I have Polycystic Ovary Syndrome. My Corizon provider says it’s “too expensive” to treat, so just take aspirin. This disease cause me to grow a beard. I got a ticket for not shaving!

A.P.

In 2014 I had a stroke in prison. Half my face was paralyzed, and I was rushed to West Valley Hospital, where a CT scan confirmed the diagnosis. I kept telling my unit provider that my blood pressure was high, but they insisted it was “in range” and prescribed no meds. After my hospital visit I was prescribed blood pressure meds, but they didn’t come for 2 days. During that 2 day time I had three more tIAs.

“Just before Christmas 2018 my toilet stopped working. The button refused to flush. The guards gave me a bucket to pour water into the toilet – that doesn’t completely fix it you know! After 3 days of being locked up in that sewer/cell, the grey shirts fixed it.”
