Hey, LittleBrit. I really appreciate your response, and you're right.

I need my meds badly, but I have to keep this legal work rolling or everything that I am going through is for nothing. I wish there was someone in here who I could talk to, but I'm afraid that there really isn't anyone in prison who can call a friend. You wouldn't believe the bull that gay dudes go through in here, from guards and prisoners. And even though I'm openly gay, the other gay dudes don't hang with me because I'm a fighter, a good-sized guy, and not feminine at all. I don't mean to whine, but I'm pretty much a serious outcast.

I'm a pretty good writer—poems, short stories, and novels—, but you have to have a typewriter in order to send submissions to publishing companies. If I could find someone in the free world who I could trust not to steal my stuff, I could hire a lawyer within a few months.

Now, shit has gotten worse. The judges are kicking my cases out, I have been jumped and beaten so badly so many times with the guards and administration letting it happen, that I'm ashamed to say that I have been giving all of my meds to the white power gangs so that they won't hurt me anymore. I've also been doing things to the people they tell me to have sex with. After all, I'm a faggot and I like that shit anyways. :(

But hearing from you helps. It lets me know that there are people out there who care, and it makes it a little easier.

You take care of yourself, and happy holidays.

Peace :)
Donny

hi Danny,

Are you still alive? I hope so. It's so interesting for reading all your posts here, thank you for offering me such a helpless, frenzied, literary, sex-additive, and most of all, living portrait. No, I'm not setting up my condolence on your misfortune, we're all lost to some extent, you, I and the guys who hurt you. As a person with "hundreds of stories", maybe you can share more with us on this site.

You talk too much about your hyper-sexual-ability almost in every post, to indicate your confidence or safety in that homophobia and claustrophobic unit. It's not funny at all, your advantage in the free world becomes disadvantage in prison. To be honest, I guess neither violence nor so-called love/sex can make you safe. Sorry, I don't know what American prison looks like, like in Prison Break, O.Z.? But I am not in favor of violence. I think what you need is a peaceful heart. Since you have studied so much on religious, might you will agree with me, only inside peace can make you safe, and free.

Do not let your past destroy your future, which is also what I am doing now. Wish we all have a better tomorrow. Merry Xmas and Happy New Year.

Best wishes.

Mao
