Hey GN22!

Good to hear from you bud!

Always glad to share more info about whats going on around here so I've sent an updated copy of the timeline as a post on its own. And yes, the timeline is for the prison where I'm housed.

I don't have enough contacts with the other institutions to assemble a good timeline for them. However, thru the Incarcerated Workers Organizing Committee (IWOC) (a branch of the Industrialized Workers of the World [IWW]), there's an effort to assemble timelines from all the different institutions. My timeline started as one of those. It's proven immensely helpful as part of my legal efforts related to the pandemic. I plan on continuing until my release and then pass it on to someone else.

At that point I'll be an outside member of IWOC and will be trying my best to continue my advocacy in that context. I'll have to give up my backup representative position on the IWOC Steering Committee and as the inside delegate for OSCI. I'll see if my successor is willing to maintain the timeline. I plan on asking to be given the outside contact position for OSCI and to keep aware of things that way but it's not the same as being the "boots on the ground" so to speak.

I also read your earlier reply to my October 1st post. I hope you didn't get sick also. That COVID was wicked. I still get "foggy" moments and palpitations from it. Hopefully you're thru it with no long term effects if you've had it.

BTW... Prison Break = awesome show. Most guys around here never knew about the picket holding thing but now it's a fairly common joke... maybe that's why they've been removing pockets from shirts, coats, and pants around here. Makes you wonder. At least they "reattached" pockets to the winter coats before it got too cold. Of course, the new pockets are now on the outside of the jacket so it's more of a symbolic thing.

I'll go for now. Have a good one my friend!
