possession “with intent to manufacture, distribute or deliver. (961.41.)” She has had multiple major heart surgeries, has
type 2 diabetes and is on oxygen. She is now housed in unit with young people and finds it confusing, noisy and consequently very stressful. To her
requests to be moved , she is told there is no room
anywhere else.
Ron Schilling 32219 KMCI
Born In 1951, Ron Schilling
is now 63 and has been incarcerated since 1976, 39 plus years. He killed a man during a drug deal gone bad. He was a Viet Nam Veteran and there is good
reason to believe that he was incapititated and not aware of what he was doing
at the time of the crime,(see his letter in application) but he has never shied away from taking
responsibility for the death. He has
served his time well, staying clear of major conduct reports and earning
several advanced degrees while PEL grants were still available. He is a fine
musician, poet, and litigator and an inspiration to those around him. Ron was granted parole by Leonard Wells until he became
victim of the new tough on crime rhetoric that also cost Leonard Wells his
job.
Terrance Shaw 138254, OSCI,
born 1948, now 66, incarcerated since 1982..
Terrance was a Viet Nam war
veteran with what would now be called PTSD. His crime was horrendous and also
he was horrendously ill . He has been in prison for 32 years on a life
sentence. He has been absolutely sincere is his attempt to redeem himself and
we ask that he be given a second chance.
“When I first came to prison in
1982 I didn't even know my high school fractions, decimals, and percents. But
during my first year in prison I got clean and sober and had a Spiritual
Awakening. I studied hard for my own personal enrichment to remedy my
mathematical deficit and went on to the University of Wisconsin-Extension and
got 4-credits in Algebra and 3-credits in Accounting, and became a prison GED
math tutor.
I also took and successfully completed the 4-year Ambassador Bible College correspondence course by Herbert W. Armstrong out of Passadena California. After that I took and successfully completed the 3-year Kenneth S. Hagin's RHEMA Bible College correspondence course out of Tulsa Oklahoma for 60-credits.
Then I want on to get a Master's Degree in Religious Studies, a Doctorate in Biblical Studies, and a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion. My Doctoral Dissertation is registered and copyrighted at the Library of Congress in Washington, D.C.
Here at OSCI I had a meeting with Chaplain Reinke and let her know that when I am paroled I would like to apply with the WDOC for an Assistant Chaplain's position, since I believe I am called by God -and my religious correspondence courses make me qualified.”
