Friday May 18, 2012 7:40 PM. This is the first chance I'm getting to write. I've been in a strip cell for the past two days. On Wednesday morning about 8:45 AM I went to see Ms. Sagle. When I returned Sgt. Carlos E. Trent had taken all of my property. They placed me on property restriction where I had nothing but a pair of underwear. No mattress, no blanket, no toilet paper, nothing! So I kicked off a hunger/water strike. Which I am still on and I'm going to remain on it. I've got to stop these morons from retaliating. My only chance is to bring in people with the power to stop it. They had me scheduled for 72 hours of property restriction. But at 3:30 PM they brought me my property. Maybe they thought I'd break the hunger strike. That's just not going to happen. I received another D.R. this morning where Sgt. Carlos Trent said my cell was in disarray on Wednesday morning and that I refused to clean it up. Anyone who's a regular reader of this blog knows that my bunk is made, the cell is cleaned, the floors are washed before 8 AM. Carlos Trent is a liar and lacks the honor and integrity that this entire UCI Administration lacks. My guess is the D.R. and property restriction is a result of one Lt. Bennett Kilgore, who was assigned as the Administration Lt. here in P-Dorm this week. And can be seen messing with me and harassing me on P-4-1 left video on May 16 and 17, Sgt. Trent told me he wrote this fraudulent D.R. because I wrote up a complaint on his father-in-law who he says is Aaron Dr. Stoke, the lying S.O.B. who wrote me the bogus D.R. on April 29, saying he found a cigarette in my cell. Toay C.O. Stacy even tried to sell me on this story that Stokes is Trent's father-in-law. I'm not buying that. I believe that was an attempt. Bogus lying story to draw me away from it. Bennett Kilgore, the person who's behind these last 3 bogus lying fraudulent D.R.s that I've received. And they're probably reading this saying, "He hit this on the head." I'd be absolutely shocked if Stokes and Trent even know one another. Anyways, it is what it is. Tomorrow morning I will have missed my 9th meal, they will be placing me in R-Dorm tomorrow. Right now I'm housed in cell P-4102 the torture chamber. When I kicked off the hunger strike on 5/16 they moved Mr. Seburt Connor out and placed me in here. Which I'd rather it be me in here, than him. I'd rather suffer than see others suffer.

Not haveing water is really hard on me. My body is screaming at me right now, you dumb S.O.B. drink. But I've got no choice, I've got to lay it on the line. I'm going to die or win. For I've got to have death or liberty. I can't continue this battle any other way. I don't have the support, the financial means or counsel to fight, all I have is me and this body and peaceful protest which puts my boy in harm's way. I wish there was another way. When they did return my property today, all the material dealing with my blogs were gone. Formal complaints that were addressed and ready for legal mail gone. Motions to the United State's District Court Case No. 3111-CV-1051-J-34TEM all gone as well as letters to two attorneys and my investigator on my death penalty case, gone and all of my grievances and grievance log They're playing dirty as hell. Never underestimate a low life S.O.B. who's lacking honor, integrity and ethics. I need to get to sleep here soon. I haven't slept in days. It's been cold in here and I was having to walk throughout the night. I fell asleep resting on the toilet Thursday AM, fell on the floor, and hurt my damn back. I'm going to try to get the doctor to look at it when I see him. Well that's been the events of the last three days. I've got to lay down.

Saturday May 19, 2012 11:30 AM. I just got out of bed about 10 minutes ago. I feel pretty bad. Officer came by saying man you look bad. This is my 3rd day without water. I'll make it through today. I don't know about Sunday and Monday. In 2004 I went 5 1/2 days without water. If I recall correctly it was at the end of day 4 that I began to hurt and day five got really painful. About 10 minutes ago they went by with lunch. So this is the 10th meal that I've missed. And they still have me over here. So I don't know. I heard medical is full. It doesn't really matter to me whether I'm here or there or the outside hospital. I can't quit. I have to bring enough attention to this to get the retaliation to stop. For now I'm fixing to lay back down.

8:02 PM. I worked on an emergency motion for appointment of counsel this morning. Then laid down. I just finished an essay Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death, which I'm sending to Ann my mom's friend to send to her I need it typed up and sent to the media. In 10 hours I will have been 4 days without water. It's wearing on me now. I'm starting to hurt I'm very very thirsty. There's a good chance that this will be my last hunger strike. When I was on the rec yard on May 4, I thought that maybe the last time I ever got to go out. I did enjoy myself out there. When I last seen my mom on Mother's Day May 2011, I held her in my arms. I then watched her walk out the door. I had a feeling that I may never see her again. And this may very well be the case. I think this is my destiny. I'm going to die fighting this corrupt administration. Col. Godwin told me, don't stop go all the way. He said this in front of Major Jefferson and his officers. All the inmates down here heard it. Well I'm fixing to push my body to its limit. I'm going to go all the way. Unless the Florida Dept. of Corruption backs down and stops this idiotic retaliation. I hope they do, but I don't see that happening.

I feel really bad. I need to lay back down. I want to say so much more. Cause this will probably be my last blog entry, tomorrow when I place this in the mail. Right now I need to lay down. I'm so thirsty.

Sunday May 20, 2012 11:33 AM. I just wrote a couple of letters. Fixing to lay back down for awhile. I'm so damn thirsty. This is 4 days without any water. Whoever said the body can only last 3 days without water doesn't know what they're talking about. I lasted right at six days without water on the Feb 2004 hunger strike. Although I think, this one, will be my final stand. I'm getting attorneys ready who handled the Singletary v. Costello, 665 50 2d 1099 (Fla. APP 4th Dist 1996) case to step in and unhook I.V.s in the event the FDOC or outside hospital tries to violate ART I Section 23 of the Fla. Constitution which gives me the right as a competent adult to refuse medical intervention. It's not my wish to die, what I'm hoping is that I can bring enough attention to what's taking place here to stop any further retaliation. And make sure that I'm the last person ever placed on strip cell. If I can get Secretary Ken Tucker to come talk to me about this, and he stops all this retaliation, returns my visits, throws these fraudulent D.R.s out, stops the strip cells, and just does the right thing, I'll call this strike off. Only problem is, I may be too far gone, by Tuesday May 22, my guess is my kidneys will be shutting down. Just have to see how this all plays out. Well I'm going to lay down for awhile.

12:25 PM. Just got back from seeing the nurse. My weight is 218. On Wed I weighed 232 pounds, so that's 14 pounds in 96 hours. Blood pressure is 118 over 80. And Sgt. Summeral is an official idiot. I think he's got serious mental problems. He goes around bragging about he was in the Navy for 20 something years. I think he got kicked out due to him mental state of mind. You try to be social with this dude he come off as a pompous asshole. I tried to talk to him the other day and he went on a rant about all kinds of crazy shit, ending with if he's jacking his dick don't bother him. The cat's got mental issues. He just threatened to jump on me in the nurse's station. He had a phone call come in, and before he got on the phone he was looking down at me while I was sitting in the chair and said, "If you say something while I'm on this phone, I'll beat your ass." What's that about. That's not even my style. Summeral is clearly a mentally ill idiot. And then he threatened me when he got me back to my cell, stating he's got some torn sleeves out there that he can he out of my cell and put me on strip cell again. That's something I didn't expect of him, being a liar who would falsify D.R.s. But it shouldn't surprise me. He's another idiot who has no honor and integrity. I'm done speaking with him for good. He ask me any questions I plead the 5th Amendment. My pleading it, although I won't tell him this, is based on his mental instability. I need to lay down. I just wanted to get this on record.

2:56 PM. Captain Ellis just showed up along with Lt. Knobells and Lt. Robinson, asked if everything's alright. I said "Yeah everything okay." He said, "You don't have a mattress?" I said "Nope I've asked and asked and asked and no one will give me one." He said "We will get you one." I told him about all the missing legal work, motions, etc. He said, "I'll check on that tomorrow"

3:16 PM. Psychotic Sgt. Summerall just brought me a mattress and then went on another tyrantical rant about something. I couldn't hear all of it and wasn't going to ask the idiot what he said. The dude is a damn nut case. They need to give this S.O.B. a psychological examination. He has some serious problems! He belongs in a nut ward.

6:31 PM. Just finished writing my mom who I love with all my heart.

I've got to work on a motion to stop these people from hooking me to an I.V. Lt. Oliver came up a minute ago, talking about if I fall out they will put an I.V. in me. So I've got to stop that. Well this will probably be my last blog entry. To those who followed my blog journal and stood with me, thank you very much. Those who didn't I wish you no ill will. I wish you all peace, love and happiness.

In Peace and Love
