Shanking at Perryville in Goodyear AZ (women's prison)

Shawna reported to me that there had been a huge increase in violence on the Lumley unit since the mass moving of inmates.  This move was done extremely unprofessionally with no concern whatsoever for the women or their belongings.   This followed with a shanking last week, CSI coming to Lumley to find the shank, which they did, and most important...a young woman was shanked resulting in blood loss and many sutures.  The response time of the staff to get this woman medical care was too long, she might have bled to death.  Perryville needs to better train for such incidents.  The young woman is okay but very sore.  Perryville, when you treat inmates like crap, this type of stuff happens.  

Long detailed yard report to come from Shawna.   

Perryville, if you are reading, and we know you will...I totally understand you are understaffed
