They did what they call a property reduction three weeks ago because some gang members got into a fight and a couple of people got stabbed and thrown off a tier. We had to pack all our stuff into one laundry bag. Most of us have been in prison so long that we’ve accumulated a lot of stuff. Then they went through all our when we weren’t there and threw everything away that they couldn’t fit in like we did: watches, clothes, shoes and personal items. (So, now we have lost memories of family members who died while being locked up.) I had $437 worth of food, and I only got back maybe $13 worth.
