On March 14, 2003, the duty nurse at the COF reported that the cleaning of Ms. Chinchilla's
wounds was not carried out because “she refused it, deciding that the inmate Gina Samayoa, housed in the
same block, was doing it.” She said that she “talked to her to make her aware of the need for it, that a nurse
should do the cleaning.” She said that “the inmate will not see reason” and that she became negative, “telling
her to stop bothering her.” She said that “for the time being, she does not need cleaning because the stump
has tried and the area is clean.” 166
