In regards to your inquiry to OffenderH^I^^HHf Ihave spoken to the counselors in the unit regarding their<br />
interactions with him. Recently this ofrenaerhas been logged for using inappropriate language and for drawjncnDictures of<br />
marijuana leaves that he posts in his cell or shares with other offenders. The drawings were disposed byflflHHHafter<br />
staff <strong>request</strong>ed, and new materials were given to him since he had made these drawings on state issued materials; It was,<br />
explained to the offender that Lower A is a co-occurring disorders program, it is expected that the offenders here program<br />
ioaddress their chemical dependency issues as well as their mental health issues. The same approach was used with<br />
•HHHfes with any other offender in the unit, the option was explained to him that ifhe continues to fail to program with<br />
TuoW^mCere <strong>part</strong>icipation that he would no longer be eligible for this unit and may be transferred to another unit or<br />
custody appropriate facility. These are the same terms that were discussed with him upon placement to the unit. Never<br />
was he threatened to be transferred off island due to drawing his medical marijuana, those come in pills and he was<br />
drawing leaves / plants. In addition I have <strong>request</strong>ed that the counselors be clear in their statements to him regarding his<br />
disruptive behavior or failure to program and to chrono every interaction with him.<br />
I have attached the counselors statements. Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.<br />
