Around the first week of May 2015, i was incarcerated at Houston County Jail and being held in ‘N’ Pod. During this time another female inmate was in one of the lock down (Segregation) cells located in ‘N’ Pod. She hurt her foot whilst in the cell and was taken to health care in a wheelchair.

They moved her to one of the ground floor cells that night. The next day she was taken back to health care in a wheelchair and returned in a wheelchair.

The male officer told her to walk upstairs, but she explained that her foot was hurt. After several minutes of discussion the male officer left and returned with a second male officer. The first officer said to the inmate, ” I told you i’m not gonna play games with you, i don’t have time for this”.

He asked the second officer to grab the inmates legs, but the officer declined. The first officer then grabbed the inmates arms and began dragging the inmate up the stairs.

The entire time, the inmate was screaming about her foot and her leg, but the officer didn’t stop until he had gotten the inmate up the stairs and into a lockdown (segregation) cell.
