We are all excited about the passing of bill 112. Now they can’t force injured and sick prisoners to work. Also, no more slave wages of $11 a day. We are also excited to have Tina Kotek as our new governor. She had mentioned wanting the release of 60% of ladies at CCCF. We say it’s about time they did something about all the wrongful convictions, false arrests, and over-sentencing that goes on in the state of Oregon.
The segregation unit at CCCF continues to be an inhumane place for “punishment”. Aren’t they being punished enough already by being separated from their families on the holidays? In here, ladies are subject to the officer’s moods on whether or not they get a shower, eat, or even get toilet paper or clean their cell. Officers have been known to give ladies extra food and privileges that have beat up other ladies in the prison. We say it’s time to do away with segregation in prisons, just as President Biden promised on his campaign for presidency. Please write to him with your letters of support at:
