“Out Cry of Opp[r]ession”

I, as well as numerous other individuals in Victoria County jail are being called liars about our complaints with the COVID 19 virus. The Victoria county jail has done nothing but lie to Texas Commission on Jail Standards. 

Ever since the outbreak of the first 5 officers and 5 inmates on 7-15-20 - which is the real date which will show on doctor’s papers and lab covid 19 test paperwork - Victoria county jail [has] failed to inform inmates that did test for the covid-19. They say only a lawyer or oneself can get medical records once he is only out of jail. That is not right when it comes to knowing if you have the covid-19. 

The staff say they don’t know nothing, and the doctor is the only one with the COVID-19 answers - which the doctor does not give in writing or come by and say anything about the covid-19. Why? Because Victoria county jail does not want to be hit with a lawsuit. Not one person that’s still in Victoria county jail knows they have the covid-19 that do have it. Because Victoria county jail does not want them to know at all Due to being sue[d]. 

I have been really sick for a long time with COVID-19 symptoms but, every time I go to medical asking for a COVId-19 test because my head hurts, cold chills all the time, can’t b[reathe], the doctor tells me I’m ok, it’s just a cold and it’s all in my head, I’m overthinking it. I’m really sick and I’m getting people around me sick. My next door cell mate also got sick [be]cause of me and the doctor does not want to test him either - because i’m 100% sure he has COVId-19 as well. 

Please help us, I wrote medical and the doctor takes me as a joke. I wrote Jail Standards and they let Victoria county lie to them. If they test people all the time coming in, how did an outbreak happen? [Just] because [a] temperature check is done doesn’t mean people [don’t] still have COVID-19.
