Ever since the two men escaped a few months ago, new draconian policies have been implemented….. for the women too. Apparently, Director Shinn(splints), thinks that taking away acrylic paint, thermal underwear, and any freedom of movement, will discourage future escapes.
The latest restriction is having to be ESCORTED everywhere, and I mean everywhere. Keep in mind readers, that the DOC is woefully short-staffed. This means that ladies stand in the hot sun waiting a long time for an ‘escort’ to chow, medical, ice call, class, work, or anything. Then when they get to their destination, they wait as long as an hour to walk back. This is especially hard on the elderly and people with disabilities.
There WILL BE medical emergencies if they keep up this nonsense through the summer.
The prison is short of guards in the first place…the VERYhigh temperatures in the summer will cause medical emergencies if they have to stand in the hot sun! Medical is terrible anyway, and now you will be adding heat stroke victims? This policy is insane! Especially cruel and for non violent minimum security inmates it absolutely makes no sense!!
