More From the Inside

I'm a corrections client of the Department of Corrections (DOC) in Jackson, MI. I am also a student of criminal law. I'm on my way out of the prison system. I caught sight of your column on the guards treating the women at their facilities as if they are sex objects. I'm very much interested in this because they treat us men at the South Complex the same way.

   We've loaded the courts with all types of lawsuits. We have guards that rape female guards and all types of things.

   We here at South Complex have the same identical problem and most of the men are on the verge of a riot. I can guarantee you this, the state of Michigan may lock these men down, but there will be so much damage, fatalities and destruction done that families will then begin to see the whole [problem]. As with the women, the Administration encourages this kind of mess.     The public needs to be warned. It's useless to contact the Governor, DOC director, or most senators as they've closed their eyes to this. We've written on numerous occasions yet, to no avail.
