Dear Friends,
Greetings I hope and pray that my blog finds everyone in the best of health and strong spirits.
I am surviving here and staying strong, despite the barrage of other prisoners voices that I am fighting a battle that can't be won, that change can't occur, this is something I refuse to accept. And I respond, that those who voice the opinion that change can't occur (because these people with control over us don't care, and people on the outside don't care how prisoners are treated.) They create the reality that change can't happen and when this reality takes hole and becomes the majority belief, there are few who are willing to take on the battle and struggle for change.
Of these few who begin a struggle for change, drop out due to discouragement in realizing there is no support because so many people have been psychologically indoctrinated that battles for change can't be won and that struggle is a waste of time, and within the group of naysayer defeatist there are those of intelligence who will openly ridicule those who struggle for change. Calling or telling others that could be potential supporters of the struggler, that the person struggling for change is crazy or stupid. Because they themselves aren't willing to take on or endure the sacrifices of time, money, family and comfort and suffering that comes with all struggles to bring about change.
Historically emerging struggles had their naysayers. Claiming that the struggle is a waste of time, had inspired to struggle is a waste of time, had inspired to struggle for change people listened and accepted defeatist rhetoric of others the changes over the last 50 years would not have come about.
The enemies of change can make struggle difficult. In my case it includes both prisoners and PA.DOC Administrators, prisoners who encourage others not to support me or privately whisper into the ears of PA.DOC staff telling them of everything I do, or fabricate falsehoods to curry favor. I've been misconducted fortunately that misconduct wasn't successful. I've been misconducted fortunately that misconduct wasn't successful. I've been retaliated against through at least a 7 1/2 month intentional delay in medical treatment for glaucoma, causing noticeable damage to my eyesight. Using double celling as a means to retaliate against me in there refusal to give me a single cell for medical reasons related to physical health and anxiety and depression. As well as pain associated with TMJ, slight curvature of my spine, arthritis and damaged rotator's in my shoulders that interfere with my sleep and cell partners wake me up as a result. On a good night I get 4 hours of sleep and I am being retaliated against in other ways.
