In November, on D yard, we had raw sewage erupt from the drain on 3 pod. I saw residents picking their way around the feces near their doors. We counted 2-1/2 hours later ’til there was a response. Did we get men in HazMat suits? Noooo, we got other inmates cleaning up the mess in their tennis shoes, no overalls. And usiing the brooms we use to sweep our floors!!

Some new inmates to Perryville have not been issued underwear (panties.) Do you know how we keep our sanitary pad in place? We have to go ask a guard to let us borrow a panty to use for the week! Where does $1-billion go? Not enough for panties???

Our showers have no light and few curtains. The old tile was ripped out, covered in quick-set cement and then painted – it’s like showering in a dark cave.
