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.
Refugees From Cruz Trickle Into Minimum Custody
We’ve interviewed many women who have reclassed from medium to minimum lately, most from Cruz to Carlos. Here are excerpts from their stories.
“After years in a two-man cell, I was thrust into the bright lights of dorm-style living. I cried. I was so overwhelmed with this loud sensory experience and I was frightened. It never gets dark and you’re never, ever, alone. No privacy whatsoever. Imagine 325 people in a Bay talking all at once. The constant din is enough to drive you crazy right there. How do they expect you to sleep with the lights on? What’s up with that?!
” “The first time I saw dorm-style living I cried my eyes out and plotted a way to get a major ticket. Only a major would give me enough points to get out of Carlos.”
“After 3 weeks in Carlos having come from Cruz, I can tell you it took some getting used to. If it weren’t for air conditioning, NO ONE would stay here….there would be a mass exodus back to Cruz and Lumley. When air comes online on medium yards how will they keep people on the minimum units???”
Headlines We Are Working On
- Inmates’ FICO scores continue to be ruined due to nonpayment of medical bills by DOC’s insurers. Naphcare and Corizon.
- Staff harmed by Fentanyl fiasco being gaslighted by DOC. They are being told it’s not really fentanyll.
- Inmate riot on Lumley being downplayed to public and media. “nothing to see here, move along.”
- Conditions on Perryville continue to DETERIORATE!
LUMLEY RIOT: Police Called the Night of 8-18
From text messages generated by Lumley inmates, we were able to cobble together an alleged reason for this incident. According to the inmates, a Lumley officer allegedly hit a woman in the middle of a seizure and cuffed her. When other women went to her defense, the escalating fight between staff and women resulted.
Allegedly, the women started fires in the trash cans and broke windows. Outside police were called in and used flash bangs and other riot suppression gear.
One officer was told in the briefing Saturday morning, “It looked like the 4th of July with thunderstorms”. Other units were short-staffed because of this on Saturday.
One woman on Carlos lay ” unresponsive” all night Friday because all medical staff were on Lumley. That woman was carried away in an ambulance at 6:30 am Sat.
