This Court has instituted a reduced payment procedure for indigent plaintiffs who are institutionalized but who are not prisoners as defined in 28 USC Section 1915(h).

The plaintiff Don Collins is currently detained at Rushville Treatment and Detention Facility, and is thus subject to the reduced payment procedure.
