To Whom it May Concern,
In light of the unusual circumstances of our incarceration, we, the undersigned residents of Elmwood State Hospital would like to make a motion to restructure the island as a community, rather than an institution. In as much as is possible, we feel it would be healthier for everyone involved if the diagnosis and treatment of illness and/or injury were left to bona fide medical personnel, and if those of us able to function independently were permitted the freedom to do, rather than having families arbitrarily separated by powers unknown.
