They stopped giving us cups to drink water, etc. during meals for a few weeks, and we got a lot less to eat, mostly rice, pasta, potatoes and grits. Too much starch/simple carbohydrates, and no fruit. All that because the dishwasher supposedly broke. The food is the worst I’ve seen in 12 years in the BOP.
Meanwhile, two out of five toilets on my unit are broken, only four showers work, there’s no hot water, all the sinks and sewer pipes leak. We only get outside rec for two hours a day, and two out of four wall phones don’t work in the unit. We have to go to the law library to write emails because of the water leaks. And we can only go to the commissary every two weeks instead of weekly; we also can’t buy as much (three of an item instead of five, which was 10 before we switched to the biweekly BS).
As for mail: My unit manager, case manager and counselor were all pissing and moaning about the BOP when I asked where the FedEx overnight legal letter was that was signed for on May 6, 2025. The unit manager said, “Fuck you Mannino!”, the counselor said, “Get out!” and my case manager said, “I’ve retired!” What do you think my chances of getting it are?
