Month: August 2022

Officers here at CCCF are constantly looking up guns and ammo on the units. When it is obvious we are trying to get into our rooms to use the ladies room they don’t let us in. One person even used the rest room in the shower because she could not hold it. Another lady freaked out because they would not let her out of her room and she was punished to more time in her room.

We were making a cake for somebody’s birthday and one lady commented that she wished we had a food processor. The other lady said it was too much of a risk, that the officers would try to put someone’s hand in it.

One lady here has a lump in her breast and it has moved to her lymph nodes. She has been waiting 3 months to receive medical attention.

Even the other officers warn us about a particular officer that goes around looking for reasons to write us up. This is the same woman found in the parking lot giving fellatio to a male officer.

Officers here will cell us in for bringing a tumbler down for milk during meals, but they cannot ever seem to get the actual milk ready for meals which they are responsible for.

We have had almost everything taken away from us at CCCF in the name of “Covid”, but in reality we think it is more like either staff shortages or just plain laziness. Rubicon is gone, which is higher education, craft boxes were all taken away yesterday, and the music program is gone a well. This is especially hard on ladies with life sentences, but everyone suffers and feels like they are being punished for no reason.

The website advertises that CCCF is air conditioned, but we have gone 20 days with no air conditioning in our cells. Many ladies are getting heat sickness.

Under the Prison Litigation Act they are depriving us of liberty to go about our daily prison life and also depriving us of our due process. Several people have been emailing Kate Brown’s office weekly about what is going on, but nothing has been done. We encourage anyone out there to provide this website address to Collet Peters (in charge of prisons) and to Department of Corrections, 2575 Center Street NE, Salem, OR 97309.

Tonight an officer yelled at a lady in front of everyone during dinner. They did not let us out of our cells until hours later. We are tired of being abused and punished all the time for petty things.

FreeSophiaJohnson.com is a website dedicated to the freedom of one of the ladies here. She has experienced much discrimination here along with the rest of us and we want the best for her.

A lady her was given 72 hours in cell for helping another lady move. Another lady got 48 hours because an officer did not believe her when she said she had to breast pump for her baby. These ladies have family members with terminal illnesses and newborn babies and they are not allowed to call there families during these cell-ins.

We have a lady who went into the house she used to live in with her abusive ex-boyfriend to try to get her stuff back. She was charged with robbery and got several years in prison. Another lady’s ex-husband would say he needed to come into the house and get his stuff but when the she told him no the court sided with him. The system is clearly slanted and discriminatory against women and the fact that there is no self-defense law in Oregon only adds to this. We think fair treatment in Oregon requires stopping the practice of siding with abusive men and adding to the abuse of women in prison.

The other night, an officer at CCCF was going around at 3:30 AM waking ladies up and telling them they were improper and then punishing them. We are tired of all the abuse we suffer here.

Today we were all outside enjoying the Sun in the yard. Some of us had rolled up our sleeved so we would not get tan lined. An officer came running outside yelling at all of us like we had done something bad. He even disciplined one lady. We are tired of being treated like we are children.

The one lady here has a knee that keeps giving out. She needs a knee replacement and it keeps on swelling up on her. It hurts her a lot and they are not doing anything to help her.
