I'm OK. I have a few problems but nothing I can't deal with.
I had to turn in my radio to the property officer. I couldn't turn it from AM back to the FM station. I'm not sure what's wrong with it. It could have been fixed but I couldn't do it, which is why I turned it in to buy a new one. This isn't the only problem: the problem is with the property officer. She doesn't want to do her job. You see, before I'm allowed to buy a new radio, I have to turn the old one in. It's this way with anything I need a property slip for, e.g. alarm clock, tennis shoes, radio, boots, night lamp, hot pot, fan, typewriter, etc. Anyway, this slip is called a commissary notification. It explains to the commissary personnel that I've been approved to buy a radio or whatever I'm trying to get. Once my property has been picked up, I turn in a blue slip, which is called a special purchase, into the unit commissary the next time I'm allowed to go. This slip goes to the property officer, then it's approved by the Major. However, since May 10 - this is when I turned my radio in - I've been waiting on this woman to send the slips through where they can be approved. I'm waiting to receive a Commissary Notification Slip, which we, prisoners, call a white slip. Once I have this, I'm able to purchase a radio. I've been without one since May 10, other guys have been waiting a lot longer than I have, maybe I'll have to go a month or longer without a radio...
Another problem I'm having is with these lazy ass guards who don't want to do their job. The other day, I was the first person to rec, I was taken outside at 6:05 in the morning, then I had to wait all day on the guards to come shower me. Two other rounds of rec were placed out after me, can you believe, the last round to be pulled off the yard after me was placed into the shower before me! I asked the guard why I wasn't placed inside the shower first. "You're getting fucked over today" was what he said. I wrote this ass up, now every time he works, he makes sure the night shift showers me. Weak people are given authority to cause injustice.
This isn't this lazy ass guard's fault, unit officials are just as lazy: they're the ones telling these guards to stop calling them when an inmate has a problem to deal with the situation. These guards can make up whatever lie they think up against a prisoner & get away with this, because in the eyes of unit officials, their guards are always right. I've been explaining this situation with this guard to the next shift sergeant, all I asked him to do was exp[lain the situation to the ranking officer on the first shift. He told me the first shift ranking officials had told him to stop crying to them about complaints from prisoners because they can run their shift the way they wish! This is what Sgt.Fisher told me. I went to him because Im trying to address this situation correctly, but these people don't care anything about being fair when it comes to a prisoner. It's only after a negative situation has developed that prison officials will focus on the problem but by then it's too late...
