Wood & Nathanson is extremely concerned about reports that Massachusetts Department of Correction employees have engaged in retaliation against and collective punishment of men imprisoned at SBCC, particularly those who had no role in a recent assault on prison guards. We are helping to fight back. Disturbing reports, including from one of our own clients, describe a terrifying situation in which guards are assaulting people and threatening them. Making the situation worse, DOC excluded attorneys for more than two weeks and continues to limit attorney access. We are extremely grateful for the work of MACDL president Victoria Kelliher, CPCS Attorney Rebecca Jacobstein and others in filing a lawsuit against the DOC challenging their actions, including actions against Attorney Wood’s client and limitations on Attorney Wood’s access to him.
