Introduction to this Topic by the Editor
I need to give you a little background on Perryville so this will be more understandable. This prison was built in the early
Explaining the Shower Picture
This is an accurate sketch of a real shower in “B” yard, Santa Cruz unit. Do you see the loose wires hanging in the lower door jamb? I was told they were “live” because this shower light is still on. I won’t test this theory! I’ve tried to portray all the standing water in front of those wires. All the shower units have standing water because the drains are all plugged.
Standing water = black mold we see everywhere
When inmates complained about the condition of this shower, they just took off the door and left it open. In the shower next to this one (not pictured) is the same filth.
The regulators (hot and cold) will not engage so moving the handle from Hot to Cold does nothing. The temperature the DOC sets is what you get. In the winter the water is cold and in the summer, it’s hot. The water pressure would increase dramatically if they would soak the shower heads in Lime-aWay to remove 50 years of accumulated minerals.
DOC Tells R and A Women to “Fail the Mandatory test!!
Those low-down bastards. Anything-to-make-a-buck Perryville.
Now the staff is telling the girls to fail the test in R A so that Mandatory will be a “major program” when they go to the general population. What they DON’T tell them is
1) Top pay will be 10 cents/hour
2) You’ll never be a phase III
3) And you won’t go home early.
Why does DOC do that? Because they make Cha Ching, more money each time those poor kids take the mandatory test. And the more they fail, the more money the DOC makes!
Oregon And California Prisons All You Can Eat Salad Bars…And More!!
We’ve had the opportunity to interview ladies here, that were transferred from other state prisons. What a tale they tell. Oh, how Arizona punishes its people.
The West Coast prisons have fresh salad bars for lunch and dinner. The residents can grow their own gardens, or the prison pays for an abundance of produce. Meat: 100% USDA-inspected beef and chicken…NO SHMEAT! No “toddler portions”, eat till you’re full.
Can you imagine a bulletin board filled with things to do all day? Art, crafts, pottery, French, German, Italian lessons, Puppy Program, movies, games, enrichment programs, culinary arts, cosmology, coffee bar, etc etc.
What do Arizona prisoners do all day? Sleep. Learn to be a better criminal. Get PTSD. Learn to hate. Learn to hurt.
TABE Money Making Scheme Explained By Advocate
“I am an advocate for all families that are being affected emotionally and financially by ADCRR’s current and unlawful use of TABE 11 and 12 grade, pre-college curriculum, in place of 8th-grade literacy, statute 31.229 and DOC 910, section 3.0 for the financial, political, and overpopulation retention goals.
The new 11/12 grade pre-college curriculum tests were implemented on March 10th, 2022, by CEPT and all education departments to be enforced by Perryville’s Education Department for Mandatory requirements. This unlawful decision has caused residents to fail TABE tests at an alarming rate.
Residents are in phase 2 status until they pass Mandatory, which means they have lower-paying prison jobs, and are disqualified from Televerde, Hometown Hero’s, etc. They can’t participate in many recreation, fundraisers, activities, and are allowed fewer calls and visits with family. They don’t have access to Programs needed/required for release.
Instead of spending their time on college curriculum, they can’t pass, they could be spending it on a GED that will pay a lifetime of benefits when they get out.
We feel this was implemented solely for the purpose of enriching the state’s coffers, and has NOTHING to do with rehabilitation of the residents.” (Readers: when we find out how much the state is making off the backs of the inmates, we’ll let you know. Ed.)
