PLEASE CALL AND WRITE ON BEHALF OF THIS LONG-SUFFERING BRO., IS THIS NOT TORTURE??!
============

Long time New Kmtyw Freedom Fighter and Political Prisoner, Russell Maroon Shoatz has glaucoma and cataracts in both eyes and needs surgery to correct the cataracts.

Dr Jin (who is the doctor at SCI-Greene) said he would submit the paper work for the surgery, but hasn't.

Maroon's daughter, Theresa Shoatz, called SCI Greene and spoke to Dan Davis, who said said he was emailing Dr. Jin as they spoke,
to speed up the paper work for Maroon's surgery. Dr. Jin responded to
the email by sending Maroon back to the eye doctor who diagnosed the
cataracts. Once again the eye doctor told Maroon, you don't need to see me
you need to see the surgeon. The eye doctor told Maroon he would
tell Dr. Jin to once again submit the paperwork for the surgery.

Maroon is also in need of a typewriter, due to the side effects of taking Cipro
for more than a year.  Maroon began taking Cipro in 2005 for his prostate
infection. The FDA has warned the public about the terrible side
effects of Cipro, which often causes damage to a person's tendons. Maroon is experiencing
terrible pain in the chest, arm, and hands. The tendons surrounding
the muscle in those areas are inflamed. Maroon said the pain is constant and describes the pain similar to a broken bone. There is swelling and
no ice is  available. Maroon complained that writing is difficult, therefore we
asked the warden for a typewriter. Theresa spoke to the warden, who told her to just order it, as long as Maroon has enough money in his account, which he does. The warden called Theresa back later and told her that's it's unfair to the other  prisoners on Administrative Custody (AC)status if Maroon is able to purchase a typewriter since AC status prisoners are not allowed to own typewriters. Maroon is housed in the capital area (death row). Death row prisoners are allowed typewriters.
 
We are asking people to call the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Medical Chief of Staff, Dr. Schraff and request that Russell Shoats AF-3855, confined at SCI-Greene:
