Much has happened to me, not sure where to begin...
On August 21, I was gassed by unit officials for refusing to move, I'm now being housed on F-pod as a level-3.
I didn't move because I was protesting the disciplinary case & the lack of fairness by unit officials. When I'm right, I'm willing to suffer just like I'm willing to sit here until I die! I will not make any deal with the prosecutor for life in prison! Anyway, 5 men ran into the cage to remove me. As usual I was taken to a filthy ass cage with pepper gas covering my body, in my eyes prevented me from seeing anything. Had to sleep naked on the floor for 3 nights! The guy next door to me understood the meaning of what I was dealing with: he sent me a small towel & soap, I was able to wash the gas from my eyes, I was able to clean up the filth.
No need for me to continue, things didn't get any better. The next day I was moved to a level-3 section. You heard correctly, I'm now a level-3. Honestly, fighting an injustice, I would do the same thing all over again.
That new gas prison officials are using burns like I've been dropped in fire! I will do what I feel is right, no matter the circumstances.
Oh well, things continued to get worse. On Sep.10, Polunsky Unit went on lockdown. On the positive side: I was trying to lose some weight anyway. This is what happens when sitting in the fire. This section was the first to be searched, which was a good thing: I didn't have to sit around waiting & wondering what was going to be taken from me - not much was taken since I don't have very much property.
I was placed on 30 days' commissary restriction the first time, 45 days the second time I went to court. I'm running low on stamps and it will be 2 more weeks before I'm allowed to go to commissary again.
My lawyer came to see me, I know it was a surprise to me as well. He said he was just checking in because it's been some time since he visited with me - haven't seen him for many months...He told me the prosecutor is ready to make a deal with me: she wants to take me off death row & give me life in prison. I asked him why she wants to do this and he said because she knows she can't win. If my appeals were allowed to move forward, the appeal court would send it back & make them re-try me - the prosecutor doesn't believe she can win a new trial. I told him I want to be free! I don't want to spend the rest of my life in prison!
He told me I could have some time to think about it, but 2, 3, 10 years from now I'll still feel the same way. That's what I told him.
No one is listening to me. The prosecutor knows I'm innocent. These people are letting me sit here because I don't have a paid attorney, a lawyer who'll fight for my rights. Because no one is listening or accepts what I'm saying to be true, no one is taking action, everyone feels they don't know what to do or what can be done to help me.
The first week of football started Sep.9, my team, the Houston Texans, won their first game. I wasn't able to listen to the radio, I hate this. I'll only get my radio back if I go the next 60 something days without a disciplinary case. This isn't a problem as long as none of these guards are in a rush to get home...
