My Covid-19 Pandemic Experience in Prison -

What we all feared has begun to take place. We've been ordered into our cells. We are to remain on lock-down status until further notice. That was the written statement conveyed unto us this morning by the prison staff. Prison staff who is not wearing any masks or protective gear to prevent the spreading of the virus.
   It's ironic to experience this pandemic under the extreme duress of confinement. For the simple fact, that we, as prisoners, are not allowed to socialize with one another, nor with anyone in the free world, in order to minimize the contraction of the virus; nevertheless, the same prison staff who are coming into the prison from the free world have begun to prepare and serve our meals, handle our medication, handle our mail, etc, maximizing the potential of anyone of us contracting the virus from a staff member. As it recently happened at FCI-Oakdale, Louisiana, killing off one inmate. In a way we are all sitting ducks.
   I don't know if President Trump and his task force are aware of this. Although, the President has passed the Cares Act, which include federal inmates, we cannot take advantage of it, due to its bureaucratic process; for if one was to request an immediate release, due to the high morbidity covid-19 risk factors, it would take up to several months to complete.
   In reality, we are at the mercy of our captors. If any one of us contract the virus, he is isolated along with his cell-mate in an 8 by 12 prison cell without adequate medical attention. The 22 years I have served so far behind prison walls, would not compare to the agony of dying alone in such a horrid place of hopelessness. Pray for me. Pray for those who are with me. That's pretty much all that can be done at this time.  #freedwinrubis
