As for today I am on hunger protest. These pigs have done too much. I have been locked in the "dungeon" or the "hole" aka ad-seg for 158 days on charges I did not even do. And the cold part about this whole ordeal is that the administration (warden, associate warden, captains, lieutenants, etc) all know that me being held captive in this hole is illegal. I have written them 602s (complaints) and a few letters with no response as of today. But the way they keep me from advancing legally is they keep me in this hole. That's their strategy.
I just sent about seven letters out to various people who can do something about my problem. But the way things go at this stable, the mail will most likely never reach its destination.
This place is so damn crooked and corrupt. Just yesterday an incident happened here in the dayroom. These pigs had to cell extract an inmate, he was lucky they didn't kill him and say he hung himself with a sheet tied to his bed. The way you get cell extracted is you either board up (refuse to leave your cell) or if the pigs think you're dead then they have to come in and get you.
The way they do it is they have about 5 pigs line up in a row with the front man holding a Plexiglas shield. Then they have about 2 or 3 more pigs on both sides of the door. Then they crack the door open and the row of pigs come running in screaming at the top of their lungs "Get down, get down!" Most of the pigs can't even fit in the cell together. Then they trap you against the wall with the shield, and grab you and either throw you to the ground and beat you, or handcuff and then throw you to the ground and beat you and maybe kill you and hang you on a sheet, or just handcuff you and take you out of the cell. With the inmate yesterday they just handcuffed him and put a spit bag over his head and about 10 pigs escorted him to a small cage in the day room about 2 1/2 feed wide, 6 feet tall.
After he was in the cage, I guess the pigs were trying to talk to him to see what was wrong, and they say he tried to spit on them. Now let's keep in mind, this is a mentally ill inmate hand cuffed, in a cage smaller than a bathtub, and a spit bag over his head. He was no threat at all to the gang of officers at that time. But here comes C/O Romoe out of nowhere grabs his can of pepper spray and empties the can on this helpless human and grabs another from his partner's hand and does the same with that one. Now if this is not "cruel and unusual punishment", what is? I don't even know why we have rules and regulations in prison because they are broken each and every day by overreacting, mentally unstable pigs like these.
