Yard report by SF

 

Yard Report. 8-14-20 We have all been tested now by nasal swab and each yard is on quarantine for the next 10 to 14 days, until test results return, then that should be interesting and horrific, due to not knowing what DOCRR will plan for us, but it will not be good, nothing good happens here. at every point there is time, and nothing else but brutal time. This becomes your normal day. You don't know who is going to open your door and everything feels like a attack against you, not knowing when, just that it will happen and that tomorrow might be worse. You stop thinking about release or seeing your family again. Your past life becomes a distant memory, like a dream. Your body doesn't belong to you, and there's no energy to talk or fight or to think about the world outside. There is only time and the numbness that comes with accepting that this is now your life. A thing that makes you ache even deeper then your bones, add 115° and very little air circulation is just another layer of neglect. which in some ways is minimal to what so many in the world are experiencing. I comprehend on a deep level the fear many are facing, with fear there is a assumption that what is happening isn't normal, and you cling desperately to the future where it will all be OK again, hopelessness is close to death for many, we all in here worry about you out there, and I pray that each of you find strength and patience with yourselves, and those of you who feel alone and isolated know that I'm here with you in isolation, in spirit, with love and beauty all around us in the smallest of things, all we have to do is look outside ourselves to see it, that can feel like a immense challenge, that I even have to be reminded of myself. "Hope". is the thing with feathers--- That perches in the soul--- And sings the tune without the words--- And never stops---at all--- And sweetest---in the Gale---is heard--- And sore must be the storm--- That could abash the little Bird That kept so many warm--- I've heard it in the chillest land--- And on the strangest Sea--- Yet, never, in Extremity, It asked a crumb---of me.

Yard update by SF

 yard update. 8-6-20

**someone on Lumley rushed to hospital with covid life threatening symptoms today at 11am, they are preparing to lock us all down for testing and to stay on lockdown until results come back.**

over 750. inmates so far in Tucson prison have tested positive.

jodi arias lifetime movie and then followed by a interview with two ex cellmates in a tell "all". airs on Saturday, will be a disrespectful event, they are two attention seeking weak females willing to say whatever to get some fame once again. victimizing the Travis Alexander family. ( let's look at their track record of goodness and honesty). I'm watching so I can know them never know what the future brings in the world of criminals and they may pass this way. we all hope so. and to be clear I do not support what jodi did, but I sure am glad she took Juan Martinez out another corrupt prosecutor.

Az prisons & covid-19

Cases on the rise.  AZ mandates masks be worn outside, but not inside & forces inmates to gather in mass for rec & chow hall.

AZ DOC Perryville stopping the truth via Jpay emails

The truth will always prevail.  Perryville seems to think by retracting emails via Jpay they can prevent many truths from coming out.  Guess what?  That does not work.  There is this thing called the 4th amendment that also applies to inmates.  Onc should ask themselves, why does PV not allow cameras in for interviews?  What do they have to hide. Even Uber strict TX DR allows cameras in.    Why are they preventing certain emails from reaching me?  I expect they would read them, but to confiscate them is unacceptable, and sorry but that effort does not work.  

Due to the difficulties with this blog, we are in the process of looking at other sites that offer blogs.  I will keep people posted so they will be able to find the new blog location.  If anyone has suggestions on a new blog site, please send them!!  Thanks to all that read Shawna's blog...we care close to 70 visits now!!

From: SHAWNA FORDE Date: 3/30/2020 3:39:35 PM To: Rae Gaither Attachments: -YARD REPORT. 3-30-20 AS MANY OF YOU KNOW I'M NOW ABLE TO RECIEVE EMAILS VIA JPAY.COM, SO IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS YOU MAY DIRECT THEM ME OR TO SAY HELLO. AS OF THIS DATE THERE HAS BEEN NO MEASURES TAKEN TO SANITATION OR HANDWASHING STATIONS, WE ARE STILL RECING 96 AT A TIME, SCHOOL IS STILL OPEN, THE ONLY CHANGE IS " NO VISITORS". UNTILL FURTHER NOTICE". AND THAT IS IT, THEY WENT ON NEWS AND TOLD A BUNCH OF LIES. ( AS USUAL) SO IF THE VIRUS OR /WHEN HITS LUMLEY IT WILL SPREAD LIKE WILD FIRE , NO TEST ARE BEING DONE AND THERE ARE PEOPLE IN QUARANTINE BUT NOT TESTED SO (DOCRR ) CAN SAY " NO VIRUS". WE DO HAVE PEOPLE NOW WALKING AROUND COUGHING AND SICK? I have been drawn into the shadows of deep concern for all of you and the tremendous stress you are undertaking during this pandemic, and I find yard stuff to be trivial to go into, I am very much looking for feedback on what you would like to learn about or have me go into about prison life? as someone who has experienced solitary, I have a understanding of how you may feel being forced to stay home and social distancing from everyone with a longing for normalcy, a hug, companionship with a loved one, I understand. this is a time for a deeper connection and if you can get that atmosphere of devotion going, then the spiritual path is fun and exciting, you now may have the time to slow everything down that normally consumes your daily life, the suttle realms of your soul await you. a friend of mine writes me and tells me he needs to vent, because he was at the grocery store and in the check out line with his arms full of groceries when his $20.00 slipped from his hand and the lady in front of him picked it up and he was like " thank you". and she grabs her grocies she just paid for and proceeds to walk out and says to him " what falls to the earth is for he collector to keep". and leaves with his $! he's in shock and so is he guy n front of him they are like WTF! so he puts his groceries down and starts to chase her while dialing 911 because he's thinking someone's going to jail either he is or her , but he is pissed and in no mood, she starts to run for her car to ignore him ( and first sign of intelligence). puts her bags down to open trunk up, and he thinks " teachable moment) and goes into a full on run grabs her bags and heads to his car while yelling " what falls to the earth belongs to the collector". he gets in his car and takes off. we'll. when he gets home he opens the bags and there's 3 packages of ribeye steak and 2 packages of wild salmon and potatoes with bottles of wine. and he starts to laugh WOW not bad for $20.00 Shawna forde

Update to last yard report

Shawna Forde Yard Report

2 updates from Shawna

I received these 2 updates from Shawna via Jpay, i copy/pasted them here, so they are in her words exactly.  She is able to send & receive emails now.  ~Rae


update, Perry ville is getting ready for a massive lockdown we heard up to 40 days, don't know when is starting, and we will not be able to shop after this next week is also what is being said as well as national guards being brought 

another update I forgot you can share, a officer in our kitchen has been on quarantine and we have 5 people here in quarantine /not tested/ but symptoms /no test available/ so its here.

Email & Corona Virus info

SF is enable to send & receive email via Jpay.com now.  She reports to me the prison is ignoring CDC/President Trumps recommendations/orders of no gatherings over 10 people (with over 100 inmates at same rec), & the prison has not handed out any cleaning supplies or disinfectants.  I find this unreal in the midst of a pandemic.  I suppose i will be looking for where to report this starting with the CDC.  There is no visitation however.

SF able to send email via Jpay now

Shawna can now send email via Jpay. It will not allow me to email her back, however. Not sure why, may be some glitch as she was not set up to email at all last nite. Here's the message i got when i tried to reply:
