With Misery and Purpose
by Jeremy Pinson
After 6 weeks in general population I was returned to the SHU. It sucks being in SHU but somehow knowing I deserve it this time makes it tolerable. I broke a sprinkler and flooded my unit with thousands of gallons of water. The cops seemed more amused than angry.
Here in SHU though there is chaos. I am the only jailhouse lawyer in SHU willing to help guys for free and so my assistance and legal aid is in high demand. This in its own way brings order in a small way to chaos. It fills me with purpose and keeps me busy. Ic came to the realization the other day that miserable as SHU is this is where I am needed. This is where many of my friends are. All us rebels in the same place. Only where they are profane and disruptive I am usually quiet, and fight my battles with the pen and not the sword.
So with misery and purpose I live out my days. Strangely I am content. The fight does not disturb me. My pursuit of what I believe in makes the world make more sense.
