(Four eyewitness inmates filed this report about an incident that occurred on Sept 12, 2023)
“We girls were just coming back from pill call, so it was 10:50 am in D-1 bay, San Carlos. Lt. Adamu started raving and screaming about smoking in the bathroom, and called us ‘shit talking bitches’. Then he started taking ID’s and accusing everyone of smoking in the bathroom…. including the nonsmokers! He yelled that he would take the matter to central office, and take restitution money out of everyone’s account in D1, to pay for a new fire alarm.
Allegedly, according to these residents, whenever Adamu comes into D1 he takes any roll of toilet paper he sees on our shelf even if all we have is the policy allowed 2 rolls. When we try to reason with him, he threatens us with a ticket. He only does this to WHITE girls. When asked that day if he was only doing it because we were white he said, ” Exactly.”
(This is not the only incident that these gals in D1 have complained about, they consider this constant harassment. I too have witnessed the Lt’s rages, and profanity firsthand. I’ve also had the opportunity to observe Adamu without inmates (except me) around. He is a completely different person. He’s affable, funny, cheerful, hums happy tunes, smiles, and gives fist bumps…..to his fellow officers. When I asked officers what they thought of Adamu, it was a 100% positive response.
For some reason, this individual believes that being mean and disrespectful to women helps their rehabilitation, (or this is how he was trained to handle inmates?—Ed.)
