OPEN LETTER TO GOVERNOR CHARLIE BAKER

HON. CHARLIE D. BAKER
GOVERNOR
Office of the Governor
Commonwealth of Massachusetts
State House, Boston, Mass. 02133

In Re: Experience in Prison & Public Report

Dear Governor Baker;

Congratulations for your State Of The State Speech. Your transparent -- approach was missing the word ACCOUNTABILITY, therefore I am writing this letter as a form of public report. I want to share my experience as a poor person in prison and my academic research to enrich your portfolio on Justice and Corrections.

Please note that you may be ill-advised on important areas that deal with crime and prison subculture in comparison to white collar crime and corruption. - The main context of the problem is with the tunnel vision among administrators who are concentrating with blinders on seeing only black and white, missing the gray area in the middle, -or- when they are dealing with money under the mentality of politicians acting on the ideas of being politically correct.

In the interest of Justice I want you to look into white collar crime and its impact in the community in comparison to the regular street crime.

REPORT

Between 1990-1991 I presented the same evidence to the President of the United States (See Exhibit-A, attached to this letter). Years later, the rampant cancer of growing corruption and white collar crime, caused the economic crash that we had between 2002 and 2008.

After the case was presented, the American people discovered the cases that presented economic problem with individuals stealing legally from investment and fraudulent acts in connection to the Banking System and property being overcharged. In the meantime I have to be incarcerated forever as a result of my criminal conduct as a young offender.

I'm taking responsibility for any wrong-doing, including for things that I have not done, because I have to be accountable and in the interest of justice, I am paying a high price, because some people have to be in prison, while other can rob this country in a three piece suit.

Your Excellency,

I certainly do not want to minimize the impact of street crime level/crime. Considerable harm has been done in that area. However, there are many interest groups in Massachusetts that are constantly diverting the public attention, Law Enforcement and Media have given much attention to street crime, and rightly so, but white collar crime and political corruption cause a ripple effect that can topple business, companies and the entire banking structure in this country.

Hundreds and thousands of people can be the victim of a single white collar criminal, thereby impacting the community far more than a single street criminal. This entire subject become an issue of National Security back in 1991-1993 because billions of dollars were missing over the years from a money rotation report issued by the banking system, serial numbers of that money was either out of the country or being held by other governments under money laundering schemes.

I also remember very clear, at that time without provocation the Department of Correction transferred me under a phony pretext and being politically correctness. - In Massachusetts you can be legally silenced by policies, you can be transfer from one place to another with or without reason. I lost my single cell, institutional job and my family being relocated for visiting purposes. (See Exhibit-B, attached to this letter). -- On February 28, 2014 I also filed for a Temporary Restraining Order where I was explained how the state can silence a person who is in custody for political reasons (See Exhibit-C).

BACK ON THE REPORT:

Another dynamic took place around this time, instead of dealing with the entire complex issue of white collar crime, The President Of The United States and Congress agreed to add hundreds of Federal Law Enforcement Officers to attack the drug problem in the United States. (At present 2016-2917, we find ourselves with a more serious problem).

In retrospect, I also recall another aspect so that you can have a much clear perspective, since you have declared a desire of having a government with TRANSPARENCY; - Please keep in mind that the federal deficit was originally complicated with rich people connected with issues like the Saving and Loan scandals along with other fraudulent acts that almost doubled the federal deficit between 1987-1989. - Indeed, it was a dual problem Drug and Corruption.

Your Excellency,

I don't want to be finger pointing, to the contrary my letters are connected to the experience of a poor person, serving life sentence in prison for decades in the name of justice, so that you can evaluate as a form of making comparison, between the poor and the rich.

When we are talking about crime in general, the truth of the matter has to be brought out on its entire context so that the public can be educated in order to be fair to all sectors of society. - Now that we are on the subject, I want to give you a couple of examples as a form of reference.

1. - We have learned that while politicians played the role of tough on crime and constantly revamping the legal system with new laws to the criminal statutes, we also learned about the other dynamic with last three speakers of the House resigned from their positions in violating of the Federal Corruption Statutes; increasing sentences in the state to people and swindle for favour and money.

2. - The former Commissioner of probation was doing something more interesting. The federal claim in 800 pages Report & Investigation indicated the Commissioner was charged with illegally hiring people with little qualifications for political favors, even on promoting people and undermining other people with a higher qualification. But finally the Commissioner beat the charges, part of his defense with a good lawyer was explained as simple as it is, "why are they trying to make an example with him, when in fact everyone in the political arena in Massachusetts was doing the same thing."
