UPDATE ON MATT
Remember Matthew Roark, the 19 year old state witness/prisoner who the law failed to protect?
[ http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/prison/ruark.html ]
His mother, Ms. Lindy Shelby, went to Hendry CI to visit Matt a few days ago because she's been
so worried about the
20 pounds he lost during the two months in confinement.
To her shock, she saw with her own eyes leftover bruises on his face from the beating he took
the day he was released
into open population. Just as she tried to tell the DOC, the gangs were waiting for him.
Today she called Charlotte CI to talk to Dr. Cobb about when Matt is going to be seen for the
weight loss he sustained
during August and September. When Lindy asked for Dr.Cobb, she was transferred to Crystal at
Charlotte CI. Crystal is the
DOC chief administrator of health at that facility. When Lindy asked to speak to Dr. Cobb about
her son's weight loss, Crystal
most unprofessionally informed Lindy that, "Oh, no. He won't be talking to you - That won't be
happening again. His boss
jumped all over him last week when he talked to you and he won't be talking to families anymore."
Then Crystal chuckled!
Lindy told Crystal that she had permission to access her son's medical info, and asked for an
email address for Dr. Darmess and/or Dr. Cobb.
Crystal said" just send [the information] to me".
The doctors work for Wexford Health Care based out of Pittsburgh.
NOTE FROM LINDY SHELBY: I want it on the record loud & clear that we will not give permission
for the DOC or their employees or representatives to remove the bullet in Matt's neck.
I say that because when I spoke with Dr Cobb, he mentioned that removing the bullet was a
possibility that might be considered.
------I stated then and there that removal was NOT a possibility, after all, the professional
neurosurgeons at All Children's Hospital and Bayfront Hospital have already made it clear that
removing the bullet would be extremely risky and they would not even consider it.
I said "NO WAY".
WHAT YOU CAN DO:
Without your support, Matt will fall further into the cracks, his mother will have a nervous
breakdown, the administration will continue to look the other way, and the guards will become
more dangerous to themselves, the prisoners, and the public.
Please contact someone on this list. Express outrage that prisoners' rights to protection and
medical care is being denied. Express the sorrow that families of prisoners, who are guilty of
nothing but Love, have to be tormented. Express Justice, that the laws apply to prison guards
too! Demand professionalism in uniform, or the need for change, but please, contact someone!
