row

> We have been personally contacted by some inmates denouncing further
> limitations with regards to their own properties. According to our
sources,
> they are now cutting the inmates property down again, in order to make it
> fit into basically two standard pillow cases.
> Which means that commissary, envelopes, books, under clothes, winter
> clothes, letters, included large sized items as laundry soap in big boxes,
> and cokes, all that is supposed to be contained in two standard pillow
> cases.

inflicted

> themselves occupied.
> That is going to affect their mental health by adding up to the isolation

> their life conditions only more inhumane.

> DR inmates had been previously given the permission of having the extra

to
