We are being fed on old trays that have old food stuck to it, meaning we are being fed on dirty trays.

We are being denied dayroom and recreation privileges/rights and other things as well.

And since this COVID-19 era, the “Secretary of the State” (Mark Inch) and “JPay” have been giving each Florida inmate 1-free collect call a week, 1-video gram a week, and 4-free emails a week…but for some strange reason, they have deactivated my phone account since last year and is refusing to…
