Punished for Reporting Abuses at Ferguson

I am at a really bad unit named Ferguson Unit at midway Texas, about 20 miles from Huntsville, TX. At this unit I have shown the rules, policies, procedures, practices, of T.D.C.J. with other offenders saying, “Oh well, we have been punished for made up rules, given cases, violating our rights in every way. Grievances do no good even the bosses tell the others who, what, when, on them.” Yeah it causes many problems for me. The pigs get away with so much that the oh well offenders (OW) let them talk them up. At an inspection, a group asked if we seen any roaches, rats. We said no. But this one guy said there was. The inspector said “oh that’s why they only wanted to show this dorm.” The L.T. here stated “oh yeah tomorrow you’re on lock down.” We are. The food is all mush soups. Types of food portions so small that I see us that do not have commissary, are about sick. One hot dog, one sandwich, food unprepared or clean.

Here is a kicker. I came here to repair equipment because I am an equip mec for 30 years, professional. I seen a lot that this farm shop was selling parts to equip that it was not put on, or put in trash. I wrote the main O.I.G. (Offender Inspector General). It was all turned on being my fault, and to mind my business. Wow, I was talked to really bad still watching them break the laws.

I did everything I could to be sent to a different work camp. We are abused, fed mediocre food. They strip us out multiple times going out to work. Search us multiple times, the bad is other (oh wells) oh drown us. Us that would file grievances, or lawsuits they try to beat us up.

They see I don’t back down, I seem to not get it through their heads if the unit don’t get stopped from violating their rules, policies, the more they are restricted from little freedoms. They are blind.

I’ve spoke to many about this with same issue, no one wants to stand in unity. This is the worst unit I have been on.

Here’s the problem. The unit has all kids with few older guys. The kids are doing so much stealing from kitchen doing this and that! Going dorm to dorm. Really doing free will. Without realizing if it was not for someone like me they would not have any type of T.V., radio, so much as their house. What am I to do? No talking to them.

We spoke to a SGT Andrew Sey about why we’re on lock down and made to get up at 6AM on our day off to clean a dorm that has SSI. “Because if someone tells Huntsville inspectors B.S. on us, you can’t write grievances on us because we can lock the dorm down for not being clean.” Our Dorm is the cleanest I’ve seen. This unit that abuses us in ways that they believe we can’t do anything about. The kitchen C/O Stubble Field has these same guys feed us so they give 3/4 scoops of portions. Pans are not on a warmer, uncooked, nasty to eat.

The pigs use things like “this is a disciplinary unit”. I said what did I do to be put on disciplinary? I’ve seen nothing about some sidewalk rules in no T.D.C. It’s just this unit. How can I get help? I’ve written every rights group there is with no help or any reply.

I am forced to repair the equipment, threatened by them. They do it in ways that shoulder the policy. How can I fight this unit’s every grievance, every I60, they use other offenders against me for doing it.

I’m asking you for help! Any new forms I could use to guide me to file them, I can’t seem to word them well. The food, the abuse, at the end of everything I’ve done nothing works.

We are made to get up at 4AM lights on, say name, number and then at other counts the dorm C/O wakes you up. Then cross count also. These C/Os enforce rules that do not exist. The inmates follow them like dogs, they let them put things in their ear.

Do you in any way have forms for me to copy on my own as in about abuse, food, C/Os, I need help wording how to write it legal, I want to file a suit. Last year during shakedown they burnt us up in the sun naked out of spite for hours.
