terror within the prison within a prison here at New Jersey State Prison:
the infamous Management Control Unit (MCU).........<br>
<br>
Welcome to the Terrordome, here's my tale of terror..............<br>
<br>
On Friday morning August 31st, 2007, around 9:45am, I returned to the
Management Control Unit cell block, called #4-B-Right, after a 2 hour
outside group recreation period with 8 other MCU prisoners.<br>
<br>
Around 10:45am, 2 armed security guards showed up at the cell #21 with a
sergeant and told me to put both of my hands through the porthole to be
handcuffed because I was being moved downstairs to #2-B-Left, which is
another section of the MCU.<br>
<br>
I am escorted from #4-B-Right to #2-B-Left via the elevator. I enter
#2-B-Left and was placed in cell #1, one of the 2 close watch cells
monitored by cameras mounted on the cell doors outside. These 2
cells/cages are without sitting stools and shelves.<br>
<br>
The light switches, the wall sockets have steel plates welded over them.
The steel frame bed-rack is bolted to the floor. The cells consist of
stainless steel toilets and sinks and one dirty uncovered foam mattress.
The white lights inside the two cell cages stay on 24 hours a day.<br>
<br>
As I enter cell #1, I look up to see that the back wall and both side
walls of the cage are covered with long streaks of dry human blood. I
turn around to face the cell/cage door and see 2 ten inch long streaks of
dry human blood on the cell door window. I looked over into the stainless
steel sink to see dry spots of human blood in the sink and to look down
at the cage floor to see dry spots of human blood on it.<br>
<br>
Around 2:10 pm, the second shift Lieutenant was escorting the social
worker through #2-B-Left and I stopped him to inquire about why I was
moved down to #2-B-left and why was I placed in this human blood drenched
cell and turned to point out the blood covered walls.<br>
<br>
He responded by saying he could see the streaks of blood on the cell door
window and he did not know why I was moved down to #2-B-left and why I
was placed in the cell and he would try to find out why.<br>
<br>
The Lieutenant called somebody and he came back to tell me that the
Warden, Michelle R. Ricci gave the order for me to be moved down to
#2-B-left but he still could not tell me why I was moved.<br>
<br>
Around #:10 pm on the 31st of August, i was moved from cell #1 to cell
#5. Around 7:30 pm that night, one of #2-B-Left's security guards
escorted 2 prisoners from the prison's general population into the steel
fenced in area of cells 1 to 6 so they could clean up the dry human blood
splatered around cell 31.<br>
<br>
They were wearing white jumpsuits, white rubber gloves and face masks.
They also were carrying red plastic waste bags and plastic bottles of
yellow bleach.<br>
<br>
After my forced 6 hour stay in that human blood stained cell, I was not
given a change of clothing or afforded the opportunity to take a shower.
After I moved into cell #5, I washed my boots down with soap and
water.<br>
<br>
I was told by prisoners locking next to me that cell #1 had been in that
human blood stained condition for over a month after a prisoner cut
himself up in his quest to commit suicide.<br>
<br>
Cell #1 should have been "sanitized" before I or any other
human being was placed in there.<br>
<br>
MCU prisoners with congregate status are afforded the opportunity to
partake in the below listed activities if they desire to do so:<br>
<br>
1. Outside recreation every other day for 2 hours in groups.<br>
2. Inside night time quiet recreation for 1 hour whenever scheduled.<br>
3. Eating out of the cells in groups of 6 every 4th day or just coming
out of the cell to pick up your tray.<br>
4. Haircuts.<br>
5. Meeting with counselors and classes.<br>
6. Having the portholes adjacent to the cell door open 24 hours a
day.<br>
<br>
I am the only MCU prisoner down here on #2-B-Left who has congregate
status and I cannot participate in the above listed activities because
the prisoners on #2-B-Left do not have classified congregate approval. i
have not violated any of these rules...................<br>
