IDOC Roger Walker & Deanne Benos: Request for rational basis on adverse employment action
Update: December 9, 2008
Federal authorities arrested Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich Tuesday on charges that he brazenly conspired to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama to the highest bidder.Blagojevich also was charged with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field, according to a federal criminal complaint. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.
A 76-page FBI affidavit said the 51-year-old Democratic governor was intercepted on court-authorized wiretaps over the last month conspiring to sell or trade the vacant Senate seat for personal benefits for himself and his wife, Patti.
Otherwise, Blagojevich considered appointing himself. The affidavit said that as late as Nov. 3, he told his deputy governor that if "they're not going to offer me anything of value I might as well take it."
I have been writing to Federal and Illinois Government officials in Illinois for the last 2 years about alleged corruption in Governor Blagojevich’s office. I wrote President-elect Obama when he was an Illinois Senator. When I worked at Sheridan Correctional Center as a clinical supervisory counselor I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office and Sheridan Correctional Center when AFSCME Union Local 31 conducted a strike at Sheridan Correctional Center on June 6, 2006. I suggested corruption in the Governor’s office with the contract given to West Care Foundation, Inc. at Sheridan Correctional Center to provide counseling services to the inmates. West Care Foundation, Inc. is based in Las Vegas, Nevada. My employment at Sheridan Correctional Center was terminated on or about May 15, 2008. I was a supervisor. When Warden Michael Rothwell took my security clearance on or about May 15, 2008 he did not give me a reason. I wrote Illinois Department of Corrections’ Director Roger Walker, who has not answered my letter to give me a reason why they took my security clearance. Read my writings regarding the indifferent and disparate treatment, and racism at Sheridan Correctional Center on my blog at http://clickforjusticeandequality.blogspot.com/ and on President-elect Obama’s website. I am posting this comment on my blogs at http://clickforjusticeandequality.wordpress.com/, www.frednance.newsvine.com/ and http://click.townhall.com/, and on President-elect Obama’s website.
Update: October 23, 2008
Illinois Department of Corrections Director Roger E. Walker Jr. and Assistant Director Deanne E. Benos has not responded. In addition, I posted this statement due to the recent Toolkit release.
10/23/2008: New Toolkit on Law Enforcement Role in Prisoner Reentry: Four Agencies Selected as "Learning Sites" with Justice Department Grant Reentry Policy Council
How can reentry work with entities like Illinois' Sheridan Project, which operates out of Illinois' Sheridan Correctional Center? Read my articles on the blatant racism, indifferent treatment and discriminatory practices by Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. WestCare provides the substance abuse counseling services at Sheridan Correctional Center.
On October 23, 2008 I was informed from a reliable source that Melinda Gubbels was the supervisor in Building 23 at Sheridan Correctional Center. Melinda Gubbels, who is a white female, filed false charges with WestCare against Fred Nance Jr. for sexual harassment in November of 2007. WestCare determined the charges by Ms. Gubbels were unfounded. When it was time for Ms. Gubbels to face Mr. Nance with her accusations she called off sick from work. Nevertheless, WestCare "rewards" racism, indifferent treatment, prejudice and discrimination by promoting a person like Ms. Gubbels who WestCare "knows" filed false charges against a fellow employee.
WestCare terminated Nance on or about May 13, 2008 because Warden Michael Rothwell of Sheridan Correctional Center took Nance's security clearance without giving Nance reason for the action. WestCare and Warden Rothwell terminated Nance because he complained about blatant racism, indifferent treatment and discrimination. Nance's informer also told him that Sheridan Corrrectional Center and WestCare have recently put 2 other black females employees of WestCare Foundation Inc. out of Sheridan Correctional Center. One of the females' name is Rose. I will provide additional information on this when I receive it.
Don't be mistaken. Recidivism will continue as long as you have blatant racism, indifferent treatment and discrimination polarizing our society. Sheridan Correctional Center and WestCare Foundation, Inc. are following in the footsteps of President and Vice Presidential candidates McCain and Palin. From the demonstration portrayed on National television by the McCain/Palin Presidential ticket, anyone can see they practice and proclaim separatism and divisiveness of the races. All you have to do is open your eyes. Many in this country are afraid to open their eyes, and this is why racial prejudice, indifferent treatment and discrimination exist.
Update: October 1, 2008
There has not been a response from Illinois Department of Corrections Director Roger E. Walker Jr. and Assistant Director Deanne E. Benos.
Update: September 5, 2008
I have not received any response to the letter below sent to Mr. Roger E. Walker Jr. and Ms. Deanne E. Benos regarding the indifferent treatment and discriminatory practices of Warden Michael Rothwell at Sheridan Correctional Center taking my security clearance and not giving any reasoning behind his actions. In addition to this dilemma, while working at Sheridan Correctional Center my car was a victim of a hit-and-run accident.
I filed all the necessary paperwork with the State of Illinois' Court of Claims, Case #07CC3511. Commissioner David Neal of 116 N. Chicago Street, Suite 602, Joliet Illinois was assigned the case to adjudicate it. On September 5, 2008 I received a call from the Illinois Attorney General Office, specifically, Mr. Robert Sklamberg stated that his client "Sheridan Correctional Center" is denying fault. My car was parked in Sheridan Correctional Center's parking lot when it was hit. I had to pay $567.26 for the damages to my car.
Update: August 21, 2008
We know there is very little integrity and honesty in the office of Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich's office. Therefore, we can assume there will be no integrity and honesty in the Illinois Department of Corrections. I have not received a response from Mr. Roger E. Walker Jr. or Ms. Deanne E. Benos regarding the lockout of Fred Nance Jr. from Sheridan Correctional Center.
Is there any integrity or honesty in the Office of the Illinois Department of Corrections? How can the Sheridan Project at Sheridan Correctional Center promote a reduction in recidivism when this reduction is, in part, an act of integrity and honesty? If there is no integrity and honesty within the ranks of the Illinois Department of Corrections, then reducing recidivism is non-existent.
Therefore, it may be safe to deduce that coupled with Illinois Governor Rod R. Blagojevich's budget cuts of "aftercare" substance abuse programs, recidivism will produce continued job security for the employees of the Illinois Department of Corrections. Governor Blagojevich cut 50% or more from "aftercare" programs in Illinois causing massive layoffs and closing of programs needed to reduce recidivism, which provided the continuity of care needed for substance abuse services to inmates exiting prisons in Illinois.
Governor Blagojevich may have cut services at Sheridan Correctional Center by 10%. Governor Blagojevich's massive budget cuts did not include the Illinois Department of Corrections. Governor Blagojevich's budget cuts did affect the lives of 52 Women and children of Safe Haven's residential program who were put out of their residents and shipped to homeless shelters around the Chicago area.
Haymarket, a leading entity of substance abuse treatment has closed its detox program. Haymarket may have layoffs of 120 staff. These are some examples of how Governor Blagojevich's budget cuts are rippling through human/social services in Illinois and the "aftercare" substance abuse programs, which are a major part of reducing recidivism. There is no integrity and honesty in Illinois Governor Blagojevich's budget cuts and the Illinois Department of Corrections.

Mr. Walker:
The Illinois Department of Corrections has not offered a rational basis for locking out Fred Nance Jr., which was an adverse employment action on or about May 14, 2008. On May 1, 2006 I began working at Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) as a counselor III for Gateway Foundation, Inc. (Gateway) On or about November 1, 2006, Gateway relinquished their counseling contract with the State of Illinois at Sheridan.
On or about November 1, 2006, WestCare Foundation, Inc. (WestCare) began providing counseling services at Sheridan. On Mother’s Day, May 12, 2008, Mr. Stanley Brooks, WestCare Director, called me while I was having dinner with my mother stating Warden Michael Rothwell had locked me out of Sheridan. I asked Mr. Brooks if Warden Rothwell gave a reason for the lockout. Mr. Brooks informed me he was not given a reason for the lockout.
On or about May 15, 2008 I received a letter from WestCare dated May 14, 2008 stating, in part, “…Please let this letter serve as a notification that your employment with WestCare is being terminated, effective May 14, 2008, due to the determination of the Illinois Department of Corrections to issue an Administrative Lockout of your security clearance at Sheridan Correctional Facility. As you are aware, it is a requirement of employment that you maintain an active security clearance to enter the facility….” (WestCare letter attached)
Sir, please provide a basis and cause, along with supporting documentation, for the Administrative Lockout of the security clearance for Fred Nance Jr.
Respectfully submitted,
Fred L Nance Jr.

I want to suggest a conspiracy between Governor Blagojevich, AFSCME Union Local 31 and the Illinois Department of Corrections to force Gateway Foundation, Inc. (Gateway) to give up their contractual agreement to provide counseling services at Sheridan Correctional Center (Sheridan) when they allowed the strike of June 6, 2006 at Sheridan to prevent Gateway employees from crossing the picket lines. This conspiracy may involve Governor Blagojevich, Deanne Buenos, Roger Walker, Michael Rothwell and officials of AFSCME Union Local 31. This conspiracy paved the way for West Care Foundation, Inc., which may be in bed with this conspiracy. Follow the money. West Care Foundation, Inc. may have bought this contractual agreement from Governor Blagojevich and his government officials. This is what I am asking the FBI to investigate.

Joseph & Stephens Associates: Debt collection company refusing to discuss an account and starting litigation
Update: April 21, 2009
The State of Georgia has decided not to prosecute fraud. What type of government is this that allows fraud to be perpetrated? The Government of Georgia has given this company a license to fraud. I received this letter dated February 27, 2009:

Joseph & Stephens Associates:
Please be advised: During the first week of October 2008, Mr. Steve Larrimore called me threatening and intimidating me and my family with litigation regarding this account. Mr. Larrimore informed me he had reason to believe I owed a debt for this account. I informed Mr. Larrimore I did not have nor have I ever had an account with the Bank of America. I asked Mr. Larrimore to give me some details about this debt, and why he believed I owed this debt. Mr. Larrimore refused to elaborate on the account, stating since I did not want to take ownership of the debt he would start litigation against me. I informed Mr. Larrimore since he was not going to discuss this alleged debt with me, that he should call me anymore. Mr. Larrimore informed me I would be receiving litigation paperwork in the mail at the end of October 2008.
On or about October 14, 2008 I received a letter of settlement on this account suggesting I owed a current amount of $4,838.38. The letter states a settlement offer of $3,139.04 with a settlement date of October 24, 2008. On or about October 16, 2008 my daughter received the same letter at her address. I do not live with my daughter. On October 20, 2008 I called and left a message for Mr. Larrimore. Mr. Larrimore returned my call and refused to give me any information on this account, which he is charging me with being delinquent. Mr. Larrimore informed me that since I did not take ownership the litigation proceedings have gone forward against me.
Wherefore the foregoing, if I receive any litigation papers in the mail or by any other means of delivery I will proceed with a counterclaim stating threats, intimidation and defamation of character to start. I will be seeking damages for legal fees, court costs and any and all other remedies the court of jurisdiction deems necessary and appropriate for the willful, nefarious and deliberate acts complained.
