Statement from United Lumpenproletarians from Within
>June 1st, 2009 (Butner, North Carolina) - The sanitary conditions in the dining halls, bakery, freezers, dish room stock room, serving line and other areas within Polk Correctional's kitchen are appalling. Inmates voice their concerns to an unresponsive administration and continue to suffer from their lack of concern for the health of the inmate population.
>A rat infestation is only the first and most prevalent of a long list of problems stemming from an environment where amateurism and incompetence prevail. This can be seen when an inmate finds a rodent, or evidence of one, in the food and his overseer - in one particular case a Mr. Covington - told him "What the h* do you want me to do about it?" We merely wish for you - or apparently someone else with higher qualification for the position - to do their job. Inmates will no longer tolerate an administration which, in a bout of penny-pinching due to a cash-starved Department of Corrections, sweeps their problems under a rug. We will no longer accept this as a fact of prison life. Gone are the days when an inmate greivance form was the only effective means to make the necessary changes occur. (Which was more often than not a hit or miss process for justice in these matters, and that was if the paperwork did not eventually become "misplaced" or "fall through the cracks" as one Sargeant commented on an unrelated matter involving paperwork.)
