We’ve been locked down for over 24 hours at CCCF because department of corrections had an Easter egg hunt for their families. We haven’t been able to call our families at all or even friends for the holiday.
A pregnant lady at CCCF had a grand mal seizure because of the medications they put her on. They didn’t even take her to the hospital.
According to the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA), this facility must respond supportively to someone that needs help. The young lady that that was sexually assaulted here did not get help from Oregon Department of Corrections. She had to find her own lawyer to start an investigation. Staff here at CCCF should keep her safe and make sure she gets help, but that never happened. Staff here is supposed to also protect her from retaliation but they didn’t. Instead, they repeatedly punished her and sent her to the isolation unit. This is not OK. Rape should never be a part of the penalty and we feel the staff here should be held accountable. We have the right to be safe here and we have the right to be treated with respect and dignity.
