(We sure have been getting a lot of mail from the public about how bad Carlos visitation is. This is just one of them.—-Ed.)
“I think I’m in an unique position to write this as I’ve visited my daughter at two different Units, Cruz and Carlos. The 2 female officers at Carlos make my visitation experience HELL ON EARTH. Visiting my girl on Cruz was such a pleasant experience, made so by their officers who treated visitors like family. Policy was observed but the guards were not Nazis about it. At no time did the officers display rude behavior toward the inmate or visitor.
Three months ago my daughter was transferred to Carlos and it all changed. Officer Mayor, which I like to call old ” Prune Face”, and Officer Philips run visitation their way, NOT according to policy. On the other units, inmates can go to the bathroom when they need to, and of course, visitors can too. Mayor and Philips only let the inmates use the restroom once on the hour.
But wait! Can they tell ordinary taxpayers when to pee? YES!!! We have to go on the hour too, just like our criminal children! Who do these assholes think they are???
But wait, there’s more! Visitors were allowed by Director Thornell to sit side by side, rather than across the table. Ol’ Prune Face and her wingman Philips say…”No you can’t.” My daughter asked Philips if that was policy, and she replied, “No, it’s not policy and it doesn’t have to be. I can do what I want on this yard!”
Policy does not say I can’t speak to another visitor if I want, but Mayor and Philips will swoop down on you if you glance at another visitor. All us visitors talk on the tram….we all hate Mayor and Philips.
Now, I’m on this blog getting the word out to all visitors who are AS MAD AS HELL….and want to get rid of those jerks on Carlos. Call Director Thornell at (602) 542-5620
