Journal Entry: Tamika R Cross-09/19/2024-We on lockdown at Alderson Federal Prison Camp

Journal Entry

Hey yall post and let everyone know what is going on at Alderson Federal Prison Camp in Alderson, West Virginia
1. They are restricting our movements and they have us on lockdown down and we cant leave the housing units.
2. They will not allow us to go to open house and get any BP9, Bp10, BP11 to write up the unit team, Warden or any staff on the compund.
3. They have taken commisary from us because 14 people was getting high. (Mind you I have been here for 7 months and people have been getting high everyday since I got here) They take them to ADMIN they past the drug test and then they send them back to the unit everyday. The new Warden I guess is trying to make a change but in here change she is punishing the other 800 women that are on the compound.
4. Today 9-19-24 we were refused food Breakfast and Lunch if we did not leave the unit during a 10 minute movement. They are turning the gas off in the CDR (cafeteria dining area) to install a new stove and because they are doing that we had to go down and get our breakfast and lunch at 6:45 am -6:55 am and my cube is the last cube in the back 48 last cube and I never heard any guards say you have 10 minutes to go get your food or you dont eat at all. I walked down the stairs 1 minute late and they refused to allow me to go down because they are trying to seperate the “A” builiding from the “B” building to stop the spread of drugs. (funny thing is they think the “A” building has all the drugs and they let all the “A” building out at one time and they probably just pass the drugs at that time.
5. They CDR workers that all went to work this morning all got stripped searched as they left work. They called all female guards to the admin today and they made them strip-search all the workers and they made them pull they pants down and they looked in their booty holes.
6. They are not allowing us to copy our legal mail or buy stamps off commissary and some of us like me have time-sensitive matters and are on deadlines to send out paperwork to court, regional, central and work on our commutation of sentences for the Pardon attorney.

Please let someone know about what is going on at Alderson I am in fear of my life at this point and they are turning A3 unit into a SHU segregated unit..no phones are emails
