I am currently working on my compassionate release paperwork. On July 25, 2023 my only son, Dustin Barnes, was found in a ditch dead on a dirt road a couple miles away from his grandparents house. He turned 31 on June 25, 2023. He was outgoing, beautiful, charming and so much more. I was arrested on June 6 of 2023 and have remained in custody ever since. I have not been able to process the grief of looing him along with not knowing exactly what happened to him. I have requested counseling numerous times since coming to FCI Tallahassee. Most request go unanswered but twice I have been told I am on a waiting list and it goes by my outdate as to when I can receive the classes to deal with trauma. I still have not had anyone to talk to. The Dr. put me on Effexor and then failed to refill my Rx which put me into a withdrawal unlike anything I have ever felt before. I still cannot get back into the doctor to remove me from my obligation to take the medicine prescribed. It has effected my mental health considerably. I have become a closed shell unable to process any emotion. This is not my only reason I am asking for compassionate release but It is the first one I am listing.
