essential background: http://hpanwo-voice.blogspot.co.uk/2014/11/carla-buckle-jailed.html.
Carla has replied to the letter I sent to her in jail. It
arrived in an envelope with a seal marked "W-L. SECURITY" and was
written on blue lined paper that looks like it's specially desinged for prisoners.
I won't copy it here verbatim, not least because it's a private letter and also
because I want to spare Carla any possible embarrassment. She is very unhappy
indeed. Sure, obviously I know prisons are not intended to be joyful places,
but all inmates are still entitled to basic humanitarian conditions and this is
not being met in her case. This has led to hardship and feelings of depression.
She has a chronic illness for which she has been denied medication. She also
hurt her knee while being transported to court and this has not been treated.
Her cell is inadequately heated and she has built makeshift coverings for her
feet out of a polystyrene box to try and keep them warm. She was at the jail
for two whole days before she was even given bedclothes and a toilet roll. She
is kept in her cell for all but four hours of the day and has been made to
stand and wait with her bad knee outside locked gates. I'm going to write back
to her immediately. It is vitally important that as many people as possible
write letters and make phonecalls as much as they can; see the prison contact
details in the background link above. HMP-YOI Bronzefield is a "Category
A" prison intended to house those convicted of murder, sex offences,
robbery, assault, firearms crime and terrorism etc; the serial killer Rosemary
West is currently being kept at Bronzefield. Carla has been dumped in with them
even though she's only a civil offender who contested some statute taxes and
fines. Frankly, I'm concerned for her safety. I consider Carla a political
prisoner and an enemy of the state. If "somebody" wanted to do her
further harm then she'd be in the perfect position for them to do so and get
away with it. They could always blame it on another inmate; after all, by their
own admission, Bronzefield is home to some very dangerous bitches. Carla is
vulnerable, but we still can defend her. We must make sure the authorities know
that we're keeping a close eye on her... and we're also keeping a close eye on them. If anybody touches her, the whole
world will know! That's why it's so important you keep trying to make contact
with her and keep making enquiries at the jail concerning her wellbeing.
Dear Ben. Thank you for the update. I hope that all works out favorably in the end for Carla and if the situation demands helpful action please let me know if I may be of help. Kind Regards. Xylomet
ReplyDeleteThanks, X. I'll be sure to keep you informed. I look forward to Carla's happy and proximate release into freedom.
ReplyDeleteCarla Buckle who is in prison has just called me from Prison, she is not eating, so on' hunger Strike' she has told the prison staff she either leaves now or she will leave in a body bag, the call was very short, as she had no credit, she has asked me to let you all know about this. I know Carla very well and she is serious and nothing I say will change her mind. She also told me she loves me. I am gutted because I know she is already ill and weakened. I only hope and pray that God will spare her, we need a miracle and lots of prayers now folks en mass.

Hang in there, Carla!
ReplyDeleteHi Ben and thanks for the update, I have just made muy second phone call to the prison. Both time I got an answer machine so I said that I was concerned for her health as I know she is being denied her medication and that as a political prisoner I worry that her life is in danger and left my name and number and asked them to call me back. As yet no response. we will write to her tomorrow and wonder if we put a little cash in the letter is she going to get it. Do you think there's any chance she will mate?
ReplyDeleteAre you able to give out her prison number and address of the prison so we can write to her?
