Lights! And cameras?

October 28, 2014

Since I was last at the Pine Street Inn almost a month ago, someone has replaced all of the lights in the shower room.  The room is much brighter now.  Were the lights changed so that video cameras that aren't supposed to be in the shower stalls can get better lighting for video being filmed of homeless women, in total, horrifying, sickening, criminal invasion of their privacy?

At the Pine Street Inn, all homeless guests who have emergency beds, through the lottery, have to take showers every night that they get beds.  Last year, I suspected that video cameras had been put in the shower room.  Were they, and were the hundreds of homeless women who have been guests of the shelter been videotaped in that room every night for more than a year?
