It’s a Jungle and I wonder how I keep from going under. Because, only the strong survive in solitary confinement.

    I’m a 53 year old mother of 5 with 10 grandkids. They support me by mail, correspondence, photos, visits. But they all want me free and to come home the same way I left. Thats, the whole me: Mentally and Physically.

I have hypertension, diabetes-mellitus, server disk degenerative disease, mood disorders, severe depression, peripheral vascular disease, anemia deficiency, carpal-tunnel syndrome, arthritis in joints every where in my body, heart palpatations, impulsive, hostile, irritability Behavior, Bursting, obesity, neuopathy. When I entered the system, I only had Diabetes. Obvious, my heath has declined since I’ve been in solitary confinement for a total of 10 years. 

    I have chronic pain due to inability to go to Physical Therapy because of my costody level.

    They punish us with lack of healthcare because of where we live - solitary. Adding on a poor diet they serve us that mainly consist of pork and carbohydrates. 

    Medical staff is completely incompetent. They don’t take my medical concerns seriously. Usually, they ignore them. It takes my family getting involved by calling, visiting, emails on my behalf, then, they address my sick calls with in 10 working days. When the PA arrives at my door without never physically examining me or take my vitals. He just stands at my door and doesn’t review my charts - before coming. Then, half of the time, he forgets to put in the computer the orders he’s discussed with me.

    The prison hospital in Galveston - their expert specialist physicians have ordered me a medication for nerve damage. But the unit medical staff PA has never followed their orders. They never given it to me once. My nerve damage has worsened. I’ve requested another nerve conductive referal and have been denied by PA. My condition could have been treated years ago when it was first diagnosed.
