Description
PER CURIAM Plaintiff Ronald E. Termunde brought a petition in the district court, assailing the conditions of the shower rooms in section
II, building III, Uinta facility of the Utah State Prison. Termunde claimed that peeling paint, fecal matter, semen, body
hair, and germs in the showers constituted a hazard to his health and life, and he sought redress for what he said was an
unconstitutional holding in prison. The trial court held an evidentiary hearing and then ordered the Salt Lake County Health
Department to inspect the shower rooms and to report the results to the trial court within twenty days. The health department
reported that none of the items claimed by Termunde to be present in the showers were found on the walls or ceilings of the
showers but peeling paint and poor drainage were observed. The health department had suggested to the prison authorities that
waterproof epoxy paint be used to repaint the showers within ten days, that nonslip strips be included on the shower floors,
and that walls and ceilings be scrubbed daily to prevent build-up of soap film.
