The Demeter Foundation continues to receive complaints about the substandard health care at Taycheedah Correctional Institute in Fond du Lac, WI. Lack of competent care puts the women at high risk for permanent damage or death. Recently a family member of an inmate contacted us to say that a wound on a woman's hand was producing a red line going up her arm (a sign of blood poisoning) and the woman was told by HSU to drink water and take Tylenol. She had dropped slips asking for additional appointments and to date has been ignored. SINCE THAT TIME the young woman was rushed to St. Agnes Hospital where she had to have surgery because of her deteriorating medical condition. Perhaps it is time for another class action law suit to be filed against the WI Department of Corrections for inhumane treatment. PLEASE FORWARD THIS BLOG POST and demand humane treatment for these women.
The Demeter Foundation's Welcome Home Kit for Wisconsin women re-entering our communities is now available in 20 counties. Women can apply for the kit within 60 days of release.
