Previous occurances

This is stuff in the pass that has happened that I kept track of, im just adding on here. I am not putting in officer or inmate names, just occurrences.

Put out a small fire in December, Christmas day. Last month in March we had a inmate come back from the hospital unit after cutting his wrists. We put him in a cell, and as soon as he was uncuffed he ripped out all the stitches in his arm. He was bleeding into the toilet and sink, and it was going so freely it sounded like the water was dripping out of the faucet. When we finally managed to get him out he kept collapsing. Our hands got covered in blood etc, thank God we are supplied gloves. He lost gang money so he was trying to get moved to another unit by doing this, except it almost backfired and killed him.

Also, last week in Estelle Unit, in our highest security section for Texas, a officer got speared in the buttocks, and it exited through his testes. That just has to suck.

Month of October

A Polunsky death row inmate called a Texas senator and told him the doings of the unit for 2 weeks, then got pissed off and threatened him. The senator told the governor and a state-wide lockdown occurred. Every unit is being shaken down real well, and 5 days into it 93 cell phones and accessories have been found. Officers get pat searched, cars are searched and etc. Some officers who have been caught include a lady who had a cell phone in her hair and a officer with a cell in a subway sandwich.

Month of September

Offender was found with a 2 foot shank made from part of his locker under his mattress. Told rank it was meant for a officer but wouldn't say who. Hurricane Ike hit, lost power for 5 days and had a blast during it. Also a escape at Stickyune (sp) Unit down south, didn't get caught till october.

Month of August
August has been fairly quiet for 3rd shift, one fight happened between two inmates in a dayroom but ended quickly. On the night of the 22nd we had a hanger on A3 we had to respond to, bit of a run there. The fool was at first faking it, but then lost his balance and then really WAS hanging. We got him cut down and on a gurney and a ambulance took him up to Huntsville med for rest of the night. Officer in Michaels Unit, Seg got a inmate out for shower and wound up being shanked 17 times. Last heard was on life support.

Month of July

A inmate collapsed in the hallway, puking and shitting on himself. When he began puking blood he got life lighted to Bryan. Turns out a virus has appeared called the Nora virus, and at end of the month 300 inmates sick and a few officers. Been in quarantine since the first, and it continued into August.

Month of June
Got chunked on on the 29th with water on A3 1 row, just started tossing stuff out for no reason.

Month of May
Work has been interesting because the inmates are really restless, and the Aryan Brotherhood of Texas got caught planning a massive riot/breakout. They found weapons, escape tools, lists of boss schedules and how the day is broken down, boss and supervisor names and what vehicles they drove, maps of the unit, parking lot, and huntsville. They were realy serious cause there were lists of all 1st shift officers saying who was going to be hostages and who were going to be killed right off.
