I have witnessed such inhumane practices in the visiting room as the guards only allowing ill prisoners to be escorted to the bathroom once an hour so that they won't be inconvenienced. An hour is a long time when diseases that cause diarrhea such as hepatitis, affect nearly half the inmates. The Prison Guard's Academy doesn't teach people skills and compassion, it teaches the opposite. The power high guards do not take these jobs because they love people. They are far more dangerous than the prisoners in my qualified opinion.
There are a few examples of why no leading criminologist believes that prisons do anything but break mostly non-violent offenders in mind, body and spirit and I certainly agree with those conclusions. What was done to me served no penological interest and I believe that the three prison guards owe the prisoner that I came to visit and me an apology and reimbursement for the $300 that I had to save up for which was wasted. There is no way that they can compensate me for also wasting three days of my life, forcing me to go buy an undergarment and put it directly over a painful surgical wound, then still deny me the visit. They laughed when I told them that I would write this article because their abuse is so routine and the families are too fearful to say or do anything about it, because retaliation is real.
Additionally, how many women with an advanced education would put their brassiere choice out there in the national news. As promised, here is the story of how I was booby trapped by the Brassiere Brigade at Sierra Conservation Center because the people have a right to know what is being done in their names and paid for with their tax dollars. To my university professors, both living and dead, I apologize for these primitive creatures who reduce both prisoners and their visitors to their low-brow level. Sometimes a person has no choice but to roll in the pig pen or the slop continues to affect too many lives adversely.
I would like to hear from anyone who has been turned away who was wearing an undergarment that had no metal wire because I believe that they had no right to condemn my bra choice in the first place. If prison guards ever abused you as a visitor to Sierra Conservation Center, I would like to hear from you. The lawsuits now in progress need participation and support in every way, otherwise the bullies in charge will continue to do this kind of harm which serves no penological interest. I am also on Facebook.
Title15-2012 -- this link will take you to the Title 15 and the Department of Operations Manual. As anyone can see, I violated none of these codes. The institutions also make up more detailed rules but these do not supercede the authority of the Title 15
This is the url to the Title 15 Calif Code 2012 Prison visits are under 3176 http://www.cdcr.ca.gov/Regulations/Adult_Operations/docs/Title15-2012.pdf
