I've just received word that the incarcerated men I emailed for comment on this story have been contacted by prison staff and warned not to respond
Message from an inmate to their family member regarding my emails: "If you contact him, it's important he knows that everyone he contacted wants to respond but fears retaliation"
When ADC abolished inmate phone interviews with the press this summer, they pointed out that "media may exchange an unlimited number of emails" with inmates - now they're shutting down that communication as well
I was expecting an update today from ADC on what happened at Eyman but this is all I've received - just now from a Department spokesperson: "The Cook Unit remains secured with controlled inmate movement. The investigation is still ongoing."
