A short time ago a guy tried to take his life. The nurse came on the pod to pass out the medication, as she was going to the individuals who receive medication a prisoner was discovered unconscious. I noticed the guards & nurse running to the control picket explaining something to the picket officer, then they headed up front. Shortly thereafter, the ranking officers appeared, then many more guards arrived, more nurses would show up. At this point everyone knew something was seriously wrong. The prisoner would be rolled off the pod, no one knew how serious the problem was. I stopped a guard & asked about the situation but all she knew was that the prisoner had taken something but didn't know if he would live or die; she did say this wasn't his first time trying to take his life. The next morning I was told that he was dead.
As sad as this situation is, it's just another day. We prisoners are faced with the burden of facing death one way or the other, some just can't deal with the pressures of this life. Death is seen as an escape... We're not living, just existing until the day comes to die.
Anyway, I believe I've already told you about buying a new radio. The property officer was so bad with how she did her job that she has been removed. Yes, this is a good thing because no one has to deal with this woman's attitude anymore, but now everyone is waiting for prison officials to replace her with someone new. It's been a while since someone has come around & picked up the property that prisoners are trying to mail out. No one is complaining out loud but this is preventing a lot of people from mailing out large mail.
I had a visit with a reporter who wants to involve me in a book she's writing. She came with a guy who happens to be the chief of police in a small town in Texas. It was a surprise to me. I've thought long & hard about this but these people may be able to help me, this is always why I do anything I'm praying something good will happen. Anyway, the visit went OK, I was able to develop an idea of who I'm working with, there's a lot I wish to understand about this woman. This will come in time, I hope. Anyway, I'm not sure how this book will come out, she has written 7 books already!
