The temptation is great at CCCF to claim behavioral health issues as they get more privileges like more time out of their cells, being able to watch music videos, and getting a radio. We are not sure but we suspect the young lady with the incident yesterday may have done this. The prison then went behind her back and got a court order to give her injections of medication. They asked her to sign it, but she refused. It is very concerning that they can do this in here. We consider it medical rape. The staff also violated the HIPAA law by telling the young lady’s medical info to other prisoners.
One lady at CCCF has a hernia in her throat, so sometimes she has to go to the bathroom when she’s eating because she has trouble swallowing and even throws up sometimes. She asked an officer if she could go to her room during a meal to use the bathroom and the officer said no. We saw them taking her down the hall in handcuffs. This violates her HIPAA rights as she should not have to disclose her medical records in order to use the bathroom.
