Breaking: Arizona Department of Corrections waives medical copays for inmates with cold and flu symptoms, makes soap available to inmates for free, stops internal inmate movementpic.twitter.com/4iSMsZYddv
ADC employees and work crews to be screened as they enter the prisons, but absent any other details, as we reported earlier this week this screening most likely consists of a few basic questions like "have you recently traveled to Wuhan, China"pic.twitter.com/IrI3SvgOcF
"Wardens are also taking part in regular ongoing meetings w/leadership to ensure robust availability of soap, paper towels, hygiene items, and cleaning agents for both inmates and staff" - previously inmates were forced to use their own bath soap and towels to clean their cells
This action comes after a Federal Judge ordered ADC to respond to inmate attorneys who asked for a more detailed Coronavirus plan for AZ prisons - their response is due today and hopefully it will provide more details, I will update when it hits the dockethttps://kjzz.org/content/1488571/federal-judge-orders-arizona-department-corrections-create-detailed-coronavirus-plan …
Yes it's true - inmates have to pay for their own personal hygiene supplies and yes - inmates in Arizona prisons are forced to pay $4 copays just to see a nurse
Attaching this thread with detailed information on the "Squalid, filthy" conditions in AZ prisons that attorneys from the ACLU and Prison Law Office called a "breeding ground for infection"https://twitter.com/newsjunkyjimmy/status/1239066603498565633?s=20 …
Story posted with links to my previous reporting on coronavirus concerns and hygiene issues in state prisons: Under Pressure From Federal Judge, Arizona Changes Prison Health Care Policieshttps://kjzz.org/content/1491701/under-pressure-federal-judge-arizona-changes-prison-health-care-policies …
Wait, wait, wait! Inmates had co-pays!?! WTH? We should not taking people into custody if we are unable or unwilling to take care of them! Good lord, people!
Yep. Not uncommon. They have them in Texas too - and as of last night they had not yet suspended them.
This pandemic has been eye-opening. Essentially, inmates, who are being used for slave labor (watch #13th) are charged for every single basic necessity while prisons/corporations make a profit. BTW, most of the prisoners are black and/or poor. #Injustice
And everything they have to buy is at a huge mark-up. My friends son was in a state prison and I saw the catalog that they bought clothing from. Astronomical prices for everything from underwear to sneakers!
