Daily Journal July 1-7 2013

Monday July 1, 2013

8:12 am - Just sitting here writing a couple of pastors about standing up to this death penalty and exchanging evil for evil. I finished one letter and started another. I want to write at least 3 of them today. At 1:30pm I have a call out to see the psychologist who's trying to help me get my recreation back. For now I'll get back to writing and see what else comes of today.

12:01 pm - Just finished eating. I've written 3 pastors so far. Go see Byrd in about an hour and then come back and workout.

2:56 pm - Just got back from my call out. I heard Cab is in bad shape. He's been moved to R-Dorm and they are saying he will not make it back here to P-Dorm, that cancer is fixing to get him. I hated to hear that. I really like Cab, maybe a miracle will happen and he will pull through.

5:30 pm - Just waiting on showers. I didn't accomplish anything today.

8:57 am - Just been writing a couple of letters. I was talking to a runner about 30 minutes ago. about prison etc. Found out Greg got 60 days on D.C. that was over that fight.I'm writing a blog. I started it a few minutes ago. Need to work out here shortly.

12:04 pm - Just finished working out. I had a good one. I didn't eat that lunch. Something on that tray was rotten and stunk. I couldn't figure out what it was so I dumped the whole tray. I'll eat some tuna and crackers later. Right now I'm going to cool off. I may even work out again and bump off a couple hundred pushups and do some step ups. Have to see how I feel shortly.

5:28 pm - Spoke to the chaplain earlier and then the captain. Then did some push ups and step ups. I'm washing clothes now then I'm going to bath and lay back and wait on dinner. Eat, watch some T.V. and go to sleep.

10:53 am - Just finished working out. Now when I get back from the law library I don't have to worry about doing it. I'm sitting here under the fan now trying to cool down. Humidity is a killer.

3:20 pm - Just got back from the law library. It's so hot back here. The humidity is 90% and it's raining outside so that doesn't help. Just waiting on dinner. Then wash clothes wait and get my shower and then come back and go to sleep.

8:32am - Just finished a letter and studying some scriptures. Got up at 4:30. I didn't get to sleep last night until 9:40pm. I was last in the showers. I'm getting ready to work out. After that I need to do some more writing and art work.

10:09am - Just finished my workout, and it was a good one. I've had several good ideas on this death penalty. One is to stop it. The other is to give people something to think about, so I'm going to need to write Amnesty International and the ACLU, and I've got a piece that I need to write. I just don't have anyone to type for me at the moment.

Hey, I've just finished transcribing your post. Your artwork is lovely. It was really interesting to read about your daily routine. Thanks for taking the time to write it.

Ron,
I personally have spent years in lock down, never on death row, for sure it's not a nice place to be. After reading your word's. I have come to the conclusion, you are keeping your self focused on something you believe in. There are those that also believe in your cause as well. But might not share the same conviction as you do. The fact that you have a routine everyday speaks loudly that you are doing your time and not letting it do you! Thanks for sharing with us. Keep your chin up!
