I need to give you a little background on Perryville so this will be more understandable. This prison was built in the early
Explaining the Shower Picture
This is an accurate sketch of a real shower in “B” yard, Santa Cruz unit. Do you see the loose wires hanging in the lower door jamb? I was told they were “live” because this shower light is still on. I won’t test this theory! I’ve tried to portray all the standing water in front of those wires. All the shower units have standing water because the drains are all plugged.
Standing water = black mold we see everywhere
When inmates complained about the condition of this shower, they just took off the door and left it open. In the shower next to this one (not pictured) is the same filth.
The regulators (hot and cold) will not engage so moving the handle from Hot to Cold does nothing. The temperature the DOC sets is what you get. In the winter the water is cold and in the summer, it’s hot. The water pressure would increase dramatically if they would soak the shower heads in Lime-aWay to remove 50 years of accumulated minerals.
The Most BRUTAL Thing I’ve Seen in Perryville
11-26-23 8-9am. In the 15 years I’ve been in Perryville this was the most brutal incident that I’ve witnessed in person. There are horrible documented stories of brutality to women here, and I’ve seen my share. Pile on’s of 7 grown men on a 90lb woman are not unusual, neither is women becoming pregnant by guards, or the hundreds of ways the DOC treats our vulnerable women prisoners.
But this was up close and personal. Ms. S. had been deteriorating mentally for about a month before this final episode. She was exhibiting personality changes, then they became more pronounced as time went on. In the four days leading up to her psychological break, her friends in A3 watched her rapid descent into madness. Ms.S. spent all her time kicking out, fighting, against imaginary beings, and screaming at “them”. She didn’t eat, sleep, drink, bathe, or even go to the bathroom. As her torment grew more agitated, several of her friends tried to alert staff, but of course they were ignored. At one point her best friend tried to talk to Lt. Adamu and he replied, ” If you bother me again I’ll give you a ticket.” (Isn’t he a treasure.)
Then that fateful morning when COII Lucid was told…THEN things happened. CO Lucid was very calm and talked quietly to Ms. S. in her cube. Suddenly, S. was out of her cube dancing and screaming obscenities. Lucid called the cavalry, the yard was shut down, and seven guards descended on the scene. CO Gully is a huge, 230lb, 6’2 body-builder, and he tried to cuff her first. As she saw the guards surrounding her…she went wild. They couldn’t handcuff her so she was thrown on her bunk and held down by 5 guards, one was filming the event. I felt they were entirely too rough physically with her, and Sgt. Brown was the MOST culpable in inflaming the situation by YELLING at her at the top of her lungs.
Do these people have any crisis intervention training at all???? Apparently not! I have alerted the Court Appointed Monitors, and hope to hell the DOC has not erased the tapes.
Warden, Would You Eat In A Restaurant That Had No Dishwasher?
We were astounded to learn that San Carlos has NO DISHWASHER. How that escaped our attention for so long is mystifying, but we recently had a slew of letters about it.
In interviewing residents that worked at Carlos kitchen, we were able to get a clear picture of the “dishwashing” procedure. There are 3 sinks….the 1st sink is where they spray off the food on the tray. The next step with the 2nd sink is an alleged “disinfectant” which they are dunked in, then on to the 3rd sink of rinse water.
The people interviewed said they were rushed by the Trinity staff and couldn’t thoroughly clean the trays. Reportedly, the cups and sporks were only given a cursory rinse.
Several letters divulged alleged mold growing profusely in and around food prep tables. Guess who is calling the Health Department? US!
No-Care Naphcare sued for $26.75 Million!
This was the verdict in Washington State, for the death of Cindy Hill after being denied care for a ruptured a intestine. Naphcare was accused of “subjecting inmates to risk of serious harm” and “putting profits over the medical wellbeing of inmates.”
The complaint declared Hill’s condition was treatable and her death preventable. Ms. Hill was found in her cell in a fetal position on the floor screaming in pain. Unable to stand or walk she was dragged across the floor on a blanket to see Naphcare’s RN. The nurse gave her no treatment. Later that day Hill was found dead in a pool of blood and vomit.
What will Naphcare nurses do to YOUR loved one at Perryville? It might be wise to call/write Governor Hobbs to get this vicious vendor out of Arizona prisons.
