The way you have described your incarceration truly leads me to believe that there is a better way. A better way to handle the violence, the hatred, the lack of education. I am a restaurant manager and my day is all about systems, training, direction and motivation. Why can't an intelligent person, like yourself, design a true prison curriculum that focuses on rehabilitation, rather than simply housing masses of people. I have created numerous training programs for new restaurant concepts, and a well planned, scheduled system would make the prison environment a more productive and effective form of justice. I applaud your path, and know that not everyone looks down upon the prison population, I have hope for you, and say NICE JOB BROTHER. Bob
Thankyou PALMERMABOY. That is the truth! Francis has met his maker as of yesterday. I am glad I will never have to sit thru another parole hearing for him.
I am on the "outside" and often feel as you do about engaging another in a fight. Wondering how much abuse to take from others at work or on the street before I make it physical. Like you, I battle with pent up anger from all the times I tried to do the right thing- turning the other cheek, being meek and humble. Thing is, meek and humble look good to God but sometimes are very painful to our ego as you have stated. I know I could engage and do some damage, maybe too much. Therein lies all the possible outcomes, most of which are negative and worse than swallowing my pride and not engaging physically. I also could get hurt, arrested and possibly sued or incarcerated then how would I work and provide for my family? God's way is better, not always easy.
Not even sure what to say to all of that. Doesn't make any sense. Also, you chose to fight when you killed someone. Just because you're in jail, doesn't mean everything is good. There are friends, there are families, that all hurt even years later. You will not fight with anyone, I suspect, because you can't - you're in jail. Where do you want it to "go from here". Just forget about it all? I think not...
Thanks for your post -- very interesting stuff. So you're aware, I responded to your plea - you have an inmate direct pkg coming your way - order number WEI3910214 - for 3 pks of embossed envelopes, a pk of lined paper and a couple black ballpoint pens.
Other than hoping you're not serious about supporting Miley Cyrus, because other than her beliefs, which I don't much care about, she's rather irritatingly over-present. But that's not a crime, is it? Lol...
No but seriously, excellent writing! Wow... Looking forward to sampling more!
What can I say!? Bravo! I thank you from the bottom of my heart for giving me the truth about the prison systems in this state. I have lived here for three years. I lived here from the time I was born till the year 2000 and returned recently. I am so glad in a bad way that my son, in the Ohio-DOC, 832 miles from here, 15 to life sentence, has no desire to move to a prison in Massachusetts. The above testimony certainly puts that in the can.
I work in a local ER, I met one of your unfortunate fellow residents, i'll call him Bubba to protect his anonymity and not violate anybody's HIPPA rights, was a big fellow that, in younger years would have been able to defend himself against the horrible facial beating he received. While no other part of his body was harmed, he received approximately $everal $1000s of $$$ worth of medical care in the ICU over the course of half a week. This gentleman was in his late 60s.
In the State of Ohio, most of the districts have prisons where their elderly are moved to when they reach a certain point medically and otherwise. One of the lovely guards told me that the vicious beating that this man received was one of the worst he's ever seen.
Bubba appeared quite shocked when I suggested I send him a get well card in the mail. "Aht zheh pwhizshing?" He asked, through a mouth's swimming in blood, unable to move his jaw or mouth, to form the right words The swelling was that bad. I'll say no other details, because I know a few. I don't want anyone in trouble.
I am shocked that Massachusetts, the ultra-liberal, progressive, modern state of the art state, beacon of freedom, proud, blah blah blah, and we have some of the best frail elder senior care available to the poorest of the poor , in the country I think. Except if you're a prisoner. if you're 67, or take a few years, of course you're not going to be able to fight back. Hes lucky to be alive. And unfortunately it's probably the beginning of the end. Just how quickly or slowly remains to be seen. I only hope his aftercare is sufficient. I could say my heart has been broken, but sorry – it's only added to the scar tissue that's already there. If a bunch of hayseed redneck bastards out in the Midwest know how to separate prisoners by age in order to protect their investments for at least a few more years until hopefully they do drop dead, take care of them, get them away from the younger guys.
counterintuitive .
What kind of assholes are running this state? Never mind, don't answer that, I already know. If I were not here taking care of my mother who is very old, I would never have come back here. Not wild horses could have. I'll be back to reading now...! Tysm Julie
