Excessive force in Texas
I am still here in TDCJ doing time. I’m still locked in administrative segregation and the living conditions here are still not good. It’s better now in this unit than it was 2 years ago, and I believe this is because we have a new dept. warden here in high security and because of all the inmates filing lawsuits.
The main issue that makes it so hard is the excessiveness of force. The officers are slamming inmates to the floor and beating them senseless for something as small as cussing them out.
Getting medical care is a hard thing to do, because the nurses and doctors won’t treat us. Receiving medical care here in TDCJ is not easy to do, it’s a system-wide problem for everybody involved.
Everybody that works for TDCJ is corrupt in one way or another, and I believe this corruption goes all the way to the governor of Texas.
