Hell times 10

Hello to you PrisonPandemic and students,

I am from Mule Creek Prison. At this prison our health and safety is of no real concern, prisoners come and go with COVID-19, or without it. It’s been hell in this prison this last year. The staff and CO five that run this place lock us down and call it quarantine.

Then run program again when they don’t want to do the work anymore. Then they move us around we get sick. Lock us down. It’s been going on like this for too long. No one cares about people in prison we can really see that now.

So that my story in short. Prison is hell, COVID-19 made it hell times 10.

ABOUT PRISONPANDEMIC™

By providing a digital archive of stories, UCI PrisonPandemic™ is bringing greater transparency to the COVID-19 crisis in prisons and jails. Made up of faculty and students at the University of California, Irvine, it is an ongoing initiative to collect stories from people incarcerated in California carceral facilities, their family members and loved ones, and the staff who work in these facilities. We will continue to add more stories as we receive them. If you use any material from this site, please reference or link to prisonpandemic.uci.edu. In creating PrisonPandemic, our hope is that the archive will outlive the COVID-19 pandemic and serve as a resource for understanding the unequal toll of the criminal justice system in the United States.
