We have had almost everything taken away from us at CCCF in the name of “Covid”, but in reality we think it is more like either staff shortages or just plain laziness. Rubicon is gone, which is higher education, craft boxes were all taken away yesterday, and the music program is gone a well. This is especially hard on ladies with life sentences, but everyone suffers and feels like they are being punished for no reason.
The website advertises that CCCF is air conditioned, but we have gone 20 days with no air conditioning in our cells. Many ladies are getting heat sickness.
Under the Prison Litigation Act they are depriving us of liberty to go about our daily prison life and also depriving us of our due process. Several people have been emailing Kate Brown’s office weekly about what is going on, but nothing has been done. We encourage anyone out there to provide this website address to Collet Peters (in charge of prisons) and to Department of Corrections, 2575 Center Street NE, Salem, OR 97309.
Tonight an officer yelled at a lady in front of everyone during dinner. They did not let us out of our cells until hours later. We are tired of being abused and punished all the time for petty things.
