 I got moved to WWRC last week. If I didn't, I'd be dead. I was on the verge of killing myself or staff killing me and making it look like an accident. I got put on ozempic right away for my  diabetes; they are tending to my feet issues, my skin issues.I’m  signed up for haircut, late night snack, foot soaks.  Food is so much better and servings are ample. They offer shampoo, conditioner, lotion, carmex, over the counter  meds, bandages, colorful plastic paper clips. We played games today and I won prizes. I won toothpaste and hair conditioner. I met with the chaplain and she gave me a brand new Catholic Bible and a Prayer in the Spirit Catholic book of prayer and how to pray the rosary with the Rosary. No one else on the women's units are Catholic but she said she can call a Catholic priest in to do communion and confession and the holy sacrament with me. No one is left out here. Medical doesn't charge us co-pays for any Med visits. I got a large mess in my neck and had a CT scan and ultrasound and I'm waiting on a biopsy now.  Iit's a 3.3 cm Mass. I'll keep you posted. They threw away all your mail I had. Everything. So can you please send me both your last ffup newsletters? I've been spreading the word like crazy. My aunt Donna Matthews wrote you. Please write her. She has a lot to tell you. I can't  believe the extreme  difference in here and TCI. A little nurture goes a long way. They are saving lives here. hope you are well, Hubby too. 

Much love, my dear friend

Hi my name is Carrie Metz. #350814-- I am incarcerated at the Taycheedah Correctional Center. I have 16 months left to do. I have one son. Carson is almost 9 years old on Dec.16. His birthday is right before Christmas so he doesn't really get much of a birthday. He's been thru a lot. He has two heart defects, and we lost both of my parents during covid. And his dad got out of prison and took him away from my sister and her family....the only home he ever knew, when he was taken front them his whole world was shattered. He's had severe depression and anxiety since. His dad forces medication on his tiny little body that makes him dizzy and confused and I have no control over it. I'm so ashamed to not be with him. I'm not an addict of any kind and I'm college educated. I just let the wrong men encourage to do not so savvy things, thinking that's love. His dad included. Now he dates my best friend and plays house with my son is struggles every day to have positive days. I feel horrible. and his dad combines Christmas and his birthday so basically his birthday is cancelled out every year. I just would like him to have a great birthday and the two days to clearly be separate. He's such a good little boy. He's tall and skinny,

and he has blonde hair, green eyes and big ol' glasses. He just wants to be loved and acknowledged and not used as a pawn by his dad. If anyone can help I'd truly appreciate it. The things he's asked for, and I'm not sure on any details, prices or location of products:

• Lego sets

• Nike outfits

• some kid digital camera at Walmart for $25

• flute w/ case

• Squish-mello stuffed animals

• Sky Viper drone

• Stitch Crocs size 5 ( Lilo & Stitch movie)

• Minecraft jammie sets size 8/10 boys

• tall book shelf with lots of shelves- he's a huge book fan and loves to read and asked for a book shelf to display all his books. Nothing fancy. Anything will be fine

• Pokemon Litebrite

• K-nects toys

Anything can help. He's such a good boy and will be blessed with anything. Please help and God bless.....Merry

Christmas

Metz  is Native American and has alerted me to may wrongs at TCI, she tries to keep in touch with her  small child. One of the concerns she alerted us to the fact that prisoner  without money or  support have to walk the long track to HSU several times a day to get their medicine no matter how cold it is. They are not allowed to wrap blankets around themselves and do not have the required warm garb -s o either go cold or skip meds.

The second issue is that there are no windows that open in TCI and most prisoners have no fans.

So winter or summer, these women are suffering, we need to act.

Hey u....what's been going on? Haven't heard from u in a while. I hope all is well. Its the same ole same ole here. A lot of changing faces as far as higher up staff go. We still are restricted almost every weekend from any movement because of staff shortages. Which is nuts because they hired so many more staff but I realized this isn't by accident. They are purposely reducing staff on weekends to save money because now they hire these 18 year old correction officers straight out of high school with absolutely no training what so ever and pay these pukes $33 an hour starting pay. And we still get $4 every two weeks. If we're lucky enough to not owe the courts which isn't often. But the shampoo and conditioner they sell is $6.50 each. Suave products. So its getting really hard to survive around here. I just want to get the heck out of here. Well hopefully I hear back from u. Xo
