Again, I was moved. I am now in the McConnel Unit in Beeville, Texas. I was moved last week. It was two layovers at two other prisons to finally get here. The first was the Walls Unit, it's an experience I'll never forget.

I was on Texas death row for two and a half decades. Never got an execution date, so I was never sent to the walls. It's sight no one should ever. I paused as we walked in the wee hours going to breakfast. Population inmates go outside to the recreation area that you can see the area that houses the gurney, and the cells each have a flatscreen TV in. I said a prayer, even both times I entered or exited the chow hall. I was housed on O-side of the Walls. Most will never experience where I've been and now, to this day, this unit is identical to the layout as Stiles and Polunksy Units.

It's been a journey, to say the least. Ever since being first on the Wynne. Now I have been in numerous prison units.

I know individuals read my blog, and I do encourage those who do read to what I write to send me your most open thoughts. For Between the Bars, this is my new address:

Guy S. Alexander #1996573
McConnell Unit
3001 S. Emily Drive
Beeville, TX 78102

Is this going to be the permanent unit? I can only pray that it will. At least for a few years.

To bring most up to date with my medical condition, I do still get dizzy spells. But lately the dizziness lasts but a few seconds. If I am standing for longer periods, I get dizzy images in my right eye. It is like a series of lines or a slight headache effect. I was told by a nurse at John Sealy that while I was in her care, she witnessed the way I looked when I first arrived on August 21st. It was the way the eye socket was crushed. I was kicked in the head. It's why I've got life injuries.

I am able to discuss this. I've always had a strong mind and heart. I talk it so that I can maybe prevent another who had this happen lose confidence. For me, it's a healing process. If I keep it all bottled up inside, it's not good. Talking, I think, helps educate the public and give awareness. I don't know why this took place and why or who did it to me. Prison is a violent place. Anything can happen. We all live in this world and we all should get along.

I can add that I was asked by a producer in London about a documentary. This is about a person who looked like myself. Once had a death sentence and now is serving life. These individuals are interested. They have done one series, I Am a Killer. They're wanting to do a second series. Of course, if I have what they are seeking, it can be on Netflix.

I've been approached before by a journalist. So things are working in my life.

Again, I'll try to send in my next update of my life. It's a challenge. If I can use that word again. I do want those who read this to give your acknowledgements. I look forward to anyone's questions or if you maybe have answers.

I will also soon be doing another type of blog. My friend in VA Beach also knows of a free blog. More and more time to write. This is from the last update. Till now, let's say January 2019.

Will write soon. Have an awesome week... to all!
