(We thought after the ACLU descended on Perryville March 14th, that Naphcare would have the fear of the Lord instilled in them. Oh no, they actually got worse toward the inmates. These are snippets of stories we’re working on.)

M.L. went in for her chronic care appointment and saw Provider Dodier. She is being treated for HepC, but the medicine Naphcare provides is famous for severe nausea. When she asked for a substitute with fewer side effects, she was denied.

M.L. has another debilitating disease that is very painful and was prescribed IBU and Tylenol. Grab this…..Dodier said to her, “We’re not going to give that to you anymore, you’ve got to buy it yourself in the store. We have to make budget cuts.”

Robin, who we’ve written about under the headline, *Terminal cancer patient formally in hospice*, had a recent encounter with provider Dodier. Provider Dodier informed Robin, “There are no records on the computer that you have cancer.” (of course, the computer still lists the blonde, blue eyed woman as “Black”. Ed.) So this so-called provider told her there was ” no reason” to give her morphine, but he would. Then he proceeded to cut out her other pain meds!

Lan told us she had no idea she was scheduled for surgery until the guard told her to report to the V gate at 8 am. Before surgery with a general anesthetic, the patient is told the night before so they refrain from food or water after midnight. No heads-up here. Lan’s Oncologist told her she would be getting a biopsy first, but when she came out of anesthesia she found out they removed the tumor without telling her!

Ms. R. has been churning out urgent grievances to get healthcare for her diagnosis. Naphcare denies her at every turn. She is in constant, severe pain from the uterine masses discovered by CT Scan at Abrazo West hospital. Naphcare denied her request for a hysterectomy that was recommended by the GYN at the hospital.

We reviewed her grievances, and when Ms. R. asked to see a liver specialist this is Naphcare’s final answer, “Your chart was reviewed by our regional medical team, and the need for a hepatologist consult was not approved, and plan of care was to monitor you at this time.” How do they deny a liver specialist to a patient with cirrhosis?! Will they “monitor” her to her death?

Portal hypertension is life-threatening and they still won’t send her to see a specialist. She accuses Naphcare of cutting off her medication for so long, that she had to go to ER. In her grievance regarding the pharmacy taking too long to fill prescriptions, this is what Naphcare wrote back, “Unfortunately, we do not have a pharmacy on-site and are AT THE MERCY OF MAIL ORDER FOR ALL MEDICATIONS” (caps ours). Do you believe this sh*t?

For our readers who don’t know why this is so critical, let us explain it to you. On April 7, 2023, the United States District Court for the District of Arizona entered a Permanent Injunction to address the unconstitutional provision of health care and the unconstitutional living conditions imposed on the residents of the prison (called prisoners in the Permanent Injunction) held in maximum custody, detention, or watch. As part of the Permanent Injunction, the Court ordered the creation of a confidential mechanism for current Arizona Department of Corrections, Rehabilitation, and Reentry (ADCRR) residents, former residents, friends and family of residents, prison staff, contract staff (including the contracted health care vendor), and the public, to notify the Monitors of problems or complaints related to unsafe or unsound medical care, unsafe or unsound mental health care, or unconstitutional living conditions for residents in maximum custody, detention, or watch.

Every prisoner has this Injunction Portal app on their tablet to report abuses to the Court Appointed Monitors. When they go to the app and report something and hit send, the app says: “New complaint sent successfully.” THEN you can hit the back button to get your date/time and confirmation number. That’s not happening on Piestewa or Carlos for sure, and reportedly not on Rosa or Lumley either. Our sources are trying to get info on Cruz. What happens now on the app is the message/ Application not available. net::ERR_CACHE_MISS.

Mr. Siegal is the Securus person at Perryville and he is aware of the problem. He has said in emails that the Injunction Portal is a DOC app, and he only has control over Securus apps. Before this blog goes into full-blown conspiracy mode, we’re going to investigate further how this happened, WHEN it happened, and who’s to blame. One might be tempted to wonder if the DOC would shut down complaints so Judge Silver wouldn’t know what’s going on??

We are certain of our opinion on this however…. the medical/mental health Naphcare nightmare is the WORST it’s ever been in the 15 years we’ve been watching Perryville. Women are dying, being maimed, and paralyzed due to NO-CARE NAPHCARE!
