This is a call for compassionate release for Ed Poindexter who’s suffering due to Medical Neglect Who has been Imprison 50 plus years. 

Breaking News: Ed Poindexter's left leg was amputated below the knee earlier this month due to lack of proper medical care. Ed has diabetes and receives dialysis three days a week. He underwent triple bypass heart surgery in 2016.

Please support Ed by sending him a letter of encouragement to:

Ed Poindexter #27767
Reception and Treatment Center
P.O. Box 22800
Lincoln, NE 68542-2800

Ed has a cataract in one eye that makes it difficult for him to read, so please type your letter in 18 point or larger font. The Nebraska Department of Corrections does not plan to allow Ed to have surgery for the cataract because "he has one good eye."

PLEASE CALL: 

Warden Boyd of the Reception and Treatment Center (402-471-2861); 

Warden Wilhelm of the Nebraska State Penitentiary (402-471-3161);

Governor Pillen, the State of Nebraska Office of the Governor (402-471-2244);

Director Rob Jeffreys, Nebraska Department of Corrections 402-471-2654;

The Nebraska Board of Pardons (Email: ne.pardonsboard@nebraska.gov). 
 
Please sustain calls daily from April 15th to May 30th, 2023 for this intensive campaign, and thereafter as you can. 

[Any relief for Ed will be announced via email and social media].

Sample Message:

“Ed Poindexter’s family noticed blood on his feet several weeks ago. Then in April 2023, his niece and brother found out that Ed’s leg had been amputated earlier in the month. All of this happened without notifying Ed’s family, within the ‘skilled nursing facility’ at the Reception and Treatment Center, which specializes in behavioral issues and suicide watch, and is not primarily a rehab medical unit. Ed is on dialysis several days per week and is wheelchair bound, and is not able to shower or change without much more direct support than he is currently getting. The Nebraska Department of Corrections admits that their facilities are severely overcrowded and understaffed.  I, ___________,  join Ed’s family in demanding that Ed be given a compassionate release, and that he be immediately transferred to a local hospital or rehabilitation facility, not under direction of the Department of Corrections—where the standard of care is decent and humane.”
