I was incarcerated in this facility and it could be run better by a group of honor students from the local high school. The staff caused me to miss my video arraignment while I had to lay on the staff infected floor for 6 hours before they finally figured out where I was. The results were that I couldn't get before the judge for 3 more weeks. I was arrested on a "no bond" probation violation even though my probation had expired 3 days before my arrest. Therefore I never got to mention it to the judge at my arraignment. I realize it's a correctional facility and isn't supposed to be comfortable. Inmates are still human beings and most are there on non violent drug offenses. Also, If you go in sick ..you better pray to God! He's going to be the only one there to help you. Most unit counselors are useless to get anything done. Ms. Santiago is the only one that filled one of the several requests I had. Other than that I couldn't get socks, clean uniform, bed sheets etc. Basic inmate necessities were largely ignored. I can almost guarantee you that a majority of inmates don't get the daily calories needed to sustain healthy diet. The air conditioners are run full blast even in the winter months leaving the temperature to the point of inhuman torture. I came home with walking phnumonia that I continue to recover from. The only good thing I can say is there was one C.O. (Stone) that was fair yet stern. He showed he could do the job without the job doing him! He still used his authority when necessary but also showed inmates a sense of compassion that left you with the feeling there was hope for the world after all. Luckily for him I hear he was fed up with the unprofessionalism of CCA and left for greener pastures. If the blind leading the dumb did anything for me. It made me look up the hundreds of lawsuits against CCA while reaffirming myself I will never go back willingly!
I had enough of that LuciferianProject!
