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.
