One lady at Washington County Jail had her grandmother’s ring come up missing from her property. The value was over $10,000. Just because ladies are in jail or prison doesn’t mean that staff can steal from them. I had mentioned two others previously that had large amounts stolen from them, not to mention lost wages from ladies who are falsely imprisoned.
A lady from CCCF was beat up by another lady because she was blamed for a crime that she didn’t do and has spent 6 or 7 years already in prison. She is currently having her injuries assessed and filing a no-contact order against the other lady.
They continue to serve us spoiled milk and food. One lady got food poisoning and they placed her in isolation for two weeks. There is no need for her to be isolated for that long from her friends and support network. At that point it can be considered punishment. Being punished for something that is the facility’s fault is wrong.
In Washington County Jail, when ladies were given lice from the facility they were also placed in isolation for over a month. Once lady was forced to sit with the lice shampoo in her hair for two hours when the label said not to leave it in for more than 20 minutes. One lady in the facility said that at that point, the lice shampoo can be considered poison in the system.
One lady had her arm damaged from use of force from officers upon her arrest. She was held at Washington County Jail for two years and her arm was never treated. Her muscles atrophied and the injury turned into something worse because of the jail. She is now at CCCF where her injuries are most likely still not being treated
At CCCF many ladies weren’t reporting that they had contracted Covid because the prison is punishing them for that by placing them in isolation for long periods of time and removing them from their friends and support network. Facilities should not be punishing people for getting sick. There are deaths that can happen with Covid or food poisoning and some people really need medical treatment.
On top of that, we have a lady her at CCCF who never tested positive for Covid but was placed in a Covid isolation unit. She is also considered a high-risk person. Just because people are in prison doesn’t mean they can be treated like animals.
