My son contacted me last week about the very unsanitary conditions in the jail where he is incarcerated, I have no problem with his serving time for his crime, but I have a very HUGE problem with worms in the sinks, no security cameras and filthy bathrooms. On top of that, the food portions is not a sustainable amount. The meat is so thin they can read words placed up under the meat. Because my son and several others complained about the conditions, they were denied their visitation yesterday! This needs taking care of as soon as possible! Another reason: Nov 2, 2015 — So today I am notified that an inmate in this same facility is being denied a special diet that is needed for someone on dialysis. He has only one kidney and goes to dialysis 3 times a week! I do not know this person, only his name. I have no idea why he is locked up and it DOES NOT MATTER! Prison officials are obligated under the Eighth Amendment to provide prisoners with adequate medical care!Some examples of actionable harm from inadequate medical care include:
• Serious denials or delay in access to medical personnel.
• A denial of access to appropriately qualified health care personnel.
• A failure to inquire into facts necessary to make a professional judgment.
• A failure to carry out medical orders.
He has been giving a diet to follow, yet it is not being done!
Please sign my petition to demand Washington County Regional Correctional Facility address unsanitary conditions and poor diets, and stop punishing inmates who report improper care!
