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.
Carlos making 1380 women eat in ONE kitchen
Since the advent of Aramark’s good food and nutrition on Sept 30th, the entire population of San Carlos wants to eat in the chow hall. Instead of making this transition easier, DW Tony Baloney is making it much more difficult. There are TWO kitchens at Carlos, for breakfast and lunch he makes all the women funnel in ONE door at one chow hall. Only at dinner does he open both dining halls.
A Carlos inmate now has her entire life revolve around eating three times a day. Hey, it’s a step up from zero in her miserable existence, before it was 24 hours of sensory deprivation PLUS lousy food. At least now standing in line for 3 hours per day nets her something gratifying…. delicious food.
DW Jones: “Wheelchairs and disabled, EAT LAST
Yep, ol’ Tony Baloney (Anthony Jones) has decreed that folks using wheelchairs, walkers, canes, and other medical chronos, are encouraged to eat the CRUMBS and SCRAPES from the table that the able bodied leave behind! Isn’t he a treasure?
Our eyewitnesses have observed old ladies in walkers crying because their legs hurt from standing in line for over an hour. Women in wheelchairs in the dirt, (because the line is so long it extends through the baseball field) sliding backward and tipping over from the rough ground. It’s still 115 outside, so there were several gals that succumbed to the heat standing for so long. Why are they willing to put themselves through this? For nutrition that has been denied them for 15 years!
If you could have a cold fresh banana after not seeing one for over a decade, wouldn’t you do anything for it? Chilled yogurt…..they never see that outside a food visit. Aramark has been feeding Arizona inmates people food!!! Not dog food anymore. One guard complained out loud grumpily, “These assholes eat better than I do now.”
Well, it appears to us, the asshole, is the guy at the top of Carlos that showers disdain on the handicapped.
No-Care-Naphcare posts inmate health info online!
As reported by the Arizona Republic on Oct 2nd, Naphcare training guides, posted online some inmates’ images, name, medications, and diagnosis, visible to anyone with a browser. ACLU attorneys found this while researching medical record systems used by state prisons. If the privacy breach affects more than 500 patients, federal law requires Naphcare to publicly report it. ACLU demanded the website be taken down immediately, and told the DOC to respond within a week detailing steps to address the issue.
