    Climate change is predicted to increase the frequency of potentially hazardous heat conditions across the United States, putting the 2 million incarcerated people at risk for heat-related health conditions. Texas and Florida accounted for 52% of total exposure despite holding 12% of all incarcerated people.
    JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge, in UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, -v- GUSTAVO CHAVEZ, … the Metropolitan Detention Center (“MDC”) in Brooklyn — has had its share of problems. In winter 2019, a power outage left inmates without light or heat for a week while a polar vortex swept the East Coast.
    Extreme heat can be deadly, or harsh winter weather can result in viruses spreading rapidly due to the proximity of AIC (Adults In Custody).·      If you have a medical condition that puts you at higher risk, it is important to document this in the PSR, where Compassionate Release through the Second Look Act may become necessary.·      Climate Change, Extreme Heat in Prisons, and then the cumulative dangerous effect for those taking these medications:·      Antidepressants (1. SSRIs increase sweating, increasing the risk of dehydration; 2. Tricyclic antidepressants, or TCAs, may decrease sweating, making it harder to cool off),·      Anticholinergics, CNS Depressants, Heart Meds, Anti-Psychotics, and Insulin.

    Playing sports is a therapeutic way to ease the pain of where you are. Just don’t go crazy and get a sports-related injury, as medical care in prison will not be like you’re used to at home.Possible fracture or dislocation could take days – weeks, or longer to get an X-ray (or CT scan or MRI)The Second Opinion could take up to three years, but the BOP is not required to follow its medical specialists' recommendations.An ankle sprain or hairline fracture (which can’t be seen on an x-ray for approximately two weeks) could, at best, get you Motrin, Tylenol, or Aspirin.Play sports, and just be smart about everything you do in prison.If you get injured and feel you are not getting the basic care, the BOP encourages using The Administrative Remedy Process.To engage my services or to have your concerns answered, Call me Today at 240.888.7778.

  • FEDERAL PRISON CAMP (FPC) vs. SATELLITE CAMP, FMC, USP, and Camps
    #BOP, #PSR, #WhiteCollar, #lawyer, #prisonlife, #federalprison,
    Security Levels
    Minimum Camps
    Minimum-security institutions known as Camps have dormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited perimeter fencing. These institutions are work—and program-oriented, and many are located adjacent to larger institutions or on military bases, where inmates help serve the labor needs of the larger institution or base.
    Satellite Camps: These are associated with higher security institutions.
    Low
    Low-security Federal Correctional Institutions (FCI) have double-fenced perimeters, mostly dormitory or cubicle housing, and strong work and program components. The staff-to-inmate ratio in these institutions is higher than in minimum-security facilities.
    Medium
    Medium-security FCIs (and USPs designated to house medium-security inmates) have strengthened perimeters (often double fences with electronic detection systems), mostly cell-type housing, a wide variety of work and treatment programs, an even higher staff-to-inmate ratio than low-security FCIs, and even greater internal controls.
    High
    High-security institutions, also known as United States Penitentiaries (USP), have highly secured perimeters (featuring walls or reinforced fences), multiple- and single-occupant cell housing, the highest staff-to-inmate ratio, and close control of inmate movement.
    Federal Correctional Complexes (FCC)
    Correctional Complexes: Many BOP institutions belong to Federal Correctional Complexes (FCC). At FCC, institutions with different missions and security levels are located nearby.
    Administrative
    Administrative facilities have special missions, such as the detention of pretrial offenders, the treatment of inmates with serious or chronic medical problems, or the containment of extremely dangerous, violent, or escape-prone inmates.
    •         Metropolitan Correctional Centers (MCC),
    •         Metropolitan Detention Centers (MDC),
    •         Federal Detention Centers (FDC), and
    •         Federal Medical Centers (FMC):
    •         Administrative-Maximum (ADX) U.S. Penitentiary.
    •         Administrative facilities, except the ADX, can hold inmates in all security categories.
    Federal Satellite Low
    Federal Satellite Low Security: FCI Elkton, FCI Jesup, and FCI La Tuna have low-security facilities affiliated with but not adjacent to the main institution.
    Secure Female
    Secure Female Facility: Currently, the BOP has one Secure Female Facility (SFF) unit (located at USP Hazelton, WV) designed to house female inmates.
