Pink DC DOC Appeal-Deputy Director form (PP 4030.1 Attachment G) filed by Ryan Nichols (DCDC# 376795, C2B) on 6/10/22. Responds to Deputy Director response of 6/9/22. Of 6 dates mentioned in their response, he was actually only seen and helped by mental health 2 of 6 times (4/27 and 5/17). Was not seen by mental health on 5/6, even though he requested to be seen on 5/5 and 5/6. Mental health was not available; the chaplain only asked whether he was suicidal or not, and not (in worsened conditions) cell that he was in at SHU-A. On 5/7 (5/8) he was only asked questions through a glass for everyone around to hear, the same questions being are you still feeling suicidal. The same exactly happened on 5/9. Mental Health only once a month for documented PTSD/ICD-10 sufferer is wholly inadequate.

Two points: (1) Has been asking for Step 3 Warden IGPs for a week without response; numerous IGPs and C2B just received them today, hence the late response. (2) The IGP for mental health is not resolved: he did NOT get seen by mental health provider on 5/6 as stated in Formal response. Was seen by a doctor who then took him to a worse location than SHU; received no mental healthcare on 5/6, which is the day he informed the facility for the 2nd day in a row about suicidal ideation.

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.

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.

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.
