Another day at the office
No money arrived in the mail again today.
But, here's what did arrive:
Letter #1
I was denied my food trays in the mental health unit
Inmate F cut his wrist due to mental illness
Inmate L cut himself, too
Inmate A was covered in his own feces for more than 2 weeks
because we're talking there is retaliation
Letter #2
The staff members in this mental health unit are not trained to handle the mentally ill
they tie them down
put them in restraints
allow them to mutilate themselves enough to cause death or serious harm
Letter #3
I am fully aware that I can expect retaliation from a place that
confines a mentally ill person longer in segregation
denies vital medication
writes arbitrary and capricious misconduct tickets
ties a person down on the bed for a duration of time.
The reporter in me says that all of this may not be true.
The prisoners whom we know, and who dare to speak confidentially, say, "Don't be so sure!"
It's another day in the office of HFP, and we need YOU!
May God be near all prisoners in units housing the mentally ill, and touch all of those helping to care for them.
