yard report by SF

 now let's talk ridiculousness of closed custody

washing your clothes is a privlages on other units they having washing machines, but on other units like ours, you have to wash your own clothes, recently they went around and threatened everyone with tickets ( only on our yard, of course). and said we have to send out, so women who have female issues, periods, are expected to put bloody underwear, PJs in a bag for a week and then send out with bedding and anything else, mixed with other inmates stuff. " seriously". and everything gets stolen that you send out

1) that you paid for
2) in sanitary
3*** this is important, No State Issue! has not been for years, death row used to do fundraising for bra and underwear for indigent inmates.

they never provide us with clothes, bras, socks, shoes, underwear. " fact". go back on my yard reports.

showers, sometimes we get them sometimes we don't, and never after rec, so we all bath in our room " have to". which leads to being exposed to male officers.

100° in our room for 75+ days, refused to service our coolers! did not care.
did not follow own policy of providing cold water or leave doors a crack opened for some air flow, and many inmates had health issues due to extreme heat conditions.

no access to servises or admin if on closed. ". took me one year to get a # changed"!! a year!

can't get a new mattress, they put a microwave on our yard for phase 3 but we have zero access, they change rules daily, never post anything, you find out by rule changes by getting a dicaplinary ticket,

example

1) pill call is on our yard, and for years you walk out get your meds lock back down, now mind you we are a outdoor facility, so our doors open to outside, and pill call is outside ( the nurse is in a air conditioned room)

so this summer in our record breaking extreme heat, they decide everyone has to be in fuel compliance. which means pants. (125°} on yard " cement"
instead of shorts, and stand in line in this heat, with no cool down even in your room,

so how did we learn, by getting yelled at, threatened and tickets.


2). education, so there will be no school, and when you know this you don't get up, get ready and go, " duh" well new rule, now even if you have covid, or there is no school you still have to get up and go just to turn around and come back, even if your dying, how did we find out, a tutor received a ticket for not going to a closed for the day class. " surprise"

these examples are daily, they feel it below them to talk to us or inform us and they have verbally stated how much they hate our yard, so get nothing and have nothing coming.
