Infrastructure Nightmares
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.
Lumley–Living the Nightmare!
(From our inmate star reporter, A yard, Lumley Unit.–Ed.)
The draconian rules change every day and with each officer….nothing is consistent or follows the so-called schedule. For instance, A-yard rec was supposed to be from 6 am to 9 am. Oops! Did they forget about 7 am breakfast? (Sunday). How about a 7 am ice call? Officers didn’t escort the inmates to their main yard kennel until 7:30 am. Eat or rec? Then the guards hurry to make sure the girls don’t use the phone or (gasp) shower, so they herd them back to their cells. Then they let us out briefly only to slam the doors on us again for SMI pill call. There was a rare program, a book club, that was supposed to start at 9 am. Not going to happen on time, in fact, the guards didn’t know what to do. Every guard had a different answer, but it was always predicated by, I just got here, I have no idea what’s going on.” Do they brief these folks??*

Arizona Dept. of REHABILITATION and RE-ENTRY? What Crap!
What a joke! How does keeping Medium women locked in their cells for most of the day help with “rehabilitation”? How do the DOC clowns live with themselves with such lies in their name? Does raking dirt and rock deliver a better resume’ when they try to get a job on the outside? Or is that their idea of Re Entry?
Parson v Ryan demanded the SMI’s (Severe Mental Illness), got more time out of their cells not less. Women that have lived in Perryville 20–30+ years say it has NEVER been this horrible or restrictive before.
Please call the people that are responsible for getting better treatment for inmates, and let them know what is going on! Prison Law Office, (510) 280-2621. Thank you.
Women’s Rec time cut from 13 hours to 2 and a half
Medium ladies used to get out at 5 am to count at 11 am. Then out from noon to 4 pm count, and out at 5 pm to 8 pm lockdown for the night. On 2-9-21 the DOC put up an elaborate schedule for separate main yard/tier out-of-cell time. Main yard rec means, you go to main yard cage OR stay locked in cell…no phone, no microwave, no shower, no walking. Dog stay. Tier rec means in 60 min. you shower, phone, nuke dinner, find a COIII (if you can), shop, property, visit with your tier mates.
Dog fetch. The rest of the day you are LOCKED DOWN. Dog play dead.
