My brother, Rodney Barno, is an inmate at the Corcoran State Prison’s Substance Abuse Treatment Facility. Two months ago, rumors began circulating that other inmates had a hit on him, so, in order to protect him, they put him in administrative segregation, also known as “the hole.” Since then, we have received letter after letter from him describing horrific conditions and treatment by guards who are supposed to protect him.
He says he was stripped of all his personal belongings (food, clothing, hygiene necessities) and forced to sleep on a bare mattress. He has told us that he fears for his life, and I am worried sick that something will happen to him if we don’t put an end to this treatment now.
