One lady that works in the kitchen was strip-searched while handcuffed to the wall for no reason. This is intimidation and harassment. She was also made fun of by the officers at CCCF and interrogated.
The men’s prisons has an early release option which the women’s prison does not. This once again goes to show that the state of Oregon discriminates against women. Their men’s prison also has an automotive program and a lawyer program where prisoners can study to become a lawyer and also practice law from prison. There is no reason why the ladies can’t have these privileges as well. The discrimination in Oregon needs to stop, and so does the excessive force and violence, the intimidation, and the unnecessary harassment of prisoners.
It was in national news that an officer at CCCF was having sex with a bunch of female prisoners at CCCF. It’s the prison’s job to keep prisoners safe and it seems like they are more concerned with unnecessary punishment, harassment, and intimidation. One lady was beaten up by someone she didn’t even know and they failed to keep her safe. Another lady broke her arm falling in her room.
