Precursor to the thingie. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ What did they do to Rick Allen? On April 5, 2023, Richard Allen's defense attorneys filed an emergency motion requesting to modify the safekeeping order that had placed him in Westville. Attached to that filing was an image of Rick in a red Restrictive Housing Unit jumpsuit, disheveled and soiled, about 30lbs thinner than he was 3mos prior. Ever since that day, we have been on IDOC/Westville like a dog on a bone. #FreeRicky #FreeRickAllen #Delphi @corndawgcourt @TrueCrimeAudit

A precursor to the thingie. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ Let’s do a little refresher on the who’s-who-and-what’s-what of Westville Correctional Facility and the 13 months that Richard Allen spent in solitary confinement as a pretrial defendant. Who’s who? #FreeRickAllen #FreeRicky

We're working on a thingie, contd. 🧵🪡🚨🔔‼️ Rick's strongest lever was his wife. Before his arrest, Richard Allen's emotional and psychological stability primarily rested on one person: his wife of over 30 years, Kathy Allen. As his treating psychologist, Wala identified this from the start. In November 2022, she noted that Rick was "extremely selfless when it comes to his wife" and under oath agreed that Rick's "chivalrous attitude had always been there" during his solitary confinement. Over the following months, Wala would trace a man who was falling apart around his wife's absence. In January 2023, Wala documented a "nervous breakdown” and later testified that not getting a letter from his wife “would probably be a big thing." In February 2023, Wala wrote that Rick was "breaking down" on every call with Kathy. In March 2023, Wala recorded Rick's depression and withdrawal in her clinical notes and would later recall - under oath and without prompting - that "it was about wanting his wife to be able to visit". 1/

More of this thingie, contd. 🧵🪡🚨 🔔‼️ Teaching Rick to distrust his own mind. On March 16, 2023, according to her own note, treating psychologist Monica Wala told Rick there were "no records of routine communication between Mr. Allen and his wife." Confused and agitated, Rick insisted he spoke to Kathy once or twice a week. Hours of call recordings and more than 500 pages of call transcripts support his account. Days later, another mental health worker told Rick that “an investigator” had made the same claim: that Rick "hadn't been talking to his wife" so “why would visits matter" to him? For whatever reason, a lead investigator and two mental health professionals told a man already losing his grip on reality that there was no record of his regular contact with his wife. The memory-distrust model warns against this very pattern: the claim came from authority, contradicted Rick’s own experience, and reached him at a moment of extreme emotional intensity. That combination can lead a person to doubt his own memory and instead rely on what he is told (Gudjonsson, Cortex, 2017). Trust in authority can deepen that vulnerability, as the person comes to accept the authority’s version of events over his own (Mogavero, Behavioral Sciences and the Law, 2020). 1/
