The Phoenix “gray water” proposal, for example, that suggests installing two sets of pipes in new homes in Phoenix to allow residents to reuse some of their waste-water as so called “gray water,” or water that is below minimum drinking safety requirements and would normally be passed into the sewage system. “In addition to the standard pipes that send waste-water to the sewer, a second set

Prisons today are pushed to their limits, both state, and federal prisons. Inmates are forced to live in unsanitary, unhealthy, unsafe, and poor conditions. Men and woman should not be made to sleep on floors, sleep in tents outside, or fight for a spot in a long line to shower. This issue needs to be addressed, and some states have proceeded to do so and have had great results.

It took officers eight minutes to intervene and save Hanni. A former employee as this to say: “It it clear to me that ICC was more interested in making a profit than reducing prisoner violence” (Gains 440). This is the only problem involving CCA, in 2012 there was a riot that resulted in the death of a correctional officer and 20 injuries at the Adams County Correctional Center in Natchez, Mississippi (Gains 440). The most recent trouble for CCA has been Estancia, NM. In June of last year one of their employees at the Torrance County Detention Center of which they are under contract to help run the prison, a 41 year old women named Wendy Moore was charged with “24 counts of criminal sexual penetration of an inmate and three counts of attempted criminal sexual penetration of an inmate” (Howerton). She has been fired from CCA. (Howerton). Private prisons should not exist because we should be letting some one with a private agenda be running a prison.

According to the Washington Post article written by Rachel Weiner, in April of 2015, a 24-year-old mentally ill man named Jamycheal Mitchell was accused of stealing in Portsmouth, Virginia. He was ordered by a judge to be sent to a psychiatric hospital. Meanwhile, he stayed in the Virginia jail, waiting for a bed to be appointed to him. Mitchell did not receive the proper or necessary care and was later found dead after 5 months of being incarcerated in the jail. It was observed that he had lost a shocking 36 pounds, which rose multiple questions concerning his health during his incarcerated period. This jail was under investigation for violating Mitchell’s rights and is greatly to blame for his death due to their poor supervision, lack of

We were able to locate and review the lawsuit Robert Coleman v CDCR, et al. In the complaint the plaintiff alleges that he was moved from a bunk bed cell to a side by side cell, which he claims seriously affected his mental health disorder (schizophrenia). The inmate states that when he informed the C/O that he could not stay in the side by side cell the C/O retaliated against him by placing the inmate in a small cage that he had to stand in for approximately seven hours. According to the inmate, his medical disability prohibits him from standing for long periods of time and subsequently experienced right knee pain and swelling. The inmate also indicates that his placement in a modified program violated his rights against lack of yard time

The water supply was officially switched in April of 2014, and shortly after, residents began to complain about the smell and color of their water. Months after resident’s complaints were essentially ignored, E. coli and coliform bacteria were detected in the water (NPR, 2016). Residents were advised to boil their water until pipes were flushed and water was treated with chlorine. The exact same scenario occurred for a second time in September.

California’s prison system is facing a number of infrastructure changes as a result of a judicial decision that came down from the United States Supreme Court, Governor of California et al v. Plata et al. California’s prison system was deemed inadequate and dangerous due to severe overcrowding which led to “needless suffering and death” (Rogan, 2012, 262). The court ruled that the State must reduce the number of inmates in California’s thirty-three state prisons. This ruling came about after two class-action lawsuits were filed, Coleman v. Wilson in 1990 and Plata v. Davis in 2001 (Rogan, 2012, 261). These lawsuits were filed by inmates that claimed they received poor medical and mental health care within the State’s prison health care system (Vicini, 2011,1). The evidence presented in these cases showed several shortcomings in California 's prison health care system (Rogan, 2012, 264).

We conducted a Free Available Chlorine (FAC), Chloramines (Total Chlorine) test on the portable water we received from the pier services prior to our initial transfer of water and our test indicated the following:

Upon arriving to Fresno County Jail, I had few expectations of the environment. My initial thought was there was going to be a ton of screaming and disorderly conduct just to scare us. I did not see anyone screaming towards us or anyone trying to fight us. I did see lots of gang sign thrown at us and few remarks to the correctional officers, but it wasn’t bad. The facility was dirty and smelt bad. Our tour guide officer told us that they have mice and other pesticide problem due to inmates taking their food to their bunks and leaving it there for a few days. One thing that amazed me was the underground tunnel because I would have never thought a county jail would have one. The underground tunnel is used to transport inmates to court.

Members of our fire department addressed the chlorine issue in the Fire Department several years ago by installing a water filter on their departmental water fountain. Indeed, I’m sure that the employees at City Hall would welcome a reprieve from the chlorine taste that seems to permeate the water in the water fountains and the kitchen faucet.

In the solitary confinement, prisoners are being abused by the guards and other cell mates. There are plenty of cases in

But unlike federal prisons, private ones focus on maximizing gain rather than saving money, and maximizing gain becomes possible with the business practices aforementioned. Not only has the prison itself been privatized, but also the food and medical care. One company in particular is the Aramark Corporation who provides food to prisoners at a lesser cost. If there’s one thing not to be thrifty about, its food, and this proved to be true when there were serious cases of prisoners being mal fed reported all throughout the system. There were 65 reported cases in Ohio alone of food failing to be provided or running out of it, and 5 cases of maggots being found in the food. The Aramark Corp. has also changed their recipes to include cheaper and sub standard ingredients in their food. These prisons are failing to provide these prisoners with basic human care, because the fact that they’re in prison doesn’t change the fact they’re

On 06/01/2016 at 8:55 AM I along with Cpl. Pries, R. was escorting the above named inmate from the BHU Interview Room back to his assigned housing, BHU-13. Once we entered Section II of the BHU the inmate attempted to kick and head-butt Cpl. Pries and me. Because of this we had to place the inmate on the ground in order to stop his behavior and to gain control of him. Once the inmate was under control he was taken back to assigned cell. At approx. 9:15 AM the inmate was seen by the SMH nurse, RN Henkleman, P.

Having poor heath care within the prison system is something that is very dangerous. It can lead to things such as accidental deaths, worsening pre-existing conditions, and conditions occurring that could have been prevented if the proper care was
