OCT. 11, 2013: 8:35am: SITTING IN THE LAW LIBRARY
THE POWER IS OUT IN MY BLOCK SO I CAME TO THE LAW LIBRARY TO USE THEIR
TYPEWRITERS. THIS IS AN ANCIENT PRISON AND SOMETHING IS ALWAYS FALLING
APART IN HERE. I'M SITTING HERE WITHA GUY WHO HAS SKIPPED GYM CLASS
ALL WEEK. HIS NAME IS DONALD AND HE SAYS HI TO ALL THE READERS. THIS
PRISON IS SO OLD I'M SURE THE PA TAX PAYERS WOULD BE PRETTY DISTURBED TO
LEARN HOW MUCH MONEY IS WASTED HERE. I RECENTLY LEARNED THAT OUR NATIONS
HIGHEST COURT (THE US SUPREME COURT) THEY DON'T EVEN CHOOSE THE CASES THEY
DECIDE ON. FOR INSTANCE, I WONT TRY TO EXPLAIN, PLEASE READ THE ATTACHED
ARTICLE AT THE END OF THIS TITLED "HIGH COURT RETURNING TO PILE-UP OF
PETITIONS". SO PLEASE READ THIS ARTICLE AND LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK.
RECENTLY THERE WAS A MAN NAMED HERMAN WALLACE FROM THE ANGOLA STATE
PRISON IN LOUISIANA. HE WAS ONE OF THE MEN REFERRED TO AS THE "ANGOLA 3"
HE WAS RECENTLY RELEASED FROM PRISON SO THAT HE COULD DIE AT HOME. HE
WAS TERMINALLY ILL MAN WHO WAS DYING. HE SPENT 40 YEARS IN THE HOLE FOR
THE MURDER OF A PRISON GUARD. MR. WALLACE SPENT DECADES TRYING TO POINT
OUT AND RIGHT THE MAJOR INJUSTICES AT THIS PRISON. (ANGOLA)
HERE'S A LITTLE FACT FOR YOU, I READ IN THE PAPER THAT THERE ARE
532 PEOPLE IN CONGRESS. EACH ONE IS PAID $172,000-$195,000. THAT ADDS
UP TO A MINIMUM OF $91 MILLION TAX PAYER DOLLARS. WHAT DO THEY DO?
NO ONE SEEMS TO WANT TO FIX THIS DEBT PROBLEM. WHAT DO WE NEED THAT MANY
PEOPLE IN CONGRESS FOR? THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT THE POOR, HOMELESS,
THE OVERCROWDED PRISON, THE DRUG PROBLEMS, NO ONE IN POWER SEEMS TO CARE.
I HAVE SPOKEN BEFORE ABOUT THE DEATH PENALTY AND LIFE SENTENCES. THERE
IS AN ORGANIZATION CALLED "THE OTHER DEATH PENALTY PROJECT", THEY ARE
AT: www.theotherdeathpenalty.org
THEY RECENTLY REPORTED THAT THERE ARE MORE THAN 41,000 MEN & WOMEN IN
THE USA WHO ARE SERVING A LIFE WITHOUT PAROLE (LWOP) SENTENCE. WHY?" DO
ALL OF THESE MEN & WOMEN DESERVE TO DIE IN PRISON? I DONT THINK SO. WHAT
ABOUT THE JUVENILE LIFERS? I KNOW SOMEONE WHO WERE SENTENCED TO LIFE IN
PRISON WHEN THEY WERE JUST 14 YEARS OLD. YES THEY DID KILL SOMEONE BUT
THEY WERE TEENAGERS, DO THEY ALL DESERVE TO DIE IN HERE? WITHOUT THE
SUPPORT OF SOCIETY, THE DESERVING ONES WILL DIE IN HERE. THE ONES WHO
DESERVE A 2ND CHANCE WILL NOT GET IT UNLESS WE SPEAK UP. THERE ARE MANY
INJUSTICES IN OUR NATION. FROM THE TOP OF THE FOOD CHAIN DOWN TO THE BOTTOM
BUT NOTHING GETS FIXED IF WE KEEP OUR MOUTHS SHUT. POLITICS IS RUINING
THIS COUNTRY. ITS NOT JUST THE CRIME AND DRUGS, POLITICIANS CONTINUE
TO FIGHT FOR THEMSELVES AND THEY GET RICHER & RICHER WHILE THE POOR GRT
POORER. WHAT DISGUSTS ME IS THE MILLIONS AND MILLIONS OF US TAX PAYER
DOLLARS THAT ARE WASTED ON "PERKS OF THE JOB". OUR COUNTRY IS SUFFREING
YET WE GIVE HUNDREDS OF MILLIONS AWAY TO COUNTRIES IN THE MIDDLE EAST
WHO ARE SUFFERING, ALL UNDER THE WORDS "INTERNATIONAL AID". WELL LETS
TRY SOME USA AID. THERE ARE OVER 100 MILLION PEOPLE IN THE USA WHO NEED
HELP FROM THE GOVERNMENT. IF I HAD CONTROL I WOULD DISBAND THEM AND START
OVER FROM SCRATCH. BUT IVE RAMBLED ENOUGH FOR TODAY. I JUST WANTED TO
VENT MY FRUSTRATIONS. AS FOR MY DAUGHTER KRISTA, SHE WILL BE 16 IN 5 DAYS
AND I HAD A FEW FRIENDS SEND HER A GIFT CARD SO SHE CAN DO SOME SHOPPING
AND BUY WHATEVER A 16 YEAR OLD GIRL WANTS. HER THERAPIST, HANNAH, HAS
BEEN A HUGE HELP. HOPEFULLY SOON I'LL GET SOME PHOTOS OF KRISTA AND HANNAH
SAID SHE WANTS TO COME HERE TO MEET ME AND THEN ON TO MY MOMS TO
MEET THE REST OF MY FAMILY. SO THIS IS A VERY POSITIVE STEP. WHAT WORRIES
ME MOST IS THE DAY KRISTA TURNS 18. WHAT THEN? SHE HAS NOWHERE TO GO
AND I DONT KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN. WILL THW STATE OF OHIO(THEY HAVE
CUSTODY) TURN HER OUT INTO THE STREETS? THEY ARE NOT RESPONIBLE FOR HER
ANYMORE AT 18 SO WHO IS GOING TO HELP KRISTA? CERTAINLY NOT HER MOTHER.
SO I SIT HERE AND THOUGH ITS 2 YEARS OFF, I WORRY EVERY SINGLE DAY. KRISTA
RECENTLY ASKED ME WHY AM I IN PRISON. THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AN EASY
DISCUSSION WITH HER. I HAVE TO WRITE HER AND TALK TO HER BUT I WANT TO
WAIT FOR HER THERAPIST TO GIVE ME SOME ADVICE ON HOEW TO TALK TO HER ABOUT
IT. WELL THATS ALL FOR THIS WEEK. WE ONLY GET 90 MINUTES IN THE LAW LIBRARY
AND MY TIME IS JUST ABOUT UP. TAKE CARE, GOD BLESS AND KEEP READING. I
WROTE THIS DOWN AND I HOPE I WROTE IT CORRECTLY, BUT I READ THIS BY ORSON
WELLES: WE ARE BORN ALONE
WE LIVE ALONE
WE DIE ALONE
ONLY THROUGH THE LOVE OF OUR FRIENDSHIPS CAN WE CREATE
THE ILLUSION THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE.
CIAO.
