Hello Mr Wilkes. Entertaining post. It does indeed sound like misery to endure the conditions you've described. I'm sorry for you and all others who suffer this unnecessary torture.
I do wonder though, how it is that one's "messiness" causes you sleep deprivation. That sounds like a different sort of pet peeve?
Hello knucklehead. I say that with a smile, no meanness is intended. I am now following multiple bloggers here. I feel yours are among the best if not the best. It doesn't matter if I agree with everything you say, I appreciate that you say it well, are often entertaining, and you make some of us think in ways perhaps we are not so accustomed to. Now I have what I hope you will consider good news, sir. I searched your name, of course there is the usual flood of negativity associated with most individuals convicted of crimes in the United States. But there is much more as well. Now I give you the news: according to
Bloggers.feedspot.com/prison_blogs/
you have been named the top prison based blogger in the country or perhaps the world. It is hard to tell from the list but it ranks between the bars as the number 5 prison blog in the world, I believe, and below that is a list of the top bloggers, no numbers shown but you are on the list below roughly 6 or 7 other names, all of which appear to be free people associated with the sites themselves. Yours is the first name on the list with the label of "contributor". So I think this is congratulations, Dymitri. We'll done. Please keep it up.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Great post and I agree with you, sentencing has gone wild and everything is out of proportion now.
Four years is a long time, especially considering you're cut off from society, living with the constant prison "music", left to the whims of the few "guarding" over you. I really wouldn't want to spend that much time in a concrete room the size of a parking space with someone I don't know (or have get to know in ways you don't want to).
Is the whole legal system corrupt? Obviously, yes. And so it is everywhere. What do you propose, to somehow run your entire court transcripts through chatgpt or grok to see if it agrees with your assessment? That may not prove as much as you hope. Ai can be set to be quite accommodating to a user, such that no others are likely to credit its conclusions. Perhaps you could put your information into an ArgueBot of some sort (there are many) and see if one may side with you on the bigger issue even while playing devil's advocate.
I made one small correction to the original transcription, I hope you don't mind. "Trails" became "trials", as I believe you intended it. Many of these observations are amusing and insightful and match what others have told me about being jailed. Some I wonder quite what you meant, eg the idea that someone who has killed others may also cry over his pet spider being killed. I am trying to read as many posts as I can, so perhaps I will return to yours soon. There are many thousands here to see.
Hello dymitri. This post moved me like the one about Las Vegas. You are brave to share so much of your life with strangers. Thank you. I noticed this transcription had typos. Whoever did it did a great job as it's rather lengthy, but I saw small errors and checked against your handwritten copy. I probably missed some as well.
You paint vivid pictures for us. It makes me feel I almost know you somewhat. The only detail that seemed off was why you had binoculars with you! That seems strange. Please keep these up. I see no one else has commented, but someone obviously read it and did much effort to transcribe it. To answer your question, you tell your story well and I hope your friend gets to see it someday.
My apologies. I tried to transcribe this for you, but it's not as easy as you'd think on the tiny buttons of a phone. I don't have a pc anymore but maybe I'll get one now just to help more prisoners out with their posts. This was a very moving post. Your feelings really come through. Sounds like you took losing Mikey pretty hard even after just a few days. And I agree with you about how Las Vegas eats it's own. I enjoyed the mirage and trop hotels too. Rip.

But yes, equal misery is also equality, right?
Again thanks!
