Default The low gets lower...

I am an inmate at New River Correctional Institution. We at New River here in Florida, need your help. We have a very big problem with health and comfort items.

The problem is getting toilet paper and soap. When we run out, we run out before they are giving it out again. Then we got to go with out. Now the office will tell us to use our hand to wipe ourselves off. Or, if it is a weekend, they tell us to get up and take a shower. but what about the week days? For the inmates that go to school, guards pass out about thirteen or fourteen inches of toilet paper and they say, if that don't work, too bad.

So I'm writing you today to see if you will help us tell the people. If the people knew what was going on in here, someone just might help us. So we here at New River Correctional are asking you to help us let the people know what's going on in here.

There is no way that we are to use our hand to wipe ourselves with no soap to clean ourselves. One inmate just came to me and asked me for some toilet paper to blow his nose. I did not have none, so he blew his nose in his hand. It's that Bad!

Help please! This is cruel and unusual punishment.

Can you put this out to the people? Just maybe someone will come forth to help us here in Florida. This shows how bad Florida prisons are doing.

We are not even going to talk about the food!

It's funny but now the governor of Florida is trying to take away rights of the public. Doesn't he have enough inmates to step on? To all of you who aren't familiar with Jeb and how he runs his prisons, have a look at these links:

http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/fci/FSPsports.html

http://www.angelfire.com/fl4/prison/overview.html

Welcome to Florida new comers! The way our prison systems are run would make great footage for CNN - course they'd never let us see that. After all, it's freedom of speech and Jeb can't have that.

Why if America such good place why do Bush be in power if he make America poor and why would people want him and family. Americas treat prisoners worse than many poor countries by bush. Now why they take new friends away. I am not allowed to rite prisoners now in florida because Jeb bush say I cant?! I am not even in America and now he tells me no you wont rite prisoners. This is not understanding. Why do Americas not want to help them and make them better peoples?! I see how Americas prisoners treated and think that sometime Americas is not what it looks like. Many Americas leaders look bad like Sadam. That is what I think. I like Americas people. I wont like Americas leaders tho.

I have been in several Florida Prisons I must admit they do not compare favorable with the Prison here in Pa. in any aspect. However I do doubt they are as bad as this inmate indicates. If this was an ongoing problem I am sure some inmate would have file some sort of brief with a Federal Court. I have learned that the truth is most likely somewhere between the two sides. Things generally appear different when one looks from either end rather than the middle.
