We received a horrifically shocking anonymous report regarding a dire and deadly situation that is occurring at SCI Phoenix, located at 1200 Mokychic Road in Collegeville, Pennsylvania .   Opened in 2018, construction costs for SCI Phoenix escalated to US$400,000,000.00 – US$400,000,000.00 taxpayer dollars.  SCI Phoenix has been touted as the most expensive correctional facility in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.   However, in view of the Chinese Water Torture which takes the form of exposing incarcerated United States citizens to, contaminated and unsafe drinking water together with other existing inhumane and unsanitary conditions and treatments, SCI Phoenix is actually a US$400,000,000.00 Pennsylvania gulag.   Here is what is really happening at SCI Phoenix, the US$400,000,000.00 gulag which is unlawful and unconstitutional:  1.     All incarcerated United States citizens at SCI Phoenix have been exposed and continue to be exposed to Legionnaire’s Disease. 2.    The administration at SCI Phoenix has downplayed and continues to downplay the legitimate concerns of United States citizens incarcerated there who are nonsmokers have contracted cancer and unexplained black lungs which results from  d breathing air that flows through unclean and unchanged air filters.   Further, incarcerated United States citizens housed at SCI Phoenix have also developed rashes, and respiratory ailments. 3.    Contaminated water that causes foul smells to emanate from the bodies of incarcerated United States citizens who are forced to drink the water. 4.    Water drains and main yards infested with geese feces. 5.    Air filters  and water filters throughout SCI Phoenix  have not been changed or cleaned in years. 6.    Although incarcerated United States citizens at SCI Phoenix do NOT have the ability to boil their drinking water, they are being told by “Unit Staff” employed there to boil their water. 7.    Some cells do not have cold drinking water. 8.    There is one water fountain that produces hot and cold water in the housing units which is alleged to produce filtered water. 9.    Incarcerated United States citizens at SCI Phoenix endure a plethora of dehumanizing practices perpetrated by prison guards and prison staff members.            Inquiries about the dire and deadly situation at SCI Phoenix  described above, should  be addressed to:  Dr. Laurel R. Harry Secretary Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections 1920 Technology Parkway Mechanicsburg, PA  17050 Telephone:  (717) 728-4109   Mr. David Radziewicz Special Assistant Executive Office Pennsylvania Department of Corrections Mechanicsburg, PA  17050 E-Mail:  dradziewicz@pa.gov   Mr. Robert Marsh Deputy Secretary Central Region Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections Mechanicsburg, PA 17050 Telephone:  (717) 728-4122; (717) 728-4123  Areas of Responsibility:  SCI Phoenix;  SCI Coal Township; SCI Chester; SCI Dallas; SCI Frackville; SCI Waymart   Diana Woodside General Counsel Director of Policy & Legislative Affairs 1920 Technology Parkway Mechanicsburg, PA  17050 Telephone:  (717) 728-4119 Facsimile:  (717) 728-4178 E-Mail: dwoodside@pa.gov           Why submit inquiries to the Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections about the dire and deadly situation at SCI Phoenix?            SCI Phoenix operates under the umbrella of the Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections (https://www.cor.pa.gov/About).  .  Originally known   as the Bureau of Corrections of the Department Of Justice,  the Pennsylvania Department of Corrections was created in 1953  in response to riots at State Correctional Institution Pittsburgh and State Correctional Institution Rockview and a subsequent report by Retired Army Major General Jacob L. Devers and his committee which investigated issues occurring at Pennsylvania prisons.  In 1980, the Pennsylvania Department Of Justice was abolished and the Bureau of Corrections was among a number of agencies transferred to the Office of General Counsel to the Governor.  In 1984, pursuant to Act 245  the Bureau Of Corrections was elevated to a cabinet-level position and became known as the Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections, as more fully set forth in the transcript testimony of Pennsylvania Commissioner Of Corrections The Honorable John D. Lehman presented at the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania House Of Judiciary Committee Oversight Hearing convened on 4 April 1991 (https://www.legis.sta.pa.us/wu01/li/tr transcripts/1991_ 0094_0001_tstmny.pdf).  During his testimony, Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections Commissioner Lehman defined the mission of the Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections:  “The mission of the Pennsylvania Department Of Corrections is to protect the citizens of the Commonwealth by managing all state correctional facilities in a safe secure and humane manner.  This includes offering treatment services at professionally accepted standards for committed individuals to prepare them to return to society as contributing and productive members”.          Clearly, SCI Phoenix is not being operated in a humane, safe and secure manner.  Clearly,  incarcerated United States citizens who currently reside at SCI Phoenix are not being prepared to return to society as “contributing and productive” citizens.  Further, the dire and deadly situation which exists at SCI Phoenix is unconstitutional and unlawful and violate international conventions to which the United States is a signatory; United States foundation and constitutional law; and federal and Pennsylvania statutory law that includes, but is not limited to:  1.  The Nuremburg Code - were created by the United States Court in United States of America v.
