastic cup. The inmates must toss the powdered medicine into their mouths prior to being allowed any water. It is anyone’s guess as to whether the powder they are choking down is even their own medicine or not.



As to some further accusations of theft (beyond the facility scamming family members and insurance)…immediately after being confined to solitairy, the aforementioned inmate’s goods, both commissary and issued, were to be collected by a corrections officer on duty and brought to the cell. After two days, the inmate was finally given a chance to inquire as to the whereabouts of his/her goods. The response was that this person obviously must have never purchased any of them in the first place; including the jail issued spare uniform (of which will now need to be paid for twice). All of the parcels were “missing,” and therefore did not exist. Toiletries, correspondence items, important paperwork, and mundane goods to pass the time, were all gone beyond recovery.



I would like to take a moment to digress in order to share a few disturbing side notes of discovery:



#1) Montgomery County is quietly known to almost always deny the first Bond Hearing of a person, regardless of the charges or the circumstances. Bear in mind, that a large population of the inmates are not even convicted criminals. Many of them are individuals who were either denied bond or could not afford to post it while awaiting their trial. In these cases, those denied their first bond are rarely informed that a second hearing can be requested, one that conversely almost always grants bond in their favor due to being submitted by law to a higher court.



#2) Virginia is one of the lowest paying states for public defenders.



#3) No evidence is required to be presented at a bond hearing. Evidence in favor of the defendant is precluded from the hearing, and the prosecution can freely present conjecture and rumors in order to have the bond denied.



One must begin to question why the bond is so frequently denied. This is becoming all too common across the Nation. The answers to this question are disturbing. Bond is being denied, in historical numbers, because the system is for-profit. The use of privatized jails comes with the requirement of full beds within those facilities. The most basic answer is that of supply and demand to feed the greed, at the cost of numerous lives being ruined. More horrifying though, is that it is not illegal for lawyers and judges to own shares in these private corporations. While unethical, there currently is no law preventing it. There are laws preventing judges and other public officials from accepting kick-backs from the corporations for sending people to their jails. In fact, two judges in Pennsylvania were recently tried and convicted of accepting millions of dollars in doing just that. Disgustingly, they were trying juvenile cases and sending kids to jail for petty issues that many would not even deem to be a misdemeanor. Is this the case in Montgomery County, VA as well?



There is a lot more that my heart yearns to disclose in regards to my informant's case. Corruption, and abuse of power among the arresting officers, negligence of the prosecution, and much more. But, as the trial is still pending I feel it may be best to not disclose further details until a later time. I would strongly encourage though, that the Virginia State Police should take a serious interest in investigating the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.



Please, if you believe that our criminal justice system is broken and utterly corrupt. If you believe that profit should never be the main force in the pursuit of truth and justice, then share this story. This and many stories of a similar nature too often go untold and unknown. Often, it is only when someone is personally touched by these atrocities that they learn just how vile the system has become. We must work to change this! We must inform the public, and demand an end to the people for profit system! And, you have been fortunate enough to have not been personally affected yet, know that the US has the highest incarceration rate of non-violent offenders of any major country. Simple math of degrees of separation dictates that if not yet, then you will be affected by this.



One simple click of a button may be all it takes to save a life or numerous ones. Informed citizens is the worst enemey of this system. They have worked hard at keeping us in the dark, and I say no more! Thank you.



The United States Constitution stipulates that an individual is innocent until proven guilty. Think, for a moment, of how many innocent people are being forced to sit in jail, waiting for months or even years, just to get a chance to prove their innocence. Add to this that in WVRJ, as well as many other jails across the Nation, these individuals are being treated as though they are guilty. Within The System, there are no differentiations between guilt and innocence.



My inside source is one of the many poor souls being forced to wait, in limbo, within the system. Additionally this person is being compelled to wait for an indeterminate further period of time due to the assigned public defender being away on an extended vacation. Through my own investigations, interviews with neighbors, friends, and the lawyer of another person arrested conjointly in the same supposed offense, I have discovered that there is in actuality no evidence against either individual, and yet equally, there exists a wealth of beneficial evidence; including multiple corroborated alibis, all of which are being ignored until a trial that is not due to be held for several more months.



Why was his/hers bond denied? There happened to be a mere rumor among the prosecution that a possibility of pending charges may occur. Suffice it to say, none of those pending charges have yet to appear, and it has already been a significant length of time since the bond hearing. I would love to disclose just how long, but again, in order to protect this person’s identity I will refrain from mentioning the exact timeframe.



I have put a lot of stress on innocent (or potentially innocent) people being mistreated. The Supreme Court makes no distinction between an innocent or guilty person in the matter of the incarcerated having their Civil Rights violated. I too would prefer to not make this distinction, but I have accepted that I am not so naïve as to be unable to comprehend human nature:



The first gut instinct of many, myself included, is to feel more empathy for a person being horrifically treated who is innocent and less so for the one that is guilty. I freely admit that my knee-jerk reaction when hearing of the plight of a guilty criminal is one of little sympathy. The thought that perhaps they deserve it is one that can be difficult to dismiss. This is especially the case for violent offenders. I do not admit this with pride, but rather with a certain sense of shame…



But, we have a body of laws, constitutionally protected, for a reason. We are supposed to be a civilized Nation. And yet, as human beings, we sometimes cannot help but determine clear and profound distinctions between deserved or not. And thus, speaking to our human element, I myself cannot refrain from mentioning that the person I have spoken of, who is almost assuredly innocent, is not even being charged with a violent offense, but something extremely benign. Having hurt no one, this person’s intent was a pure motivation to help a community and also the environment. No crime beyond a remote possibility of a citation stemming from an old Virginia blue law was committed, and yet it was blown out of proportion by particular individual police officers into felony charges for personal reasons.



By now many are probably wondering, “why hasn’t someone, anyone, done anything about this?” or perhaps, “Why hasn’t this been reported to the official authorities?” The simple answer is that poor people have tried to contact every single person they can think of, and without any recognizable clout, they have been stonewalled at every attempt.



For example, the family of the inmate whose story I have disclosed have reached out to the authoritative figures within the administration, which were approached first, notified the individual’s physician (who promised to try to help if allowed), they have also made futile attempts at contacting the court appointed lawyer, and as a last recourse sought help from the media, both Local and National. The Local Media has offered to attempt to investigate and even suggested that conditions generally tend to improve once the facility is made aware of their presence. There has been, predictably, no response from any of the National Outlets. It is my belief that there is currently not enough “hype,” for the National Media to give notice to a story of a rural place in Virginia and it’s denizens.



In addition to the administration and media, the ACLU has been contacted about the abuses at WVRJ. Many people are anxiously awaiting a hopefully positive response from them, but they were only recently contacted, and the organization requests a minimum of several weeks for review prior to making a decision on accepting a case. That is of course perfectly understandable, but unfortunately, there are numerous people suffering now that need immediate help.



To those reading this article: the men and women quartered within WVRJ need your assistance and support, please! Public awareness is the most powerful asset these individuals can gain.



While the lawyer for the person I have spoken the most of is of course away on vacation… I have had a chance to gain some insight from another lawyer (one which has been privately hired rather than publicly assigned) representing a separate individual arrested in the same case. I have been informed of two great things this man spoke of: first of all, he believes that the charges against these two people are indeed extremely laughable, and he is amazed that they have not already been dropped. As reported to me, he literally laughed out loud while reviewing the warrant that had been issued. He has also noted that he still has yet to be provided a single shred of evidence from the prosecution. This is, for the long run, excellent news. Unfortunately, the one not being represented by this man is still stuck in jail, suffering irreparable physical and psychological damage while being denied bond and appropriate medical care, and it is unknown, especially now, how severe that damage will ultimately be.



The second point the lawyer wished to convey is on a more grand scale, involving the entire WVRJ and it’s inmates. He has admitted that at the moment his own hands are tied due to prior obligations, but he believes there is an obvious and easy case for Federal Civil Rights violations, and he has strongly urged that this must be pursued.



With this information I now implore any and all to spread the word. Post it online on all of your venues. Share and repost it. Perhaps one of you even knows of someone who could help? Please do anything and everything else you can think of to increase the public awareness of these atrocities.



The individuals I mentioned before are in fact facing decades of imprisonment on felony charges for crimes they have not committed. One of which whose health is so poor that if forced to remain imprisoned much longer, the charges may indeed become mute, regardless of whether they are eventually dismissed or not.



The upright and appropriate carriage of justice can occur, not only for the specific individuals I mentioned, but also for the others within WVRJ whose rights are being horribly violated. I believe that justice in this matter will only prevail if the public becomes aware and unifies itself in an effort to demand that our Constitution is upheld.



So far I have spoken mainly only to matters within the WVRJ. I did mention at the beginning of this piece that there is a 2-fold allegation of corruption in Montgomery County, VA. The second charge is pointed solely at the Montgomery County Sheriff’s office and certain individuals on its force. What I am aware of has been made known to me by the testimony of individuals both directly and indirectly involved in the arrest of the people I have interviewed, as well as by eyewitness accounts o neighbors and bystanders, and also photographic evidence.



Unfortunately, as much as my heart yearns to reveal all of the irrefutable evidence within my possession, the safety of those in my confidence must come first. The unique nature of this arrest is so extraordinarily identifiable in its absurdity that I am afraid my informants’ identities would most definitely be discovered were I to go into any specific details. I do truly hope to be able to share this terrifying, amazing, ridiculous, and horrifying story at some point in the near future, but after much reflection and many rough drafts, I have determined it is impossible to do so at the time being without compromising their anonymity.



I strongly urge that a statewide rather than local internal investigation should be performed. Indeed, I believe this should be demanded by the people, both of Montgomery County, VA and all others who have the opportunity to learn of this tale. The redacted details provide a history of an almost decade-long vendetta, due to a person having romantically spurned a horrible human in favor of a kind and generous one. This catalyst in history has led to much intrigue, including accusations of drugs and other nefarious misdoings among certain select members of the Montgomery County Sherriff’s police force. This is what led to the farcical arrest of law-abiding citizens, guilty of nothing but having invoked the wrath, power trip, and vengeance of certain members of that force.



I implore you all one last time! Please do not ignore or shrug off this story. Be vocal and demand that true justice is served!



Thank you!
