Testimony from Women's Control Unit in FLA
I knew I couldn’t just “sit here and pass time” and I would emerge from this abyss unchanged. I had to do something, something different from my first CM stay (where I broke) – I had hung myself and was cut down by my “torturers” – revived and sent to an outside hospital for observation (lack of oxygen and throat damage). I’m lucky I didn’t break my neck…
I just knew back then (2003) I wasn’t “CM material.” I couldn’t live like this – so deprived of EVERYTHING because I’m a “needy” person and CM is not a place for the needy – “indeedy…” There were a lot of different factors at play that pushed me to decide to kill myself before they killed me.
Nevertheless, here I am again, back in prison – chewed up and swallowed by the beast who didn’t get its fill of me the last 2 times and here I am CM-ed due to prior CM placement and a history that marks an inability to live in open population without disrupting the orderly running of the facility – YEAH! (smile) and being a threat to the security of the institution.
I have been indigent since August and owe $28.00 to medical.. So I can’t get anything to make myself semi-comfortable or (get) the proper food to eat for my Hep. C. I can’t get any more batteries, nor can I even buy (wear) sneakers or shorts or t-shirts on cool days…I would be floored if I could eat tuna & drink V-8, listen to the radio, have my own writing paper, a stock of hygienes and whatever is close to a “necessity!” I would love to be able to order stuff once a week, like 66 of the women here (only 4 of us are “poor”). There are only 70 CM women in Florida State prisons. Lowell (here) is the only CM for women. So, I’m one of their Public Enemy #1’s

this woman sounds like she is trying to get money from ppl and have us feel sorry for her. Well i don't feel sorry for her. This Savage, has gotten what she deserves, in my opinion. She has a radio to listen to, had her art work and supplies until she acted like an animal and got them taken away. I am sorry if she has made any of you feel like she is the victim here. The only thing she is victim to is the drugs she is addicted to. but i'm sure she will find someone to blame for that too. Every disciplinary report that she has gotten has been a result of her misbehavior.
This woman has mental problems - most likely from drug abuse. She is a person who attempts to manipulate staff. I agree with the last comment made. (( From a C.O. from were that letter was sent)) I can tell you some inmates have nothing better to do but try to find some one to blame for choice to violate the law. Confinement
is in place to protect the inmate placed and other INMATES, not to mention staff from those that can not follow rules and control there conduct.
So, what did the poor little thing to do to wind up in solitary?
