This month makes 17 months that I’ve been incarcerated. I’ve was placed at FCI Tallahassee and have been here and will leave here next month. The things I’ve witnessed at this institution is astounding. Right now there are budget concerns over medication and poor food quality. They have no doctor and only 2 NP’s with one of the NP’s that has to go to the jail first and foremost. I’ve seen the doctor one time since my arrival; labs were drawn April 2024. There is a wait list for sick call unless it’s a real emergency. There is a lady in my unit that hurt their knee/hip over the weekend and there was no medical staff here to see her. The x-ray machine is broken. There is no dentist on staff. There are rats in the kitchen and the food is substandard. There are issues daily and there doesn’t seem to be an end in sight. The staff doesn’t want to work and when they do they are disrespectful and have no desire to help when needed. More people need to speak out about what happens within these walls/fences. But people are afraid of retaliation.
