Thanks for posting this, again I have to ask how is he being treated cruelly? He is a Defendant is one of the most high profile double child murder case in IN history. He is a huge security risk to himself, the staff and other prisoners. They are trying to keep him alive, believe me, no way do they want something to happen him while in their custody.
- Allen is living in the prison’s A-pod, which is a segregated maximum security unit with additional security within the prison. The unit houses felons who have been convicted of serious crimes such as murder and child molestation.
- The Delphi murders defendant is the only pre-trial (non-convicted) inmate currently housed in the prison’s maximum security unit, and the only pre-trial inmate assigned to the unit during the four years that Galipeau has been warden at the prison.
- Since arriving at the prison last fall, Allen has been living in a 12’ x 8-1/2’ cell that is equipped with a mattress on a secured bed frame, a toilet and a bible.
- Allen’s cell is equipped with a surveillance camera that records his activities 24 hours a day.
- The warden assigned Allen to a segregated (individual) cell because the high-profile nature of Allen’s crime involving children places him at a higher risk of retaliation and violence from other inmates. Galipeau said he would be concerned about Allen's safety if he were to place him in the general population of Westville Correctional Facility.
- Allen is permitted to shower three times per week, and he is allowed one hour of recreation time outside his cell five times per week.
- The defendant is provided three sets of clothing each week. He also has access to the prison commissary and has purchased socks, shoes and shirts, according to the warden.
- Each inmate, including Allen, is provided an electronic tablet that allows him to listen to music, watch movies and make phone calls. Those calls can be accessed and monitored by a prison investigator.
- Unlike other inmates in the maximum security unit, Allen is permitted to have face-to-face visits with his family.
- When Allen is being transported from his cell to other locations within the prison, he is placed in chains/cuffs around his hands, feet and torso, and is sometimes transported with a restraint chain, which his defense team described as a leash similar to those used to walk a dog.
- Allen has been on “suicide watch” since last fall. The warden testified that Allen’s mental health seemed to decline a few months after he arrived when the defendant “received his legal paperwork.”
- Because he is on suicide watch, the Indiana Department of Corrections has stationed a prison officer outside Allen’s cell around the clock. It used to be another inmate who was posted at Allen’s cell door as part of the facility’s “companion program,” but the warden said that changed once Allen’s mental state declined.
- Allen has written the warden five or six letters while in prison. He did not elaborate on the topic of those letters.
- He acknowledged Allen has lost considerable weight since arriving at Westville, but Galipeau said the defendant’s vital signs have remained within a “normal range” and he receives almost daily checkups by the prison’s medical and mental health staff.

The Westville prison warden provided very specific details about the cell where Allen is living and the accommodations he is offered.www.wthr.com

I in no way condone abuse of prisoners period. But after reading this, to me, it seems his living quarters are as good as can be expected considering the situation. This grossly overstated, sensationalized, version of his living conditions by the Defense is backfiring in spectacular fashion.
Fakers gonna fake, fake, fake. RA knows exactly what he is doing.
ALL MOO
