There is a place I go to be alone. A sanctuary of sorts. Perhaps to you, it won’t be. I walk down a hall with many doors, each locked with a key only I hold. The hall goes on seemingly forever, and doors appear with each new step. Lights shine through their thresholds and shadows […]

Today something happened that I haven’t seen in general population in almost 10 years… SOLIDARITY! Being as though the unit I’m currently being housed on is under “enhanced lockdown”, the rules are extremely strict. Once a prisoner tests positive for COVID-19 then that housing unit is placed on enhanced lockdown for 14 days. During those […]

I mentioned in a previous blog that a female counselor was assaulted here @SCI Dallas about a month or two ago. Her name is Ms. White. When I first came to this prison on a disciplinary transfer in 2012 she was a correctional officer here, then she was promoted to Sergeant. She later decided to […]

On September 24, 2020, a federal court granted inmates the opportunity to receive CARES ACT ECONOMIC IMPACT PAYMENTS/ STIMULUS CHECKS (see Scholl v. Mnuchin). This was a surprise to both prisoners and correctional officers. Central office instructed all unit teams to provide every prisoner with a 1040 tax form upon request. Needless to say they […]

A good friend of mine has passed away or “returned to mama” as he would say. Mr. Delbert Africa was a political prisoner, and he served over 40 years behind these walls for simply standing up for what he believe in, which where the teachings of John Africa. I was fortunate enough to receive a […]

I have a hard time understanding how there’s any doubt regarding the depth of racism in this country. Donald Trump won the Presidency using blatant, racist rhetoric, and for anyone to argue to the contrary is simply in denial. What does the making of America great “again” insinuate? To make America great once more insinuates […]

As the world knows yet another black man (George Floyd) has had his soul snatched by another white police officer. As we all know white men killing blacks is nothing new, and as a black man in America it just makes me question why do we even remain in a country where we aren’t wanted, […]

There really hasn’t been much to blog about over these past two months. The quarantine lockdown is still in full effect. 15 – 20 minutes of dayroom time for ten prisoners at a time. 10 minute shower with a five minute grace period to get there and back. And one morning call, one afternoon call, […]

Today the jail passed out order forms in order for prisoners to order wraps. I never had a wrap, but I guess this is a thing. It’s a wrap made out of flour, and they put turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, and onions on there also. They cost $6.50. The same company seeking these wraps was on […]

With movement behind these walls being extremely limited as of late, my experiences that I share with you all will be pretty much limited as well. I finally had the opportunity to step off of the unit today in order to go pick up my legal mail. I hadn’t even realized that’s it’s been over […]
