Stories Direct from The Inmates
Life in Perryville
From Santa Maria, notes on lockdown
“At least we don’t have to rec in a cage.”
(Maria only has 2 yards. A yard is R and A and MDU—who don’t get outside rec, hence no cages on the main yard. B yard is regular medium inmates..Ed)
“They have a schedule that is only good for 48 hours, then they change it and the guards don’t follow either one!”
“We were given a choice….eat or rec…WHAT?!!* *This is a CLUSTER FU*K!!!!!!”
From Santa Cruz: Notes of Despair
Overheard on 2-10-21.
- ” My roommate has started cutting herself again.”
- “Is this Arizona’s idea of rehabilitation and re-entry????”
- “I feel meaner than a junkyard dog.”
- “D yard has had 3 fistfights over a shower. This yard only has 5 working showers for 197 girls”
- “These idiots have a tier schedule that doesn’t allow for COIII office hours!! How do I see them?!”
- “I work during the day and there is no rec time in the evening…why don’t I get rec!!”
More cruelty from the DOC
Just when you think the inmates can’t take anymore, the DOC delivers more pain.
Because the Florence prison screwed up and let 2 male inmates escape, the DOC is determined to take it out on the girls too. We are waiting for our sources on Maria and Cruz to come in, but we do have a letter smuggled out from Lumley. This is her story.–Ed.
On Tuesday, Feb. 9th Lumley mediums were locked down at 7:15 am without warning, and without breakfast. Feeding pod by pod, it took till 9 am for all to be fed….usually breakfast is from 5 am to 6 am. When we asked what was going on, the guards said, “We don’t know, they didn’t tell us.”
The cell doors were opened again at 1:00 pm (usually noon) and we were told to line up for lunch…..it took until almost 3 pm to finish feeding. No rec time or shower time until 6 pm, and then there was mass confusion about lockdown.
It actually got worse the next day, Wednesday. They didn’t let us out for breakfast till 9 am!!! None of the workers went to their jobs, medical appointments were missed, and the girls were hungry! Meanwhile, on the yard, the “Keystone Cops” led by Barney Fife were milling around with their thumb up their ass. We could hear the guards wondering what to do, and complaining about the lack of leadership. Finally at 9:35 am we lined up for chow and didn’t come back till 10:30 am.
It got worse. We were told that we’d only get 1 and a 1/2 hours out of our cell ALL DAY! What? Since when are we in Closed Custody??? And we’re to be ESCORTED everywhere? We didn’t get out for lunch until 3:15 pm! wtf.
Channel 3 TV reported that the cause of the men’s escape was that only a fraction of guards were there….they are short-staffed. Why punish the girls???? Our families are calling Central Office, the warden, and the deputy warden about this.*
Karma’s a Bitch
(Update on 71 year old abuse victim--see prior story) "After I was strangled by that young woman, I was put in a cell by myself. It gave me time to decompress and recover. I then started to worry about what kind of inmate they would put in my cell. The evil person...
BREAKING–INMATE DIES ON LUMLEY
January 1, 2021, approximately 8:30 am women on A yard were locked down amid a flurry of staff activity. Shortly, an ambulance and firetruck were parked outside A yard. The inmates watching outside their windows knew it was bad news when the paramedics slowly left the...
Perryville’s Dirty Little Secret–ELDER ABUSE!
Our readers who have been in Perryville know about this shameful fact. There is a large population of 65+ ladies in prison due to Arizona's draconian sentencing laws. Here is a letter we received recently from a 71-year-old at Lumley Unit. "I was initially transferred...
Observations from a Former Inmate
Messages share with us that we have permission to share with you "My friend just informed me that the past 2 days there has been no heat in her cell. It's 36 degrees outside and the metal doors suck any and all heat out of the rooms. the prison refuses to issue extra...
Everything Broke on Lumley?
Our staff has gotten so much mail from this Unit, we have to share what the inmates are alleging in their own words. "Everything is broken on Lumley! No one can access WiFi, we run around like chickens looking for a hotspot. We can't even open our tablets without it....
Lumley, the ass end of Peeville
I'm starting the HALL OF SHAME for guards who refuse to wear masks here. L. Garcia, lets start with you. This guard went his entire shift with no mask! There will be more. Today started with my morning jog as usual. I'm as deaf as a post, but I could hear a loud...
More medical nightmares
Dateline Cruz: I was diagnosed with back injury and anklosing spondilitis. I resisted the spinal shots they wanted to give me, but I was in 24 hour unrelenting pain. The first shot went ok but did not give me pain relief. The 2nd almost killed me. When the doctor put...
Access to the Court denied
(From lady on Lumley) I have been denied full access to the Court of Appeals because of, I believe, being indigent, filing grievances and being housed on closed custody. I have legal copies of DOC logged mail to/from courts. They delayed legal mail two months because...
Diary of Lumley continues
11-10-20 I guess this is a normal morning here. In the local A yard crazy ward we were locked down because one of them decided to run around naked. That caused a stir. Then the DOCs idea of painting the interior of the cells cracked me up. An army of inmates came in...
Assaults on officers and inmates on Lumley
Our new resident of Lumley is very prolific with her stories. Gee what a fight fest on this unit! Most of the attacks are from the SMI people (Severely Mentally Ill), and this unit has more than their share. From what I understand, there are three places here where...
Welcome to Lumley
In the first 48 hours I was chained, put in a dark paddy wagon, thrown into a filthy cell on B yard, accosted by three closed custody inmates armed with spray bottles of disinfectant, had a blanket stolen, asked for help from guards who just watched, gassed by smoke...
Conclusion of RETALIATION story on Lumley
At the beginning of the diary of the 70-year-old's flight to max custody on Lumley, she thinks it's a computer error. How naïve. You can see her on the first day in '48 hours' explain it away with an AIMS2 mishap. Then it dawns on her that this is an insidious and...
