Need a federal investigation into taxpayers money being diverted to private use

2nd DOC number takes you to a menu. I pressed 3 for the Inspector Generals office and spoke to Veronica in the Inspector General's office. She said a complaint for investigation can be made with the Bureau of Contract Management and Monitoring. I couldn't catch the name of the person on their voicemail but their direct number is 850-717-3954 Also office of health services Thomas Reimers and doctor Timothy Whalen Centurion: FDCHealthcareInquiries@centurionoffl.com or 844-474-5952 FDC Office of Health Services FDCHealthCare@fdc.myflorida.com or 850-717-3277

I pressed 4 for medical on the menu. The person transferred me to the Control Room. You can ask for Mitchell and or Bryner but I wasn't able to get a person live on the phone.

The first number just takes you to a menu, I hit 8 to talk to the business office, spoke to a human and left a message for the warden. The second number also takes you to a menu, I hit four for institutions, left a message on an answering machine.

I emailed Gov. DeSantis...this was response I got. I didn’t mention IWOC or use the suggested script in my email but they knew. Hello, I have received your correspondence regarding Martin C.I. for review and response. As it appears your concerns are in relation to the IWOC PhoneZap request I’m providing you with the full response to the concerns listed on that website. I would like to assure you that in addition to ensuring the care and custody of the inmate population, the Department strives to assist and encourage all inmates to be prepared for the hopeful re-entry into society. Anything that we can do to help prepare inmates for re-entry is one of the most crucial focuses of the Department. To that effect the Department requires our staff to act in a professional and ethical manner at all times. No exceptions will be tolerated. If at any time I find evidence that staff have harassed any of the inmates in our care I will act swiftly to ensure the matter is dealt with to the extent of department policy and if applicable state and federal laws. Staff members at our facility ensure food being served is in compliance with, state statutes, state administrative code (to include F.A.C. 64E-11, Department of Health), department procedures, and national accreditation standards. This includes foods being served to inmates in special housing and to staff. Sanitation practices are compliant with those outlined in state statutes, state administrative code, department procedures, and national accreditation standards. Our food service staff ensure that clear, concise instructions for the operation and cleaning of the physical plant, equipment, and utensils are conspicuously posted for reference by staff and inmates. Several methods for washing and sanitizing food service equipment and utensils are listed in F.A.C. 64E-11. Manual cleaning or dishwashers are both used. Martin C.I. uses the manual method and utilizes three compartment sinks, not trash cans as you’ve been told. All state correctional facilities receive frequent inspections by internal staff and outside agencies of the food service operations and sanitation in order to ensure that they comply with the rules set forth in state statutes, state administrative code, department procedures, and national accreditation standards. External inspections/audits are conducted by the Department of Health and American Correctional Association. The Florida Department of Health utilizing local county health departments will conduct tri-annual unannounced sanitation and safety inspections. The American Correctional Association conducts an audit of food service once every three years. The food service department has not failed a single audit in the three years I’ve been assigned to the facility and the last audits by the health department received high marks. Internal inspections are conducted by Central Office staff, regional staff, facility administration, facility Environmental Health and Safety staff, facility food service staff, and facility security staff. Central Office staff conduct operational reviews every other year, regional staff conduct quarterly unannounced inspections. Facility administration conduct weekly inspections, the EHSO conducts weekly and monthly inspections, food service staff conduct daily inspections, and security staff conduct daily inspections. The Department uses integrated pest management techniques including regular assessments and appropriate use of low odor pesticides or baits to manage pests as safely and efficiently as possible. Our food service department is treated with routine monthly pesticide applications by a contracted vendor. If issues are noticed outside of the scheduled appointment the contractor returns to the facility and applies treatment as necessary. The kitchen is not infested with rats and roaches, any sign of such vermin would result in the contractor returning to service the area. The master menu is developed by a licensed nutritionist and reviewed by a committee in central office to ensure the dietary needs of the inmate population are being met and that we are serving the best product, as efficiently, and cost effectively as possible. Deviations from the master menu are allowed when Deviations from the master menu are permitted are permitted due to production and or equipment problems, product availability, security issues, use of farm produce or as authorized by the Warden. Substitutions must be made with another food item from within food groups as indicated int the Food Substitution List from the Master Menu Manual. If substitutions are made, staff ensure that a variety of foods within each food group are provided during the week. This can be done by using alternate recipes or alternate cooking methods. Portion sizes will be the same as on the Master Menu unless otherwise indicated. All substitutions are recorded on production logs and DC2-418 audit sheets. While staff dining programs may be available at other facilities Martin C.I. does not have such a program. Inmates are not fed swill and there would be no instance where the staff were fed anything out of food service as alleged in your letter. Furthermore, if food spoils it is disposed of, inmates are not served spoiled food and there are no records of any gastrointestinal outbreaks which would be substantial if the conditions you’ve described actually took place. Mr. Mitchell does not steal food for his restaurants as alleged in your correspondence. Staff are subject to searches entering and exiting the facility, there is no way that Mr. Mitchell could smuggle the amount of food that you are alleging out of the facility. Furthermore, Mr. Mitchell does not own any restaurants or work outside of his job at our facility. There was a notice posted regarding the Certified Food Option that was drafted by a former chaplain at our facility who was under the impression that filing grievances about the contents of the CFO violated the agreement inmates sign when they request to participate in the CFO program. I became aware of this through the grievance process and addressed it immediately. As stated above, we do not tolerate any form of abuse, neglect, or retaliation. If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to contact me directly. John Holtz Assistant Warden Martin CI Florida Department of Corrections 1150 SW Allapattah Rd Indiantown, FL 34956 Office: (772) 597 – 8076

During the few years that I spent incarcerated in FLDOC I heard some C.O.'s use an over abundance of profanity. I was often referred to as " fat ass mother fucker" amongst other profanities but I NEVER heard ANY Employee use a racial slur.

An inmate said officers stoop over my dying son laughing while he struggled for his life

My son was murdered in martin correctional also. I'm sorry to hear about your brother. My condolences to you and your family. I'm definitely not going to let nobody walk away from my son unnecessary death. I'm taking this to the media and fight for his civil rights that was taken from him. All the cover ups and the Florida lawyer and investigators are all down with the cover ups. I hope what ever they get paid to do this to our family. I pray that GOD WON'T TAKE LONG FOR IT TO HIT HOME. karma is a bitch. How do they sleep at night??? They don't realize they can be in the same prison one day with the same people. KARMA

That's not the only thing going on at Martin CI..The officer's treatment of inmates and family members is not what the department of corrections advertise to the public.. Major Frost instructions to his staff members is to treat all inmates as a product first and a human last..It flows over to family members when we come to visit...The living conditions of the dorms need to be investigated..No cold water to drink, showers stopped up with dirty water for days..No heat in the winter time
