Please keep bringing attention to Lompoc FCI . My husband is there and the letters I have recently received, are unsettling to say the least. I am in a different state or I would be there protesting with the other families.
They suspended visitation as of March 20 and then suspended calls and emails as of April 20 to help slow the spread of the virus, which has proven beyond ineffective as this facility has dormitory style housing.
I have been monitoring this facility since the beginning of this pandemic, and the first confirmed case was a staff member. The Federal Bureau of Prisons still allowed them to do shakedowns with no personal protective equipment, which means every bunk was touched by staff who may or may not have been exposed to the virus by the first staff. This virus was ultimately spread to this extent, due to pure negligence.
