Thank you for the
information and news update from out there! Here is an update from the current
epicenter of the virus within the DOC. At this point WCI has been placed on a
modified lockdown. Just prior to being placed on it inmates housed within the North
Cell Hall, A-Range were moved and relocated to cells throughout the cell hall.
Their cells were then turned into "Isolation Cells" and sick or
exposed inmates were then placed in those cells, STILL within the general
population. As I am sure you have heard there is a staff member here who has
tested positive for the virus, as I understand it and according to several
sources it in the Doctor here, Doctor Jeffrey Manlove. Also, according to
several sources inmates who came in contact with him are now housed within the
North Cell Hall, where I am housed, on A-Range in general population. Likewise,
there are still inmates, not in isolation housed on the same tier, where every
one housed in the North cell hall have to walk pass their cells in order to
shower!
According to
another reliable source staff who have been exposed to the infected staff have
not been instructed or ordered to self quarantine, but instead only to
self-report symptoms. They are not otherwise subjected to any screening. It
should be noted that this information is current as of today's date. Food
service workers continue to work along side inmates to prepare food, and staff
continue to work in close proximity with inmates, despite there being a
confirmed case. Inmates are not currently being given access to cell hall
kiosks to place money on their tablets to send emails and keep regular contact
with family and friends. The morale among inmates close to me and those I know
is low and we feel helpless. Our first knowledge of a confirmed case came from
Fox 6 News. There are people here, including my roommate, who have less than 2
years to release and there have been no attempts to release them or move them
to other low security facilities. I hope this assist in you and other's
endeavor. I would also ask that you provide me with information from the ACLU.
