WISDOM Listening Session on DOC Experiences Thursday, February 4

Save the Date!!
February 4, 2016 5:00 to 7:00 pm
Grace Episcopal Church
116 W. Washington Avenue, Madison
for a LISTENING SESSION
regarding The Department of Corrections

People are invited to come to tell their own experiences related to:

  • Excessive Crimeless Revocations (being revoked back to prison for a “technical violation” of Supervision rules)
  • Denial of opportunity for parole for “Old Law” prisoners who have already been in prison longer than the sentencing judge required.
  • Excessive use of Solitary Confinement
  • Lack of “Compassionate Release” for elderly and ill prisoners.

The Department of Corrections has refused to meet with the community or to respond to legitimate concerns.  Legislators, media, and people of good will are invited to hear for themselves about many concerns regarding this unaccountable system.
With questions, please contact David Liners at 414-736-2099, or at david.liners1@gmail.com.  You can also contact him if you have a story to tell and want to be certain to get on the speakers’ list.
