Dear Readers,

Howdy! I hope you all are well and happy. As I was saying...
So, I was living with Shay, the institutionalized bitch. After a couple of weeks, the CO (also a bitch) came and told me to go to the Lieutenant's office. Never a good sign. Before I left, I was sure to tell Shay, who was borrowing my radio his/her property came in, to be sure and give my radio to the CO to pack up with my property in case I didn't come back. So, I went to the office around 1:30pm and was then taken to R+D (where you are "processed" when you first come in) and put in a small cage that just has room to sit and stand in (it's about the size of a phone booth).
I waited for about an hour and finally the Captain showed up. I was told that a number of "copouts[?]" (Requests to Staff) had been sent in reporting that I had been having sex with another inmate, Roy. Now, I admit that I did like Roy, but we didn't even hang out together and he pretty much only spoke to me when he wanted something, which was getting old. The Captain went on to say that an "outside agency" had gotten involved and that he had no choice but to lock both of us up in the SHU (the "Hole"), pending investigation. I asked him why other inmates never got locked up due to such rumors and he took offense that I suggested that I was being singled out. Whatever.
Then, Roy and I were locked up in separate ranges (halls) in SHU. Of course, I strongly suspect that all those copouts[?] came from my sociopath gay ex-cellie, "Ricky Bobby". That should be right up his alley.
To make matters worse, I was put in a cell right next door to Sociopath Junior, "Dusty". Dusty immediately started yelling at me for everyone on the range to hear that I was a "rat" and responsible for his being locked up, that I was a child molester, that I was spreading AIDS all over the compound, etc., etc.
The fact of the matter is that Atwood himself worked for SIS (investigative staff) and constantly was talking to staff about some issue. He was locked in SHU after trying to get his cellie (whom he was paying for sex yet constantly fighting with) locked up by reporting that he was doing drugs (falsely reporting). After his cellie's drug test came up clear, this guy was questioned about Atwood's activities and "Dusty" was promptly put in the Hole. Further, Atwood is convicted of being with minors, I'm not. He's a sociopath.
Well, I was in the Hole for a week, listening to Atwood's constant yelling, when I was finally questioned by SIS. The guy only asked the standard questions (e.g. "Has anyone pressure you for sex?" etc.) and it seemed like he only asked that because it was standard procedure. It's like he knew it was all BS.
I was told later that day when the administrative staff came through that I (we) would be released on Thursday, the SHU "Kick Out" day. Thankfully, I was, while Dusty was screaming the entire time. Wonderful.
To be continues..
Love + Blessings,
