theconcretemama: The Arizona State Prison Complex - Perryville is a mixed security state prison for women, located in Goodyear, Maricopa County Arizona. The facility houses over 2,300 inmates in eight housing units divided by security class, including administrative segregation and death row. As of February 2018, there are three women under penalty of death in Arizona, although the state has not executed a woman since the botched hanging of Eva Dugan in 1930. Perryville has a troubling history in recent years of failing to provide basic medical care for its inmates, including a breakout of scabies and other unexplained rashes and skin conditions that went untreated for months. In 2009, 48 year old inmate Marcia Powell was found dead after being left in an outside cage in 107 degree weather for four hours. An autopsy showed that she suffered from first and second degree burns all over her body and a core temperature of 108 degrees. The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office declined to prosecute corrections staff, despite their policy that limits outside confinement to a maximum of two hours. Notable inmates at ASPC Perryville include:Sammantha Allen - Sentenced to death in 2017 for the murder of her 10 year old cousin Ame Deal, who died after being padlocked in a metal footlocker outside overnight. Sammantha’s husband John was also sentenced to death, and three other family members are serving prison sentences for child abuse related to Ame’s death. Wendi Andriano - Sentenced to death in 2004 for the murder of her terminally ill husband, Joe, who had been diagnosed with adenoid cystic carcinoma. On October 8th, 2000, Wendi called 911 claiming that her terminally ill husband was dying. When paramedics showed up, she turned them away, telling them that Joe had a do not resuscitate order. An hour later, she called 911 again and claimed that she had stabbed and beaten her husband to death in self-defense. Given that her husband was weak from chemotherapy and sodium azide poisoning, authorities didn’t buy her story and she was charged with his murder. Shawna Forde - Sentenced to death in 2011 for the murders of Raul Flores and his 9 year old daughter Brisenia. In May of 2009, Forde and three accomplices went to the Flores home and claimed that they were law enforcement officers looking for fugitives. Forde had heard a rumor that Flores was a drug dealer and had a secret stash of $4000 in the house, which she wanted to steal in order to fund operations for the Minutemen American Defense, an organization she founded. Her accomplices were also convicted of the murders and were sentenced to death and life imprisonment.And -Jodi Arias - Sentenced to life in prison in 2015 for the murder of Travis Alexander. -- source link
