We received copies of grievances and letters regarding the “impossibility of PT when in chains.”
One gal with a titanium rod in her leg, complained to the transport officers about removing at least one leg chain so she could do the exercises. The PT therapist himself asked the officer to remove the chain long enough for him to do a proper evaluation of range-of-movement. Nothing doing replied the DOC guard.
Allegedly, the same goes for arm therapy…. chains stay on. According to the girls, they do the best they can wrapped up in metal chains that totally restrain their movement.
How can they recover from their injuries properly?
