Excerpt:
"A visitor to the Monroe County jail on New Year’s Day reported the following:
Walt looked and talked fine. He gets daily treatment and monitoring from the contract nurses who work for the jail. He is also getting a low glycemic diet, amazingly. He has spent very few days solo in Cell 9. He asked that a point be made, which I concur with, that the folks in the trenches are decent and caring. The problem with the “system” in Monroe County is with the gargoyles in charge. If there are any write ups, nurses Shelly and Emily should be mentioned by name.
Further . . Walt has been shuttled around, again, to Louden County and back, and to different cells in the Monroe County jail. In the process of all that, I have no idea why, he was denied shower access. So, yesterday, 24 days after his arrest, the nurses ordered the jail to allow him to shower, for health reasons. The inmates in that cell must ask for shower privileges. If the jailer is not allowed to grant it, the inmate is denied.
The reason for the shuffling around is to avoid the harassment that the Sheriffs Department receives from folks calling in. It is important to continue calling the SO, if for no other reason than to inquire about Walt’s health. The more visible the SO thinks he is, the safer he will be.
Walt has received no packages, it is not allowed. He has $25 in his commissary account and is now looking for $20 more that was left this week.. He receives first class mail and mail marked legal paperwork. Most importantly, he is also allowed to receive books.
A hearing will be held on the 10th at 1300 hrs.”
