The following is a brief description of how I was wrongfully convicted, illegally sentenced, denied medical care, tortured and defamed, as an innocent physically disabled individual in the Cook County Courts, Cook County Jail, and Illinois Department of Corrections. I have informed the FBI, Illinois State Police, and US Attorney and they have done NOTHING! The Illinois officials are doing this in retaliation for my complaints of corruption and my whistle blowing activities.
Illinois is therefore a totalitarian police state, a fact that is covered up by the U. S. government. There is no justice. Anyone who attempts to fight corruption in Illinois is defamed, attacked, marginalized. The officials get rid of female witnesses by accusing them of being a nut, a slut, or a criminal. Then the woman is not taken seriously. American Justice is a myth. Please help bring this to the light of day and to the press. Please COMPLAIN vigorously.

I was not raped, but I as a physically disabled woman in a wheelchair, was viciously attacked by Sgt. Anthony Salemi at the Cook County Jail when wrongfully incarcerated for exercising my civil rights. Sgt. Salemi falsified his records and said I rammed him with my wheelchair causing an abrasion and kicked him in the chest causing soreness. I was tried by a corrupt judge Joseph Kazmierski and with extreme Nifong-like prosecution by Asst. State’s Attorney Andrew Dalkin and John Maher, which totally biased the jury and prevented me from presenting evidence that totally impeached the state’s witnesses, wrongfully found guilty. In violation of law that required probation, I was sentenced to 2 yrs in the IDOC.

In the Cook County Jail (Sheriff Thomas Dart) and Illinois Department of Corrections’ Dwight Correctional Center (Warden Mary Sigler), I was medically neglected and tortured – punished for “refusing to walk” in solitary for months with the light on 24 hrs a day. I was denied any phone calls to anyone including my attorney and dwindling elderly father in violation of law. I was put on suicide watch in a bare cell with a thin mattress on the floor and no clothes except a suicide smock. I was denied toilet paper, toothpast, toothbrush, everything. I went on a hunger strike in protest. They punished me more for refusing to stand up and walk to the door to be cuffed. I was so dehydrated I could not get to the sink for days. They didn’t even bring me water so I stopped drinking. I suffered from diarrhea for five days and was unable to get up to the toilet so went over myself. I was refused any towel or washcloth or bin of water to clean up and found it very difficult to get to the sink. I lost a lot of weight from 175 lb to 120 lb in six months. I was denied appropriate medical care. When I had a life-threatening asthma reaction to the food and asked for the ingredients and a special diet they refused. So I refused to eat. The Director of the Medical Division at Dwight Correctional Center told me she solved my problem, that they would give me pureed food. That is like giving peanut butter to a person allergic to peanuts!
I was taken straight to an ER when released and was fluid resuscitated and given electrolyes as they were out of wack due to severe dehydration and starvation. Yet the jail doctor from Wexford Medical group (a scumbag contract group that provides medical care to prisons around the country) wrote I was well. There is more, but I am shaking with bad memories and can’t write. This has to stop. I want to testify in Congress.

Please write to the FBI and demand they prosecute these people for felony violation of civil rights:
Write the White House and tell President Obama you are appalled at the torture IN THE US and the fact that the US Government is condoning, as well as therefore aiding and abetting retaliation against whistle blowers, government corruption, and torture.

Write your Congressmen. Write the press. Do whatever you can to expose this corruption.
If you have a similar story about the FBI or US Attorney ignoring evidence of felony violation of civil rights or corruption, please e-mail me at picepil@aol.com.
