COs insult prisoners' mothers in MD

I'm currently on medical segregation. All the inmates on my tier and two others are protesting -- banging doors, yelling, flooding the tier, etc. -- because some guards beat up one of the inmates while he was wearing handcuffs. The guards have also been verbally abusing us all through xmas saying things like "fuck your mother," or "I fucked your mother," or "your mother's a whore" and lots of other things. Anything they can come up with they'll say. I've been mostly staying quiet and to myself since I've been on segregation.

I don't know my release date because they won't answer my notes. I also don't know where I'm going when I get out of here since I was homeless before I came here.
