Chest, One Rightabove His Heart, Burst Open. It Starts As Clear
Pink Blood, Only To Be Followed By Green And Yellow Pus And A
Gapping Hole. I Have Taken Several Photographs Of His Past Infections That He Recieved At San Quentin Shortly After His Arrival At San Quentin, And It Seems That It Continues To Reoccurr
Even With Antiboctics That Are Being Prescribed By His Private

jessica23 05-05-2004, 11:42 PM Oh, Suzi, I'm so sorry about that. My guy hasn't siad anything about being other than in good health, but any help you need just ask. I just read about the lack of preventative measures about TB at Soledad - apparently one guy brought it in, not a lot was done to keep him isolated, now they have 148 cases and it's spreading like wildfire. God - don't we have enough to worry about???
Eric's Homegirl 05-06-2004, 04:14 PM Hell yes, but CDC could give to chits about California inmates. And ya know the funny
and sad part about this is if they didn't have inmates, they wouldn't have guards making a mint off of the taxpayers here in California and we wouldn't have any prisons.
virgo1977 05-06-2004, 06:44 PM I am behind you 100%. Let me know if there is anyhting that i can do. Myboyfriend also has told me about his self and others while he was in the prison who were having problems with staph infections. They are potentially dangerous if they aren't taken care of in the right manner

Hi it's Stefanie again I have another question, I am looking at all the threads and i saw this one you wrote, do you know if it is still a problem at san quentin? can i help in any way?
FieldsofGold 11-29-2004, 08:08 AM In answer to your response to the majority of inmates at SanQuentin who have
come in contact with something called a spider bite, Spider bite my azzzzz
as being paroled from that sick and disgusting prison, I contracted Staph Infection while on West Block, commonly known as Reception. There are so many people infected with Staph Infection in the overflow " gym" alone, that have had to wait weeks and weeks before anyone would take them seriously that something was wrong on their skin, it isn't funny. Staff, that's medical staff and the guards will tell you, it looks like a spider bite, therefore it is a spider bite. I have several nasty looking scars now on my chest, backside, and
legs. All for something that could have been prevented if the prison had taken
the right precautions. I got my second issue of the contact news the other day,
and sadly it is true that Staph is widespread in all prisons in the USA. You would
think that the prisons would take this infectous diease seriously, and you would
think that they would want to disinfect the entire prison to prevent this from spreading to one after another, yet, they don't. You ask for cleaner to clean
your cell, they give you a bucket of dirty water and a disinfectant that has
been passed around in every cell, and they expect that this will ward off and
fight and get rid of the infection itsself. Bull hockey. It just passes it again
and again and again. Homegirl when she was still with us, went as far as to
call the media in San Francisco and raise hell, what did they do? Not a damn
thing. As for the prisons and the media, the prisons act as tho, this is normal,
and then of course deny any wrong doing. Just as when California elected
Governor Schawanegger to clean up the prisons here in CA, has it been done?
Hell no, and the reason's being you can't clean up the distruction of someone
else's mess. Sure you can get the word out that Ca prisons are infected with
Staph, but that's about all you can do.
