July 30, 2024

As July winds down and August starts to roll in this week, I am in shock that I am still basically being held hostage at Fluvanna Correctional Center for Women. There is ZERO reason I am at this prison. I have no family, no proper medical care, and I continue to decline today with inflammation and pain all over me and a rash covering my arms that is unexplainable. I saw medical over the weekend and they said something completely different than medical did today. I literally just teared up from the pain and frustration.

 

I was eligible for community corrections last year, quite close to the time they shipped me here. One of the counselors did confirm to my lawyer John Kiyonaga the condition I arrived in: brutalized, sexually assaulted and beaten, and with no hospital care or a rape kit done. The truth will come out. Please, let me get to medical care and back to my children.

 

This place could be likened to the hunger games with all the brutality and violence lately. There is a girl in the ICU burn unit after an incident here that the media should look into. It is truly out of control here and I wish the feds would come in and take over. God Bless everyone and take care.
