I think there's a misunderstanding. When we were referring to that document and the need to wear boots, it was in reference to the complete breakdown and decay of the sewer and septic system. We were in a situation where we were walking through bloody fecal matter. There was a lot of lung disease, so there was a lot of bloody sputum and things of that nature. That's the context that it was presented in. It had nothing to do with any type of prisoner abuse. It was a health and safety concern for us, the staff at the prison, and the inmates.
On December 2nd, 2009. See this statement in context.
