We,respectfully submit this petition to demand immediate action to improve the inhumane conditions at Green Bay Correctional Institution.
1. Excessive Confinement
- Inmates are allowed out of their cells for only 4 hours per week.
- This extreme isolation causes serious mental health deterioration, including depression, anxiety, and trauma.
2. Unsanitary and Unsafe Living Conditions
- Inmates are often confined in cells contaminated with human waste (feces on walls, floors, or fixtures).
- Lack of cleaning supplies and sanitation poses serious health risks (infections, respiratory illness, gastrointestinal disease).
3. Our Demands
We demand that Green Bay Correctional Institution and the Wisconsin Department of Corrections:
- Increase minimum out-of-cell time to at least 2 hours per day in line with national correctional standards.
- Ensure basic sanitation in all cells, including immediate cleaning of feces and provision of adequate cleaning supplies.
- Provide proper mental health care and monitoring for inmates subjected to prolonged confinement. - Conduct regular inspections to ensure compliance with constitutional and human rights standards.
4. Support
This petition is signed by members of the community who believe in the dignity and humane treatment of all individuals, regardless of incarceration status.
