Medical is terrible. if you don’t make staff do their jobs, they’ll just neglect you. The sick call system is designed so that you won’t go up there. They make you wait hoursl to be seen for less than a minute.
The other thing about this place, and other prisons too, is that it has replaced bed pillows with “mattresses” that are 2 inches higher at the top. They call that a built-in pillow. It’s pathetic. So, we make pillows by ripping up mattresses and stuffing the filling into sheets cut into pillow cases. But some c/os will take them. In the SHU, the mattresses are like yoga mats. But you cant really make pillows back there, so you gotta sleep on your arms.
