Many of us here have not been able to talk to our friends and family on the phones because they are trying to register the phone numbers of all the people we call. This entails putting a credit card on file and a valid ID that matches the phone number. These are requirements that not all of our friends and family can meet since some of them are children and others are elderly and not very tech savvy. They are, thankfully, giving u two more months to sort things out and we are just praying that we can get them registered.

Another lady here fell off the ladder getting down from her bed. We also had the power go out today. They made us go into our dark cells. They also sent all the kitchen workers home. Not a good sign …. There is no ventilation in the cells and they are refusing to give us our medications.

They have no respect at CCCF for our personal property. An officer took $30 worth of canteen from a lady. She was called in for 72 hours for asking another lady to help her carry the items.
The officers here said ladies were causing a riot on Sunday. It was only a few ladies refusing to cell in because they had not been getting much time out of their cells. We saw them all lined up against the wall yesterday saying there would be a shakedown.

Another lady here has been falsely convicted and the State is not investigating 2 other similar crimes that might be connected and prove her innocence. It has been 5 months since those other crimes were committed and she has been at CCCF for a year. The perpetrators were out on bail for other attempted murders and both had extensive criminal records. She had no criminal history was not even offered bail even though her parents had terminal illnesses and she was responsible for taking care of them.

During his Presidential Campaign President Biden said he would do away with segregation (isolation) in prisons. At CCCF we had a lady commit suicide during isolation because the COs were stacking disciplinary reports on her. There is a non-profit organization called A Little Piece of Light that is dedicated to doing away with segregation in prisons. Those who have been there report psychotic breakdowns even though they are very mentally healthy otherwise. We have a lady in here who has been in segregation for months upon months and we don’t know her present condition. Punishing people like that won’t work because they cannot help the way they are. Putting her in segregation for long periods of time won’t make her better, but it may make her worse.

Two ladies here got punished because the people in the cell before them taped a razor blade under the toilet. We are constantly subjected to negative reinforcement and we are tired of it.
