You're what's called out-custody. The only level below that is called community custody when you are not in total confinement, right? Now understand that in the camp, there's no cells, there's no, you know, cellmates and that stuff. You're, you're really just in a big dorm.
SourceAnd it's cot, cubby, cot, cubby, like lockers in between beds and rows of it with aisles in between so you can go to sleep. So it's, you know, I'll see if I can find some images of something that would similarly represent it so folks can have a visual understanding. But even then, the infrastructure of the facility is in decay.
I mean, the whole ceiling is a vinyl and the vinyl is crawling in black mold and spores of black mold really literally falling in and all over people. My breathing issues became severely acute because of that. Every inmate goes into custody and they do blood work within, I think, the first 60 days.
Prior to going to custody, I did all these, this blood work situation. And I'm sorry that I'm going a little deeper into your question and a little off topic, but I want to just give you guys a little understanding. So I have both to compare.
When I went into custody, my blood work was essentially, well, obviously, I'm overweight, but I had no cholesterol issues, no triglyceride issues, no, no glucose issues, pretty normal levels on everything. Almost 60 days in there, I did my blood work, and it came back where my cholesterol now had been elevated. And that's entirely because of the diet that you're on.
The food is just absolutely horrible. I was in the kitchen for the first, what, 34 days. But you're eating A, expired food, chicken patties that were expired in 2024.
And the answer was, oh, but they keep well because they're frozen. We're eating expired canned goods. We're eating subpar quality meat, subpar quality everything.
I mean, I get it. It's prison. It's not supposed to be nice, but I think it should be dignified, right? So the meat quality is, I'll give you an example, like taco nights, right? Ground beef.
