One of the kitchen coordinators at CCCF makes his own porn videos and has a website where one of the ladies at CCCF had her past of over 10 years ago brought up at her trial to prejudice the jury that she had made porn videos. Now she has CCCF kitchen coordinators trying to force her into slave labor where she makes less than a dollar a day.

Another lady at CCCF had told off a kitchen coordinator and he charged her with almost every charge in the book, including extortion. This is predatory police work, when these kitchen coordinators are not even police. This lady was then taken to the segregation unit in handcuffs.

One correction officer at CCCF says that she decided on her profession to honor her father who passed away, while at the same time she is contributing to isolating other ladies from their families when being punished in segregation. Sometimes this happens even when a lady has not done anything wrong or when a correction officer is trying to cover up a mistake he has made. Some of these isolated ladies are not allowed to use the phone even though they have infant children or parents with terminal illnesses.

Another lady at CCCF fell off the top bunk and is now having to get around on crutches. She has still not been seen by medical for x-rays. This is another example of how our basic human rights are being denied; rights such as (1) the right to protect oneself, (2) the right to communicate or not, (3) the right to be safe from retaliation, (4) the right to reach out for help, (5) the right to live in a safe environment. We have the right to reasonable freedom, to not be labeled, to not be abused, to protect our bodily boundaries and possessions, to speak out against abuse, and to campaign for these rights. CCCF utilizes powerful forms of abuse and has stripped us of almost all of our basic human rights. We are not animals, yet they treat us like we are.

At Washington County Jail, there were two deaths recently. They were not taking proper care of ladies detoxing off of drugs. Also, a lady there who takes seizure medications was not given any for three months. We are grateful she survived, but this facility has had deaths during detox situations before. Why are they not taking proper care of these ladies?
