John Adams once said, It is more important that innocence be protected than it is that guilt be punished, for guilt and crimes are so frequent in this world that they cannot all be punished. But if innocence itself is brought to the bar and condemned, perhaps to die, then the citizen will say, ‘whether I do good or whether I do evil is immaterial, for innocence itself is no protection,’ and if such an idea as that were to take hold in the mind of the citizen that would be the end of security whatsoever.” We are there folks… the end of our security… Look around stop watching the news and start to look and think for yourselves!!!

I am not so sure. I’d like to speak to any of the followers here that have a loved one in any of the prisons or jails in Wisconsin, please let us know if what we read in the papers is true or is the reality far different? ______________________________________________ Data on the DOC’s website shows 8 DOC employees have tested positive for coronavirus in various facilities, but there are no known positive cases among inmates. If an inmate would get COVID-19, the inmate, along with those who had contact with them, would be quarantined. On the website it says, Each institution determines the area within their facility most conducive to such isolation procedures. Individuals that are quarantined for any contagious disease are quarantined in separate areas.” According to the DOC, visitations and inmate transfers have been suspended, inmate movement is limited and wellness checks are being carried out on those deemed to be high-risk. If the virus spreads, like the anonymous inmate fears, the DOC says it has a contingency plan in place. It’s activated the Department Emergency Operations Center to help coordinate resources, staffing and medical surveillance agency-wide.

You’d think that prosecutors were scraping by on impossibly low levels of funding while public defenders enjoyed the full cooperation of cops and routinely pushed the legal and ethical envelope without consequences. You’d think that criminal defendants and their attorneys were constantly dragging victims and their families through lengthy trials, rather than overwhelmingly opting for plea bargains . You’d think what passes for due process” in a criminal jury trial placed the defense at an advantage, rather than increasing the odds that the defendant will get a tougher sentence or even face more serious charges—what lawyers call thetrial tax .” You’d think that our systems of prosecution, policing, and incarceration were somehow not reckless or vindictive enough. Wisconsin voters should not only vote no on the ballot question, but also demand accountability from public figures and organizations in Wisconsin who have supported the measure. That includes Democratic and Republic state legislators, Democratic Wisconsin Attorney General Josh Kaul, dozens of sheriffs and DAs, and organizations that otherwise do righteous work, including the Wisconsin Coalition Against Sexual Assault and the Wisconsin Nurses Association. Something incredibly weird has to be going on when such organizations make common cause with entities as profoundly vile as police unions.

Tony Evers halting prison admissions to prevent COVID-19 spread | Crime | madison.com by Lara K. • March 23, 2020 • 0 Comments The order puts a moratorium” on prisoner intake for DOC’s prisons and juvenile detention facilities, with the exception of the temporary detention of those on probation, parole or extended supervision. All internal transfers of prisoners within DOC are also suspended except for essential transfers,” Neal said Saturday. The DOC secretary has the power to lift the moratorium at any time. In a statement, Evers and DOC Secretary Kevin Carr said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution” to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Under the order, any defendant who is sentenced to prison will be held in a county jail instead of being transferred to one of DOC’s more than 30 prison facilities across the state. Neal said most individuals who violate probation and parole rules would also go to the county jails, but some would go to a DOC facility in Milwaukee that is specifically for felons who violate their supervision terms. It is the only such DOC facility. Source: Wisconsin Gov.
