In this prison timers are being installed on the plumbing of the toilets. With these timers we're allowed to flush the toilet in our cells three times an hour. With two people living in a cell, three flushes every hour is unsanitary. The pigs on the neighbor facility (C-Yard) all ready finished installing the timers C-Yard is allowed to flush their toilets two times every half hour. The reason these timers are being installed is because the state is saying the prison is using too much water and so the prison is being fined one thousand $ every day.
So far in D-facility our captors have installed these timers in one building, they need seven more to go. In this facility the timers are set for three flushes every hour. Everyone here feels this is unacceptable. Well, every one in D-facility protested by covering the widow of our cell door a minute before four o-clock count. Our captors were surprised that every race was involved in this mass protest. The pigs didn't like that every race here was involved against them. The pigs prefer one race warring against another race.
After our captors had a meeting with the spoke persyn of every race our captors agreed to install the timers to two flushes every half-hour like our neighbor facility has them. After we were told of this agreement by our spokepersyn we all uncovered the windows of our cell doors so the pigs could finish their count.
The next day our captors placed the spoke persyn that participated in the meeting in ad-seg (the hole) and all of us here on D-facility are going to spend a month or more on punishment lockdown in our cells 24-7 for delaying their count and for mass protesting. The protest happened a week and a half ago and there is still more punishment coming. Our cells got a shake down by these pigs.
On our write-up hearing we will all be found guilty (I've enclosed a copy of the write up) and I'm pretty sure we will be sentenced to loss of privileges - no canteen and no quarterly packages.
Our captors figured that if our spoke persyns could have every one on D-facility participate in this mass protest these spokespersyns are a threat to them. These pigs fear unity amongst every race and our leaders are always a target of repression. Our captors prefer our revolutionary leaders in ad-seg or in the SHU.
