ALT The housing conditions in much of B facility at Salinas Valley State Prison in California are deplorable, including mold from flooding last year. Word is circulating that there is constant leaks and flooding in parts of this facility and peoples' property continues to be damaged and destroyed. The remaining mold from this flooding is impacting many asthmatic peoples ability to breath. Furthermore, as rain picks up again this year, the leaking and flooding is ongoing. The mold will surely increase What is most alarming is the level of neglect and indifference that much of the staff at Salinas Valley has with regards to this flooding and the mold created. It has not been addressed at all. This account was sent from someone in B-facility: "I am living in a cell that floods when it rains. My bed is wet, my property is wet. My electrical outlet has caught fire, there is mold build up, etc. ...I have tried to resolve this with the administration, this has been an issue for 10+ years
