Text Any textual data included in the document Page 1 6-27-2020 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. Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

She wrote for the state prison newspaper, The Echo, for over ten years, and as a freelance writer she has published work with The Texas Observer, The Marshall Project, and the Guardian. In this interview, Toon offers a personal perspective on how her lived experiences influence her current journalism and advocacy. She discusses how important it is for peer support to come from actual peers, highlighting the concept of “nothing for us without us.” The specific issues she touches on include nuances of the female experience behind bars, the familial community built during her years there, and the irreplaceable importance of maintaining connections to the outside while locked inside. Toon also outlines the most pressing objectives she hopes to highlight during COVID. She can speak directly to the ways that the virus has escalated injustices happening in prisons because of her close contact to many of those still incarcerated. (Line break) Despite the atrocities that she is regularly hearing and writing about, Toon offers the optimistic perspective that hardships can be shaped into tools to help self or others. In this interview, and throughout all her writings, Toon maintains positivity without denial of how severely problematic the system can be.
