Update and Urgent Health Call-In Campaign for Political Prisoner Ed
Poindexter
April 15, 2023

*Dear Comrades and Friends:*

We just received news that 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 at 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.”
