    The product, in the report: Bunk bed

    December 20, 2018

    Whom it may concern:

    I am a federal inmate being housed in F.C.I. [REDACTED]. I personally wrote the director of legal affairs and policy office on the Federal Register inquiring on some particular text I read in the code of federal regulations. I was informed that they couldn’t answer my questions and was directed to reach out to office.

    Under Consumer Product Safety Commission regulations at 16CFR part 1213 it states that bunk beds are to have steps/ladder and guardrails. I would like to know if the Federal Bureau/FCI [REDACTED] have to meet regulations and provide ladders and guardrails on bunk beds. The reason I ask is because since I have been at this institution they have failed to provide a safe way to enter/exit the upper bunks and they do not provide guardrails to prevent inmates from rolling over and falling from upper bunks while asleep. I hope that you could enlighten me on this matter.

    I thank you for taking the time out to read my letter. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

    Respectfully,

    [REDACTED]

    Dear CPSC: I have signed and dated the consent form you mailed me on 2/1/2019. At the present time and date I am unable to submit any manufacturer name, brand name, , model numbers, serial numbers, or photos of the bunkbeds. I do know that the bunk beds have “US” stamped on them referring to U.S.A. The bunkbeds do not have any other information on them. The Environmental, Safety, and Sanitation Supervisor refused to disclose any information pertaining to the bunkbeds other than they were manufactured in the U.S.A./Unicor.

    I want you to know that on 11/8/2018 I slipped and fell while attempting to exit the upper bunk. That’s why in my original letter I asked if the FBOP/FCI Otisville had to provide a safe way to enter/exit upper bunks. They fail to provide ladders and/or a safe way to enter/exit upper bunks. Due to my incident on 11/8/2018 I suffered several injuries. I was took to the hospital for my head, shoulder, and back injuries. The institution nurse feared I was paralyzed. Thank God that wasn’t the case but am currently on “chronic care” for my back pain resulting from my initial injuries. That’s why I want a and need to know if the FBOP has to provide ladders.

    I noticed that on the “Victim Detail” my last name is spelled wrong. I also want to provide some information that could be “useful for the “Victim Details”.

    Injury Information: head, shoulder, and severe back pain resulting from slip and fall. [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED] [REDACTED]

    Note: The bunk bed in question was not properly welded/screwed to the wall and floor.

    Thank you for taking the time out to write me and look into this matter. I look forward to hearing from you in the near future.

    Respectfully, [REDACTED]
