My Friend Died in Prison Today

Another good white man passes away this year. He is the 2nd person who became my friend here this year and passed away. My friend Vern Gibson passed away on March 13th, 2015, and now my buddy "Mouse" James Willot dies on 10/11/15.

They both were very good to me. I will miss them both forever. I truly had bonds with both of them. Both of my friends had major liver problems. They both had been sick with a bad liver, the large stomachs, and the yellow skin.

Hep-C kills the liver in the end. If you don't either get another liver or "the cure" harvoni. Both Vern and Mouse were allowed the cure, but it was too late. Although the state has th cure and when you're very sick they give it to you, it's always too late by then. Vern and Mouse are proof of that.

Harvoni, the Hep-C cure, is so costly you have to basically be on death's door before the doctors approve the meds for you. 11 hundred or more dollars a pill. See how prison works.

We lost a good one today.

It's so hard on my heart and soul to watch 2 of my friends die in prison due to being sick. They both died at a hospital on the streets. I will honor their memory in my own way. The staff came and told me that mouse passed away 1 hour ago.

Yesterday at 3PM, he went man down. He was so weak, he couldn't even sit up. Staff called his man down a Code 3. They took him to the hospital right then.

I also want to say that I have Hep-C. I got a little bit of scar tissue on my liver. "The cure" just came out this year. The doctors said I'm not a candidate for the cure yet because I'm not sick enough.

I will write a aprial about this and demand for the state to give me the cure now. I don't want to die in pain in prison because these assholes won't allow me the cure due to it's way too costly. They want to wait until I'm as bad off as my 2 friends, then give it to me. Cure me. By then, my liver will be shot but the virus will be dead.

I need an attorney to get me out before I pass on like my good friends.

I don't even know why I'm writing this write now. My friend died an hour ago, and I'm posting this info on my blog. Mouse will never be forgotten.

Although Vacaville is a good place to do time, it's the medical facility and the people who are sent here when they are sick.

The program here is at a stand-still because staff is rolling up Mouse's property. I told staff to allow me some time to get enough money to send Mouse's property to his family. Staff said the Lt. said that the state is paying that cost.

Anything in Mouse's cell that isn't on his property can and will be donated, kept, or disposed of by staff. The whole situation is sick.

I can't bear to write another page. I'll end this post with this.

May the gods that Mouse believed in take him to his final resting place. I love you, my brother Mouse. You will be missed.

Respectfully,
Donnie Tinsley
