Hello Richard, I can't even imagine what it's like to be with another person 24/7. I'm female, but male and female would probably annoy me the same. Like you - I need my alone time. I think everyone does. Prison in America sounds so bad in general. I'm from Switzerland and when I look at some prisons in other countries I can't believe what I'm seeing. What a great country America is... Yeah right. Here, inmates are at least still seen as humans. The only thing that is just plain stupid is that sometimes drugdealers get more time than killers or rapists. Hello? Stupiiiiid. Mind if I ask why you are in prison?
Alright, keep doing what you're doing George! Keep studying and thinking about what you can -- it makes for a brighter and more full human person. If you can, let me know what's going on. Take care now. --Calhoun25
Hey George! I hope everything has been relatively restful for your 2016. I've been thinking about your description of the shakedowns. Sometimes when people are in an authoritative position, they rationalize unjust treatment under the guise of "necessary to discharging one's duties". They should not treat your belongings so (deliberately?) without care. To be fair, it is a very natural inclination. Some school teachers are unfairly harsh on their students, but think it justified because the only way to teach them. A healthy dose of patience, understanding, and peace can fix these situations up. In fact, I think this dose would go a long way in fixing broken marriages! Sometimes I wonder whether we treat strangers better than those we know by day-to-day interaction.
Now about the politics. I am sure you heard about Brexit! David Cameron is no longer the prime minister; the EU referendum was in effect a vote of no confidence. Based upon the little I know, I judge there will be negative economic consequences, both in and out of Britain. Supporters of Brexit would likely contend that (1) there are benefits of increased sovereignty and border control; and that (2) these outweigh the negative economic costs. If you learn anything more about Brexit, let me know!
I hope you find another kitten as companion. Sometimes I think dogs and cats understand one's feelings better than other people! I've never owned a cat or dog, but it might be something I look into later on. Some breeds require a lot of space and attention; others are more low-key and low-maintenance. I have had some pet birds, though. They were pretty cute and uplifting. My parents had this one bird called "Sky". It was a smart and adventurous one! It would come to the table for breakfast, and eat foods such as eggs and spaghetti. One day it got too smart, and flew away when my dad was trying to clip its wings. I hope Sky lived the rest of its days out in that light-blue expanse above our heads. Let us believe that there is a Heaven for pets!
Lastly, I wanted to let you know that my friend has an internship this summer at the Cook County jail. He is studying psychology, and so will be working with inmates in this direction. He told me that Cook County is America's largest mental health facility! He is especially motivated in tending to the mentally sick because of his Christian love. He said he was praying to find a good internship that combines his passions for mental health and community with others: I am overjoyed he was granted just that. I don't know if they have any mental health facilities where you are at, but I believe they can be very helpful if done properly. I know many college campi encourage their students to seek mental help if they need it. There is often a stigma about seeking this help, and many times for good reason. However, it seems the benefits of getting cured outweigh those costs in the long run. I don't know; maybe I'm just crazy! (Pun intended)
Talk about patience! I remember when the Wisconsin protests erupted in 2011. It was even a hot button issue among the public school teachers in my area. If a law or bill is being passed in one state, it might be passed in your own. I guess this "money judgment day" teaches us that sometimes we need to be ready for the long haul, when it comes to legal battles. Even though the outcome seems invisible, it is still there, and will be upon us someday. Speaking of which, I looked into the Jeff Decker stories. Apparently he has been banned from the Oshkosh campus for a year; this ban started in February 2015 or so. Some people make protesting what they see as systematic injustice their lifelong passion. For example, community members called on one university to put in a trauma center, on account of nearby gang shootings and car accidents. They wanted a center close-by and equipped to deal with trauma-level injuries. Both community members and college students protested to have this center built. Many were even arrested! It was a very serious affair. Eventually the university agreed to building the trauma-center, I think. While we're at it, I recommend looking at the case of Shirley Sherrod. She got into some hot water back in 2010. Evidently she was portrayed falsely, and filed a defamation suit against Andrew Breitbart and Larry O'Connor. The suit was finally settled on undisclosed terms in 2015. Again: patience in those legal matters. It's a long battle, but it has to end someday. Alright, thanks for the update! Keep doing what you're doing -- staying on top of legal matters, both local and national. It keeps an honest and informed American citizenry. Take care! --Calhoun25
Who better that to funnel drugs adn guns to than a bunch of criminal street gang/terrorist in a so-called War on Crime climate authored by the very source from which the drugs and guns came from.
If the death toll had not been factured into the original design, we suffer from more than mere naivéte.
If Life Without The Possibility wasn't factured into the original design, we must be blind.

If Special Circumstance #22, which makes inner city youth death elible wasn't conveniantly added into the original design, then the rest of us are either stupid, conditioned to support, or could care even less.
No matter what your position is on The Death Penalty, you may want to inquire why #22 is the only one on the list that appears in bold print in the penal code. Or how did street level crimes become so important in 1978? Now that year sounds familiar to those that are aware of the Stanley "Tookie" Williams story, oh, don't trip, I'm also including an interview of his last words with this work so you are able to gauge how his generation of innner city youth was the 1st wave of Black men to be unsuspecting victims of this horrific grand design to literally legally murer inner city youth, and get paid billions of dollars to capture and execute a new generation of inner city youth, for which I am one of many.
I began engaging this creative writing project with a 3 part article in the very 1st issue of the Write Or Die Zine Project, titled "New Generation Pt 1, 2 &3." I want to push at you a quote from my own work back in 2011 from New Generation pt,2. I couldn't wait to respond to Piankhi's call to be expressive from the position of condemned status because the word Nigger has interrupted our progress as a people way before millions of youth fall victim to the overall grand scheme to continue supremacy over what continues to be concidered, by way of action, and not words, unequal on earth.
On its face, this self admission by way of the historical chronological order of events exposes the method and pattern designed to misuse the system worked on us (referencing CDCR online history)
When Don Novey combined youth authority supervisors and parole officers with prison guards, he single handedly made a 923 million entify worth 5.7 billion dollars from 1085 to 2004.
Look at those dates and tell yourself why this is not the height of the crack era, the bloodshed, the violence, increase in guns on the streets of innercity communities.
The creepy part is how he created a pipeline for children and minors under juvenile detention supervision to be escorted directly into prison, where the parole agents are free to roam the streets and re-arrest, and act as hunters/slacve catchers to fill Don Novey's plantations/prisons that soard from 13 in 1985 to 31 prisons by 1995. (Nigga say whaaat?) Don Novey is a capitalistic genius, it's all business and even if we exculde Black people as being the enemy, Don Novey's model is the exact same as the model used by his forefathers to enslave the Negro race; now here's a word that should sound familliar by now, especially since the word has been traced to the word that means black in Latin; still end up full circle at, Black People.
But look, remember, it's not Ginst the law in america to be black, so brace yourself as we show you pages from the California penal code, looks like your boy Don Novey had some great lobbiest, check the dates, and the language used to desccribe our inner city youth.

These two California penal code citings are what we call "Designer Laws", which by the way gives light to those who are familiar with the term we've used in our other zine issues, called "Street Level Crimes". So in 1988, Don Novey and his friends in the California Legislature body started calling inner city youth of america "Terrorist" and "Criminal street" gangmembers.
In the history of america only one group of people have used the names of streets in their identification as gangs, in faxt, gangs are a fact of human nature in many different cultures around the world, however, only American inner city youth identify with street culture.
Notice the language "Street Terrorism Enforcement and Prevention Acct" by the legislature body describes our youth as "Criminal Street Gangs", by way to state for a fact that all street gangs started to operate and continue to operate for the sole purpose of terrorizing the "peaceful citizens" of their neighbourhoods.
