A general outline of the type of illegal
retaliatory punishments inflicted upon SHU prisoners

and disciplinary reports against the prisoner
2.) Obstructions of and disappearances of incoming
and outgoing mail (personal family mail), including legal mail to or from
attorneys and courts (and news media)
3.) Denial and obstructions of medical and dental
care
4.) Deliberate exposure of prisoners to diseases
and viruses, such as T.B. and Hepatitis
5.) Frequent cell searches in which all the prisoners
properties are thrown all over the cell, often damaging personal photos
of family and personal property such as a T.V. or radio, etc.
6.) Delays and denials of visits with family members
and friend who may travel the great distance for a visit
7.) Misdelivery of mails to different prisoners
who may be enemies
8.) Denial of personal hygiene supplies such as
toilet paper, soap, toothpaste, etc.

14.) Physical beatings and threats of beatings
15.) Disappearances of legal documents submitted
