I have finally got a typewriter. It's the same kind as the one I had before, only I'm able to see clear through it. I'm guessing prison officials think/feel this will help them with security.
Surely this will help me. I feel, I'll be able to move a little faster & be a little clear with what I'm expressing, without making so many mistakes.
I still don't have a radio. They still don't have any inside unit commissary. But even if they had some, I couldn't buy one, no funds!
This typewriter cost $99.85, it took aal the money I had. Also postage stamps went up.
Unit officials are abusing their authority. These people are just lazy! They don't want to follow the rules, nor do what they're supposed to do. Yet get into the face of a prisoner & try to enforce a rule. This shit is crazy!
A lot of things are being abused behind these walls. No matter how bad the situation is, nothing is being done about it. Some prisoners are so ignorant - they just don't care. Or they're so stupid! Just do not know what to do. In my opinion it's a little bit of both. These inmates will search for reasons to fight with one another rather than acknowledge the abuse of authority going on. This is the sad part. This thing with how commissary is being run. We - prisoners - are supposed to be allowed to go to commissary every 14 days. This allows us to buy postage stamps. We're only allowed to buy 30 stamps each time. However, in May, we were allowed to go on the 14th, the next time was June 5th.
Do you see the problems? 30 stamps will not last. A whole lot of other things won't either.
This isn't the only problem. I just had to jack the food slut to get the floor sweeped & mopped. For 2 and a half months, 4 showers were used to shower 79 prisoners! The shower stank so bad, I started cleaning myself inside this cage. Grievances don't do any good. I filed them just to have a record to support what I share with the people. I have to battle with these people just to receive medical treatment, which I'm still in need of! This medication I'm being given for pain is destroying me from the inside. It doesn't stop the pain, but the pain would be a lot worse if I didn't take it. Each day & night, I suffer, enduring the pain. Knowing it is not going to leave me, because I'm not receiving the necessary treatment.
