Missouri Prison Reform News
We received the following message from an incarcerated man at Algoa Correctional Facility. This is the same man who got a conduct violation for not wearing a mask (contrary to what Director Precythe would like people to believe), https://www.moprisonreform.org/2021/04/a-copy-of-mask-cdv.html So I will start with a few little things before I go to extreme and things I’m […]
On Wednesday, April 7, 2021, there was a mass search at ERDCC in Bonne Terre. We received the following email from an incarcerated man regarding this search. “The department does not care about our health, safety, and well being. Since the department now knows staff are the only ones bringing drugs and contraband into prisons—because […]
We received the following information in several emails from a man who is incarcerated at ERDCC in Bonne Terre. The information about drugs in our prisons is true. No visits in most facilities in over a year (this is true for ERDCC) but drugs continue to run rampant. No visitors coming so where are the […]
We received a message of thanks from James Scott that we wanted to share. If you haven’t read Mr. Scott’s previous message, please do so. https://www.moprisonreform.org/2021/03/james-scott-tells-his-story-of.html “Lori c/o Missouri Prison Reform I’m writing the same email to like nine other people with an ecard attachment to it.

As we continue the conversation about rehabilitation and reducing recidivism, it’s important everyone know the truth about what’s being done inside the DOC facilities to address these issues. We were contacted by some of the men who are leading the ITC program at JCCC and asked if they could write a letter explaining the current […]
As we have pointed out before, Director Anne Precythe stated during the zoom town hall meeting that no incarcerated people have been given violations for not wearing a mask. We knew this to be untrue so we asked people to send us copies of their violations. They had trouble getting it out in the mail, […]
We’ve been told that officers at are JCCC are becoming more strict about incarcerated individuals wearing their masks and continuing to threaten violations for not wearing them. For instance, this happens when the incarcerated are going to chow yet a group of officers will be standing, talking together with no masks on. Double standard, much? […]
We are contacted by a lot of Missouri DOC employees who are afraid to speak out, but confirm the information we post, offer their support, even thank us and ask us to not stop what we’re doing. These employees know if they speak out or even show their support for Missouri Prison Reform, they will […]
We received the following message from an incarcerated man at MTC. It seems that the DOC’s “viral containment plan” is still not being followed. This captain that is referenced in this message has been the center of many allegations. Remember the riot? Remember the investigator’s office that was trashed? There was a reason that investigator […]
CERT from CCC has been at WMCC doing searches of cells because of a recent death that the DOC believes to be an overdose (but according to our sunshine request, no autopsy has come back yet). This means the incarcerated are on lockdown with no phone calls, no rec, and they’re given bag lunches. CERT […]
