Roderick Q. Hickman, Secretary
California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation
Dear Mr. Hickman;
Since you are the secretary of the CDCR, you are the one person most responsible for our prison system and its current dysfunction. This dysfunction is at every level within every prison and every department therein. The problems at hand can only be remedied by you in conjunction with your staff. The overcrowding, the medical neglect issues that have resulted in needless deaths, the abuses by your staff upon the inmates- make me ask you- the person in charge and the overseer- "What is really going on inside our prison system?" The families and loved ones of the inmates know, first hand. And yet when we try to bring about change or awareness to the situations-nothing happens! Why? Judge Henderson has placed the California Prison system medical into federal receivership-was that not a serious enough wake up call? YOU are the one that MUST be held accountable- the buck stops with you, Secretary Hickman, you hold the cards and have the power. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO? WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? WHAT IS NEXT IN YOUR GAME PLAN?
How many more inmates must die because of incompetence, neglect, guard set ups, and careless housing before something is really done? It is time, past time, Secretary Hickman to make the much and sorely needed changes in our prison system. You must start answering the public, the taxpayers, the mothers, fathers, wives and children of the inmates that are SUFFERING. Take action. We as concerned citizens are taking action-organizing, briefing the media and spreading the word. Changes are imminent- we will not be silenced.
Regards,
