Hello Readers. I want the public to understand how this harsh environment works.
Today we again find the prisoner population at the Illinois River C.C. locked down 24/7. The prisoner is being denied all rights and privileges due to a nurse coming to work sick.
No showers, no laundry service, no food from commissary.
No way to call or contact family.
Again the administration thinks that punishing the prisoner population with isolation lockdown is the answer to this covid 19 problem. But the prisoner population has done nothing wrong. The only source of relief from this harsh condition of confinement is the prisoners’ right to shop at the commissary. To get the supplies to write his or her family. To get soap and deodorant. To get food to keep from being hungry. To find a little relief from extreme punishment. In having the things one needs to face this punishment of lockdown in a cell.
But the administration believes it can punish the prisoner population by denying access to commissary. By serving trays of food so small it would not feed a kid. To deny basic hygiene of a shower and laundry service.
The prisoner has not violated any rule. Nor has the prisoner done anything to cause the virus problem.
The staff can bring food trays to the cell three times a day. So they can bring the commissary to the cell. Commissary is the only relief the prisoner has. To punish the prisoner by denying him the basic things needed to survive only create ill feelings toward staff.
At day 150 of the commissary restriction in place it has the prisoner body fed up.
Not a good thing to punish the prisoner for a medical problem they did not create. To leave them hungry and dirty in a cell 24/7. So I ask why the administration is trying to cause problems? Why are we being placed in isolation with no supplies given? At day 150 it is a deliberate decision.
What do you think will result in this type of treatment of the prisoner?
