This is the reaction from the Office of the Ombudsman after a letter of complaint was sent to them:
"All offenders have access to the Offender Grievance Process to present written concerns related to their classification, personal property, disciplinary status, or other confinement issues within the agency's control. Records reveal that Offender Wheatfall has addressed each of the issues you mentioned through the grievance process. The Polunsky Unit Mailroom staff are following agency policy in regards to processing incoming and outgoing mail. The Agency cannot vertfy the length of time the letters take to arrive at your destination overseas. In response to the disciplinary concerns, demotions in status, destroyed mattress, and sleeping on the floor. Details of disciplinary cases are considered confidential information and cannot be shared with the public. Offender resolved these issues through the Offender Grievance Process. The denial of Offender Wheatfall's book was also addressed throught the Offender Grievance Process.The book was originally denied due to its content. The Director's Review Committee instructed the Polunsky Unit Mailroom to confiscate the book for being altered. The unit commissary follows a strict schedule to ensure all death row offenders arre given the opportunity to use that privilege if they are eligible. The schedule allows for a spending period every 14 days as required. Offender Wheatfall is receiving the privileges afforded to his custody level."
