Month: March 2022

There is one lady at CCCF with carpal tunnel and arthritis that needs surgery and she’s being forced to work in the kitchen even though she is in a lot of pain. Forcing people to work when they are in pain is criminal negligence.

There is another lady at CCCF that tripped over a rug and fell on her knee. She has a huge bruise and it’s very painful. She was not seen by medical.

Another lady had an ingrown hair and medical at CCCF gave her medicine for a yeast infection. She came to us in tears. We were able to find her some antibacterial soap to make a heat compress.

Many ladies in Oregon did not get fair trials. In one instance, the DA broke into a lady’s lawyer’s office without a warrant to obtain her records. They decided not to use evidence that proved facts in her case. Prejudicing the jury is a common practice in the state of Oregon as well as using hearsay. With one lady, they said she was a drug addict, but all of the medications she had were prescribed by a doctor. They also said she was a gambling addict, but there was no evidence or witnesses to prove it. The judge allowed this hearsay to be used in her trial. He also allowed the DA to make fun of her because of the abuse she suffered from her ex husband.

In another instance, the judge allowed a lady’s vehicle to be taken from her without a warrant. Pictures were taken and the DA told the jury she was homeless because she had a lot of things inside it.The DA also brought up her involvement in the adult entertainment industry more than 10 years prior to her trial that was irrelevant to her case to further prejudice the jury. The DA also took statements from a disgruntled ex boyfriend.

With one lady, they said she had taken her ex husband’s wallet from him after he was deceased but in all actuality, it was the medical examiner. With another lady, they said she was trying to rob the deceased because he had a lot of cash on him, but there was no cash missing from his person and the lady wasn’t even found on the scene. The officers supposedly preserving the scene had taken the case from the deceased’s wallet, separated it into two piles, and then took photos of it. We can only conclude that they were trying to make the scene look like a robbery. The lady had three different robbery charges on her discovery, but when she wouldn’t take the deal they were trying to coerce her with at her sentencing hearing, the robbery charges magically disappeared from her list of charges along with a first degree murder charge. The officers on the scene of the crime also tampered with the body, They moved it around trying to find the weapon. No weapon was produced and the lady was charged with unlawful use of a firearm along with second degree murder by the jury even though she was not even found at the scene of the crime.

Several ladies were brought into their trials shackled in plain view of the jury. One lady was too weak to walk in shackles, so they brought her into the courtroom in a wheelchair in front of the jury.

We’ve mentioned before the humiliation of having to wear men’s clothing at CCCF but there’s more to add to the abuse. When we first check in here, they do not issue any small sizes in clothing but for those of us who are really small, the clothes just look sloppy on us. Also if they are trying to keep us from wearing tight clothing to deter us from sexual predators, then they need to take another look at the staff they hire here. We’ve already had two sexual assault cases that we know of and to a real sexual predator, tight clothing is not going to matter. If we are wearing clothing that is several sizes too big, the predator can just slip a hand into the sleeve of a lady’s t-shirt or up the leg of shorts that are several sizes too big. There are two reasons men find it sexy when women wear men’s clothing and it’s not because it looks good on her. One is that it’s easy access, and two is that it places ownership on her.

Also at CCCF, when they call for medication they open all the doors, which would insinuate that we all need to be medicated. Medication is just another form of control here, especially if the lady doesn’t actually need them. There are no deep trauma councilors here and most mental illness is caused by deep trauma. Medication is just a band-aid type of temporary fix and is not getting to the root of the lady’s problems.

There is an old lady here at CCCF that got her cell searched and they took the sugar packets from her that she had saved up from meals. They were the only thing she had in her room besides a bible and she was given a disciplinary report for these. We hears an officers raising his voice to her last night around midnight. Another lady told him to leave her alone, she’s just an old lady. He responded that he didn’t care about her.

They are extremely wasteful at this prison and every days we see them throw away tons of food in the kitchen, They dump gallons of milk down the drain, but a lady that works in the infirmary says the milk is always curdled there.

Another young lady was locked down for 24 hours for having night terrors, which are kind of like having bad dreams but worse. Being punished really doesn’t seem like a good way to treat a person with night terrors. It’s not like they choose to have them. Punishment seems to be the answer to almost everything to these officers.

One lady just asked if anything happened to her would it even matter to anyone? This lady also has visible scars on her arms from cutting. We do our best here to make sure everyone feels important within a system that seems to pride itself in tearing people down. Contrary to popular belief, we are not in a P.O.W. camp. We are in the United States of America and we still have rights.

Once lady was telling another that she had served her country in the military and risked her life to get a college educations just so she could be bossed around by kitchen coordinators with G.E.D. education levels and that seemed to enjoy misuse of power. In fact, one of the kitchen rules is no yelling, as they need to be able to tell if there is a fight going on. Well, in the past month, there has never been a fight but there has been at least five slip & fall accidents and if someone is hurt, they would need to yell for help.

Another rule is to not touch the giant dishwasher in the dish room, as it’s a $30,000 piece of equipment. Well, one day a coordinator came into the dish room and removed a piece from the giant dish machine, then walked away and forgot about it. Hours later, it was a prisoner that put the machine back together and the coordinator never showed up.

We had a lady slip and fall on March 18th, 21st, and 22nd. They never documented them in her medical record. The other lady that slipped and fell and hurt her mouth and lip was told they don’t document injuries in the kitchen unless they are serious. Both ladies were never taken to to medical to be x-rayed.

We had an old lady here that slipped and fell in the parking lot of the Oregon State Police department and officers asked if she was OK. She said yes, and continued walking. Now she’s in a wheelchair because she never got treated for a broken hip.

There is a lady at CCCF that had a baby with ta man that turned out to be abusive. She broke up with him, but gave his new girlfriend a ride to a hotel so she could see her child. The new girlfriend said she didn’t have a wallet with her so the lady checked her here into a room, as she though it was for her ex boyfriend. It turned out he was pimping the new girlfriend and she was only 16, so the lady got charged with promoting prostitution, even though she didn’t know what was going on. She also had to register as a sex offender and the abusive ex boyfriend was free to go and pimp other young girls. She was sentenced to 5 years in prison for her ex boyfriend’s crime.

We have a lady here in CCCF that was sexually harassed in Washington County Jail. She says she thought the deputy was going to let her out, so she took her clothes off. He asked her to do it in her cell where the cameras couldn’t see. She said every time he walked by her cell she would dance in her underwear. She never reported him, but he was still fired for doing the same thing to another lady. She can’t work in the kitchen at CCCF because she has a history of self-harm. When she can’t find anything to cut herself with, she pulls her eyelashes out. We are hopeful she’s no longer being sexually harassed in CCCF. Sexual harassment damages a woman’s self-worth and self-respect. We are working with her to try and make sure she finds those important things again. She has decided to leave behind the relationships she had that over-sexualized her and wants to find someone that loves her beyond biology and doesn’t objectify her.

We have another lady here at CCCF that got a disciplinary report for pushing a handicapped lady in a wheelchair. Another lady got a DR as well for sleeping under her bed. The DR said “unauthorized area” because she was out of view. If she was out of view, then how did they see her in the first place? At this point, these disciplinary reports just seem like harassment. It’s not an officer’s job description to harass prisoners and those that feel it is, need to reconsider why they chose the job in the first place.

One lady is being forced to work in the kitchen at CCCF with rheumatoid arthritis and is in a lot of pain. There is a healthy lady whose feet hurt so bad from working, she tried to get in trouble just so she could rest. We had a lady with an artificial back and plates in her face who fell twice while working in the dish room. She said she didn’t want to work there anymore and we saw her being escorted out of the kitchen in handcuffs.

Ladies that self-harm here at CCCF get rewarded by the prison when they don’t do it for certain periods of time. This seems like more encouragement to self-harm because they get things like more time out of their cells and they they get to watch music videos. The ladies that don’t self-harm don’t get these privileges.

One lady at CCCF says that it’s discrimination against her as a minority that they gave her a disciplinary report. She says she really wanted to get into the firefighter’s program and they gave her the report so they could take her level away from her. At CCCF, when a prisoner gets to a higher level, they get more privileges like being hired for better jobs, getting a craft box, and being able to get acrylic nails from cosmetology. This is the same lady that was arrested for using a plastic mug to make coffee and we believe the whole reason she is here is discrimination. She doesn’t even have enough money on her books to purchase stamped envelopes for her legal mail.

One lady here at CCCF had $400 taken out of her account for restitution when she was never given any restitution for her case.

There is a lady in Washington County Jail that was promised 24 months at CCCF and once she got there, she found out they had tacked on an extra 18 months that was never agreed upon. When she was arrested, she was an arms length away from the officer and he pushed her into a pole where she fractured her hand. The doctor gave her a brace to wear, but when she got to Washington County Jail, they took it away from her and she had to go around with a fractured hand.

One lady at CCCF is being forced to work in the kitchen with two broken fingers. She works in the dish room which requires a lot of heavy work with the hands. Ladies who work there often end up with bruises on their arms and hands.

A lady in Washington County Jail was smoking a marijuana pipe when an officer came up to her and asked if she smoked anything else besides marijuana. She said no. Then he asked her if she ever did anything else besides smoking a pipe. She said no and walked away. This lady also said that there was a prostitution ring being run out of Washington County Jail.

There is one woman here at CCCF that keeps getting woken up by officers at night between 2 and 4 am. Her feet get itchy from working in the kitchen and they look into her window and laugh at her. March 18th at 2:15am, she saw a short Mexican male officer looking in her window and snickering about her scratching her feet. This is an infringement of her privacy and should not be happening.

There is another lady at CCCF that was blamed for crimes her ex-boyfriend did to one of her family members. Her family has proof that the D.A. in her case took a bribe from her ex-boyfriend so he was allowed to walk free and is now at large to do more crimes against the elderly.

Another lady at CCCF hurt her back working as an orderly at Lynn County Jail and she has not been treated for those injuries. She has three bulging disks and has been forced to work in the kitchen.

Another lady at CCCF had a cell search and the officer destroyed her altar that she had made. The officer also ripped up some poetry that she had written. When she asked the officer why, the officer replied “nothing is sacred here and anything else belongs to me”. This is a direct violation of her religious freedoms and should not be happening.

We continue to see ladies here at CCCF with not only lots of scars on their arms and legs from cutting, but also fresh cuts. One scar looked so deep and long it went nearly around her forearm and looked like there must have been more than 15 stitches. There is obviously something very wrong here and it’s hard to watch so many people suffering so much. The behavioral health counselors have even taken to doing video calls with prisoners instead of meeting with them in person. One of the ladies who attempted suicide last week was out for quite awhile and they had to use a defibrillator to revive her. We are glad she survived but fear she may be suffering from neurological damage, as when she was transported out of the unit, she was having some upper body twitching. If these are the effects of long term incarceration, then we think America needs to take a serious look at the whole system before we lose more lives. We are grateful Oregon has done away with the death penalty, but to watch our fellow prisoners suffer so much in a way can be considered worse than the death penalty itself.

One lady in Washington County Jail had the SWAT team come to her house with an armored human transport vehicle when she wasn’t home . They plowed down two fences on her property that were holding livestock. Upon viewing the scene of the crime they said it was self defense, but when they realized she was going through a divorce, they changed the accusations. Her in-laws were trying to sue her and when she was found guilty, they used her conviction as grounds to sue her. She had no criminal history before this.

At CCCF, we had three different suicide attempts in one day. The roommate of one of the ladies was placed in isolation to be sure she didn’t have anything to do with it. They also took all of her things away from her including her radio.

Here in the kitchen, they won’t allow radios in the dish room because they say we will fight over what station to put it on. One lady was trying to learn something from a coordinator, but she refused to finish teaching her because she interrupted the coordinator by accident.

At Washington County Jail, when the forest fires during the summer of 2021 burned out of control, those of us in the jail had very poor air quality and we could smell it all the time, even in our cells. After awhile, we were coughing because of it as well. The yard was closed and we couldn’t go outside for over a month.

Now at CCCF, there is a farm next door to us that constantly burns what looks like brush fires. The smoke blows over to us and we can smell it in our cells as well. We are grateful it is not as bad as it was in Washington County Jail, but again health and safety is just not a concern for us as prisoners here.

Some of us are college-educated, yet we are still forced to work in the dish pit in the kitchen scrubbing pots and pans all day. The requirement here is to work for 6 months in the kitchen before moving onto another job, but apparently the kitchen staff has a hard time releasing people from kitchen duty. The majority of kitchen coordinators only have a GED education level.

One lady that works in the kitchen has a staph infection in her shoulder and it’s very painful for her to do all of the lifting and scrubbing. Her shoulder had been dislocated and she needs surgery. When she showed us, it was red and inflamed. The medical staff knows about this and they still force her to work.

Another lady working in the kitchen has an artificial back and plates in her face. Another one has severe spinal injuries and is one point away from having osteoporosis. There are not very many jobs these ladies can do that don’t require hard physical labor and yet the coordinators let the healthy young ladies have jobs as cooks, which are a lot less difficult. When ladies are done with work at night in the dish pit, we see many of them limping and hobbling. It is also the lowest paying job in the kitchen.

We have a lady at CCCF that slipped and fell in the kitchen on March 15th at 2:45 pm. She hit her mouth on a bucket and it gave her a bloody lip and a bruise on her chin. She got turned down by medical three times. They never documented it or treated her.

Another lady that works in the kitchen had a tooth pulled. It wasn’t just pulled though. It was flush with her gums so the dentist had to dig for it and then suture it back up. They never gave her any days off to heal and she was in a lot of pain and still trying to work.

Every night when leaving the kitchen, the coordinators spend a lot of time searching all the ladies before they can leave, but when a new lady comes in to work they don’t take any time to make sure she has the right shoes that don’t slip, ask if they have any major medical conditions, or even make sure she has the right tools to do her job. There is no workman’s comp here and safety is just not a concern for the kitchen coordinators and often the medical staff as well.

At Washington County Jail, one pregnant lady was told her due date was a month earlier than the actual due date and she had to have a c-section. The baby’s lungs ended up collapsing and he had to be on a breathing machine for two weeks.

At CCCF, ladies working in the kitchen are paid about half as much as the men are at the men’s prison. There are also more work programs available to the men, like the automotive program and a program where the men can become lawyers and actually practice from their prison. We think the ladies should have the same opportunities as the men.

Also at CCCF, one lady was reprimanded for helping a disabled lady in her wheel chair to get her food. Many disabled ladies are released from prison with nowhere to go and nobody to help them. We hope we are able to find this lady help for when she is released.

We have another lady who is here at CCCF who is an immigrant that used a plastic cup to make a cup of coffee and was sentenced to ten years in prison. This, as well as the other incident I mentioned in an earlier message about a lady being threatened by the system for not having her green card and DHS allowing her to commit suicide while in State custody, leads me to believe that the State of Oregon not only discriminates against women but they also discriminate against immigrants.

In Washington County Jail there was a lady who was placed in a segregation unit as punishment because she did not speak English. She was also placed in a shower stall nude for over two hours more than once.

There is another sexual assault victim who came forward at Washington County Jail and also one of the other victims is extremely depressed and hasn’t received medical attention here at CCCF. She has not received any counseling or medication and at Washington County Jail I watched her having an extreme panic attack where she hit her head against the floor and she was not she was not treated there for the concussion. She awoke in isolation (punishment) with a lot of blood and distorted vision.

Often during trials, a person’s prior convictions are used as a substitute for evidence. But in Washington County several ladies with clean records and have never been in trouble with the Law ended up being convicted up with only circumstantial evidence on murder charges and receive life sentences. One lady, before conviction, was brought into a full courtroom wearing shackles in a wheelchair because she had not eaten in two months due to all the threats and punishments she receive from deputies at the Jail and her public defenders.. They originally tried to make her walk in shackles, but she could not walk fast enough to please them. She was given a sentencing hearing with a judge from another County (they never told from which County) and he tried to coerce her to make a deal and to plead guilty to a crime she did not commit. During her trial in Washington County the judge allowed the State to seize a vehicle they had seized without a warrant, even though her family is in desperate need of a vehicle, since her parents are terminally ill.

Another lady here had evidence stolen from her case by the DA. This lady also had been sexually abused and assaulted at Washington County Jail but she was not treated for painful injuries while she awaited trial there for two years. Both of these ladies had been placed in isolation units before trials and they had no criminal history. In more than three instances ladies we not given credit for time served at Washington County Jail when later sentenced to CCCF.

In Washington County Jail, we had a lady that was dealing with a lot of pain because of spinal and shoulder injuries that were not being treated. She mentioned that the medical staff was bullying when she was trying to get her medication.She said she would literally shake with fear when waiting in line. At one time, a member of the medical staff was asking her how bad it hurt and she responded by using a swear word for emphasis. The medical staff person at that point told a deputy and was trying to get them to punish her. We have watched this lady’s health deteriorate exponentially since she’s been moved to CCCF. Her crime was committed in self-defense after many years of abuse from her ex-husband. The doctor here at CCCF gaslights her and she’s still not being treated. She is forced to work in the kitchen, which is very hard physical labor with very minimal pay. Most healthy ladies complain of back pain after working there. We also have a lady with kidney failure that is being forced to work in the kitchen. There is another lady here that wants to volunteer but staff told her that due to the number of bullying incidents she’s had from other prisoners, the kitchen might not be a good place for her.

Jails and prisons are “super spreaders” of Covid and here at CCCF we have had many cases. Studies show that jails and prisons also create more cases outside of facilities and that in rural areas where there is a jail or prison, Covid cases surge. Because CCCF has been punishing people that test positive, many cases are not reported. They brought Covid-positive members of the men’s prison here knowing that we didn’t have any current cases, Their healthcare staff was caring for them without protective gear. We were not given proper masks until the Covid surge was almost over. We have written to several lawyers about this only to receive a reply that our cases do not have merit. We say the whole prison was exposed to Covid due to unsafe practices from the staff. We will keep writing until we get proper representation. All the while our family and friends continue to be hospitalized from Covid. Mass incarceration isn’t doing anything but creating a problem here.

They keep raising the prices of commissary but we still keep making the same slave wages for work we are forced to do. One lady had a friend try to send her stamps and envelopes but the prison sent it back. One stamped envelope here costs close to a dollar, where on the outside it is much cheaper. If a lady is working in the kitchen here, she makes under $30 a month. You do the math! When they raise prices even a little bit, it affects us greatly. Not to mention developing back problems that they refuse to treat and then gaslight us for. It is a narcissistic system that cares more about making money than having compassion for individuals.

A lot of ladies have their children or elderly parents taken away when they are incarcerated. There are many cases of abuse and neglect in the foster care system. It is sheer torture for these ladies not knowing where their children go.

Many ladies at CCCF have turned in proposals for automotive repair, lawyer, and computer programming schooling/training programs but these still have not been created. The men’s prison has automotive repair and a lawyer program and we think we are being discriminated against. The Oregonian has recently printed an article saying that the the state’s legal system doesn’t have enough public defenders and we continue to see an influx of ladies here with false charges and improper legal representation. We refuse to continues to be set up for failure as we have been.

https://www.bendbulletin.com/opinion/editorial-oregons-public-defenders-continue-to-need-help/article_490e5e16-90e7-11ec-b760-b399688ac0e0.html

We have a young lady here in CCCF that’s has been raped since the age of 8 by her stepfather. He’s also physically abusing her mother and the rest of the family including a younger sister who’s a minor. That might also be sexual abuse. She gets released from here in a month and doesn’t have money to buy envelopes. When she tries to call home to talk to her mother, her stepfather listens in on the conversation. We are trying to get her her stimulus check so she can have funds to help her family when she gets out.

They told one lady she had to wait a year to get dentures, but in the mean time she has no teeth. She is very limited in what she can eat and a year is a long time to go with no teeth. Another lady had her bridge break during Christmas so there were no dentists here and it was very painful. Her mouth swelled up and she had an abscess. She was not seen for close to three weeks and even then they were not able to fix her bridge.

The phone systems are very hard to figure out here. There is a sheet with directions to follow but it still doesn’t work. We have to ask around on what to do and even then we get conflicting stories. We’ve tried the one that requires a kyte, but those sometimes take weeks to get back. This system is hindering ladies trying to take care of important family matters. When we are seen trying to help each other, we get in trouble.

At Washington County Jail, the deputies cut off a girl’s clothes while she was handcuffed. We also had them cut ladies fingernails while they were cuffed. One they cut down tot he quick and was very painful for that lady. They would also place us in handcuffs to search the cells and they didn’t just search, they tore everything apart and threw things away in the process. Personal books and magazines, stamped envelopes and letters waiting to be sent out would be removed from the rooms. We would see them in intake hovering around very thin individuals, so thin it looked like they hadn’t eaten in weeks. Sometimes there were five to ten deputies around one person while they were being fingerprinted.

Intimidation began right from the start. Almost all of the deputies were very large and heavy-set, wearing all kinds of weapons on their belts and bullet-proof vests. For any kind of disruption, even medical emergencies, they would gather five to ten deputies to intimidate and threaten. One lady was exercising her right to remain silent and one of the deputies told her they were all placing bets to see if they could make her talk. This included lots of threats, intimidation, and harassment. She told her lawyers and legal team about this but they didn’t do anything to help. In the intake, isolation, and medical units, they would put a blanket over the person’s window so they couldn’t see out. This is a characteristic of an abusive relationship or situation – isolating the victims. Abusive relationships are also about control. In jail and prison, they tell you when to eat, when to sleep, when to talk, etc. If you do not comply, you are punished.

One lady was given a sentencing hearing where her legal team and a judge from another county all tried to talk her into admitting to crimes she didn’t do. She was charged with all kinds of different robbery charges and two different murder charges and she had no criminal background. They offered her a deal of manslaughter but she said no because she was not responsible for any of the charges. All of the robbery charges and one of the murder charges just magically disappeared from the list.

Several ladies have taken on charges they didn’t do to save their boyfriends that had extensive criminal histories. That’s what I call love! Those ladies deserve a lot more respect than they are given in the system and we want to make it better for them and everyone else. It’s about time that the deputies and officers were labelled for the common thugs, thieves, and abusers they are. We need to stop the cycle of abuse within the system and put an end to the “revolving door” of the same people going in and out of the jails and prisons.

One lady had a large consulting corporation until she found out her dad and step-mom were terminally ill, so she had to close the company to take care of them. She did some independent contracting on the side because she had to move them into a house as they had been living in a trailer with mold on the ceiling. She ended up having to ask for help from friends to keep up her own bills and rent in the process. One person she thought was her friend moved in with her and was “love-bombing” her. If any of you are familiar with the cycle of a narcissist, it starts with love-bombing, which means he tries to convince her he loves her by doing lots of nice things; giving her gifts and generally “wearing a mask” to conceal the fact that he has ulterior motives. Once he had her under his control, he then starts with the abuse phase. When she finally realizes she’s had enough of the abuse, he will then proceed to blackmail, slander, gaslight (blaming her for all her problems) and create a smear campaign against family and friends. This lady had lost her apartment in the process of a smear campaign against family and friends, along with the respect of many of her friends and family. She had also lost the respect of the community as she found herself arrested one day for many crimes she did not commit. She has been incarcerated for over two years now and her parents moved into their house the days she was arrested. She has been relying on the kindness of her friends to keep her parents in their house while she fights the case. She found herself among many women who have been through similar situations and started trying to help them as she realized they were all not only victims of the system, but in many cases also the victims of an abusive man or narcissist.

One lady spent 20 years married to a narcissist and she is now in prison for five years, taking the blame for his crimes. She had her kids taken away from her by the state and while under their custody, her daughter had committed suicide, as she had also been sexually abused by the narcissist. He ended up committing suicide as well rather than face facing jail or prison time as a child molester. This lady makes very small wages for her job at the prison and she can barely afford to buy herself coffee. She is also going to school for her GED so she can get a green card. This is something the the narcissist and the legal system had used to blackmail her into admitting to crimes she didn’t do. This lady has been through extraordinary injustices and deserves more respect than what she has been given by the system and her remaining family members.

These ladies might have been able to identify abusers better had they had more education and understanding of narcissists and the red flags to spot one through the “mask” they wear, but there is often no indication. If the lady is in a vulnerable situation, that is a magnet for a narcissist and he will exploit that. He creates a “fog” through love bombing and trying to rush things and create an illusion that he is the one that can be trusted.

Often ladies are afraid to leave their abuser because they don’t want to lose their possessions, children, and/or pets. It would be so amazing if we had a safe place for the young lady in here’s mother and younger sister to go to so they don’t have to be split up as a family. The young girl has been through enough abuse and being separated from her mother would just add to it. Also, according to the other case we’ve mentioned, the state doesn’t do much to protect the children anyway. This particular young lady gets out of prison in a month and was working three jobs before she was arrested. She really wants to get out to support her mother and younger sister. We are still working to get her tax returns sent in so she has her stimulus check when she is released.

At CCCF, a lady was very sick (not sure if it was Covid) and staff threatened her with punishment if she didn’t get out of bed and go to medical. We are grateful she is better now.
