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.
We Celebrate Three Health Professionals from Perryville
The medical departments for the prison have been slammed by the Court, the media, and most other sources. We’d like to take the time to honor 3 heroes of medicine that take care of the inmate population. These folks epitomize the round-the-clock work, and unending dedication that it takes to staff Perryville’s various departments.
- DR. IBRAMS M.D. (Board Certified Super Hero)
- NURSE MUMMS RN. (IPC)
- NURSE LANIER RN. (San Carlos)
Our sincere thanks from this website, and the inmates that wrote in about these extraordinary individuals.oard Certified Super Hero) NURSE MUMMS RN. (IPC) NURSE LANIER RN. (San Carlos)
DISTURBING NEW TREND/ Hungry inmates scavenging lay-in trays!
(Reported from ALL units in Perryville.) Inmates say Trinity corporation has cut food portions even more for female inmates. We added up email/snail mail complaints, and lack of food is trending #1.
It is reported that in medium custody, the women descend on the lay-in storage unit, and scattered piles of trays, to scrape leftover food in their bowls. Fights allegedly happen. In minimum units, it’s reported, the indigent and new R and A people perch on their bunks at 4 am, so they can steal the breakfast trays before the intended recipient can wake up. Their crime? THEY’RE HUNGRY DAMN IT!
We have an email from someone who has been at Peeville for 14 straight years, and we quote her, “In 2010 when I got here, there was so much food piled on weekend trays I couldn’t eat it all, plus we had apples, oranges, and bananas on Sat-Sun. They cut out fresh fruit that same year, but portions remained adequate. Imperceptibly, portions and quality declined year after year. Hamburgers stopped being beef and started being ” smeat” (chicken parts), they cut out tomatoes, cheese, and onion. Baked potatoes disappeared. One by one good things were taken, and SLOP remained by 2023. “.
And yet, slop is appealing when there is no other option. (Regarding pregnant ladies: The only extra food these mothers got was 1 peanut butter sandwich and a pint of milk. They complained of constant hunger and said they delivered low birth weight babies.
Hopefully, HB 2639 will alleviate this horrible problem. (Thank you, Governor Hobbs!) We will stay on this story and report to our readers.
Carlos Property Loses Elderly Lady’s TV, then tells her to file a grievance
CO PEARCH is in charge of Mail and Property for San Carlos. When the 73-year-old inmate went to the hospital, why did PEARCH send half her property to Lumley and leave half on Carlos? Why after “searching” for 5 days is the TV still missing? Is this retribution against the inmate for exercising her freedom of speech?
This particular inmate has been vocal about what she perceives to be PEARCH’s alleged bullying toward older inmates. Could this even be a “set-up” so if this inmate borrows a TV, the guards are alerted and the elderly lady gets a major theft ticket? All questions and speculation. No hard evidence yet. Lt. Cole said to the inmate she could borrow a TV “for a while”. That could be 30 seconds to 30 days.
It’s our opinion, and ONLY an opinion, that this could be a trap. Stay tuned.
*UPDATE: On elderly lady’s “lost” TV* 2-13-23 Lt. Sanders found the TV that was sent to Lumley for some unknown reason. One week later, lady and TV were reunited.
