What’s going on at South Bay Prison in Boston?
Just because it’s a prison does not mean we treat people like animals.
Grievances have been filed about food infested with maggots*; rat droppings have also been found in prisoners’ food. The late rain may have been an annoyance to some of us, but it was flooding the women’s cells in the tower where they are held. One woman was given a plastic trash bag to deal with the leaks, which bag was soon filled with water. Another woman took to using her personal property, blankets, towels, sheets, and clothing to stuff up the leaks, all of which was soaked almost immediately. Even the ceiling of the visiting room was severely damaged by recent rain. The facility is fewer than 20 years old. In response to the complaints, the institutional grievance coordinator declared the food and flooding situations “resolved,” despite the fact that the leaks have not been fixed and the food sanitation situation is merely being “investigated.”
So Sherriff Cabral what is the deal? This place sounds so bad that MSNBC would not show this place on Lock Up!
