I froze in a cell for seven-and-a-half months with no
heat, sleeping with a hat, gloves, sweat pants and sweatshirts.
The cell that they put me in MCC, the ventilation was totally
broke. I would cry myself to sleep, teeth chattering, thinking
at times I would die. I would wake up with white lines on my
eyes. The tears I cried, they were frozen on my face.
My roommates were mice. They would come out of large
holes in the wall that were as big as tennis balls, jumping

On April 20th -- excuse me -- on April 20th, 2020, I
was the first female inmate to catch Covid-19. I was put in a
room, a SHU room that's used for disciplinary, with no water,
no medication, and I wasn't seen for six days. It wasn't until

I was so weak from suffering from fever and diarrhea,
that I was even unable to be on the phone for my own bail
hearing that was conducted with all of you guys. They had me
