There are more than that. The BOP is Corrupt from the top. Far more inmates and staff are positive and not reported. There are also contract workers who are positive and not reported.

I just spent 8 years in the b.o.p.i had to deal with their medical system for 6 years of that 8 years because i was stabbed and have chronic pain issues.im surprised there’s not more deaths than there already have been. They have horrible medical care. For every thing you might be suffering with their favorite medical advice is “drink lots of water”or go buy aspirin off commissary. I’ve witnessed medical personnel give diabetics the wrong insulin,which is a very dangerous thing. I despise the whole b.o.p. system. I’ve seen guards take people that they knew were enemies and put them together in the same recreation cage. I’ve truelly learned my lesson and will not ever put myself in another situation that will land me in b.o.p.custody.i feel for these people that are in that system.i know and can understand their fears of possibly dying in prison.
