Hi. My name is Krystal Denise Clark. My inmate number is 435064. I’m in WHV [Women’s Huron Valley Correctional Facility], the Valley of Death. This is beyond the Valley of Death. This is terrible. It’s just sad. You know, I try to do everything they ask me to do. I have been doing everything they asked me to do. Like, just sad, like, I just, I don’t even know where should I start?
Like, on Easter Sunday, Lieutenant, I think his name, Johnson, yes, walked up on me talking crap, took me to seg, for no reason, locked me in a shower with feces, piss. It was terrible. For almost four hours, I sat in that shower, locked in. Then they tell me I had to use the bathroom. I had to be chained up to use the bathroom. But, this is unacceptable what they doing. The truth is being told out what they is doing, so now they are retaliating against me. It’s very obvious they are and I’m not going to stop this. It’s going to make me fight, keep me stronger and fight stronger because this is not right what they doing to me.
Then, they took my wheelchair, knowing I need my wheelchair, took a lot of my things, knowing I need this stuff, telling me to walk. I do walk. I use my walker. I walk every day. My legs, my ankles, is so swoll. My hands are so swollen. When I walk so far, I got WPW [Wolfe-Parkinson-White syndrome], my heart condition, my heart race, my chest is killing me. Like this is, this is sad. I’m so tired, like I’m tired of these people.
Friday some people came in here to see me. I get stopped by the lady who do the hearing [unclear] and give us the pagers; stopped me talking about “What you doing in that wheelchair?” I said, “Because I need this chair. I need my chair. I can’t walk this far, all the way over here.” She like, “I’m telling, um, Director Jones, who took that chair from you? I’m telling on her, I’m telling on you.” I’m like, “You telling on me?” I’m like, “Okay.” like, like, this is unacceptable. Like, they just like, they lurk on me, telling everybody not to let me use a chair and everything.
It’s just so much going on in this place. The government — Holly Washington, she don’t reach out to people. I know a lot of people been writing her because they wrote me and told me, “I write her.” This is just, this is wrong. They are trying to kill me in here. I know what they trying to do. My heart, I feel it. I can see it. It’s obvious. They really is trying to kill me in here. You want me to do so much things that I can’t do. I try to do stuff, but I can’t do so much stuff at a time. Y’all not helping me. Y’all not sending me on my med runs. I had to have a heart monitor. Y’all still ain’t gave me that yet, something y’all have to get that, I haven’t started one for my ears. I haven’t started….it’s just crazy. What they doing to me,
like this, this is wrong.
This is wrong. The warden, he’s very worried, the warden’s assistant, he is, he is so rude. Like, you can’t even talk to this man. This man is terrible. Like, I’m just asking for everybody to please continue on doing what they doing for us, fighting for us. We really need it. I really need it. I’m trying to stay strong. It’s so hard, but I got to stay strong. But..
