Issues
- The assault by medical staff on Sister Joy although unprovoked.
- The transfer of inmates from Rikers Island the failure to protect Sister from threats and being spit upon by one of those same transferees, the spread of Covid once again sweeping through general population after those transfers were certain precautions did not take place.
- Sister Joy being placed in SHU although she was the intended victim.
- Failure of medical staff to apppropiately provide care for Sister Joy diabetes which as a result is putting her health at risk because of the spikes and drops in her sugar levels because her medications are not being administered in accordance with the standards which were in place when Sister Joy was in general population and lastly Joy has not been allowed to see a doctor to address her concerns about her treatment and health since being placed in the SHU.
