Alot has been going on here in Hutchinson prison. First Ima start with how hot it is in our cells. We got a big metal door that stops any air flow and being in the middle of summer it’s probably 20 plus degrees hotter in our cells than outside. I am on mental health meds on top of heat stroke runs in my family. I have tried to tell the CO’s and the unit teams that it is too hot in my cell for me and that I feel like Ima pass out. They simply do not care.

On 8-6-25 I was overheating and instead of them taking this seriously they treated me as if I was high or on drugs. I told them I’m overheating and they ignored me, stripped me butt naked out on the run where everyone could see me. Then once they pushed me butt naked into the cell, two of the CO’s twisted the handcuffs , twisting my hands, forcing me onto my knees then pushing my head into the concrete then pulling me by the cuffs to them while my face was on the ground. And of course they did this while I was off camera. They waited to use force on me until I was off camera in the cell.

After that they left me butt naked with nothing in a nasty dirty cell that had piss and shit all over in it. I asked the CO for something to cover myself with and they laughed at me and told me I got nothing I was to sit butt naked in that dirty cell for 4 hours at least. While I was butt naked CO Nickels went to my cell and he threw all my personal property away. My books my family sent me, my Bible, my shoes, my watch, my Dad’s memorial, all my paperwork, letters from loved ones, all of my photos from family, my address book with my loved one’s phone numbers and addresses, over $150 of worth of hygiene my sweaters, my thermals, headphones..bowls and cups and more. Then they put me in a different cell with nothing, not even giving me any hygiene to shower with for over 2 weeks.

I also seen my books floating around the cell house when I said that those are my personal books my family got me and they are stamped with my name, people had done damaged them, ripping out all the pages. Plus they won’t give me a tablet. I had one but when CO Nickels lost my property, my tablet is missing too. The tablet is what we use to order hygiene and what we use to put phone time to call my loved ones. I feel like what they did was cruel and unusual punishment. But I don’t know. Let me know what you think.
