Potosi Correctional Center (PCC) remains a breeding ground for unchecked abuse, retaliation, and corruption, where staff operate with impunity under a system designed to break prisoners, not rehabilitate them. Among its victims is former death row prisoner Deandre Buchanan, a man who has endured targeted retaliation for exposing the inhumane conditions within PCC.

Buchanan, once sentenced to death, fought his way through the system, but his survival has come at a price. PCC officials attempted to strip him of his dignity, silence his voice, and break his spirit through relentless harassment, fabricated infractions, and isolation. His refusal to comply with their cycle of oppression made him a target, yet he remains defiant in seeking justice and exposing the corruption within Missouri’s prison system.

Insiders confirm that PCC’s abuse extends beyond Buchanan—staff manipulate policies to punish whistleblowers, withhold medical care, and enforce brutal conditions. Retaliation is swift for those who speak out, ensuring that PCC remains a stronghold of cruelty, hidden behind bureaucratic indifference.

Buchanan’s story is not just about survival—it’s a call to action. Missouri authorities must investigate, intervene, and dismantle the culture of abuse within PCC before more lives are lost to a system built on fear and silence. Now that he's at JCCC, similar abuse and retaliation occurs with CO's.
