Azande Press (B)

Now that Azande Zine issues
have been Beta-tested within
the Condemned population for the
chosen few, also select SQSP
mainline Inmates in in North Block,
Reception Center Housing areas
Donner Section and Alpine
units, Mule Creek Facility,
and other Zinester Community
Activist, I trust that we
have a product ready for
further distribution throughout
the Country, and beyond.

Through intense inquiry, I
discovered there existed ZERO
African American Perspective
LGBTQI+ Programming for
the Educational, Medical,
Spiritual, and Mental Health
and wellbeing in no American
Prison Facility, NONE.

I have found several Amazing
Inmate Created Self-Help
Groups for The LGBTQI+
Community, and even with
these groups, the primary
focus design is Transgender
based, and Minimal to no
African American Awareness and
Studies.

For clarity, here, I will use
the SanQuentin Model. What
most people dont know is SQ
is actually several different
Custody Level Prisons located
in one Facility.

1. The Mainline population
which is primarily a
LEVEL II Facility, and
in order for inmates to be
on this Campus and
Participate in Rehabilitative
programs, They "All" Must
Sign a written agreement
with the CDCR to not
engage in any Gang Activity,
OR acts of violence.

On the Prison Culture side of
this NON-Designated Program,
the ignorant, institutionalized,
Gang mortality inmates, View
all NON-Designated program
institutions as
a) P.C.
b) Sensitive Needs
c) Dropout
d) Snitches
e) Rapist
f) Homosexuals

In any other Custody Level like
Level FOUR, and Level THREE
institutions, in the event that
other inmates discover that
a fellow inmate was Housed
in a Non-Designated Prison,
that inmate will be physically
attacked and not allowed to
return.

Therefore, it becomes a very
fraudulant claim of any
program for LGBTQI+, to
intend to end violence against
LGBTQI+ inmates at SQSP
Because that type of program
is only offered to a portion
of the prison population that
are not under direct threat
of violence, and have already
signed an agreement with
CDCR to not forfit program
status through Gang activity
and violence.

SanQuentin's other inmate
population programs have ZERO
inter existence with eachother,
for example:

1. SanQuentin is also a
Northern Reception Center
for inmates who are
recently commited, and
are awaiting endorcement
for Housing within the
States Multiple Institutions

1. Donner Section
2. Badger Section
3. Alpine Unit
4. Carson Section

In the event that an inmate
openly identifies to any degree
as LGBTQI+ in these Units,
that inmate is subjected to
brutal assaults and beatings,
that include being Spit on,
having Water, Urin, Feces,
and Dirty Condoms douced
on them, and forced to be
rehoused in Alpine Unit
which is primarily a P.C.
Protective Custody program,
with Reception Center
Over-Flow tiers

There are no LGBTQI+
Programming and services in
Donner, Badger, and Carson
Sections, also ZERO in
Alpine, where no inmate
has signed the agreement
with The Department to
NON Designated Status
programming, as LGBTQi+
Inmates have no place to
land, ZERO resources.

2. SanQuentin is also a
prison that Houses Death
Row Inamte population

1. unit EASTBLOCK
2. unit NORTH-Seg
3. Ajustment Center
4. 1st and 2nd Tiers- DONNER Section

Through fur there resaerch, I
also found ZERO Reports, OR
DISTRICT Attorney Referrals for
the prosecution of any inmate
for Hate Crimes against
another inamte based on
Sexual Orientation, and Identity,
as far back as 30 years.

Surprisingly most Gangs and
subcultural groups was upfront
to state after a recent
struggle against The Department to
be released from years of solitary
Confinement, and back into the
CDCR Generaly Population, The
Department moved to Change to
a different Prison model called
Non-Designated programs that
would mix the 5050 versions
of the programs in all California
fusions with Gang Dropouts, SNY's,
Rapist, Child Molesters, EVERYone
in the same program.

In an attempt to stop CDCR from
moving forward with this Model.
The Gangs made an agreement
amongst themselves to end all
of the Hostilities Between the
Races, which turned out to
be a clandestien shell game
that was really a Agreement
to End The Hostilities Between
Active Gangs, Prison Gangs,
and Street Gangs.

The agreement had a second
prong for the forced, violent
physical removal of the
so-called "undesirable" inmates.

Some Gangmembers relayed to
me that they was NOT involved
in said action and agreement
with other Gangs.
I expressed to them that there is
a contribution of Blackness when
we as a people hold the White
Silence is violence disposition
over white people, and Police
officers that call themselves good,
yet do, and say nothing about
fellow white people and Police
Brutality and Murder of OUR
Black Youth, and yet, Fellow
Gang Members, of all races spit
on, and toss urin and feces on
Black-Gay Inmates in Gang Silence?

Other Gangmembers say, "Well, we
got tired of The Homies to fight
and Kill each other in Jails Prisons,
The Streets, and in The Hood, and
nobody has agreed to get Rid of
all females.

Another Gangmembers said, "Well
Homosexuals be Snitchin, and using
prison yards as a Hurting ground
to turn out The Homies.
I said "Snitchin is a regular Component
to ctiminal life, and for decades
Gangmembers have been notorious for
Snitchin. moreover. When a Gangmember
snitches, nobody agrees to get rid of
all Gangmembers, and Gangmembers are
still snitchin to this day, in fact to
Your other part, Gangs are also Known
to use prison Yards as a Hunting
grown to "turn others out" into being
gangmembers, and nobody has called
for an agreement to get rid of those
that do what You speak of.

Another Gangmember said "Well, 9 times
out of 10, agz are in prison for
being pedophile Childmolesters,
Raping little boys, so they had to go."

I replied that the stats show that
most pedophiles, Rapist, and Child molsters
identify and present as Heterosexual,
and there are more sex offenders
who identify as heterosexual Gangmembers
who are Black and on so-called
Death Row Solid yards than Blacks
assigned to so-called SNY yards
put together, to this very second.
Infact, the very Gangs that are
involved in the agreement, made the
agreement with, and are still on the
yard with, Pedophiles, Child Molesters,
Serial Rapist with Media given
nicknames and other sex related
offenses, and nobody is "Getting Rid of
them because they are the Homies?"

The last Gangmember said, "Well,
Governor Gavin Newsome supports Gay
shit, so at some point, especially if
a few fagz get somked (killed), then
He will force CDCR to Stop That
5050 program merger bullshit, and
the white man brought that
Homosexual shit to Afruca anyway,
Fuck all Fags, and you're an
Abomination

My apit became, IF my Black
adverary, with His Brilliant Book
writing ass was this ignorant to the
Facts, then how much more ignorant
was my fellow Black Gay Family?
So with love, I created Azande
