“PRISONERS OF OPPRESSION”

8/9/00

It is no coincidence that life is getting to be hell in this belly of oppressive dungeon, Society calls “The place of rehabilitation”...The only thing that it rehabilitates is the mind for more aggression towards it’s fellow man, Don’t let the feeling of being safe for this time while the so-called criminal is being subjected to all types of inhumane treatment within these walls.

You have nothing to fear, As you might say we committed the crime so you have to suffer the consequences of this hell...Well I guess that may be true, But for the innocent ones that has to wait 15 to 20 years for this so-called justice system to work what about them??? Is it right for those men, woman and children who suffer the pain and abuses that go on within these walls to be oppressed to the point of committing suicide or being subjected to harsh mistreatment of medical care or food that has the necessary nutritional value to sustain life itself? or have rats running around your cell? Even if you think that is alright which I doubt even society things that should be alright, No matter what, we all live under the same laws that keeps this wonderful america going, It’s called the constitution.

I don’t know if you feel as though we are less then human because we sit on Death Row awaiting patiently for Death to come, whether we are innocent or guilty we still await this revengeful fate everyday that we are imprisoned, But we should not have to experience the harsh punishment of cruelty.

I have not told anyone this, But I have had a cancerous tumor on my side for the past 7 years, I didn’t think nothing of it at first so I went on keepin on until one day about 4 or 5 years ago I went to the (MTA) medical treatment advisor and brought it to his attention, He looked at the lump and told me they don’t do anything for that. So as we all know up in here it’s like that, But eventually if I don’t deal with it I will die but who gives a damn I’m on Death Row, I deserve everything I get and I know I’m innocent But if I think like society , I’d rather kill an innocent man inorder to get to a guilty one.

You know I have this good friend in England, And I occasionally write to her some of the things that goes on in this hell and you know she once told me that I was an angry person, Well I told her I wan’t an angry person when I was kidnapped and brought to this oppressive beast. Believe me the men, woman and children that are in this man made hell are not looking for sympathy! We are only looking for JUSTICE.
