UPDATE June 26, 2014: Diana Sprouse sent me a message: "He slit his throat!" Her son, Mark Bowles, is on his way now to the hospital. He was convicted by a jury yesterday that was denied hearing any defense Mark could have given for allegedly assaulting a nurse in his hospital room. Actually, he frightened the nurse who fell and bumped her own head. Mark did not touch her. The veteran had an epileptic crisis after coming out of a coma caused by a traumatic brain injury he suffered while fighting off a jail inmate who wanted to rape him. The jury was allowed to know none of this. All defenses related to Mark's diminished capacity were reportedly squashed by Judge Frank Kundrat. The jury reportedly sent questions to the court, including: 1) Was Mark Bowles mentally ill? 2) Was Mark Bowles on medication that may have contributed to his offenses? The judge refused answers to the jury questions.
America presently has more than 1.25 million mentally ill inmates. The wrongful conviction of Mark Bowles, a U.S. veteran and epileptic patient, helps explain how it happened.
APPARENTLY, AMERICAN MEN HAVE NO PROTECTED RIGHT TO REFUSE GAY SEX.
Nazi Germany isolated and exterminated over 300,000 people, including children, labeled with mental illness before beginning its genocide of Jews, Africans, and dissidents. America has 1.25 million prisoners labeled as being mentally challenged. Minnesota resident Mark Bowles, 32, has been designated to join them.
Did you EVER hear of a person facing trial for frightening a nurse while hospitalized for a traumatic brain injury and having epileptic seizures? We spoke with Diana, the mother of such a defendant, this week. Mark's trial date is scheduled for June 24. Please give your opinion on this atrocity in the comments field below. Should taxpayers' money be used to PUNISH people with brain disorders who have seizures?

Hospital patients should not be arrested for having an epileptic crisis that frightens their nurses. Jail inmates should not be accosted and given a traumatic brain injury by other inmates who plan to rape them even after the threatened inmates report that threat to guards and request help. Every Saturday, call in to speak with the host at (347) 857-3293.
Finally one day, Darcy, who is a large man, tried to pull Mark into a shower, and Mark resisted. A fight ensued during which Darcy continually pounded Mark's head with his heavy fists. Darcy also shoved Mark against a staircase, which was traumatized Mark's already injured spine. Corrections sprayed the inmates with mace and Tasered them. Although the confrontation was videotaped, Darcy was not prosecuted. Mark was left comatose. Nobody in Mark's condition should have been released from a hospital, much less arrested. Mark is pictured in a coma in the photo below (click on photos to enlarge them).
Mark also suffers from PTSD, a personality disorder, and epilepsy, diagnosed when he was a child. Mark's mother begged St. Cloud Hospital staff to allow her to stay with her son in his hospital room because Mark needed his mother to keep him calm and redirect him, but the hospital refused. The next morning, St. Cloud Hospital called and instructed Diane to rush back to the hospital. Upon arriving, Diane was informed that Mark would be arrested for attempting to assault medical personnel during a crisis and that police were on the way. She was commanded to help Mark get dressed for jail. The very sick young man was secured in a wheel chair and transported.

Radio Interview
Mark Bowles' mother, Diana Sprouse, was our guest on "Human Rights Demand" at 3pm EDT Saturday, June 14. Listen to live and taped broadcast "Release the Innocent" on Blogtalkradio athttp://hosts.blogtalkradio.com/humanrightsdemand/2014/06/14/release-the-innocent
Hospital patients should not be arrested for having an epileptic crisis that frightens their nurses. Jail inmates should not be accosted and given a traumatic brain injury by other inmates who plan to rape them even after the threatened inmates report that threat to guards and request help. Every Saturday, call in to speak with the host at (347) 857-3293.
Background
Mark was admitted to St. Cloud Hospital following a brain injury resulting from brutality during an attempted rape by an inmate in Anoka County Jail. Mark was arrested there on a warrant for punching a hole in a wall at Anoka State Hospital and other misdemeanor offenses arising out of his mental illness. A large prisoner named Darcy T. Lewis allegedly tried to rape Mark and became enraged when he was rejected. Mark had previously reported to jail officials that Darcy made sexual threats to him, but the jail did nothing even though Darcy had allegedly stuck his hand between Mark's buttocks and announced plans to rape him. Mark avoided Darcy, who enjoyed taunting Mark.Finally one day, Darcy, who is a large man, tried to pull Mark into a shower, and Mark resisted. A fight ensued during which Darcy continually pounded Mark's head with his heavy fists. Darcy also shoved Mark against a staircase, which was traumatized Mark's already injured spine. Corrections sprayed the inmates with mace and Tasered them. Although the confrontation was videotaped, Darcy was not prosecuted. Mark was left comatose. Nobody in Mark's condition should have been released from a hospital, much less arrested. Mark is pictured in a coma in the photo below (click on photos to enlarge them).

Mark's mother begged St. Cloud Hospital staff to allow her to stay with her son in his hospital room because Mark needed his mother to keep him calm and redirect him, but the hospital refused.

BEFORE Mark's incarceration and traumatic brain injury, he was a college student who enjoyed nature.
Although Mark uses a wheel chair now, he has started recovery. He had to relearn reading and writing, feeding himself, and dressing. Sometimes he is absolutely silent for days, and other days he is able to speak. Please do not allow prison investors to victimize him again for having a brain disorder that caused his health crisis. Mark wears shades inside because his eyes are very sensitive to light. He still has brain damage. In fact, Mark's entire brain is shrinking now (generalized brain atrophy).
In addition to having a brain injury, mental illness and epilepsy, Mark is unable to walk distances now because of a severe back injury that was aggravated during his assault in Anoka County Jail. At times he cannot stand. How do you think Mark would fare in prison among hardened criminals and unsympathetic corrections officers? See an X-ray of Mark's back:
See another photograph of Mark in happier days. Mark poses in a photo taken before his brain injury. Treatment and his mother's loving care are what Mark needs. He has already come a long way.
Mentally ill people are often brutalized and murdered behind bars, where it is substantially easier to hide abuses of power. Occasionally, news about extreme brutality of mentally ill inmates manages to reach the public despite cover-ups: Jerome Murdough was baked to death in Riker's Island Jail; Darrin Rainey was scalded to death in a Dade Correctional Facility's shower; Larry Neal was murdered after 18 days of secret arrest in Memphis; James Embry was starved to death in a Kentucky prison; Carlos Umana starved to death in a Utah jail; and Kathia Casseus, 16, a retarded child, was put on birth control, presumably to prevent pregnancy from rapes by male guards and prison administrators. She died from side effects caused by her Ortho patch alone in solitary where she was tossed for complaining of pain and breathing problems. These are only a few examples of inmate murders that happen continuously to the mentally ill behind bars.
Sometimes, guards and other inmates rape and beat mentally ill prisoners. People with serious mental illness are often warehoused in torturous solitary confinement for their own protection. Is this what you want for Mark? Below is a photo of Darcy T. Lewis, the man who allegedly caused Mark's traumatic head injury.
The United States Department of Justice (USDOJ) is responsible for protecting institutionalized persons like Mark was when he was brutalized in a Minnesota jail. The USDOJ is also charged with protecting the rights of Americans with disabilities. Should this government continue to allow brain damaged and mentally challenged people to be victimized for the sake of corporate prison profits? Please call the USDOJ like I will at (202) 514.2000 and insist that Mark Bowles, a disabled American, be protected from prison heartless investors.

Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Please advocate for Congress to pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. Try to elect people who support human rights and justice for all, not prison profits by criminalizing brain disorders. Note how representatives support this bill, and ask candidates whether they support it.

Follow our "Dog Justice for Mentally Ill" blog
It would be illegal to keep a dog in a tight space 23 hours a day and gas or Taser him for barking. It would be illegal to put a dog in deadly restraint for control. This happens to mentally ill Americans routinely in the nation's jails and prisons. What happened to Larry Neal?
Mentally Ill Americans Need Dog Justice. Treat mental illness medically, not legally. Please advocate for Congress to pass H.R.3717 - Helping Families in Mental Health Crisis Act. Try to elect people who support human rights and justice for all, not prison profits by criminalizing brain disorders.
