This letter was written by a person incarcerated at High Desert.
That California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitations has been trying to fight this crazy battle with the virus. But lockdowns with infected cellmates is obviously not the answer. I was negative the three and a half months I was in reception. Only to be moved from reception to another prison where the whole yard has been infected. The correctional officers housed me in the hot housing.
The block I was housed in was infected and moved me in with three different cellmates that has caught the virus. I really feel like the COs don’t care if I’m healthy and COVID-free. One of the COs made a comment of “you’re gonna catch it anyways, so who cares, get it over with.”
