Pink DC DOC Appeal-Deputy Director form (PP 4030.1 Attachment G) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/1/22. Appeals Warden IGP #20220527-604. Reason: DC DOC refusing to respond to these issues even when multiple IGPs have been submitted on the issue. Submits copies per policy, then has his copy taken and never receives a response, effectively stripping him of his paper trail on legitimate security and safety issues at the jail. The jail would rather try to use a loophole to not answer legitimate issues and while turning a blind eye to officers and staff who break their own policy, and also act criminal. This is negligence and complete disregard for human life and moral stability at its finest.

Pink DC DOC Appeal-Deputy Director form (PP 4030.1 Attachment G) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/1/22. Appeals IGP (Wardens) #20220527-604. Reason: DC DOC refusing to give a reason or explanation regarding a situation that became dangerous and affected him directly and other resulted in the termination of a Lieutenant. The facility asks for copies of our IGPs then purposely doesnt answer, stripping us of our copies and ability to follow up. Demands answers to these issues and is wasting more trust to show that this jail would rather ignore issues than (currently rather than) confront and fix the issues at hand.

Pink DC DOC Appeal-Deputy Director form (PP 4030.1 Attachment G) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/1/22. Appeals Warden IGP #20220527-613. Captain Cobb came in months back and recorded on body cam that this issue was under investigation. Was never given a copy of the IGP, leaving him with no paper trail. Since that time has sent multiple IGPs asking for a response to the issue only to be ignored. Tired of waiting for an answer to an issue that should have been resolved months ago and has happened since as well with other inmates (COVID-19 related). This appeal to the deputy director serves as my proof that I have tried to resolve this issue with the entire IGP process.

Pink DC DOC Warden Administrative Remedy form (PP 4030.1 Attachment F) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/1/22. Escalates Formal IGP #20220527-603. The response stated Non-Grievable - See attached and the attached said this issue in the grievance is addressed in Grievance # 20220512-238. Asserts that IGP is a totally separate issue and has nothing to do with this IGP. If the answer remains the same about the issue being investigated, he furthermore wants to send this to the Warden for an investigation response, which he never received. Notes he is not attaching his only copy until he receives a 2nd copy, as DC DOC is notorious for not responding to my IGP escalations, which strips me of my ability to have a paper trail and follow up. The IGP # at the top should work sufficiently, for an issue it has recently been responding to.
