A lot of things are changing behind these walls, for worse. Officers do whatever they want, ranking officers don't try to be fair when addressing problems, it's always the same - officers are always right! It has got so bad now, guards use the rules as an excuse on why they haven't done their work. On some days, I can't get a shower or my rec nor a good shave because the guards haven't done what they're supposed to do. Now, all the lights are turned on at 2:18 a.m. as guards are about to do a head count! It doesn't matter that we, prisoners, are being woken up out of our sleep. All of this began Jan.25. These people still haven't sold anyone any toothpaste nor deodorant in months. I'm doing the best I can with what I have. I'll be out soon, then I'll be forced to use toothpowder, which is something I don't want to do. I see this as just something else to worry me.
Some guard let an inmate out of the shower while officers were on the runway, I was told. This inmate assaulted a guard. How bad? I don't know if the guard was hurt at all. Nevertheless, prison officials use this as an excuse not to shower the whole building the following day! They say something was wrong with the shower - or this is how the inmate got out. They only say this to protect the guard who let the inmate out.
It happens all the time: guards push the wrong button by mistake, no matter, this is how things get covered up. Prison officials are always using human errors to take advantage of the state officials saying their officers aren't safe. This will cause the state to pay out more money adding more guards...who aren't doing a damn thing! It's getting difficult to keep up with this nonsense being  forced upon us, prisoners. The guards now know ranking officials will support anything they tell them, wrong or made up, so most of the guards now aren't trying to do their jobs, the only thing they have to do is shower, rec & feed. They're using security checks, count time, escort mailroom, nurse & restroom runs to disrupt everything they have to do, meaning this is their excuse on why they can't do showers or weren't able to feed or get out recs. The only time I'm allowed to shave is in the shower but when I'm not taken to the shower I'm unable to shave! This is what happened to me yesterday: a sergeant told me I had to shave, he wasn't concerned with the reason why I hadn't shaved. Madness is the only thing to describe this!
