An individual at one MoDOC facility injured his finger in November of 2020. He was seen by a Corizon doctor the week before Thanksgiving. The doctor told him that his finger was just “jammed” and that he would “be fine” multiple times. This man’s finger (on his dominant hand) continued to cause him extreme pain […]

We were also told that corrections officers aren’t doing anything about it because there are just too many individuals under the […]
We heard that the vending machines were removed from visiting rooms at at least one Missouri Department of Corrections facility. We were informed that the company removed their vending machines due to terminating their contract because the vending machines have not been in use due to the DOC not allowing visits for so long.
