I’ve been in the state pen for 3 years from being 18. I’ve gotten beaten up 3 times like 1 time for every year. The only time I feel half safe is in my cell depending on who my cell mate is. I also have mental illness and speech difficulties and I’m only slightly built. I’m in hospital at tge moment recovering I had to have my broken jaw wired. Few weeks time I will be back in tge pen it’s disgusting. I have 6 more years of it I don’t think I will survive.
