Can you please have him seen for his request for psychiatric medication? I understand he has not expressed any psychological concerns in the past, but he is facing the death penalty and is currently in SHU facing disciplinary charges. Thanks!¶

Good morning,¶
I was able to see Nick last night. Thank you for arranging a room for him. He reports that he has not had his hearing yet and the conditions in his cell remain the same. He was told by a guard that he is going to be denied visits, phone calls and commissary for a year, in addition to being held in SHU for 90 days. Water is constantly leaking into the cell, which he now shares with another inmate. He still has not received the updated discovery hard drive. He has only been given three short books which he read several times, despite having new books sent to him (we have the receipts indicating that MCC has received them). He does not have the paper discovery he had prior to being placed in SHU. Recently, he found a dead rodent in his bed. Apparently he accidently smothered it while sleeping. The lights in the cell are frequently off during the day and on at night. Nick has asked to be given medication to treat his increased depression and anxiety. His mental health is diminishing rapidly.¶
I understand that the cell phone justifies some sanction, but the troubling conditions in the cell should be rectified. Lastly, I hope the guard who told Nick about his punishment is mistaken.¶
