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.
One Flew over the Cuckoo’s Nest
Ah, life in the funny farm. The padded cell. Men in white coats. Butterfly nets. All the old jokes about where the mentally ill are stashed. Arizona stashes them in PRISON!
Yep, dogs in kennels are treated better than these poor unfortunates. In fact, the cages where they are kept look like kennels. Why does America incarcerate the mentally ill? Still, an unanswered question. They apparently get little treatment, they get plenty of shots and pills though. And that was the opinion of a mental health professional hired through the prison. It’s just so sad to watch them…shuffle..eyes vacant..muttering to the air… Someday in 2134, the world will be aghast at what man’s inhumanity to man looked like in Perryville 2020.
Recent Lies
Two articles worth your attention and a reality check from someone on the inside:
2 supervisors are fired 1 charged with assaulting inmate 11-21-20
How virus spread in Tucson prison unit 11-22-20
The LIES.
1) Stop internal movement of inmates, deep clean every week, robust availability of soap, hygiene and cleaning supplies.
2) Anti-retaliation hotlines were activated and have been made available through the inmate phone system at all complex locations. Information is also posted next to inmate phones and on the dial directory on the phone system. Memo #2020 Sept. 24, 2020.
The REALITY,
When an inmate asks about this hotline, the staff gives a puzzled zombie-like answer,*Whaaaa??* They’ve never heard of it in P’ville. Inmates are being moved ALL the time. What paper towels? Lumley unit is notorious for not doing a damn thing about deep cleaning. The girls make do with 2 sawed-off brooms, watered-down cleaner, and 2 toilet brushes. About 50% of the cells have no trash cans!! The place is filthy and the DW does nothing. Media has been alerted to the LIES the prison is telling the public.
Re: The reporter on Lumley
To CYA and be politically correct, we will now no longer let anybody refer to the SMI women as *crazies*. Our position at this website is to dignify the mentally ill, and champion policies that do not harm or exploit them.
