RE: FOIA Request – DEA Registration, Delegation, and Controlled Substance Activity
Facility: Williamson County Jail, 306 W 4th St, Georgetown, TX 78626
To Whom It May Concern:
Pursuant to the Freedom of Information Act (5 U.S.C. § 552), I am requesting copies of all records held by the Drug Enforcement Administration relating to controlled substance registrations, prescribing activity, delegation authority, and any investigative or regulatory action involving the following individuals or entities:
Physicians / Medical Providers
1. Dr. John Mark Janes, MD – Texas License H8939
2. Dr. Henry L. Higgins, MD – Texas License L6232
3. Any additional physicians whose DEA number is registered at, delegated to, or used by Williamson County Jail or its medical contractor(s).
4. Any APRNs, EMTs, or medical staff who were granted authority, explicitly or implicitly, to issue or administer controlled substances within the jail.
Records Requested
For each individual/entity listed, please provide:
1. DEA registration applications (Form-224 and renewals)
2. DEA registration status, restrictions, suspensions, or actions
3. ARCOS reports reflecting controlled substance activity
4. DEA Form-222 or digital controlled substance orders
5. Any suspicious activity reports or compliance flags
6. All DEA investigations, notes, audits, or inquiries involving:
Williamson County Jail
Williamson County Sheriff’s Office
Jail medical staff or contractors
7. All correspondence between DEA and Williamson County personnel
8. Any delegation or supervisory authority filed with DEA regarding mid-level practitioners (APRN, PA)
9. Any records showing controlled substances prescribed, dispensed, administered, or ordered under these DEA numbers at the jail.
Timeframe Requested
January 1, 2023 – Present
Fee Category
I request a fee waiver as this request concerns matters of significant public interest related to medical care in a government-operated detention facility. I am an individual requester and agree to pay up to $25.00 in fees unless otherwise notified.
Please send electronic records to: [email protected]
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
/s/ LeRoy Nellis

Transparency and Public Record Notice
This document is published as part of a FOIA request DEA records archive. It is preserved to ensure transparency, accountability, and continuity of public records related to detention facility medical operations.
For reference:
The current version supersedes all prior versions and reflects the most accurate preserved record available.
Additional documentation, responses, and supporting records will be published as they are received and verified.

Confinement began with immediate exposure to a high-control isolation environment.
Mornings were initiated through loud mechanical slot operation, producing repeated high-impact noise within a confined space.
Food delivery occurred through the same slot mechanism, reinforcing a restricted interaction model.
This structure established a repetitive sensory cycle centered on noise, limited interaction, and controlled access.
For related documentation, see the systemic detention timeline and the live evidentiary record. For standards on confinement conditions, refer to the National Commission on Correctional Health Care and the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Justice Programs.
Solitary Confinement Torture Conditions Chapter — Food And Sanitation
Food distribution was limited in quality and consistency, often consisting of minimal portions and repetitive items.
Sanitation conditions were degraded due to restricted access to cleaning tools and delayed maintenance response.
Observed conditions included:
- Limited nutritional variation in meals
- Accumulation of waste due to clogged plumbing
- Manual waste removal using available materials
- Restricted trash removal processes
These factors created a continuous exposure to unsanitary conditions within the confinement space.
Ventilation And Temperature Manipulation
The cell environment was influenced by dual ventilation systems, including internal HVAC and external airflow sources.
Temperature fluctuations were observed across both extreme heat and cold conditions.
Airflow direction was inconsistent, alternating between intake and output without predictable pattern.
Testing with lightweight materials confirmed active airflow variation rather than passive ventilation.
This resulted in environmental instability affecting comfort and respiratory conditions.
Solitary Confinement Torture Conditions Chapter — Cell Interference
During scheduled out-of-cell periods, unauthorized access to the cell environment was observed.
Documented interference included:
- Introduction of liquid contaminants onto cell surfaces
- Removal or alteration of personal items
- Restriction or confiscation of reading materials
These actions occurred without formal documentation or accountability.
The pattern suggested intentional disruption rather than incidental occurrence.
Psychological Pressure And Verbal Exposure
Audible communication from staff areas introduced repeated verbal content into the confinement environment.
Content included personal commentary, explicit discussion, and statements designed to provoke psychological response.
Extended exposure to this environment contributed to increased stress and sensory overload.
These interactions occurred without direct engagement, reinforcing a one-directional communication model.
Solitary Confinement Torture Conditions Chapter — Media And Temporal Disruption
Media access within the environment was limited and inconsistent.
Observed anomalies included repeated broadcast segments and discrepancies between displayed information and actual time.
Verification through alternative systems confirmed inconsistencies in date and time references.
This created temporal disorientation within the confinement environment.
Environmental Sensory Conditions
Persistent environmental factors included:
- Continuous odor associated with waste and mildew
- Limited cleaning or sanitation intervention
- Confined air circulation with variable quality
These elements combined to create a sustained sensory burden.
Exposure duration amplified both physical discomfort and cognitive stress.
Solitary Confinement Torture Conditions Chapter — Cognitive Effects
Extended confinement produced measurable cognitive responses.
Observed effects included:
- Visual and auditory distortions
- Heightened sensitivity to environmental stimuli
- Altered perception of time and sequence
- Pattern recognition in environmental repetition
These effects are consistent with documented outcomes of prolonged isolation and sensory restriction environments.
Scientific research identifies similar conditions as contributing to hallucination and cognitive disruption.
System Pattern Recognition
Analysis of repeated exposure identified structured environmental patterns:
- Controlled food and sanitation limitations
- Variable temperature and airflow conditions
- Intentional disruption of personal environment
- Psychological pressure through indirect communication
- Temporal disorientation through inconsistent media
These elements indicate an integrated confinement system combining environmental control and behavioral influence.
Record Context
This solitary confinement torture conditions chapter establishes a documented record of environmental conditions, sanitation failures, and cognitive effects within an isolation housing unit.
It supports broader analysis of confinement practices, oversight gaps, and systemic behavioral controls within detention facilities.
Maintaining this record enables structured review, evidentiary preservation, and accountability assessment.
This record remains active and subject to expansion as additional environmental data, medical records, and related documentation are integrated. The current version supersedes all prior versions.
