Hello,
I am 60 years old. This is my fourth time in prison in 40 years.
This prison is on the far north coast where there’s a great climate, but I’ve been in for 7 weeks, all of which have been in segro (solitary confinement), which is south facing and has forced air-conditioning – even the yard doesn’t get any sun!
I had no money for the June activity buy-up, and just enough to order thermal underwear (bottom/top) and a beanie for the July activity buy-up. Then I was told it wouldn’t arrive till the end of August! Winter will be over!
I’ve made numerous requests. Everything from asking for second-hand thermals, help from the Salvos, and for my loved ones to drop off a pair. Apparently, family dropping off clothing is a thing of the past.
I cannot express how extremely cold I am – it all just falls on deaf ears. I’m sure I’ve read that cold exposure is a low-level torture technique.
Yours sincerely,
Billy
