Marlin Texas Hobby Unit
First hand acknowledgement about Hobby Woman Unit in Marlin Texas, poor air circulation, medical care and service and poison water. In 2003 I was introduce to Hobby Hotel know as 76661 the hell pit. As stated in my research First hand, information and information from inmates that has been document in court filing. Hobby Unit was a place inmate died or wanted to die by the hands of other are taking their own lives. The prison were overcrowded and understaffed it was known that the staff did not care what happen to the inmates. The Staff were there just to get a paycheck. The officer would write violation "Case" against the inmate just because or should I say they have power over the inmate. Having cases against you would cause you to lose you commissary rights, your visitation rights and causing you to be lock down in single or a two men cell. These cells were a hell holds no air circulation no medical treatment inmate die because of the treatment of the justice system.
The custody levels were close and middle. If you were in closed custody you would only come out your cell for a shower and you would be handcuff tell you were lock into a shower. It was like an animal shelter there were not quite moment in that place. The only time the officer would come into the cellblock were to feed or if they were force to assistant. If the inmate needed medical attention or help from beaten to death by another inmate or hanging themselves, the officers would not open the door to the cell tell higher-ranking officer with a video camera was there. We are talking about human not animals. Inmates are being treated as if they were animals. Inmates were getting sick from the water that were causing life threaten illness, if the water or inadequate medical treatment did not kill them. There were reports of other inmates, officer or inmates taking their own life. It was just a normal day at Hobby Hell. Hobby Unit, women's facility in Texas. The problem

    They were living in their own filth. They had only one spot to shower or bathe, go to the bathroom, or get drinking water, and it was from the stream that ran through the prison. This stream pretty quickly was contaminated due to the filth that the prisoners put in the water. People still went in and drank the water though because there was nowhere else they could go to do that. This caused thousands of prisoners to become sick with several different diseases such as dysentery and scurvy which would end up being one of the major causes of the high mortality rate in Andersonville. The standard of living in this prison was, quite obviously, extremely low. The commander of the Andersonville prison camp, Henry Wirz, claimed that he had put out several requests to the government to get more food and better living conditions at the camp but this request never ended up being fulfilled. Even outside of the stream everything was filthy and overcrowded. The prisoners had no other choice but to act like animals and so they…

    Stephen C. Richards, an ex-convict who served time in nine federal prisons before earning his PhD in criminology, argues the supermax prison era began in 1983 at USP Marion in southern Illinois, where the first “control units” were built by the Federal Bureau of Prisons. The Marion Experiment, written from a convict criminology perspective, offers an introduction to long-term solitary confinement and supermax prisons, followed by a series of first-person accounts by prisoners—some of whom are scholars—previously or currently incarcerated in high-security facilities, including some of the roughest prisons in the western world. According to Richards, the act of holding children in solitary confinement has been a fundamental component in the process…

    While on death row at Kilby prison, on the very date originally set for their own executions, they watched as another inmate was carried off to unsoundproofed death chamber adjacent to their cells, then listened to the sounds of his electrocution. Once or twice a week they were allowed to leave their tiny cells, as they were handcuffed and walked a few yards down the hall to a shower. An early visitor found them "terrified, bewildered" like "scared little mice, caught in a trap."(LINK TO UNPUBLISHED 1931 RANSDALL REPORT). They fought, they wrote letters if they could write at all, they thought about girls and life on the outside, they dreamed of their executions. As their trial date approached, they were moved to the Decatur jail, a rat-infested facility that two years earlier had been condemned as "unfit for white…

    Back then conditions in jail were appalling, especially the Wall Street Jail. Men and women, adults and children, thieves and murderers were all jailed in the same nasty disease-ridden pens. Rape and robbery occurred often. Jailors hardly cared at all for their prisoners or their well being. They would sell their prisoners alcohol, up to almost twenty gallons of it in one day’s time. Food, heat, and/or clothing could only be bought at a price. Quite often prisoners would die from cold or starvation. A group of apprehensive citizens, who called themselves the Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons, decided that this could not go on anymore. Their proposition would change the future for the way prisons were ran…

He died as a result of the brutal treatment administered by a lumber company boss to whom he was leased. The prison system of the 1800's and the early 1900's was based on cruel and inhumane treatment. Punishment was very tragic.

    In a close security prison, offenders housed here are an escape/flight risk, they have histories of assaults, and an offender may be held there because of other charges pending for a different law enforcement agency, the offenders in this prison never leave to do anything outside of the prison and they are supervised 24 hrs a day by a correctional officer (“State Prisons,” 2013). These prisons are usually set up with single cells but have been doubled, they are divided into cell blocks that can be in one building or multiple buildings, they have remote controlled cell doors and every cell has its own plumbing fixtures (sink & toilet). The outside of the prison consists of a double fence, armed guards in the watch towers, and sometimes with armed moving patrols, often there is a third fence placed in the middle equipped with lethal electrical voltage. Inmates are permitted release from their cells for work or to join corrective programs within the prison (De Maille, 2007).…

    Stuart Grassian has completed a distinguished declaration of his research and views of solitary confinement. It claims that solitary confinement can cause severe psychiatric harm. The harm comes from restricted environmental and social stimulation. In some severe cases, it can be associated with agitation and self-destructive behavior. Garrison took part in a class action lawsuit, Libby v. Hogan. During this time, he analyzed the conditions of solitary confinement at the maximum security State Penitentiary in Walpole, Massachusetts. He learned that over half of the population reported a progressive inability to tolerate ordinary stimuli, one third were described as hearing voices, and over half suffered severe panic attacks. In regards to paranoia, almost half of the prisoners reported paranoid and persecutory fears. Almost half of the prisoners reported episodes of loss of impulse control with random violence; they would lose control over insensible events. Repeated patterns of such cognitive dysfunctions are further proof the inmates are losing control as a result of being put into solitary confinement. (Grassian…
