Oregon Prison Report: Voices from the Inside

"It's frustrating in here right now. You have a lot of inmates literally standing up saying, 'What the fuck? Why are you guys doing this to us?'”

#ODOCKills #KateBrownKills #FreeThemAll

 “And you have a lot of officers just saying, 'Tough, can't do anything about it. Deal with it. We're in charge and you're not.'"

[Note: As of 2/8/21 there are a total of 103 positive cases of COVID-19 at SCI, 21 of which are currently active.]
(Testimony from Lane County Mutual Aid's (@eughungerstrike) Correspondence)

Santiam Correctional Institution (SCI) / February 2, 2020.
So on Monday, they gave another mass test of COVID-19, or they offered it again, and this time a larger amount of people for multiple reasons refused the test. A lot of them refused the test because they were pretty sure they have COVID-19 and they don't wanna be shipped out...
... , go to OSP and get locked down. And once again, that situation like every other institution is doing it if you refuse the test they quarantine you for 14 days. I mean that's... You have the right to refuse the test you have a right to refuse any medical...
... you know that's a constitutional right that even prisoners continue to have.

But you don't have a right to continue to put people in danger, you know, especially people who are highly susceptible and could die from it. And when the people refused...
... once again, Santiam kept everybody and did not quarantine the people.

So the second thing that they did was they came through today and they told everybody you know get on your bunks and they went around and told everybody publicly, again, in violation of HIPAA...
... who had tested positive. 8 people from my unit tested positive. And this is what, so, every other institution that I've been to and seen what goes on if you have COVID-19 they immediately take you to a quarantine zone.
They brought people back up into this dorm and told them to roll their stuff up and put them within 2-3 feet of people who had tested negative making these people... they brought COVID people back up to a dorm full of people.
For some reason the tests this time were not the rapid tests, they gave us rapid tests last time.

This time they gave us the 2 day tests, so these people who tested positive have been sitting in out unit for 2 days with COVID-19 spreading it even further...
... and then like 2 guys were from the kitchen. They work in the kitchen.

So rather than going down and grabbing these people and saying "Ok you're COVID-19 positive, we need to quarantine you" they go down to the kitchen, grab these people...
... and bring them right back up into a dorm filled with 120 people to have them wrap their stuff up when its normal procedure under all kinds of different circumstances for an officer to roll somebody's property up and put it in bags and stuff. It's not unheard of.
If they get in a fight, if there's situations like that, they don't allow you to roll up your property, you have 2 lockboxes and an officer rolls your property up for you, so it's something that regularly happens anyways and could have and should have happened...
... in a situation like this.

But instead, they marched these people who they know are COVID-19 positive up into a dorm with 120 people and just further spread it.
It's frustrating in here right now. You have a lot of inmates literally standing up saying, "What the fuck? Why are you guys doing this to us?" And you have a lot of officers just saying, "Tough, can't do anything about it. Deal with it. We're in charge and you're not."
And then one other thing that I never brought up last time which I now find to be incredibly relevant and I'll use bunk number 1076 in dorm number 1 as an example.

The first round of COVID tests bunk 1076 tested positive for COVID-19. He was a part of the whole shenanigan...
... where they left everybody in here for 24 hours and then shipped him out the next day.

They are not decontaminating areas that they know are COVID-19 positive, they're not!

There's decontamination, kind of, of the day room with this ion machine but these are areas...
... they don't know have COVID, they just regularly do it. Areas that they know have COVID because the person has tested positive they're not decontaminating. So when the first round of testing happened and bunk 1076 was shipped out, a new person was brought...
... to this institution and put in bunk 1076 without decontaminating it. This second round of COVID tests the new guy in bunk 1076 got COVID-19. And has been shipped out because he has COVID-19.

[Do you know if it's directly because he was put in a contaminated space?]
He was put in the contaminated zone! I can't conclusively say that's how he got COVID, because he might have easily gotten it from the fact that we had people left in here and we have people refusing to test and the DOC is not quarantining them but it's just as highly likely...
... and relevant that they put a person in... and they don't even wait!

There's no like "OK we're gonna give it a couple hours, a couple days, they just move somebody immediately in a contaminated zone without cleaning it."
And that guy has now been shipped out because he's COVID positive.

So it's... it's... It's happened again.

Multiple situations where they are just not caring about how dangerous COVID is, and they're not even following their own protocols.
So with the lawsuit that the Oregon Justice Resource Center filed originally there was a lot of preliminary injunctions they asked for and they were denied because, I mean this is what ____ told me, the judge praised the Department of Corrections and told them...
... "You're doing a wonderful job. You have a great plan in place, this will work." And in essence, I believe that. It was truthful, back then. The Department of Corrections had a phenomenal plan in place.

The problem is when it came to implementing it, they never did.
I mean you can say you're gonna do A, B, C and D all you want, if you don't do it, it doesn't matter! I mean who cares if you sat down and promised people a million things, you never did them so therefore people are dying. And Santiam is a huge example of it...
... just flat out it's a huge example of it, because everything... their own policies are not being followed.

People who are COVID-19 positive are being marched into dorms with hundreds of people. That's my... how did Peter Griffin say it? That grinds my gears!
So, you can turn the recording off.

[Wait, can I ask you a couple questions?]

Oh yeah, go for it.

[So how long were people positive kept around people who weren't this time around? Because the tests were really long, right? How long were the tests?]
If you count that these were not rapid tests, people who were COVID-19 positive... So we had our tests Monday, and today's Wednesday. So it's been 48 hours.

[So how many people do you estimate got it, because right now the COVID-19 tracking page was updated on February 1st...
... so it's missing two days and it's showing 96 positive people?]

96 total at Santiam? Active cases?

[It says 14 active but 96 total.]

Ok that number went down because of that.
[Yeah but these numbers are still from 2 days ago and it sounds like the tests just came back today.]

I can't say facility wide, I can say conclusively my dorm, my dorm had 8 people. And that's 8 out of like a hundred, so on our second round we're talking a 10% positive rate.
And if that holds true for the rest of the institution, and I'm not gonna claim that is the truth, but 8 per dorm? We're talking 30-40 people facility-wide.

*Heads-up that this thread will feature some extreme examples of homophobia and transphobia.*

Hey folks, have you ever wondered why trans people face constant accusations of fetishism, sexual predation and child abuse/grooming? Well, today let's talk about stochastic terrorism.

So, first we have to talk about what stochastic terrorism actually is. Remember when there was a conspiracy that there was a pedophile ring operating out of a pizza parlour basement, and a crazed gunman showed up? It's that sort of incitement that stochastic terrorism describes.

It's the demonisation or incitement against a group of people or individuals with the intent that other, unaffiliated parties will act upon it; it's the releasing doctored footage and a shooter show up at Planned Parenthood as a direct result of what he's been led to believe.

So with that in mind, let's talk about Russia's extreme anti-LGBT laws that banned the "promotion" of LGBT lifestyles to children. A move that specifically marked LGBT people as a threat to children, and resulted in neo-nazis meting out vigilante "justice" against gay men.


Groups such as this would lure unsuspecting gay men via dating sites, and brutalise and humiliate them on camera. They did so under the guise of combating child abusers, one group calling themselves "Occupy

What does Gold- Backed mean?
The Chinese Elders have been accumulating gold for hundreds of years. They are gold-rich. Some of their gold was loaned to the Central Banking System so that it could fund the rebuilding of Europe after the many war-torn years from World Wars I and II

BTW they never returned it but used it to start their financial empire to enslave humanity. This is the Central Bank Banking System./2

Maybe this is why one of the conditions to use their gold for the QFS is the demise and full disclosure of the Central Bank banking system before the RV can take place./3

The Elders have caves of hidden gold and are now using it to gold-back the currencies in the QFS for every country in the world. It is important to understand that the QFS and the money it is about to release is all brand-new currency./4

It was designed by the Alliance to fund the new financial system that will reset all Currencies of the world to Gold-Backed currency./5

Academic staff at universities can't be open about the complaints against them - and most complaints of transphobia from students seem to be directed at staff. I'm just a final year PhD student, under no contractual requirement to be confidential, so I can share.

The original complaint against me was typical of the sort of thing directed at many female professional academics (and some male too). The strategies employed by my complainants are commonly used.

One of these is to perform vulnerability while behaving aggressively. Performing vulnerability is essential in order to trigger the university's awareness of its duties under the Equality Act, and establish an oppressor/victim dynamic to the case from the outset.

My complainants did this effectively. The complaint was initiated by a fellow PhD student, who joined forces with the SU. A student from the SU wrote the actual complaint. This is how it begins:


In all my dealings with @HuddersfieldUni I accepted that sometimes anonymous complaints were necessary - and that, sometimes, victimisation could be a concern. However, I have never victimised anyone. Nobody has ever argued that I have.

Hi @officestudents @EHRC @EHRCChair @KishwerFalkner @RJHilsenrath @trussliz @GEOgovuk

The Equality and Diversity section of your job application has 'gender' in what appears to be a list of the protected characteristics under the Equality Act 2010.

However...

1/15


However, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

Sex is the protected characteristic under the Act, but that is not on your list.

2/15


You then ask for the 'gender' of the applicant with options:

Male
Female.

3/15


Again, 'gender' is not a protected characteristic under the Equality Act 2010 and is not defined in the Act.

https://t.co/qisFhCiV1u

4/15


Sex is the protected characteristic and the only two possible options for sex are 'Female' and 'Male' as defined in the Act and consistent with biology, but you don't ask for that.

https://t.co/CEJ0gkr6nF

'Gender' is not a synonym for sex.

Since a lot of my fellow Texans are going to apply for aid through @FEMA let’s talk about the agency and some of the barriers disaster survivors encounter and persisting program flaws.

First things first, @FEMA is part of the Department of Homeland Security. Here’s a blog I wrote about its history and shortcomings in how the agency is funded:

Many people will be applying for Individual Assistance (IA), but past disasters have shown us that help isn’t evenly distributed and frequently struggles to reach those in deepest need. This unpacks some of the class bias in accepted/rejected apps:

Of course, there are racial dimensions to this as well:

Documentation is seen as helping reduce fraud, but after a disaster many docs are destroyed. People who are denied assistance and appeal are often told to make small changes to the documents they provide or provide updated documentation b/c of how long the aid process takes.

WHY BABUR NEVER TRIED TO ATTACK SRI KRISHNADEVARAYA ?

A🧵u must read

It is very well known that Babur considered Krishna Dev Raya as the strongest ruler of the entire subcontinent, and Vijayanagar empire the strongest during that time in India.

1/10


The Vijayanagar empire reached its peak during 1509-1529 around the reign of Krishna Dev Raya.

Vijayanagar’s famed elephant brigade 👇

2/10


At his command there were over 50000 elite troops with a regiment of Portuguese gunners and 3200 cavalry with 600 elephants.

3/10

Along with that more than four hundred thousand ( four lakh) peasant levies and irregular military made this empire one of the largest in all of South Asia.

A typical Vijayanagar levie soldier 👇

4/10


During Baburs invasion, Krishna Dev Raya ruled supreme in all of deccan.

In fact, in an all our brawl, Krisha Dev Raya will beat Babur fair and square.

Babur could muster at max 50000 troops with 50 canons.

While Krishna Dev Raya had these numbers in Hampi alone

Shy people are either overthinking or highly observant of the social setting.

And in many cases it can be both.

'So what do I do?'

You learn the 75/25 law.

'What is that?'

The law of charisma...👇

Let's address the over thinkers first.

Do you have any idea why you overthink?

'Yea. Because others are judging how shy I am.'

Incorrect.

Others are thinking about themselves, not you.

But the fact that you think they are thinking about you, you fuck up the interaction.

Now you stay in your head too much & avoid the present moment.

A major no no in the social world.

Your tendency to think that others are judging you for being shy, coincidentally makes you more shy.

And that's when you start giving off a strange vibration to the social setting.

This is when you begin attracting comments like 'why are you so quiet?'
