Irrational Behavior by Inmate #2

The BOP institution is an irrational organization - where they spend an ungodly amount of money on the staff and not even a bare minimum on the inmates. My tax dollars and yours go to maintaining staff offices with the high end accoutrements of running an office and the staff dining room with top of the line food. Where the inmate food is unhealthy, unstable or inconsistent and unreasonable portions where diet restricted people are given no choice but to starve if there is no protocol for their medical condition.

 

Then if you error in your following if the rules which is one of the unreasonable and irrational things I am talking about they restrict your ability to eat even more by as punishment restricting your commissary and according to my Case manager and Counselor it is going to be a complete ban for 30 days. So no chow line 15-16 of 21 meals a week. No wonder I have lost almost 50 lbs in 129 days. The irrational part is - they know the violations exist all over the unit but choose to ignore the others.

 

Like at count time - there is to be no leaving your room after a certain time (3:45 for evening count (which is supposed to be at 4) but when it is delayed there are certain people who can go do whatever they want - go to the bathroom, go to the hot water dispenser, go to the water fountain - or whatever and be out of their room but never get a shot.

 

One of these people actually walked by the guard just before counting (delaying counting because they waited for her to get back to her room - she does it EVERY count time) but they NEVER write her up. Yet AFTER count my bunkie had to go to the bathroom really bad - at least 15 people went to the restroom BEFORE she did and yet she got a shot for delaying count because they had to recount - 6 people got shots for that but the 3 on the 2nd floor didn't get shots and the 3 in the shower didn't get shots so again I say - their rule enforcement is irrational.

 

Guards are allowed to break the rules that are posted on the bulletin board in front of THEIR office. For example, the daytime guard will not let you sleep after he comes on duty. We get up, clean our room and most of the time go back to bed and cover up with 1 blanket (published rule) but everyday he comes in wakes you up and makes you get up even though your room is already clean. Writing up a guard only gets you retaliation.

 

There is much action on an inmates' part that is fruitless here. This institution is full of irrational behavior. 5 Dr recommendations are not enough to get a medication ( a necessary and life preserving medication) approved. The lack of medical care is extreme in some cases. Yet, the warehouses are full of high end staff and food supplies for staff but inmates cannot get good medical care or (and I won't say any because there are a few good ones) guards who are willing to enforce the rules across the boards to make time served here easy to understand and equal for all.
