Vicki Flohr Department of Corrections Right-to-Know Officer Box 598 Camp Hill, PA 17001-0598 Right-to-Know Requests SCI-Frackville Local policies Dear Ms Flohr: Pursuant to 65 PS 66.1 et seq., I request access to the below listed public records for the purpose of making inspection, copies and republication. 1. Please make available all the local rules and local procedures governing family visiting at SCI-Frackville including those governing both visitors and prisoners, but not the general rules published at DC-ADM 812, only the bizarre local Frackville procedures. I'm especially interested in local policies which encourage a guard to request me (a woman) to remove my shirt and/or to turn my pockets inside out where men did not appear to be requested to submit to similar indignities. The multitude of obsessively intrusive and pointlessly trivial minutia appears to go beyond simple mismanagement and inept bumbling into actual malice and contempt. On 16 April 2003 I attempt to obtain these regulations from Superintendent [Robert] Shannon, but was ignored. 2. Please make available the local prisoners' rules at SCI- Frackville along with the roster of the full names and titles of the local managerial/executive staff. The document I want to see is the so-called Local Supplement to the Inmate Handbook. It comprises all the ridiculous local rules. I especially want to see and copy the sections which limit the times when oversized envelopes may be mailed, which require sick persons to wait outdoors in the weather to receive medication and which forbid a prisoner to carry his wife's letter in his pocket in the messhall. My husband made a good faith effort to obtain a copy of the roster of local administrators and/or of the local supplement to the rule book. He couldn't obtain one. He wrote to the local administrative assistant on 29 March. In spite of the fact that he is daily harangued, harassed and badgered by overly pugnacious guards purportedly enforcing "rules," he and other prisoners are not provided with the official published version of the rules he/they must obey. What, do the corrections officers just make it up as they limp along? I am: Sandra Feigley, Publisher
