Infrastructure Nightmares

 

Introduction to this Topic by the Editor

I need to give you a little background on Perryville so this will be more understandable. This prison was built in the early 1970’s by male inmates, for male inmates. The women didn’t come here until about 1990. AS in all government, the cheapest bid got the job. By all reports, this prison was raised fast, and I suspect, with the minimum of supervision of the builder/inmates. These are eye witness reports from the current women residents.

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.

STAFF stealing inmate food!!!!

STAFF stealing inmate food!!!!

Now we know why the inmates complain about the kitchen running out of food….staff, contractors, and officers STEAL the food! How low is that? These are eyewitness reports that should be ON CAMERA to verify these stories.

Officer D. at the V gate office, taunting the ladies coming through from Career Path, “Ha Ha, lookie what I got!” as he allegedly pulls out pack after pack of yogurt. “It sure was yummy! ha ha”.

Medical officer R. holding 3 bags of Aramark cookies and munching them down at pill call (11-12 5:16pm Carlos medical).

Complex Kitchen contractors having BBQ with Aramark chicken breasts, and side dishes covered with Aramark cheese sauce.

Break time finds the employees scarfing down the string cheese the Carlos inmates have NEVER SEEN since Aramark was hired!

More and more reports are coming in, and will be published here. We are sending all these alleged incidents to the MEDIA. Women are banding together to GRIEVE the hell out of Perryville. And DIRECTOR THORNELL will get a registered copy in the mail!!!!

Will DW JONES be thrown out like the Assad regime of Syria?

Will DW JONES be thrown out like the Assad regime of Syria?

What is taking Director Thornell so long to get rid of this guy? Jones (or Tony Baloney as he’s known on San Carlos Unit) is a dictator, and oppressor, just like Assad. The punitive reign of Jones has lasted one year and two months. Many residents have said it’s the worse time they’ve endured in Perryville.

One lady was quoted as saying, “In the 16 years I’ve been subjected to hard time in prison, the year with Jones is easily the worst I’ve ever done. He’s a misogynistic asshole who treats women as yesterday’s trash. He never enters into any dialogue with the ladies, he only issues edicts and PUNISHMENT.”

Judging from the emails we’ve received, Jones is universally hated by both inmates and even some staff. One staff member said, “I’ve put in for a transfer away from Carlos, and I’m not the only one. The good officers that want to make a positive difference are leaving…..only the bullies remain.”
