I just read your appealing article and I appreciate your calmness when writing this and not letting go your indignation and feelings of revolt you surely must have. I agree fully that inmates should be treated in a human way! I would say keep courage and don't give up the fight for more rights for prisoners. A lot of people think the same way, even if not everybody. I also agree things should be better, not only 'in there' but also 'out there'!
Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post. I am new to transcription, so I was very interested to learn about the reality of life in prison.

I was particularly struck by the line "You are the only one who can speak for yourself."
I hope I've helped make your voice a little louder.
