There are people in need of medical and psychiatric care who are not receiving it. If you're not in isolation like I was, there is a bad bed shortage. Last night my first night out, I was moved into Dave's ward, Dl. I sleep on the bench in the waiting room for there aren't enough beds. "The warden had orders to cut off our hair now rather than wait until next week in the event we got bail and were let out on the street. The orders came from Sheriff Joe Woods personally we learned.

It was further ordered that the defendant notify the United States Marshal, Chicago, Illinois, of hig destinations and each changé thereof when traveling beyond the jurisdiction of his state of reaideénce and not to depart from the Continental United States without permission of the court. . ~16 LUNFIDENNIAL nae PRS ee
