Hanged man attempted suicide or prison scandal??
JUST SENT TO US FROM A MEMBER OF THIS SITE: Man in segregated unit attempts suicide; McNeil Island Corrections Center is covering up the fact that this is a direct result of Prison abuse and scandal not an attempted suicide.
[Tacoma], [WA],[Sep 18 2008] –Leon Toney was locked alone in a cell at the medium-security prison's segregation wing when an orderly found him Thursday, unconscious with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck.Toney was locked alone in a cell at the medium-security prison's segregation wing when an orderly found him Thursday, unconscious with a bedsheet wrapped around his neck.[The McNeil Island Corrections Center has not giving the family any or very little answers have been provided for serious questions in terms of their procedures and how this could happen in a controlled environment. Keep in mind, this happened while Leon Toney was in isolation. This is a very secure process within the prison process. There are guidelines and procedures that regulate how this process should carried out. The Neil Island Corrections Center has all rights regarding the medical well being of this man. Several times family members were cohersed by (St Joseph Medical Centers Staff) into making an on the spot decision on “Pulling the Plug” and donate his organs without proper medical advice. At that time they were informed that his
condition was grim from a PA who isn’t certified to practice medicine in the state of Washington without supervision. [After her son was found, Valerie Toney said, it was other inmates, not prison officials, who broke the news to her. Text messages sent by inmates using phones smuggled into the prison poured into her phone, she said. But when she pressed for more information, prison staff members stonewalled her and Toney's other relatives. Valerie Toney said her son paid $500 to have a cell phone. That phone, she said, was the "serious contraband" that landed Toney in isolation. Van Boening disputed that assertion, saying that other contraband was found in the cell. He declined to say what guards uncovered.
[Valerie Toney said she believes her son was attacked by someone worried that he would reveal how he received the illicit cell phone as well as other illegal contraband.]
