The same thing is happening in too many prisons in USA, inmates and families are afraid of retaliation, and the abuse continue.

Spoke with someone who didn’t identify themselves. I used the script and they were very civil. Asked if I wanted to speak with someone or if I was just reporting it. I said I was just reporting it and hoped they’d relay the message for me.

My spouse was being treated horrible while at DeKalb the food was cold and being served out of an outdoor kitchen that failed inspection, they were not given 2000 calories, which means they were being starved in a matter of 2 months my spouse lost almost 40 lbs. They were made to share underwear and socks and was treated horribly. They were given the option to put in a grievance. Since it is a county jail and not a state jail a lot of the inmates have not been convicted of a crime, most are awaiting trail. The only thing that they have done wrong were they were accused by an officer which now because of modern technology are found often lying in an effort to get an arrest. The problem is that once you are being those bars the workers at the jail no longer see you as human and that should never be the case in any situation but it definitely should not be the case when you are just awaiting trial. The jail system is now a system that mirrors a kid-napping, people are held against their will , often not prosecuted of any crime only held there through an officers accusation (despite officers constantly showing their continued dishonesty) the families are in desperate need to contact them and can only do so an exuberant prices similar to that of a ransom. While there they are being mistreated and abused, again prior to being prosecuted of any crime. This is a disgusting unscrupulous practice and the system and process needs to be immediately revised.
