Honorable Edward Rendell,
Russell Shoats (z) is a 61-year-old man who has been in prison for over 33 years. For over ten of those years he has been in solitary confinement." He is held at SCI-Greene, which is over 300 miles away from his family, who are based in Philadelphia. He is a father, grandfather and model prisoner, who has only had one minor rule infraction in over 15 years.
After a prison blood test and two other examinations, it was discovered that he is probably suffering from prostate cancer.
I ask you to use the powers of your office to assure us that Russell Shoats (z) will receive all of the medical care he needs. Further, we ask that you see that he is immediately transferred to one of the states Level Four Maximum Security Prisons; either SCI-Graterford or SCI-Frackville, so that his family doesn't have to travel for twelve hours to visit him.
As governor, you share responsibility with the state's Department of Corrections for providing safety and security for u.s. citizens. Included among these responsibilities are the duties of providing for the health needs of state prisoners and helping them maintain ties with their family members.
We call on you to ensure that these things are carried out.
Thank you for your consideration.
