Corcoran Strike for Medical Care Leads to Hospitalization of Diabetic

Thanks to everyone who called, wrote, or circulated the message—but our fight is not over!

Advocacy is still needed for the following issues:

Kambui Robinson's health is in a dire state and he needs to be permanently moved into a medical care facility such as the one in Vacaville. Diabetic complications have left his eyesight so bad that he has not been able to read for several weeks, and he is has been experiencing stroke-like symptoms for the past several weeks.

Michael Durrough is still without an extension cord for his CPAP machine, which is necessary for his sleep apnea. Without this cord, which is allowable property but currently withheld on warden's discretion, Michael risks the possibility of stopping breathing while sleeping every night.

Heshima Denham needs immediate attention to severe pain he is experiencing on his right side. He is in constant pain and it has become extremely disruptive to daily activity. He needs an MRI as well as kidney and liver tests in order to diagnosis this pain.

We need adequate medical care for everyone in CSP-Corcoran! At this time, please continue to contact the below officials alerting them to the immediate needs of Kambui Robinson, Michael Dorrough and Heshima Denham. Calls to the Receiver's office are especially welcome. (The receiver's office will call you back and will tell you that they can't give out peoples' personal medical info, but all you need to do is reply that you're not asking for such info and are just asking that the individuals you have called about receive appropriate and timely care.)
