Greetings sisters and brothers!
As man of you know South-East Texas was bombarded by Hurricane Harvey recently, and 500 prisoners located in Rosharon Texas were displaced because of flooding. C.T Terrell is very similar to Wallace Pack Unit in that they house prisoners who are predominantly elderly, infirm, and disabled.
Eastham Unit located in Lovelady, Texas was chosen to house the displaced prisoners. Many prisoners have read about or heard of the ongoing problems with Eastham’s water supply, but on Wednesday, August 30, 2017, they got a first hand look at what many Eastham prisoners have suffered through for years! Contaminated water!
It started out as strange debris floating in the water - then without warning, we were told the water was being shut off and the pumps had broke! The water pressure had dropped and historically when water pressure drops, high levels of bacteria enter the system and boil notices are issues! Shut off time was 12:30 p.m. Wednesday afternoon, Aug 30, 2017. Turned back on Wednesday night, 10:30 p.m. I am sending out a call for help and action! We need phone calls to be made to the Texas Commission of Environmental Quality employees:
Brian Buster - (936) 437-7285
Frank Inmon - (936) 437-7200 / (cell) (936) 577-4035
We need you to inquire and find out exactly what the problem is with the water system at Eastham Unit and demand answers (unit # is 936-636-7321) Safe and clean water is a Humyn Right! All power to the people!
