Inmates say they get just 20 minutes out of their cells each day, and only allowed access to the showers and the phones. The situation is leading some to growing despair, with one inmate telling a loved one that some sentenced to life in prison are considering suicide.
“All of us guys think we’re gonna die in here,” he said.
“There are guys in here who are crying. They’re afraid they’re not going to go home to their families.”
He said spending hours a day without time to participate in any activities or recreation is leaving him feeling “empty,” “lost” and “angry.”
