Lancaster, Pennsylvania – Residents that live nearby the Lancaster County Prison
have been disturbed by screams coming from the institution in recent
weeks. Large numbers of prisoners have been screaming through the
windows about how they are hungry and how they are being starved. Some
residents have even recorded these occurrences, and a local news crew
got it on camera as well.
News crew WGAL sat outside of the prison walls one evening to hear prisoners screaming “We’re hungry!” and “We’re locked down 23 hours a day. They treat us like animals!”
In response to the situation, the prison has made very few comments, saying only that the inmates who are caught screaming out the windows will have their windows shut, and that the inmates are over-reacting and are not actually starving.
However, Jean Bickmire, president of Have a Heart for Persons in the Criminal Justice System says that closing the windows during the summer time could be dangerous for the inmates, “because it’s getting hot, and there isn’t any ventilation.”
