MAD DOG a.k.a. Punyamurtula Kishore MD, Criminal,Terrorist ,Third World Assassin and Public Enemy
I was in a AA meeting once and the speaker mentioned Dr Kishore, and the entire room erupted into laughter. I saw him back in the late 90s and he was a quack then. He was FAR from free. He had been fined years ago because when you sat in his waiting room (an hour was considered quick) he'd bill the insurance co's for that time. Then once you saw him he'd tell you what a great guy he was for working with addicts. Ive been clean for over 10 years now and those professionals who really helped me were ones that didnt need to continiously pat themselves on the back. Addicts are a nightmare to work with, and I commend all those that put up with it all to help those in need. But theres no way you're ever going to convince me Kishore was one of those people.

Alleged Fraud At Drug Treatment Clinics May Harm patients

Alleged Fraud At Drug Treatment Clinics May Harm patients
BOSTON — The criminal investigation of insurance fraud by a Brookline doctor has caused the collapse of his statewide chain of drug treatment clinics.
Many of those patients were dependent on a newly approved, anti-addiction drug called Vivitrol. Since the clinics were the prime supplier of the drug, professionals are warning of a potential spike in overdoses and relapses.
‘A Big Mistake’
Maybe this was “just a big mistake,” as the defense attorney for Dr. Punyamurtula Kishore plead before the court last week. His client was charged with Medicaid fraud.
“Big” is certainly the right adjective for Kishore’s story.
“It’s just mind-blowing,” said Joe Desroches, who worked in Kishore’s Weymouth clinic. “This is why I don’t understand why he had to double-dip and kickback and all that stuff: We were making him enough money. Just between us and Woburn alone, he was making a million and a half a year, legally — legal money, a million and a half a year — just between our two offices. Never mind the other 25 that he had.”

Starved of state reimbursements, Kishore started closing clinics without notice over the summer.
Joanne Carviello, a technician at Kishore’s Woburn clinic until it was shuttered, said the clinic was often busy.
“You know it’s a huge company, we’ve got tons of patients, it’s a big place, it’s a lot of offices,” Carviello said.
Carviello should have been talking in the past tense, as Kishore’s climb skyward had hit a snag. It was a big ladder, with lots of entities and associations he had formed along the way.
It turns out Kishore is also the president and founder of the American College of Addiction Medicine, in Brookline, and he founded the National Library of Addictions in Brookline Village.
But the attorney general says that library was used to pay kickbacks to the director of a sober house in return for sending urine samples for screening.
“That was the majority of our work,” Carviello said.
Sixty percent of the income to Kishore’s chain of clinics came from drug testing, she said. And most of that came from “all the urine [samples] that we did for all of the sober houses,” Carviello said.
The “sober houses,” otherwise known as halfway houses, were testing residents to make sure they were clean of drugs.
A Fraud Investigation
According to the attorney general, Dr. Kishore paid $2,500 a month to the president of the Fresh Start Recovery Coalition, a Malden company that ran “sober houses” across the state. In return, the company’s president, Damion Smith, allegedly sent residents to Kishore for drug testing. The purported scheme involved $597,000 in claims billed to MassHealth, the state’s Medicaid program. The attorney general calls it fraud.
Each drug screen cost $100 to 200. Carviello, who did the testing for Kishore, says the president of those halfway houses was “testing crazy — five or six times a week.”
That was crazy, Carviello and her co-workers thought, because opiates remain in the body for three to four days. Even ordering three tests a week should have been too much.

Kishore never received a state license from the Department of Public Health to run addiction treatment programs.
“You’re not going to learn anything new on Tuesday that you didn’t know on Monday,” Carviello said, “unless they used that very night before. And if they did, there’s no sense testing on Wednesday because it’s still in your system.”
Others, too, question the need for so many tests. Joanne Peterson runs Learn To Cope, a support group for families of drug addicts on the South Shore. She says she became suspicious the first time she heard Dr. Kishore pitching his treatment plans to parents.
“People would say … ‘What do we do? How do we afford it?’ ” Peterson said. “He was like, ‘Have them come see me, I can get anyone on MassHealth — anyone. Don’t worry about it.’ And I was like ‘Oh my God. Red flag.’ ”
That was 2004.
By June of this year, MassHealth began withholding reimbursements for Kishore’s chain of clinics — a criminal investigation had begun. At the Woburn office, supervisors told the staffers it was merely an audit when they asked for 500 charts and lab work. But when she got the list of the names her supervisors needed to provide the state, Carviello saw the light.
“The top of the paper said ‘Subpoena,’ so, that wasn’t very bright,” Carviello said, laughing.
The joke turned out to be on both the employees and the patients.
Patients Without Clinics
Starved of the state reimbursements, Kishore started closing clinics without notice over the summer. At those that remained open, he stopped paying his employees. When he was arrested last week, the last of his clinics shut down, as did the supply of the anti-addiction drug Vivitrol.
So why, with a potential crisis on its hands and knowing Kishore’s clinics were collapsing, didn’t the state step in sooner to avert the coming crisis for addicts who were about to be cut off from treatment?
That was the question posed Monday to the state secretary of Health and Human Services, Dr. JudyAnn Bigby.
“I can’t comment because of the investigation of a fraud that’s going on and the other agencies that are involved in the investigation,” Bigby said.
If Bigby was suggesting the attorney general’s office was tying her hands, a spokesman for the attorney general had another position.
“We worked cooperatively with MassHealth,” the spokesman said, “to ensure they were aware of our investigation well in advance of last week’s legal action.”
The state says it’s trying to find and coordinate alternative treatment for Kishore’s patients. And, WBUR has learned that Dr. Kishore never got a state license from the state Department of Public Health to run addiction treatment programs.
Meanwhile, at Kishore’s businesses in Brookline Tuesday, eviction notices were posted on closed doors.
His lawyer didn’t return phone calls requesting comment and at his home, no one answered. The dry cleaning sat out front in stenciled packaging that read “We love our customers.”
Part One:
◾Drug Counselors Warn Of Statewide Crisis Threatening Addicts
Alkermes maintains a database of treatment centers and physicians who have registered as providers who are willing to give treatment with Vivitrol. Individuals who need assistance in locating a health care provider who offers Vivitrol therapy can call 1-800-VIVITROL (1-800-848-4876).
According to the Massachusetts Executive Office of Health and Human Services, PMA patients enrolled in MassHealth should contact MassHealth Customer Service at 1-800-841-2900 to locate a physician who participates in the MassHealth Primary Care Clinician Plan or one of its managed care organizations.

Indian Doctor Steals $9 Million from U.S. Taxpayers: Gets 1 Year in Jail
Dr Punyamurtula Kishore - in healthcare, the criminals hide in plain sight

“This case exhibited blatant theft of state funds that were supposed to go toward care for some of our most vulnerable residents. This is fraud that undermines the integrity of our health care system.”
(State Attorney General Maura Healey)

In the town of Brookline Massachusetts yet another Indian physician has been found guilty of defrauding Medicaid of millions of taxpayer funds, according to State Attorney General Maura Healey this morning.

How well do you know YOUR doctor?

Doctor Punyamurtula Kishore, age 64, whose ongoing scam business Preventive Medicine Associates provided an excellent cover for a monstrous kickback scheme, changed his “not guilty” plea to “guilty” yesterday in Suffolk Superior Court. He admitted to 19 counts of false Medicaid Claims; 8 counts of Medicaid Kickbacks and 11 other counts of grand theft.
Attorney General Healey said, “this doctor orchestrated a complex kickback scheme to funnel a lucrative drug screening business to his laboratories and then billed taxpayers millions of dollars for those services.”
As a result, Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced Kishore to 360 days in the jail and a 10-year suspended sentence. Kishore, age 63, was ordered to surrender his medical license and repay $9,300,000 in restitution.
Lab coat lunatic Kishore had owned and operated Preventive Medicine Associates, which managed about 30 laboratories in Massachusetts, including physician office labs. The prosecution was able to prove that Kishore used bribery to induce operators of alcohol and drug housing to refer their residents’ urine screening business to his laboratories for testing. Residents were typically screened three times per week.
By law, $100-$200 urine drug tests may legally be billed to MassHealth by a doctor if they are medically necessary. Kishore illegally obtained tens of thousands of drug screens paid for by MassHealth residents who were never qualified patients.
State regulations require that the services must be medically necessary and the provider must be physically present and actively involved in the treatment.
Here’s another look:

Our Observations:
This particular Third World Assassin graduated from Andhra Medical College in India in 1974. He immigrated to the U.S. and learned from his colleagues that the American medical system is rife with opportunities for massive theft. Had he been even slightly less greedy, it is likely he never would have been caught.

After his time in jail, do you wonder if this brazen public enemy will be deported?

Absolutely not. the United States does not deport foreign-born criminal doctors. We reward them.

30 years of CORRUPTION , LIES, CHEATING AND STEALING

30 years of CORRUPTION , LIES, CHEATING AND STEALING is Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka Mad Dog Millionaire’s legacy.HIS HOME DETOX PROTOCOL HAS CAUSED A LOT OF PEOPLE TO RELAPSE AND DIE. HE IS A QUACK IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD. HE WAS NOT LICENSED TO PRACTICE ADDICTION MEDICINE BY THE MASSACHUSETTS DEPT. OF PUBLIC HEALTH.

A quack is someone who falsely claims medical knowledge and/or uses unproven and unscientific remedies. It is derived from the Dutch “quacksalver” meaning a person who cures with home remedies

Unproven, usually ineffective, and sometimes dangerous medicines and treatments have been peddled throughout human history. Theatrical performances were sometimes given to enhance the credibility of purported medicines. Grandiose claims were made for what could be humble materials indeed: for example, in the mid-19th century Revalenta Arabica was advertised as having extraordinary restorative virtues as an empirical diet for invalids; despite its impressive name and many glowing testimonials it was in truth only ordinary lentil flour, sold to the gullible at many times the true cost.

Is there a American College of Addiction Medicine and a National Library of Addictions.

CORRUPTION , LYING , CHEATING , and STEALING from Mass Health , Medicare , Medicaid and private insurance companies . Exploiting his emoloyees and patients.

MAD DOG a.k.a Punymurtula Kishore MD and Lil Dog a.k.a. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. New Horizon House, are responsible for the death of Eleanor Clark of Weston , Massachusetts.
Just look at what happen to James Clark .
James Clark was a client at the same address where the Director/Manager Carl Smith resided at ,New Horizon House , 50 Draper Street in Dorchester MA. Carl Smith is suppose to be a state licensed Mental Health Clinician , If so , than why did he discharge James Clark ? James clark never tested postive for a toxicology screen for illegal or prescription drugs, than why was he discharged ?
He was discharged for behavioral and attitude problems that were related to his psychiatric and substance abuse diagnosis. Carl Smith L.M.H.C. should have been able to detect that this man had psychological problems and referred him for treatment to MAD DOG aka Punyamurtula Kishore s Neurological Clinic for treatment and to help James Clark get back on his psychiatric medication. Instead , Carl Smith discharged him and the same day , James Clark murdered his 81 year old grandmother Eleanor Clark in Weston Massachusetts .
Punyamurtula Kishore MD aka MAD DOG Millionaire referred James Clark to Carl Smith s Program New Horizon House after James Clark was Discharged from St. Elizabeths Hospital s S.E.C.A.P. s Detoxification unit. Punyamurtula Kishore aka MAD DOG had a Contract with Carl Smith to provide New Horizon clients with Medical and Mental health Treatment. No treatment was provided except for toxicology screens .
  Carl Smith collected his program fee and MAD DOG billed his insurance company. What a shame !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dr. MAD DOG Kishore to Surrender Medical License, Sentenced to House of Correction

MAD DOG pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail, and has been ordered to pay $9.3 million in restitution for running an intricate Medicaid fraud scheme involving millions of dollars in taxpayer funds,
Dr. MAD DOG Kishore to Surrender Medical License, Sentenced to House of Correction
BOSTON – MAD DOG pleaded guilty and was sentenced to jail, and has been ordered to pay $9.3 million in restitution for running an intricate Medicaid fraud scheme involving millions of dollars in taxpayer funds, Attorney General Maura Healey announced today.
MAD DOG, 64, along with his company Preventive Medicine Associates, Inc. (PMA), pleaded guilty on Monday in Suffolk Superior Court. MAD DOG and PMA pleaded guilty to charges of Medicaid Kickbacks (8 counts), Medicaid False Claims (19 counts) and Larceny over $250 (11 counts). MAD DOG pleaded guilty to one count of Larceny over $250.
MAD DOG orchestrated a complex kickback scheme to funnel a lucrative drug screening business to his laboratories and then billed taxpayers millions of dollars for those services,” AG Healey said. “This case exhibited blatant theft of state funds that were supposed to go toward care for some of our most vulnerable residents. This is fraud that undermines the integrity of our health care system.”
Today, Superior Court Judge Janet Sanders sentenced MAD DOG  to 360 days in the House of Correction, with 11 months to serve and the balance suspended for 10 years. As a condition to his sentence, MAD DOG has also agreed to surrender his medical license. Judge Sanders also ordered Kishore and PMA to pay, jointly and severally, a total of $9.3 million in restitution.
Dr. MAD DOG previously owned and managed PMA, a network of 29 medical branches throughout Massachusetts, including physician office laboratories and one independent clinical laboratory. Based on the AG’s investigation,
MAD DOG used bribes, or kickbacks, to induce sober house owners to send their residents’ urine drug screening business to his laboratories for testing. Residents were typically screened three times per week.
A urine drug screen may be billed to MassHealth by a physician if the screen is medically necessary. Drug screens generally are billed to the MassHealth program for approximately $100 to $200.  manipulated his business relationships with sober house owners to illegally obtain tens of thousands of drug screens paid for by MassHealth for sober house residents who were never treated by PMA providers.
In September 2011, Dr. MAD DOG and PMA were indicted, and individually charged with Medicaid Kickbacks (8 counts), and Medicaid False Claims (8 counts). In November 2013, MAD DOG and PMA were indicted on additional charges of Medicaid False Claims (11 counts) and Larceny over $250 (11 counts) for billing MassHealth for millions of dollars in drug screens using the names of PMA physicians and nurse practitioners who were not actually treating the patients or determining the drug screens to be medically necessary. State regulations require that the services must be medically necessary and the provider must be physically present and actively involved in the treatment of the member.
Two other individuals previously pleaded guilty to one count of Medicaid Kickbacks in connection with their involvement in MAD DOG’s scheme to defraud MassHealth. In June 2012, Damion Smith, 42, of New Jersey, president of Fresh Start Recovery Coalition, was sentenced to two years in the House of Correction suspended for two years with probation. Carl Smith, 69, of Dorchester, manager of New Horizon House, pleaded guilty in January 2015 and was sentenced to two years in the House of Correction suspended for two years with probation.
The case against Thomas Leonard of Malden, the part owner and manager of the Marshall House, a sober house located in Malden, is ongoing. John Coughlin of Carver, president of Gianna’s House Inc., which operates several sober houses located in Wareham, New Bedford, and Sandwich, began his trial today in Suffolk Superior Court.
This case, first referred to the AG's Office by MassHealth, was prosecuted by Assistant Attorneys General Angela Neal, David Scheffler, and Lee Hettinger of AG Healey’s Medicaid Fraud Division with the assistance of victim witness advocates John Malone and Amber Anderson.  The case was investigated by Erica Schlain and Denise Long of the Attorney General’s Office, Massachusetts State Police assigned to the Attorney General’s Office, Examiners from AG Healey’s Computer Forensics Lab, Special Agents from the Boston Office of the United States Department of Health and Human Services Office of the Inspector General, and investigators from the Massachusetts Insurance Fraud Bureau also assisted in this case

Dr. Kishore Encounters the Dedication of the State

Dr. Kishore Encounters the Dedication of the State
Dr. Kishore Encounters the Dedication of the State , http://chalcedon.edu/research/articles/dr-kishore-encounters-the-dedication-of-the-state/

This is the tenth in a series of articles about addiction pioneer Dr. Punyamurtula S. Kishore and his battles with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The state has shown itself to be dedicated to the destruction of his clinically proven treatment regimen, which is vastly superior to so-called orthodox “addiction medicine.” We shall see how the grinding power of the state’s machinery has sought to not only exterminate Dr. Kishore’s fifty-two clinics and to cast his patients back on inferior (and statistically death-increasing) treatments, but to insure his clinics never come back to life to threaten Big Pharma. Even the possible existence of an article reporting on these facts cuts across the grain of a system that, as has been documented, is intent on burying an actual solution to the drug crisis while pretending otherwise.
Again, space forbids repeating the story developed in the first nine articles in this series, and the reader new to this story is urged to catch up to this point in the narrative before reading this. Once you grasp this physician’s achievement with the quarter-million patients who have passed through his clinics (achieving success rates 7.5 to 30 times better than the existing treatment programs, based on hard testing data), you will better understand the enormity of the situation Massachusetts has inflicted on Dr. Kishore and its own people.
Articles eight and nine detailed the coerced plea-bargain and incarceration of Dr. Kishore that began in early April, 2015. After multiple unconscionable delays, the doctor was remanded to a halfway house in August, 2015. I was finally able to piece together a composite picture of this sordid process from various sources. This is a story you were not meant to read, which was not supposed to see the light of day. Dr. Kishore will get to speak in his own voice throughout, as this permits the light to shine more brightly out of the surrounding darkness.

The Halfway House

We’ll elaborate on what steps were taken to delay Dr. Kishore’s arrival at the halfway house below. But it is important to set the scene for our discussion as vividly as words will allow.
This halfway house has six floors and is controlled by only two people, both civilians. There are drug dealers among the thirty-eight residents. The system’s deficiencies invite exploitation by the residents, many of whom have come to accept a revolving-door existence (moving in and out of such facilities) as a way of life. This situation lets a dealer sock away enough micro-capital to reignite a booming drug business upon release. He may only earn three dollars a day at Suffolk County, but with free rent and free food, that grows to $1,500 after sixteen months. This is invested to purchase heroin at $200/kilo (“key”), which nets the dealer up to $10,000 after being cut and sold. Capitalism has found its dark, opportunistic counterpart here.
Dr. Kishore pointed out,
In many ways this place is a house of potential booby traps awaiting an innocent footstep to fall in the wrong place at the wrong time. The steps required to maintain your virtue against the rise of false charges defy description.
Indeed, the room next door to where we’re conversing is lined, floor-to-ceiling, with urinalysis cups, while the breathalyzer was kept at the front desk. The trappings of control are here (I was not allowed to bring a computer or cell phone or camera into the building), but the reality seems to oppose the appearances. The breathalyzer is supposed to be calibrated daily—but it’s not clear what protocols are being observed for it. Even if it is properly calibrated, it lacks the usual recording medium for storing results. The government requires that these halfway houses (sober houses) be inspected by an accrediting agency every three years, but this house’s certificate lapsed in 2013 with no new certificate on display. The outlook is grim.
In the meantime, drug dealing is being visibly conducted in the open just outside the building. This is an institution built on irony. Not surprisingly, many residents have no intention of stopping: this is just a temporary drop-off place, a mere glitch in a dealer’s fixed trajectory that the state cannot alter but feels itself obligated to whitewash at all costs. Not only is the resident population transient, there is continual flux amongst the employees. The day I met Dr. Kishore happened to be the last day for his caseworker. The only parts of this system that are stable are its bad parts.
How did Dr. Kishore end up at this halfway house? What did it take for him to make this “partial step back into freedom” out of the Suffolk County facility to this facility?

The Evolution of a Toxic Culture

Those who observed Dr. Kishore’s course through the trials of incarceration from the inside told him that “he was the only person who exited the system the same way he entered it,” namely, without any deterioration in moral character. An eight-fold regimen1 that he rigorously followed kept him on the straight and narrow path through this false purgatory. The mission became moral and spiritual survival. As he pointed out,
Prison2 should be a monastic place, a place for self-reflection. But everywhere in prison there’s laughter. Unhealthy laughter.3
In contrast to the pastoral input Dr. Kishore received on the matter of “love of family,” the “prevailing mindset here is that a woman is just a sex object.” The residents share girlfriends, and as the women become pregnant, says Dr. Kishore, “fatherless children are overflowing the universe.” The favorite television program among residents was Who’s Your Daddy?, the runner-up being The Real. This last program was of keen interest to residents, as Dr. Kishore explains:
This program focuses on feminine psychology—women talking about themselves in an open way. This provides a window into a woman’s mind. The ticket for exploiting women essentially writes itself.
The favorite news program here in prison? Fox News, because it is all crime-based:
Crime, crime, crime. The residents use what they learn from Fox to adjust their modus operandi. Sensational crimes boost viewership. Nasty equals good ratings. The chase for higher ratings ends in the sewer.
Pursuing constructive kinds of work allowed Dr. Kishore to contribute to the community without adding to its toxicity. He also catalogued the entire library of 250 books, doing so on his own volition. His experience in founding the National Library of Addictions (see Article 3 in this series) thus came into play.

Avoiding Preprogrammed Missteps While Incarcerated

Navigating incarceration means avoiding temptations offered by the authorities that look like good deals at first glance, but are not. This process began the very first day in jail, when Dr. Kishore was offered protective custody. He provides compelling reasons for refusing each “sponge soaked with gall” (Matt. 27:34) that the jailers put to his lips:
I declined protective custody because it denotes that you’re fearful and cowardly, and that creates a host of new problems, starting with the fact that you’ll be in protective custody forever. You’re shut off from the mainstream of life and don’t know what’s going on “out in the world.”
According to Dr. Kishore, such invitations like the offer of protective custody are all traps. They are designed to route you into various byways, backwaters, and blind alleys. You can’t network when in protective custody, and therefore you can’t learn about the institution you’re in from others who’ve already learned it.4
My second day in Suffolk, I was offered to visit the infirmary, to be classified as mentally ill, depressed, or suicidal—and I declined. Had I gone to the infirmary, the resulting label would stick with me for the rest of my life. They’d issue a press release saying Kishore Was Admitted to Infirmary as Suicidal, which inflames the presumption of guilt. I had to navigate a very narrow path here.
He thus ended up in the general population at Suffolk County House of Corrections. And he observed the system from the inside.
As a medical director5 I had a sense of how bad the system is, but not how bad it really was. I gained firsthand awareness of its pathologies.
Navigating the first two traps (protective custody and the infirmary), other tactics were deployed to keep Dr. Kishore in Suffolk as long as possible. Failure to obey provides a pretext to block transfer to the halfway house. No matter how arbitrary the command being issued by a staff member may be, it must be followed to avoid being charged with “disobeying an order.”
They told me to clean the staff bathrooms. I did it as often as asked. If I didn’t, disobedience is an offense. I didn’t collude with anyone either. I did whatever they asked so that they would have nothing on me.
The facility needed a speaker for a re-entry conference and asked Dr. Kishore to speak there. As was his practice inside the facility, he avoided answering any questions about medicine. Had he done so, he could have been accused of practicing medicine without a license inside the jail—a particularly egregious offense. He was told specifically, “You can’t practice medicine here. Don’t advocate for Vivitrol® here.”
He then faced slanderous attempts to depict him as a “malingerer,” one who fails to pull his weight on the community work crews. The patent falsity of this charge came to light when Dr. Kishore asked to see the documented proof of his goldbricking, and the documents and state witnesses all testified that not only did he work, he had put in two work details, one without pay. We’ll come back to these work details later in showing the part they were to play in postponing Dr. Kishore’s transfer to the halfway house.
Dr. Kishore had survived five temptations (being labeled a coward in protective custody, practicing medicine without a license, being declared mentally ill, failing to obey orders, and being a malingerer). The sixth tactic became personally dangerous to Dr. Kishore, as the goal was to have him be labeled as a snitch, which would put him in continual jeopardy given the population’s deep hatred for snitches.

Breaking the Snitch Strategy

After repeated (and technically inexplicable) postponements of his transfer to the halfway house, Dr. Kishore’s transfer date came up on the calendar, and a new strategy was formulated to trip him up and block him from getting transferred: get him to become a snitch, and use the resulting blowback to keep him “safely” incarcerated. This approach became manifest two weeks before the transfer date, about July 30 or 31, 2015:
A bisexual male and his pimp were moved into my room. They were super-bullies. For two weeks straight, all night long, they had bright lights on in our cell and turned the television and radio on super loud to prevent me from sleeping. I was the object of unrelenting, nonstop threats being screamed at me by the two.
The apparent goal was to force Dr. Kishore to ask for protective custody to block his pre-release to the halfway house. They sent one of the bullies to the halfway house just ahead of Dr. Kishore. Had Dr. Kishore snitched, the facility could block his transfer on the grounds of bad blood between him and the person he had snitched upon.6 However, the situation didn’t turn out as apparently planned:
When the boom suddenly fell on the two bullies, they claimed, “Kishore snitched on us!” but another inmate rebutted that charge by admitting that he had reported their conduct to staff. That inmate had gone to the administration and said, “Move me out!” “Why?” he was asked. “Because those two guys are giving Kishore a hard time and I can’t bear to watch it any more.” That man bore the snitch label to stop the persecution and sleep deprivation I was being subjected to.7
The embattled physician had navigated all the traps spread upon the path of his feet. They had expected him to become a “leader of the pack” while in custody:
I could easily have gone on that path, had the visiting pastors not kept my focus on the mark set before me.
I’m happy for the experience because I gained further understanding of the drug ecosystem’s dynamics. I can see how the gears mesh. Every doctor should go through three months of incarceration and six weeks in a halfway house.
So the question becomes: why was Dr. Kishore kept so long at Suffolk? The answer involves machinations at higher levels: the higher the level, the worse the outcome, reflecting a likely top-down imposition upon the people in charge. This needs to be unpacked in more detail.

The Long Journey to an Arbitrarily Longer Incarceration

Dr. Kishore originally arrived at Suffolk County House of Correction on April 7. Caseworker Kevin Fitzgerald studied his situation and, based on rational consideration of all factors, signed an individual service plan specifying that Dr. Kishore should be transferred to the halfway house on April 17—only ten days after arrival. The caseworker obviously knew that Dr. Kishore simply did not belong there.
At the initial classification hearing, Ms. Mitchell overruled the classification approved by caseworker Fitzgerald. Overlooking the reasoning applied by Fitzgerald, the new ruling was premised on the length of sentence (LOS) and the nature of the offense: Dr. Kishore would have to earn prerelease on the CWP (community work program) crews. These are five-week programs, completion of which should have triggered the transfer out of the prison to the halfway house.
When the first five weeks expired on May 31, “politics kicked in and I was reclassified to stay and work another five weeks,” which ended on July 14. Still no release: he worked another four weeks, finally being released to the halfway house on August 11. These delays are certainly consistent with an implicit concern regarding likely Boston Globe blowback for releasing Dr. Kishore that early.
For this and other reasons to be left unstated at this point, Dr. Kishore believed there was pressure to keep him in the system longer. People at Suffolk County wondered why he was even there. Drug dealers—who openly admitted to be such—were being put back out on the street before Dr. Kishore.
Dr. Kishore had satisfied the work requirements but no prerelease was in sight. This amounted not merely to a demand to “bring back the broomstick of the Wicked Witch of the West,” but to the kind of mission creep associated with a project death march, whereby the goalposts keep being moved (Gen. 29:25). The longer Dr. Kishore’s stay, the greater risk of breaking one of the rules, written and unwritten:
They tried very hard to make me stumble, to keep me there longer. I sailed through very well, and for that I have to thank the pastors who came in to see me. Nobody else was allowed to see me. A food-server and repeat offender at Suffolk told me, “They couldn’t break you. They tried to marinate you [in the prison culture] and couldn’t.”
Dr. Kishore showed me a check, drawn on Century Bank, made out to him for the amount of $25.99—his pay for August 1 through 11, 2015. “Don’t spend it all in one place,” I said, but there was more to the story behind the $3/day rates paid to prisoners in a system where no minimum wage prevails. In the doctor’s view, the prisoners are being exploited to clean up the highways. Dr. Kishore had worked in groups of five picking up trash: forced labor based on the contract between the House of Corrections and the City of Boston, which uses federal highway funds for this purpose. “I’m allowed a savings account, but no checking account,” he explained. “You cash it.”

From Frying Pan Into The Fire

But at last the system could hold Dr. Kishore no longer, as he failed to supply the keepers with sufficient rationale to hold him any longer. As Solzhenitsyn said of having been in the dragon’s belly: “It was unable to digest me and threw me up.” Like Solzhenitsyn, Dr. Kishore has become a witness of what it’s like in the dragon’s belly: a remarkable journey for one whose life’s work was to keep people from ending up there.
But as stated at the outset of this article, the halfway house itself has its own pathologies. When I asked Dr. Kishore directly, “How does this place compare to Suffolk?” he replied:
At least at Suffolk there was method to the madness. Here it’s all loosey-goosey. The people in charge are all untrained civilians, lacking professionalism.
The halfway house is not without its own traps (which can’t be discussed here). And a significant amount of the mail Dr. Kishore received from our readership was destroyed during the transfer, being classified as “excess property” that was thrown away by the facility.8 But like the jail proper, it has its own works-based religion, with a self-contained jobs program that is perhaps even more dysfunctional than the one at Suffolk (where there was method to the madness).
Having a job is an important element for going home. Dishwashing is the ticket. Most residents here take up dishwashing. But once you go home, you can’t quit the job. You’ll be violating the terms of your release.
Enter CORI. CORI refers to the Criminal Offender Record Information industry, which subsidizes jobs through tax breaks, etc. These subsidized jobs are “allegedly productive,” but the truth is often very different. As Dr. Kishore noted:
Realistically, nobody can live as a dishwasher. But even if the person leaves that job after one month, the employer keeps the tax break, which I regard as a kickback.
Remarkably, you don’t even have to be incarcerated for your employer to get the tax break. You just have to show that you have a record.
The companies need to keep hiring ex-offenders to keep the federal cash flowing. Massachusetts is number one in the nation in the number of CORI-friendly companies.
CORI-friendly means friendly to ex-offenders. But the reality is that these companies are CORI-exploiting: they exploit a person’s record for the tax break, then fire them while continuing to get the promised cash.
What you have here, in effect, is another entire industry that has grown around a sector of the work force that creates an incentive to maintain a portion of the population revolving through the criminal justice system. Many other such industries have been identified in the earlier articles in this series, but this was new in Dr. Kishore’s experience.

To Parole or Not to Parole

September 14, 2015, was the projected day for Dr. Kishore’s parole hearing. The prospects look grim to Dr. Kishore in respect to this process (“They’re not going to give me any breaks here; I’ll be going the whole nine yards.”). But that’s not relevant because Dr. Kishore is taking a surprisingly different approach to the matter of parole.
I will likely refuse parole because they want you to grovel and say you’re sorry. I can fight better with an unbroken spirit, not having groveled for parole.
Parole entails an extra month of supervision, of scrutiny. In short, parole has strings attached, but Dr. Kishore wants freedom, not intrusions upon his family. Under parole, his family gets dragged into the entire matter, and he is very protective of his family. In fact, in his view, the unsung hero of this entire story is his wife:
She has been holding the fort. Once a spouse is incarcerated, marital breakup is often inevitable. The stress on a marriage is immense.
This is certainly a bold move: staying longer to be free of the state’s burdensome yoke. But Dr. Kishore has gone a big step further, filing a motion that defied the expectation of the gatekeepers.

To Revise and Revoke

In Massachusetts law, a Motion to Revise and Revoke asks the judge to “revise or revoke such sentence if it appears that justice may not have been done.” This is a major undertaking. You must file such a motion within sixty days of your plea for the courts to act upon it.
Dr. Kishore filed this motion within the sixty-day statutory timeframe. He did this in the face of pressure of his law firm, who begged him not to reopen the case and seek a change in the sentence. Dr. Kishore, in effect, would be finishing out his sentence under the plea deal, and then asking the judge to revoke the sentence. This re-involves the attorneys who had thought they’d finally seen the last of this case (see previous articles in this series to understand why they would oppose getting back in the saddle).
In doing this, Dr. Kishore is doing more than merely stirring the pot: he’s beating a hornets’ nest with a club. Legal and procedural issues that were safely dead and buried now walk the earth again. The state’s authorities have done everything they can to insure that Dr. Kishore’s clinics will never reopen, assuming he would roll over and submit. Why would anyone jeopardize his future with new guilty verdicts on the horizon after the “safety” of a plea deal had been negotiated?
Only a highly principled person would make such a move. And he has.
Let’s consider some of the legal and procedural questions that will be reopened, questions that will become problematic if Dr. Kishore makes headway with them. We will unpack the details in the next article in this series, but understanding their existence is useful.
The Attorney That Didn’t Deliver. Dr. Kishore had filed a civil complaint against one of his attorneys for failure to properly defend him against the standing charges. The court ruled, in writing, that it would not consider the civil case as the evidence shows that the breach involved criminal conduct on the part of Dr. Kishore’s attorneys. One would think this meant that proceeding against the attorney with criminal charges would be straightforward, with a court already pronouncing upon the gravamen of the charges. But no, a technicality was invoked: Dr. Kishore requested that he be provided the time needed to get out of state custody so he can prepare the case against the attorney, but the court decided that the attorney’s right to a swift resolution trumped Dr. Kishore’s right to relief for a criminal offense inflicted by his own defense attorney. This issue will doubtless fester as an example of the syndrome of injustice being directed against the world’s top drug addiction specialist.
The Amazing Disappearing Medical License. The Board of Review for medicine in Massachusetts continues its pogrom against Dr. Kishore, having lobbied for Dr. Kishore to voluntarily surrender his medical license rather than let it lapse. The reason given for the Board’s continued actions are (1) the sentence and (2) the medical records issue. You’ve just read that the sentence is being rescinded by way of the filed Revise and Revoke motion, and the fallacy behind the medical records pretext had been exploded in an earlier article in this series. (In effect, there were no lost records, and in one case the statute of limitations had run out for the request and Dr. Kishore still met the requirement.)
But why the urgency of getting Dr. Kishore to sign paperwork showing that he had resigned his medical license? Mr. John Costello perhaps needs to explain why he contacted Dr. Kishore’s attorney, Harold Jacobi, in writing, stating that Dr. Kishore could reacquire his license after consummating the resignation, while a press release received by Cape Cod Online claims that the resignation is permanent and cannot be reversed—ever. On the face of it, it appears that somebody deceived Dr. Kishore into signing the resignation, because it’s impossible for both statements to be simultaneously true. Either the resignation can be undone, or it cannot. The resignation was signed with the assurance there was a route for license restoration, but the press release denies it.
Asymmetric Justice. The irregularities surrounding the cases pursued against Dr. Kishore will be brought back front-and-center. The bribe allegations, as pursued by the state, make no sense, where identical contracts were treated differently by the state (some sober houses were indicted, others were not).
How is it, Dr. Kishore asks, that four out of four halfway house owners received no jail time and two years probation, while he was indicted for four cases where no halfway house owner was indicted?
Concerted Efforts That Shouldn’t Have Been. On the same day that the criminal charges against Dr. Kishore were filed, precipitating his arrest and first incarceration in September, 2011, Precision Labs filed a civil case against Dr. Kishore and his clinics that attached all the bank accounts and real estate, blocking Dr. Kishore from defending himself against the criminal charges. The simultaneous filing of the civil case by the private laboratory with the criminal charges defunded Dr. Kishore’s defense.
This could plausibly be pure coincidence and simple bad luck—if it weren’t for the bizarre fact that both the criminal motions by the state and the civil motions by the private lab have remarkably similar wording. Dr. Kishore is certain that the same hand wrote both motions. How is that possible?
Paper Towns Meets Federal Guidelines: Dr. Kishore received a particularly ominous note from the government, which I have in my files, which makes clear that he may no longer work anywhere, in any capacity (including clerical), where federal medical funds are accepted. The document represents a total blackballing of the person that is arguably the world’s expert on treating drug addiction.
You might be interested to know exactly how Dr. Kishore received this letter. There is a peculiarity in how the letter is addressed that is very telling. The letter uses the prisoner identification number that permits the prison to route the letter to the right inmate. But in this instance, there was a paper town involved.
A paper town is a fictional city inserted on a map by cartographers to prove that somebody had plagiarized their map: if the fictional city is on the other company’s map, it was obviously duplicated because the town was arbitrarily inserted to prove provenance of the map.
And it so happened that when this magazine published the contact information for Dr. Kishore (for those interested in writing him while imprisoned), a minor typographical error was introduced into his prisoner identification number. This faulty number is, in effect, a paper town. If somebody duplicates it, it is because they used the information from this publication as their source for information.9 Yet, lo and behold, the version of the prisoner identification number used by the government to inform Dr. Kishore that he could no longer work at places receiving federal medical funding is the number that only appears in this publication. The government didn’t seek out the information from other government sources, but from this magazine. As averred before, the government knows full well exactly what they are doing to Dr. Kishore and why they want his program destroyed. The letter makes clear that the Massachusetts Model will never be resurrected: not one federal dime will ever be permitted for expensing against this treatment regimen.

Dr. Kishore versus the Silos

Dr. Kishore is nothing if not a big-picture man. He provided me a hand-drawn graphic showing interlocked gears illustrating the different silos (vertical industries) that interlink together in a self-reinforcing loop that keeps the present system fatally vested in its own failures. The silos (individual industries, like the homeless industry, the addiction treatment industry, the rehab silo, detox silo, halfway house silo, etc.) are run by oligarchs who have no communication one with the other. We will revisit this powerful concept in the next article: what is important for the moment is to understand what Dr. Kishore’s approach means in terms of this silo ecosystem:
For this existing silo infrastructure to survive, you have to convert an acute problem into a chronic issue, requiring lifelong treatment. You must never get off the bus.
But Dr. Kishore was graduating people from his program, which is unacceptable: it doesn’t fit the silo requirement of keeping people on treatment all their lives (as methadone,10 etc., are geared for). As Dr. Kishore candidly observed,
I did not play ball the way they want me to play.
The reason he didn’t play ball was because of the radiating social costs of drug abuse, including family breakup. This was a situation requiring a solution. To this day, the government continues to pour insane amounts of money into non-solutions it parades as good medicine. Because Dr. Kishore has de-siloized the system successfully, his methods had to be buried with violence. In the meantime, we see news reports daily that document the worsening crisis in Massachusetts (just this week it was learned that the previous numbers of drug deaths were underreported). But the madness never stops because the watchdog was put on ice, allowing the nation’s drug czar to blithely suppress the truth to support deadly non-answers to our crises.
At the end of our discussion, Dr. Kishore waved his hand at his handwritten graphic showing the interlocked gears of the drug crisis silos. Fixing his mind upon the growing number of victims of the status quo policy, the modern equivalent of bloodletting, he asks me with unexpected passion,
Who is standing against this? Only my pastors! Nobody else!
We will elaborate on these last several points in our next article, including the requisite documentation, and report on the reopening of Dr. Kishore’s case: a case being reopened at his own request and at his own peril, for the sake of the victims of his state’s benighted medical policies.

1. He lists the eight steps thus: (1) self-examination from awaking at 4 a.m. until 5 a.m.; (2) reference, meaning study of pertinent Biblical verses; (3) prayer (in contrast, the residents were narcissistic and regarded self-love as their mantra); (4) fasting—Dr. Kishore missed one meal every day and gave his breakfast to the young kids in residence; (5) self-denial, whereby he resisted ostentation and refused to collect offered memorabilia, like reject Reebok shoes, that would serve to remind him of his stay here; (6) reading the Word—the pastors guided him, focusing on sins, repentance, patience, and love for family (see main text for the residents’ alternative approach to this); (7) meditating on the Word the entire day; (8) discipline—he was ready for the day by 6 a.m., having arisen before anyone else.
2. Dr. Kishore is well aware of the fact that the modern prison system is un-Biblical. He is commenting here on the reality that exists and how time should be redeemed under such a system. The system actually amplifies the very behaviors it seeks to remediate.
3. For some inmates, such laughter is a coping mechanism. For others, its function is far less benign.
4. For instance, ramen (the food) is a vehicle of barter (actually a medium of exchange) in the facility. This reflects the toxic culture behind bars, as there is no true currency inside prison, so one must be invented by the inmates.
5. Dr. Kishore served as the Associate Medical Director for the Department of Correction in Massachusetts from 1980 to 1991.
6. Dr. Kishore remarked that while everybody talks about the Thieves’ Code of Honor in the prison, which motivates resistance to snitching, such talk about a code of honor is “kind of funny, because nobody is keeping it.”
7. In a peculiar turn of fate, the bully who had been transferred to the halfway house ahead of Dr. Kishore turned around 180 degrees once there and had no interest in persecuting him further. Dr. Kishore believes the behavior change is explicable in light of the absence of the man’s partner and apparent enabler/provocateur.
8. Dr. Kishore did save as much as he could: a stack of correspondence eight inches high from his supporters around the country. He gave the stack to me to protect these precious notes of encouragement from subsequent loss. He was not allowed to save the ones declared to be “excess property,” but he could save those remaining from further attrition, whether by state policy or encounters with untrustworthy residents.
9. It could be a wild coincidence, but the exact position of the error in that location in the character string has astronomical odds of occurring. So the far greater likelihood is, the government is reading these articles.
10. It is ironic that the residents here are technically eligible, upon walking out of the halfway house, to receive a methadone dose once a day for life, fully prepaid by the government!
