row

> We have been personally contacted by some inmates denouncing further

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,

inflicted

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