FMC Carswell is where I spent Feb 2018 - Aug 2018. I witnessed horrific disregard for the prisoners and medical negligence. This blog is about those experiences and what came after. The struggles of having the "felon" label in America.

509 inmates are positive for Covid / Coronavirus
I have been checking the BOP website every day multiple times per day and watching the numbers of positive inmates at Carswell go up and up and up. Yesterday the website said 509. They only have approx 1200 inmates so that is approx half. Think about that for a minute. Half of the people in the entire prison have tested positive. From what I am hearing, they were retested yesterday but it takes days to get the results. This is not acceptable. The job of the BOP is to keep the women and men in their custody SAFE. This is an epic fail. These are the most vulnerable women in the entire federal prison system. These are the women who are medically vulnerable to this virus. They should have been testing every officer and worker DAILY. The only way this got into Carswell was by one of them. One of the guards or workers went to work with the virus. Maybe they should track down who it was and charge them with accessory to murder. One inmate died last week because of the virus. Make no mistake, the women are terrified. They see bunks being piled up in the tv rooms that used to belong to the positive inmates. They see people taken out of the unit who are not heard from again. They are scared to death and I fully understand why. This virus is scary enough in the outside world but in a place that is run so incompetently like Carswell - the fear is hitting an all time high.
