You often hear horrid tales from inmates, their relatives and their friends about the mistreatment of prisoners. There is no doubt that the mistreatment of inmates does occur, but most of the complaints are farfetched. The problem is that what outsiders see as mistreatment is nothing more than the means needed to keep a dangerous and unruly prison population in line. Unfortunately, too often the public is led to believe that prisoner abuse is rampant because of fabricated wild charges that are spread all over the internet.
Here is a real horseshit comment made on Friday’s Grits for Breakfast blog by ‘Anonymous’, the obvious relative or friend of an inmate:
Anytime you have a system such as the Crain Unit that does not even follow TDCJ rules what do you expect? When guards give gonorrhea to female inmates and then punish the inmates and refuse to charge the guards with the felonies that they committed. It is against both federal and Texas laws to have sex with a person confined and everyone knows the women could have said no but then they would have been crossed out by the guards to other inmates.
This unit has several female guards who are involved with the inmates in what is called sexual misconduct (homosexual sex) even though there is high ranking people on several of the female units in the Gatesville Gulag that are in these same relationships too. They often times punish the women as retaliation for not having sex with them but still again no charges. There is no one to tell because the OIG investigations are only to cover up their crimes and family members and friends are lying for their little inmates.
Visitation on the Crain Unit is so awful I do not see how anybody can even bare to go to it anymore. I watch a backlog of inmates needing to get strip search the other day (3 of them) and it took thirty minutes to do it while a male officer stood beside the door and it could all be heard. The women were pushed out the door still putting on clothes and pulling up their paints, red faced smiling trying to cover up the degrading and humiliation of what they went through and having to face their visitors. The visitation was ruined before the visitation even started on the Terrace unit. This is non-contact visit with no possible way to give anything to anyone but it would not be visitation if the guards could not ruin the visit before it even begins because the guards are the first to tell you how much they do not want you there.
This is the Crain unit’s rehabilitation right there and that is to deprive, degrade and humiliate the inmates in front of their friends. See friends cannot have contact visits because the people in charge will lose their grip on power and after this entire unit is a concentration camp. There is no record that I can find that those guards were even arrested much less fired but the women inmates are being punished brutally as we speak.
The Crain Unit has their priorities all out of place, there goal is to stop visitation and not stop sexually assaults and rapes by their guards. These women should sue the state of Texas for those guards passing STD’s to them. There are several state codes in Texas that covers knowingly passing along dangerous infectious disease to someone. Most of these women who charges are 3g aggravated is the results of DA’s offices political agendas, where the finding of weapon was charged but there was no weapon involved. This will follow these women the rest of their lives in the job sector but hey it looks good come re-election time with the TUFF ON CRIME CROWD.
