@ Golgotha w/Joe an interview by: xzyst
(The Tone) Today is Sunday, 10:45am, August 23, 2015. Outhere on the upper yard condemned Grade A Walk Alone Cages.
Temps are cool, starting to warm up a little, and as far as I can see, it looks like all 32 cages are occupied by men, a lot of socializing chatter and exercising, working out going on.
It's not often that I'm next to the same prisoner everytime we come to these cages, especially since it's only 32 cages and approximately 75 prisoners assigned to recreational program to these cages, especially when you facto in prisoners coming from D unit, and C unit commonly known as Carson and Donner Sections, and let's not forget the 1st 13 cages being reserved for the EOP Mental Health Care program, do the math.
So, it was good to see my potna Joe today. I dont know alot about Joe, I met him after he made his transition from Knucklehead to what he is becoming now.
Always treat the New Generation with respect, and has been a supporter of Piankhi's Creative Writing Project since day one, with no strings. Joe authored "Guilty" in issue #1 of The Write Or Die Zine Project, and also fielded a few q'z by Piankhi that found it's way into the @Golgotha interview section of issue #3.
Today I get to pick Joe's brain as we pace back and forth inside these cages. This is one of the new ciphers I've done after my choice to no longer use profanity in my work. Met Robain and Sister Kathy, while also realizing that I owe my next generation better quality product, and when God has his hand on a persons life, I believe what comes out of the mouth should reflect that reality.
Enjoy our work, as we get better, --Xzyst (1 of 5)

J What's the next one going to be about?
XZ Piankhi has a few more in the works, but one of the growing topics in America is the bloodshed on the streets at the hands of law enforcement, so a conversation is starting @ betweenthebars.org/#NGR about this, and He's creating a new zine series loaded with comments from all over the world.
One other thing Bryce, stop listening to fellow inmates like Tim Muise. He is a ramble rouser and using you in his quest to disrupt the DOC institution. Seek out fellow inmates who are on a path toward rehab. and integration into society.
Well, another parole hearing for Bryce Noonan has come and gone with him receiving a well deserved four-year setback. It appears that Bryce is still avoiding responsibility for his crime and more concerned about being housed closer to home than seeking out rehabilitating programs that would go a long way in convincing both the Parole Board to release him under supervision. His next hearing will be in 2020. If he can avail himself of recommended programing, stay D report free, and do a better job of "accepting" responsibility for his crime, he will have 15 years of constructive behavior behind him. I (along with the Parole Board) would like to see him succeed. He has only himself to blame in wasting his first 13 years of incarceration. Stop feeling sorry for yourself Bryce, get busy changing your attitude, and get your priorities straight.

Do you know your father Trish, do you know what he did to me (the only woman he ever legally married) and my son and to what should of been your older sibling? Research. I know he never changed or he wouldn't of been put back behind bars for three strikes VIOLENCE! After John beat me and killed our baby I was never able to have another child. He beat my 5 yrs old son, we didn't even look human after he was done. My son has issues his whole life from what he saw and went through. I have had issues where he broke my jaw several times and my eardrums, scars where he split my eyes open over and over. I was 21! He beat me because other men looked at me, because I said something to some woman that sat on his lap. He kept my son and I apart as much as possible so I wouldn't run away. His family all personally Seen him beat me from the first day we were married. They were too afraid of him like everyone else, too afraid to stand up to him. He never cared about who he beat. Even my doberman. Some guy who walked up and knocked at the door at the wrong time. He moved us around constantly from state to state from place to place or bus on the beach. I have been haunted my entire life by the monster John Michael Connelly. If you truelly believe there is anything to this monster that's worth saving. Your wrong. No one who destroys and deliberately hurts so many woman children animals people etc.... is not redeemable. Look into his past. Look into his legal cases. There are pictures of me and my child attached to the case. In fact the reason I didn't have to go to San Diego and testify in the three strikes case is because the judge decided at the lady minute that there was so much evidence in the original case, with the pictures etc... that he was not putting me through the trauma of being anywhere near him. I remember when the Drs from Chino gave me John's diagnosis and told me he could never change. I remember seeing John in jail doing the "lithium shuffle " and even behind glass had him chained hand and feet together. I remember them putting him in the police car (i didnt even know if my son was alive at that point) 3 cops to put him in he busted out window of cop car. The took him out chained him up and still had a hard time containing him. I remember him standing in the parking lot of the apts knowing the police were coming when your uncle and aunt called them,had me by the hair waiting for the police. When they got there he yelled and told them your taking me in for beating her let me show you how I beat her, as he kicked and punched me in front of them. I weighed 98 LBS. All children and woman should of been protected from him.and I am sorry but considering he killed our child whom he said he was so happy we were having, from beating me while pregnant. And the damage caused me to not lose child after child and never be able to carry another. I feel he should not of ever had any children. Ever. He should never of laid hands on another woman.
