[Editor: We get many letters. Quite a few of them are from persons with loved ones in the state prison at Camp Hill across the river from Harrisburg, Pennsylvania's Unfriendly City and capital of this dying Commonwealth. What follows is one such letter. It represents the concerns and experiences of hundreds of citizens.] I want to thank you for the articles about Camp Hill. It's about time somebody exposed the truth about that hell-hole. My 20 year-old brother is serving a year having received a lighter sentence for entering the boot camp program. When someone is offered a year off his sentence for going to boot camp, he often takes the chance in order to get out early. My brother was in Camp Hill for a week being processed for the boot camp. When they did a "shake down" (a search for weapons, drugs and other contraband). In his cell they found a broken light. He'd tried to report it to a guard the day before, but was ignored. They sentenced him to time in the "hole." He appealed, but lost. Now he barely has paper to write to his family. He cannot order from the commissary to order such things to keep in contact with his loved ones. I just want people to realize that guards are being paid by the families and friends of the inmates that they treat worse than animals. My brother didn't hurt anyone. He was caught selling prescription pills. He deserves to be punished, but not tortured.
