We just had a lengthy interview with this 37-year-old young lady. Here is what she told us. “I was going to have an MRI on my breasts at the hospital. As usual, I was chained head to foot, and accompanied by 2 guards. The MRI technician was not there, but the hospital decided to place another staff member there to substitute. This new staffer asked me to step into the room and started to explain the procedure. I specifically asked if my chains should be removed, and she said ” That won’t be a problem “.

As I moved to the bed there was a loud sound, and my body was slammed to the outside of the machine! The belly chained tightened around my torso that I felt like I was torn in two. The pain was terrible! The handcuffs cut deep into my flesh and started to bleed profusely. I felt like I couldn’t breathe and was going to pass out.

The guard tried to help me but forgot about all the metal (gun) he carries around his waist, and got stuck too.

Now the fire department is called, people scurrying around yelling, but no one will turn the damn thing off!! The big red button on the wall is right there…..I’m screaming for them to push it.. but inexplicably… no one does!

The firemen can’t come in because they have metal all over them. Someone tells me to hold on 15 more minutes….. who are these people??!!!!! I can’t breathe!

As the tech sees me turn blue, she FINALLY pushes the red button. There is a click…then merciful relief. I collapsed on the floor.

I have permanent scarring on my waist from being burned by the chains. Ditto my hands and wrist from handcuffs.”

We have an eyewitness on A bay in San Carlos that has made records of CO Lucid’s denial of bathroom breaks during count. Here they are:

• 6-29 11:43 to ? no announcement of count cleared at 12:11pm
• 7-12 10:40 to 11:53
• 7-24 10:45 to Noon

This officer makes the elderly and infirm wait an HOUR and HALF without going to the restroom. This is draconian, evil, and cruel. It’s even worse during a KILLER HEAT WAVE when all the experts, and even the DOC itself encourages drinking lots of water.

Here’s a direct quote from a 74-year-old, “When Lucid is bay officer I automatically stop drinking water about 9:30am, in order to make it through count without wetting myself. All the other officers let you use the bathroom after about 40 minutes into count. We are counted usually within the first 20 minutes, so we’re not disrupting anything. I understand they don’t want you going to the laundry or microwave room during count, but women over 65+ need to visit the restroom more often than a youngster. I get really THIRSTY waiting for count to clear…it’s cruel.”
