Urgent Action Required to Address Inhumane Conditions and Drug-Related Deaths in 

Dear STATE OF TEXAS AND ANYONE THAT WILL LISTEN..............

I hope this letter finds you well. My intention in writing to you today is to bring your attention to the deplorable conditions and increasing number of drug-related deaths in MCCONNELL. I recently received a letter from an inmate at the facility, sharing some distressing information that requires immediate investigation and action.

According to the inmate, [Prison Name] received a significant donation of frozen pizza and dinners from the S.A. Food Bank. However, it came to my attention that none of these food items are being distributed among the inmates, despite being donated to the unit. Instead, it appears that some officers have taken advantage of this donation for their personal gain, even selling these food items illegally. I believe that these resources should be allocated fairly and equally to all inmates, as this is their right. Such disparities only reinforce the notion that the administration is insensitive to the plight of those incarcerated.

What is even more alarming is the recent spike in inmate fatalities caused by drugs within the facility. The inmate's letter revealed that three individuals lost their lives in the past week alone, with one being a suicide and two others falling victim to K2-related incidents. This raises grave concerns about the role of the prison staff assigned to maintain order and protect the wellbeing of the inmates. One cannot help but wonder if these tragic deaths could have been prevented had the officers, who are conveniently receiving the donated food, been more vigilant and proactive in their duties.

Furthermore, the inmate expressed dissatisfaction with the changes made to the communication system. Personal mail has been replaced with digital correspondence on tablets, causing substantial delays of up to 6-8 weeks in receiving mail. Additionally, the process of arranging visits has become arduous, and the behavior of the officers during these visits has been nothing short of disrespectful. These unnecessary obstacles to maintaining connections with loved ones and accessing basic communication rights only inflict further emotional strain on the inmates.

It is my firm belief that an issue of this magnitude requires immediate and comprehensive action to rectify the situation. The inmate suggested that we, as concerned citizens, reach out to our elected officials and demand accountability from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ). The inmate proposes launching a thorough investigation into the influx of drugs into the facility, holding those responsible accountable for the drug-induced deaths that have occurred. Additionally, the inmate highlights the need for proper staffing to address the overcrowding issue, as well as seeking clarification and improvements in the implementation of the 508.145 bill regarding good time.

I implore you, as an elected official entrusted with the welfare of your constituents, to take immediate steps to address these grave concerns in [Prison Name]. This situation not only undermines the basic human rights of the inmates but also poses a serious threat to their physical and mental well-being. I kindly request that you utilize your influence and authority to push for a thorough investigation into the alleged mishandling of donations and the rampant drug epidemic within the facility. It is crucial that those responsible for these injustices be held accountable and that immediate measures be taken to ensure the safety, dignity, and fair treatment of all inmates.

I kindly request a response from your office regarding the actions that will be taken in light of this urgent matter. I believe that through collective efforts, we can bring about the necessary changes and restore justice to those who are currently suffering.

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter. I trust in your commitment to justice and your dedication to serving the best interest of your constituents.

THE ORIGINAL EMAIL FROM THE INMATE:

Hello Angela, Just wanted to stop by and say hi, and praying all is well with you and what you ghost going on in the next few months. I also wanted to update you with a few things. I learned that the S.A. Food Bank donated a lot of frozen pizza and dinners, but non of that goes to us! I hear its for the officers??? Of course, a few of these boxes are taken by a few inmates and sold in the street??? But the fact that its donated to the unit, I believe it should be distributed equally! It is a sad situation, but this is prison, and it only proves how the administration works. Now, on another note. As of last week, 3 inmates have died--1 last week, because of the K2 drugs coming in, and 2 last night, 1 suicide and another K2 episode. In my opinion, had the officers--that are being fed this donated food been doing their job, maybe these lives could have been saved? What's even more crazy us that they took away our personal mail, which we now have to get digitally on our tablets--that takes anywhere from 6-8 weeks--and they made it hard to get visits, and when you do get a visit, the officers are very disrespectful! So in my opinion, if any drug is coming in, its coming in through they same officers eating our portion of donated food! So I am wondering if there is a easy to bring all of these unfortunate death's to the attention of the public. The unit is so short of officers that its now becoming a serious matter that needs investigated. All family members of the McConnell Not need to get involved and do something love me writing their Representative or Senator asking what are they going to do about all these deaths that are happening. They need to launch an investigation and find out who is bringing in all these drugs and hold them accountable for these drug induced deaths. Were over crowed and under staffed so they need to let people go. I did read, and reread this 508.145 bill on good time, and I found it somewhat confusing, but hope for the best. Like I tel! others, March is around the corner and when that day comes, we will see who comes up for parole. Anyway, just wanted to share his with you. Maybe you can share this with your followers and maybe they can voice their concerns, because in truth, TDCJ is responsible for these unfortunate death's! Well you take care. I won't be calling until I get some phone minutes. God willing by next week. May God keep you and bless you in all you do.
