The DOD regs. require 80 sq. ft of living space per inmate, the inmates at Ft. Lewis are given 40 sq. ft.
The DOD regs require 1 shower for every 8 inmates. In Kevin's unit, there are 2 showers for 20 inmates. There is 1 working sink there for 20 inmates, and 2 working toilets.
There is supposed to be rehabilitation classes. Kevin, of all people, is required to take a class in "The Impact of Crimes on Victims." AMAZING!!!!
There are no rehab classes.. the justification is that the war is expensive and they cannot afford to offer them.
Kevin is eligible for parole on Jan. 27th, but first the Convening Authority here must approve his conviction and the sentence. He has not done this to this date. In order to have a parole board hearing, Kevin must have a confirmed place to stay, comfirmed employment, no counseling statements, and I am soliciting letters of reference from as many people as possible, to be mailed to the parole office at Ft. Lewis by the middle of November, with a copy to me as well, so that the prison cannot say that they did not receive them.
There is so much more -- this is just the beginning.
But - we feel that it is very important that this information find its way to the public from as many directions as possible.
Also -- there was a Cpt. here at Ft. Stewart, in Kevin's unit, Cpt. Schenk, S-1, 2-7th infantry. This Cpt. received 45 days confinement for selling Body Armor on EBAY.. each piece was valued at $2000.00. This man was selling it for $4,000 a piece.
There's more... much more.

Would you like to add that the female guards at Ft. Lewis were operating a prostitution ring? They, and a couple of the male guards, at least one of which was discharged for this, arranged for a separate personal bank account, and gave the number to inquiring inmates. These inmates would then transfer funds from their commissary account to the personal bank account. Once the funds transferred.. the final transaction was arranged.
Would you also like to mention that not all inmates are lucky enough to have someone to leave their personal property with? Some have to leave it in the property room. Many leave debit and credit cards. One inmate was willing to give me his name. He was incarcerated at Ft. Lewis all last month, and his debit card was in the property room. Still, someone managed to use his debit card to charge $270.00 at the Ft. Lewis PX. Several other soldiers have reported amounts even greater being charged to their card. They are not in the position to be able to do anything about this.
