other inmates due to the jewelry implants in his face. they re called dermal implants. pretty much what they do is they get a needle, they make a pocket in your face, they push around to make it hollow and they put a plate inside the slit. because those piercings, according to him, are irremovable, we don t know that and we don t know what those piercings are capable, once they re taken out they could contain contraband. they could be used as a weapon, could be against himself, against staff or even fellow inmates. i have another one on the back of my neck. it s called a surface staple. as you can see, there s a bar through my neck and there s two flat head screwdriver parts to it. basically, for mr. ruiz, for him it s been a good thing being isolated because he won t be exposed to a general population setting. he won t be exposed to gang politics. he won t be exposed to inmate pressures. so for mr. ruiz, it might have been a saving grace for him that he actually had piercings
