First, they sold drugs, cell phones, and other illegal contraband. These officers had formed this gang back in the 1990s, and they were known for several things. Next thing he told me was how there are groups of officers who were known as the Red Bandanas and the Blue Bandanas.
TDC INMATE LOOK UP FULL
Also, the place was full of drugs and cell phones and almost anything else you could think of or imagine. Of course, that means peanut butter sandwiches for however long the Captains, Major, or Wardens decided. This lockdown could last from a few days to months. And even though there were two sides to the prison unit, North and South, and even though each side has all of its own chow hall, commissary, showers, and rec yard, that if something happened on either side, both sides would get put back on lockdown. He said that the different groups were having trouble and they’d just come off a lockdown. First thing he said was that it was filled with gang members. That evening, I met up with my friend on the rec yard, and he began to explain what all was happening at the Estelle Unit. After a few minutes small talk, he told me to go outside for rec that night and he’d give me the lay of the land for my new prison.
TDC INMATE LOOK UP FREE
And next, I heard my name called, and a guy I knew from the free world sits down next to me. I then saw that there were inmates in all directions speaking with their hands and realized that these were deaf people all around. If they were blind, they would ask them if they wanted tea or water, pour a cup and leave them at that point to take care of themselves. As the handicapped prisoners reached the serving line, there were prisoners who would take their food tray and sit them at a table. I finally made it to the chow hall, and I saw that one section of the room was strictly for inmates with disabilities. Next, I saw there were wheelchairs and walkers by the dozens. I turned out and left for our dining hall with my cell block.Īs I walked down this long corridor, one of the first things I noticed was that there were blind people everywhere not just a few, but every place I looked. Within a short time, our cell doors opened, and I heard chow call. After going through my little classification routine they give each new prisoner, I was moved to my cell block. I was moved there right at the beginning of summer, and I was not really aware of what kind of place this was. There are people that live in the geriatric wings, not all of them elderly, but most prisoners live inside the building in cell blocks. This means it contains a maximum security prison, but it also has a hospital connected to the main building that services the geriatric population. The Estelle is what the TDCJ calls a medical/prison unit. It’s called the Estelle Unit, and it’s located in Huntsville, Texas. But of all of them, one of these places has stuck out the most. Through these years, I have been moved to many different prisons, and each place I could never begin to explain some of the things I’ve seen. I’ve been gathering material for more than a decade to write my book about the TDCJ. And, I have seen the best in people, both from guards and prisoners. I have seen the worst in people, both from guards and prisoners. While some of this is true, I’m sure, it’s also true that almost no one who hasn’t been incarcerated has any real understanding or inclination of prison life.
People in general I believe, have a mindset of what goes on in here. So many things can happen inside a prison system.
