Holiday Book Drive

“Thank you , it is SO good to have books”

Its amazing what a simple used $5 novel can do.  For its desperate times in our COVID hotspot jail.  Most sections are locked down, meaning women and men often spend 20 hours or more locked in their cages.  Its mass solitary confinement endangering everyone’s health and sanity.  After freedom now, persons inside most often ask for books.  Science fiction, novels of every description,  history books, dictionaries, large print bibles and Korans.  The joy they bring is incalculable:

“Having crossword books is wonderful… I get to actually engage my brain and think! It is a mindless sad existence here… thank you again”

Please help us respond to these requests.  The requests are numerous, and for $15 we can often send three $5 used novels from discount bookstores.

Lies the Sheriff and County Exec Tell Us

Action Alert: BC Jail is an official Hotspot

December 4, 2020

Just an hour after a related posting on the lies the Sheriff and County Executive have been telling the press about the lack of COVID in the jail, it is now a “hotspot” according to a reports in the local press.

Here is what we hear:

“People look like death warmed over”

20 people in the section that does the cooking, cleaning and laundry for the whole facility have tested positive

Women (yes women!) have been impressed to do the cooking instead

At least 5 sections are in lock down, meaning grim solitary for everyone

Persons inside do not report being sick because they don’t get treatment, only solitary and punishment

COs are afraid too, with reports of ill family members increasing

the supply of masks, once twice a week if a friendly officer was on duty, have dwindled

no one is cleaning any more given the closure of H pod

access to phone calls in some sections (pods) has been cut off to prevent leakage of information

It is clear the Sheriff, County Executive, and County Legislature have been engaged in a coverup.

When will local residents intervene? When will the Governor?
