Another avenue of infection has arisen.  And with that, I would like to introduce today’s podcast: Dirty Mattresses.  I found out that in October of 2018, the Uptown People’s Law Center investigated the unsanitary conditions of IDOC and filed a lawsuit.  Check out this transcript for the link to the lawsuit.  Unsanitary mattresses were among the several issues raised.  My father told me that the Illinois Department of Corrections issues mattresses to prisoners upon arrival.  Some of these mattresses are currently twenty-five years old, maybe older, and filled with horse hair.
