Denis Rivera

Hi, hello I’m Dennis Rivera, state number at Red Onion State Prison Virginia, is 1125686, and I’m calling on behalf, of all Spanish prisoners. They retaliating, they harassing, discriminating us, not providing us with showers right, especially going on an eight break morning shift with guards G. Miller or Young, Johnson, in the supervision of Sergeant Deel. They’re not saying we’re not going to — we’re not doing strip search procedure correctly, but that’s incorrect. Everybody’s doing it correctly. They just denying recs and showers without even providing us — not coming to our cell doors and giving the opportunity for us to go out. They’re just automatically just canceling every rec and shower. And they doing this in discrimination, retaliation for what has transpired in the past months, especially at Wallens Ridge, some incident that happened there with some gang members, and even we’re not part of gangs, they still doing this.

And this needs to stop, this abuse needs to stop, they’re macing guys. They’re going put them on strip cells for no reason. And we hope that this can go to the use of a lot of people, because we need the help. We actually need the help. Red Onion is; everybody knows Red Onion State Prison, and all they do is subject us to torture, to cruel and inhumane punishments, conditions, and we follow everything that we can; every rules, every regulation, follow everything protocol that we need to follow, but it doesn’t matter what we do, they just continue to do this, and we need the help. Thank you very much.
