Prison Pulse Report

They practice collective punishment here. When an individual is caught under the influence of a drug, they shut down our TVs, phones and computers. They also lock us down for retirement parties and anniversaries. In May, they came through and locked us down, then made all of us pack our property in a green bag and whatever didn’t fit was thrown away or we had to mail it out. A lot of people lost lots of stuff.

They shut all the phones but one off Monday through Friday, They come back on from 10:30 to 12:30, than shut back down to one phone again. So, even on the days when some of us are off work, we have to wait a long time to use the phone.

Our commissary is completely out of almost everything. They said they are not able to restock it until Oct. 1 when they get more money.
