Next I would like to address the Law about Equal Protection so you may also consider it where I am personally concerned with my incarceration and the belated/illegal SOTP that is being played in a Catch-22 by the Parole Commission and SOTP, which is 100% outside of my control. I know the Parole Commission can exercise its discretion according to its own whim. Yet I still want to point out that the WDOC has me doing 32-years of consecutive incarceration (so far) for my crime, while in Wagner v. State, 277 N.W.2d 849, Wisconsin prisoner Wagner was released on his Life Sentence on May 3, 1991 after serving sixteen years of incarceration, for the rape and murder of SusoiReignier. Ms. Reignier was found in a creek bed under a bridge in Brown County. Ms. Reigner had been raped and murdered and had apparently been dead for some time. Her corpse was repeatedly raped night after night by Richard Wagner. WDOC prisoner Wagner was paroled on rape and murder (a similarly situated crime as mine) after serving sixteen years of incarceration, AND he never took or completed SOTP. When my crime and Mt. Wagner's crime are compared side by side, I fail to see the parity in how I am being unequally treated under the law to now Mt. Wagner was treated under the law. I have many more similar examplesof Lifer cases, but I will just point out this one, to show you (BLOW THE WHISTLE ON) how I am being unequally treated by the WDOC Parole Commission. Governor Walker, you and/or your staff might want to familiarize yourself with the Judge's Decision in both, Kerr v. Farrey, 95 F.3d 472, 479 (7th Circuit 1996) where, "The 7th Circuit has recognized that where a prisoner's failure to successfully complete a program affects his chances for parole, his participation is being coerced;" and Green v. Black, 755 F.2d 687 (1985) where the Court of Appeals ruled about prisoner discrimination by prison officials preventing the inmate from being seriously considered for parole by preventing the inmate from completing their prison SOTP program.

Well this is about The Big Picture at this time, Governor Walker. I hope you seriously consider the issues I have BLOWN THE WHISTLE to you on today, as well as seriously consider my enclosed resume' and possibly helping me get a career/job placement that suits my educational achievements and credentials I currently have and would like employment in, ...as a success story about the WDOC and one prisoner's rehabilitation. If it wasn't for the Catch-22 games by the Parole Commission and WDOC SOTP, I could have been a gainfully employed, tax paying citizen, ever since 2003 when I had successfully satisfied my original 1982-1983 WDOC A&E SOT program recommendation. Please, don't allow your Parole Commission to continue to deprive Wisconsin from my positive contribution and taxes that I can pay into our WI coffers from here on out. Thank you for you and your staff's time and consideration in my letter to you today. Good-Bye for now.

Sincerely,

I have engaged in extensive rehabilitation through the WDOC and on my own for my own personal enrichment, gained insight into my offense, expressed remorse, and made realistic plans for release. Mere recitation of the circumstances of the commitment offense, fails to provide the required "modicum of evidence" of unsuitability for release.

In my opening statement of this letter, I stated that I believe your Parol.! Commission is broken. Now I will elaborate more on the SPECIFICS of \11 --..al I meant by that statement. If you check my A&E files, you will see th the WDOC's original 1982-1983 documents TEM-60, TEM-62, TEM-63, and DOC-2L! indicate3 he WDOC's A&E professional evalmtor's recommendation tha. "participate" in SOT, which is exactly what the WCI's Chief Sex Offender Psychologist, Dr. Gary Ankarlo's 02-07-2003 DOC-1423 Sex Offender Treatment Program Report (that I participated in for 3-4 years) shows thatT successfully did. Therefore I have in fact satisfied my original WDOC A&E SOT programming recommendation to lower my risk for parole. According to my original WDOC A&E treatment recommendation, I should have been paroled in 2003 after I successfully "participated" in SOT at WCI for 3-4 years. However, your broken Parole Commission currently refuses to abide by my original WDOC A&E reconuendation. The Parole Commission and WDOC has belatedly added SOTP as a belated program need before they will seriously consider paroling me, even though SOP was belatedly added to my program needs eight (8) years

after I was convicted in 1982; which means I wasn't able to consider SOTP during the plea bargaining stage of my 1982 trial because SOTP had not been invented by the WDOC yet. See Mickens-Thomas v. Vaughn, 321 F.3d 384, 387, 391-392 (3rd Circuit 2003) to see this very issue addressed and decided in the prisoner's favor by the Court. Furthermore, between the Parole Commission

and the WDOC SOTP, they have been playing Catch-22 games with me, by when the Parole Commission "endorses me" for the illegally belated SOTP, the SOTP refuses to treat me since 2003 through 2011 that I was repeatedly "endorsed" by the Parole Commission to take the illegally belated SOTP; but now at my last Parole Commission Hearing the Parole Commission refused teendorse" me for SOT?, and now SOTP says they can't accept me into SOTP without an "endorsement" by the Parole Commission. So their scam between the Parole Commission and SOTP has wasted my last 11-years in prison with their phony Catch-22 games, when all along I have successfully completed the WDOC's original 1982-1983 A&E recommendation that I "participate" in SOT, which I successfully already did and is verified in my files by Dr. Ankarlo's 02-07-2003 DOC-1423 Sex Offender Treatment Report shows that I already successfully did. Therefore, according to the WDOC's own original A&E documents in my files on me, I could have (should have) been paroled in 2003.

One other SOTP and Parole Commission phony/illegal issue that I want to bring to your attention and BLOW THE WHISTLE ON, Governor Walker, is that SOUP has the pre-conditional requirement for me to "voluntarily" waive my Constitutional and RLUIPA Constitutional Rights before they will allow me into their SOP. They won't put it in writing like I just did, but if you investigate it, this is exactly what they do, ...forcing prisoners to "voluntarily" waive their Constitutional Rights before they will accept a prisoner into the SOTP. From my worldview on the subject of our beloved Constitution, like I explained to you on page-1 of this letter, I volunteered and Honorably served my country from 1966 through 1970, with my fourth and final year in the war zone of Vietnam, and now lam currently a 50% disabled American Veteran, between my service-connected disabled right knee, hard of hearing [from incoming rocket & mortar explosions], and the Vietnam PTSD. I was and am VERY PATRIOTIC and I would serve again if my country needed me. But I will not now be forced to "voluntarily" waive my Constitutional Rights. And that's that.

WI Governor Scott Walker Office of the Governor P.O. Box 786 . Madison, WI 53707-786

Dear Governor Walker:

The purpose of my letter to you is to let you know that I am an Old Law Prisoner in the WDOC, and I believe your Parole Commission is broken. Lave currently served 32 consecutive years in prison for the 1981

rape and murder of Susan Erickson, for which I am so very sorry and ashamed for the pain I caused my victim, her family, my family, the community, and on so many other ripple-effect levels. However, during my incarceration I have changed my value system and life around for the better, and I am ready to rejoin society as a productive tax-paying law abiding citizen. The following circumstances establish my suitability for an immediate safe release from prison. I do not possess a violent crime committed as a juvenile; I have a stable social history and prior tax-paying work record. I owned my own home for 10-years and was sole support for our family of four, when my wife took our children and left me for another man, before I snapped and did the crime that one afternoon. I have shown remorse; I committed the crime as the result of significant stress in my life and • the significant stress had built over a long period of time while unknowingly suffering from the Vietnam PTSD from having served one full year in the war zone of Vietnam. Since my incarceration my Vietnam PTSD has been discovered and diagnosed, and the VA has rated me as a 50% service-connected Disabled American Veteran. I have addressed my PTSD build-up and the act out of my crime through 8 aggregate years of treatment in the WDOC. I lack any significant history of violent crime, this is my only felony and first time in prison. Since I will be turning 66 years old this year, I am now of an age that reduces the probability of recidivism. I have made realistic plans for release, plus I have developed new marketable skills that accommodate my various disabilities and aging, through taking extensive correspondence courses while I've been in prison for the past 32 years. I graduated from one 3-year Bible College, one 4-ypar Bible College, and went on to get a Master's Degree in Religious Studies, a Doctorate in Biblical Studies, and a Ph.D. in the Philosophy of Religion. I am still taking ongoing correspondence courses for my own personal enrichment to advance my further education. I have updated my resume' to reflect my current area of expertise for employment upon release. I have enclosed a copy of my resume' for your perusal, and consideration for eMployment with the State as a rehabilitation success for Wisconsin. I have engaged in institutional activities that • indicate an enhanced ability to function within the law upon release. I score the lowest marks for recidivism on the MN-SOST-R, Static-99, and RRASOR Score Sheets, as well as the Federal Risk Prediction Index (RPI). Here I have shown uncOntradicted evidence of my rehabilitation and there is no

evidence I "currently" posses a danger to society. My current behavior during my many years (over 3-decades) since my offense, and my current mental state, demonstrate that my past offense is no longer a realistic indicator of my "CURRENT" dangerousness.
