To Molly Gill/MGill@FAMM.org. Your article in the Republic, “This is the only way to clean up our squalid prisons”, was outstanding! You hit every nail on the head. Infrastructure in Perryville is more than crumbling…it’s downright dangerous to live here.
What I wouldn’t give for a water safety analysis of the water that flows through the pipes. Is there any way to get one?? The guards, staff, and contractors all drink bottled water. The female ASU volunteers on Cruz were called into the yard office and told NOT to drink the water. That’s just one example.
The female inmate population has an inordinate amount of cancer, stomach problems, and thyroid deficiencies than the outside public. Are the food AND water not fit for human consumption? We hope Rep. Walt Blackwell’s prison oversight bill is passed. Readers, please tell your friends and family to contact Mr. Blackwell and give your support!
Yes. Perryville is falling apart! The water pipes break all the time-probably due all the rust. The food is labeled “not fit for human cinsumption” yet the inmates have to eat it unless they have an outsider who pays a fortune to get a securepak and commissary money.
Medical care is almost nonexistent.
Nobody there cares.
They need an independent oversite asap!!!
I remember while I was incarcerated, none of the staff would drink the water. I remember one staff member telling me it was because they were directed not to. Really makes me wonder what is in the water. I mean I know it is all reclaiming water as is the most part of Goodyear, but why tell staff to to drink the water? Really makes a person go hmmmm.
In the news in the past few days have been reports of contamination in the water from Luke AFB, Perryville’s close neighbor
