We received this letter anonymously, which shows an alarming issue:
Truman Walker asphyxiated himself by hanging, on Friday November 8th 2013, in High Desert State Prison (HDSP), Nevada, because he was afforded no proper medical care, that is supposed to be necessitated by the State of Nevada (Nevada Department of Corrections (NDOC).
According to a written noteleft behind explaining his medical situation and supposedly now in State's evidence, Truman Walker was in such physical pain that he was forced to take his own life.
The most common response inmates receive from medical doctors, nurses and staff is that there is no treatment offered for chronic pain. Furthermore, HDSP does not even diagnose the cause and/or source of the pain.
In the past ten years this complete indifference to medical attention has been ignored year after year, death after death, with no accountability.
Anything you could do to assist Truman Walker's family in knowing the truth of his situation would be greatly appreciated.
See here for the original letter.
