Let me tell you about just a portion of the discrimination that William and other inmates deal with at Northlake Correctional Facility. Last week a search was conducted by the staff at Northlake Correctional Facility on the housing unit of H-2. There was contraband found and about 6 inmates were taken to the segregation unit. William was one of those inmates. His cell and person were searched by the staff and they did not find any contraband on his person or in his cell. The staff at Northlake did write a disciplinary ticket for William, charging him with introduction of contraband. They held a disciplinary hearing on this ticket and in the hearing refused to answer William's questions about why or how he was being charged without having been found with contraband, or linked to the contraband that was found. William's hearing assistant also didn't properly help William to prepare for the hearing, he never brought him a policy that William asked for, in fact he never even came back to see William before the hearing. When William brought up these points during the hearing, they were ignored by the hearing officer. Despite a clear lack of evidence, William was found guilty at his disciplinary hearing and sentenced to 30 days in segregation. The staff at Northlake have shown that they make their own rules in regards to the disciplinary hearings and unfairly hold inmates in segregation for extended periods of time. William is currently spending his time in segregation working on legal appeals and grievances over the obvious lack of due process going on at Northlake Correctional Facility.
