I was just informed by the correction officer on duty...
...in my housing unit, that I have to move to another cell block. This is because tomorrow morning a construction crew will be coming to do some work in my cell. The prison is currently going through a radiator maintenance project and the heating system throughout the facility is being upgraded. Every radiator has to be removed and altered to accommodate the new system.
The construction workers, who are from a private contracting company, are going to pull my steel bed from its metal mounts and from out of the wall. Every man's bunk, in addition to being welded onto mounts, is also embedded into cinder block at both the head and the foot of each bunk. Hence, my having to move to another location. The work is very involved.
So in the midst of a horrendous season of heat and humidity, I must now gather my belongings for a temporary move. And I'm not looking forward to it. I'll be living out of bags and boxes until the construction is finished. Then, hopefully, I will be back in D-North #148.
