To whom this may concern
On May 1 2020 I tested positive for Covid 19. I was placed in a quarantined area from May 1 through May 15. Heres the problem with this situation. I have been on B-Line Administrative Segregation since February 29, 2020. I only leave my cell for medical appointments. I get no outside recreation. I do have a cellmate. We have little to no contact with other inmates except TDCJ Institutional Division Correctional Officers here at the Eastham Unit. The only way I could have been infected with the corona virus was by or through contact with staff. O.K. You might be thinking well what about your cellmate? Did he have it? My cellmate was never tested that day and was left in the cell while I went into quarantine. Heres the ticker. I told the nurse in front of a Leutinent that I had a cellmate. Answer. She said dont tell anyone. The nurse for UTMB was Ms. Tay and the Lt. was Thorp. So if I was infected how come he wasn’t? Oh thats right. He did not get tested that day also. Shame on you, so to speak. Not only was I infected with a virus thats killing people left and right I have hepatitis C and Stage 2 kidney disease. I have been trying to get treatment for both of these. UTMB keeps saying Im fine. I have lots of documentation to prove facts. Try me! So they say my lab test results show Im o.k. I dont feel o.k. Sometimes my sides hurt and my legs feel like theres excess fluid I cant seem to get rid of. Sometimes they feel swollen or bloated. So I have chronic diseases. Youd think I could get treatment. I asked for Milk Thistle, supplements. UTMB Ms. Takusi said buy it on
Page 2
Commissary. Wait. I didn’t know I had to buy my own medication for a chronic disease. Then I asked for something the help my kidneys. Im told I have to get worse before I can get help for my kidney disease. Guess what. I didnt have kidney disease when I got incarcerated. Dont you think the hep C is causing other organ failures? Now that I was also a covid 19 survivor that the corona virus also is known to cause other organ damage, dont you think this has maybe made my liver and kidneys worse? I asked for an MRI on June 26 2020 during a medical appointment with Takusi. Oh Id have to be in serious condition to be approved for that. What the hell? So let me get this right. I have a poor immune system due to my hep C and kidney disease. I just got over Covid 19 infection. And I still cant get any treatment for my diseases that are chronic. No wonder people die in TDCJ due to medical problems. Get this. I even tried aking a Doctor Hasan for help. A damn Doctor for christs sake. Nothing. Did you know Kidney disease is progressive and incurable? Why would any medical personel allow someone with such a disease to get worse before helping? I also want to know how my lab tests are being analysed. How do they know I dont have Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis or something else that goes wrong with the kidneys? While Im looking at my Lab results I see this word or should I say abbreviation EGFR.
Page 3
Next to it are both Non-African American and African American. Well which one is gonna give me the best result because Im half Black and White. I’m biracial. I sure cant get anyone to explain what all the names of the results mean. So I had new lab tests done in May or early June. Cant remember. Im waiting for a copy of those results. But hey what do I know. They say Im ok. My sides still hurt. That fluid in my legs. Thats not suppose to be there. Its too much I know that much. And I dont believe any of the medical staff here actually got any degree or certificate from a real college campus where you actually learn something hands on. These people I swear took nothing but online courses and pulled their degrees and certificates out of cracker jack boxes. Maybe when I die and the do an autopsy will they realize hey he was actuAlly sick and needed treatment. Get this. Another one of their famous quotes is “Do You Know How Many People Have Kidney Disease and they don’t get help?”) “Lots of people and they are in the Free World.” What they hell is that suppose to mean? Anyway I thought that under the Eighth Amendment that I was entitled to medical care for serious medical Needs? Aren’t chronic conditions like diabetes, HIV, AIDS, hepatitis, epilepsy and hypertensen serious medical needs, for which I deserve medical attention and Care! Estelle v. Gamble, 429 U.S. 97 (1976). Listen to this. I have chronic back pain too. Something wrong with the L5-S1. I was prescribed Effexor for this. Is this right?
Page 4
Lets get back to Covid 19. These people here are not very smart. Before I can leave my cell I must be handcuffed. Guess what! Those same handcuffs are being used on all the other inmates. You know the machine they use to check my temperature and pulse? Its being used with all the inmates. Guess where they put me after I was released from quarantine? The same cell with my cellmate on D-Line. Horaay. Do you think the cell was sanitized? Hell no. Remember. My poor cellmate never left the cell. Would it be wrong if I said Im surrounded by real genusis? Geese fore-give me if I cant spell correctly. At least thank god I have a lot more common sense. When the TDCJ employees go home whos to say they dont come back infected showing no symptoms. Early this morning they pepper sprayed someone on one row. Guess what? All the fans are on. We all got gased. Would it have hurt to turn the damn fans off first? Well I think I wrote enough. Its not all, believe me, but enough for now. I just need to get some treatment for my hep C and kidney disease. By the way, When Takusi said on 4-23-20 that I can purchase milk Thistle from commissary she should have looked on my trust fund account to see if I have money and checked to see if Im on commissary restriction. I cant buy Milk Thistle you dummy! Im on commissary restriction. Yours Truly, Jason Wayne McBride
P.S. I will give consent to whoever wants to see my medical records or obtain copies. You can see all my request for medical assistance, etc.

Dear Sheltering Justice,
Hello my name is William Rex Beckam but everyone calls me Skittles. I’m an inmate on the price Daniel unit in the Texas Prison system. Today Warden number 02 and captain Hoover came in J1-building, C-wing and racked everyone up in there cells. When I asked why? Warden 02 said it’s A Precautionary lockdown until they get A inmates covid-19 test results back. When they racked everyone up 2 other inmates came forward saying that they were also sick. When they went to medial there tempatures were taken and both inmates had a fever. So medical sat them A room that was A/C until there tempature went down, then re-took there tempatures said they were fine and sent them right back to the wing. They didn’t do no Covid-19 testing and medical hasn’t been coming in here at all or taking anyone’s tempatures yet there are many people sick. Price Daniel unit is trying to sweep the sickness under the rug, All so they can look good and save money on testing. I don’t know if they even have the tests to do it or maybe their hands tied by those above them, I don’t know. I do know that it makes for A very unhealthy situation for all those here at this unit. Talk about one of the most uncaring acts I’ve seen in my 5 1/2 years of being incarcerated. I made parole on April 2nd and have been in changes 3 class since April 13th, which has to be finished before I can leave says my FI3R. Yet we have been getting packets in order to do so, well my teacher Ms. Greene has already messed up on my packets and now in order to fix it I was giving two Module 7 packets on 6-22-2020 which I finished. But when I went to school on 6-29-2020 Ms. Greene was suppost to take packet module 7 then take me to do my Resume for the module. But because she didn’t feel like it and plainly dont care she gave em back module 7 plus my two last packets of module 1 and said next week bring it back and ms. Campbell will help you do your Resume and collect your finished work. So because Ms. Greene put her job off
[page 2]
Ms. Campbell and I didn’t get to do my Resume and now we are on A precautionary lockdown I wont be able to leave my cell to do my Resume which should have been done already. I might not get to finish my changes 3 class for parole for who knows how long. Then with the prison not doing tests or tempature checks and by sending inmates back to there cells and trying not to act as if there not sick it could spread. The inmates who went to medical that are sick live in cells 212 and 213 and I’m next door in cell 214. I say that to let you know we share vents and breath the same air. Everything could lead upto me catching Covid-19 because of the very careless actions of those in charge. And because I can’t finish my class so I can get out and because medical and staff arent doing there jobs right. Its only going to get worse. How uncaring to me and my family on the outside, and to all the other inmates here on the price Daniel unit. This is what we are experiencing inside these walls while being incarcerated during the covid-19 pandemic. Uncaring people inside.
Much love & respect always
Skittles

“Hell Bound”
Covid 19, get out of this place
Pack up your bags and get out of my face
Leave here quickly, as fast as you came
Because of you, lives will never be the same
You have no feelings, for death is your goal
Your path of destruction, it really shows
People are scared of your cowardly attacks
The lives you took, we can never get back
Whether man, lady, girl, or little boy
The evil you bring, you seem to enjoy
But listen to me, and listen very well
I know you’re straight from the pits of hell
So pack up your bags and get ready to leave
Because your days are numbered, I do believe
For evil you are and evil you will return
Back to the pits of hell, where you will burn!

Interview with Raymon Pierce
Description
An account of the resource
Raymon Pierce is a CNA whose husband– at the time of this interview– has been incarcerated for eight years. In efforts to create a space for TDCJ information sharing and a support group for those with loved ones on the inside, Raymon created the Texas Connected: TDCJ Friends and Family Facebook group. In this interview, Raymon explains the pain and frustration with TDCJ that led to the creation of Texas Connected in early 2020, and how he hopes it provides a power to those advocating for incarcerated loved ones. As a healthcare worker, Raymon talks about the unsafe conditions in Texas prisons in the wake of Covid-19. Additionally Raymon also discusses his experience getting married to his husband at the Smith Unit, and the emotional toll that separation and limited contact have on him. This interview took place on July 2, 2020 over zoom, with interviewer Murphy-Anne Carter and narrator Raymon Pierce.

Description
An account of the resource
<span>Kambri Crews was raised in rural Texas by deaf parents with few resources. Crew's book, </span><em>Burn Down The Ground: A Memoir</em><span>, reflects on the experience of living with disabled parents who carry their own traumas. In telling her own story, she also explores the past of her alcoholic and abusive father who eventually ended up in a Texas prison for the attempted murder of his partner. Here, Crews talks to TAVP about what has happened in the 8 years since her book was published. She also speaks upon the fear of police within the deaf community due to deaf/hearing misunderstandings that often lead to brutality at the hands of the police.She reflects on her father's experience as a deaf man in a prison system that is unable or unwilling to accommodate him– despite a ravaging pandemic and continuing health problems. She talks specifically about his struggles with health while inside, including his reluctance to seek any medical treatment because of a distrust for the prison medical system. In July 2020, Crews's father passed away from terminal cancer.</span>

Interview with Andrea McCutcheon
Description
An account of the resource
Andrea McCutcheon’s fiance has been incarcerated since May of 2018. In this interview, Andrea discusses the difficulties her fiance has endured as an immunocompromised individual during COVID-19 and the neglect he faces in Texas prisons. Through consistent engagement with advocacy groups, social support networks, and –when possible– her loved one, Andrea is able to provide information on current situations involving programming, housing, and health protocols happening on the inside. She is one of many who deal with the extra frustration of having a loved one who is still inside despite having been found eligible for parole. Andrea speaks about her journey into advocacy and political action regarding conditions in Texas prisons. She is also involved in Texas Air-Conditioning Advocate and Texas Cares. She further discusses her fear of her fiance becoming infected with COVID-19 and losing his place in line for release. This interview was recorded on June 6, 2020 via Zoom with interviewer Murphy Anne-Carter and narrator Andrea McCutcheon.

Interview with Rhiannon
Description
An account of the resource
Rhiannon is a dedicated wife and mother who has been advocating for change and awareness of the impact that COVID19 has had within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice (TDCJ) and the Telford Unit. Rhiannon describes how TDCJ’s response to COVID has changed policies and procedures which have resulted in the neglect and maltreatment of people currently incarcerated. She shares her husband’s experience with such treatment, and describes the effects of prolonged lockdowns, scarcity of food and water, exposure to illness, and restrictions to communication with loved ones on the outside. Rhiannon emphasizes the importance of speaking out on behalf of her husband and other currently incarcerated people, most of whom face the possibility of retaliation for submitting grievances about the living conditions inside the unit.
Rhiannon also shares her perspective as a mother and wife, and describes the worries and challenges she overcomes to be able to support her husband and children. Rhiannon provides her experience with avenues of communication and visitation being restricted between her family and her husband, and the impact it's had on her children and grandchildren, who no longer have many opportunities to speak to her husband. Rhiannon also discusses the importance of fostering relationships and community with other families who also have a loved one who is incarcerated as a means of support and healing, and as a way to build solidarity while advocating for change.

Description
An account of the resource
<p>Micaela Rodriguez is a second-year student of social work and activist for dismantling systems of oppression, spurred by her studies and personal experiences. In this interview, Micaela describes how her identity as a Latina, her focus of study in social work, and a call to action inspired by the works of Ava DuVernay, Patrisse Cullors, and Angela Davis, have guided her current work in advocacy and restorative justice. </p>
<p>Micaela discusses how Ava DuVernay’s work left a lasting impact on how she understood the criminal justice system and its role in criminalization of Black and Latino communities. Micaela discusses her advocacy work with the Bail Project Hotline in the midst of COVID 19, as well as the general atmosphere of working in advocacy during a public health crisis in which mis- and dis-information ran rampant. Micaela also shares her advocacy work within her community at the University of Houston, noting the interwoven nature of social work practice and advocacy for civil rights and liberation. This interview was conducted virtually by Murphy Anne Carter on June 15th, 2020.</p>
