10th May 2011

I am woke up to some banging. I go to the door and the 5 man team is taking my Comrade Christopher Young, down the stairs.  I holler  wha’ts up? Then I hear the Sgt. Timmons order him to walk to his newly assigned cell. Young refuses they roll him on his stomach and he looks up calling me Twin, as that is what we call each other..(hes black Im white) but we’ve had each others back for years) I see the hurt and pain in his eyes it kills me. My friend is taken away,, the shakedown team comes on the pod to pack his property.  As they are packing it up someone yells team on the pod, and they came to me, they are going to move me too. I tell them I need special hand cuffs due to my medical pass. The Sgt said No because I had slipped them I was to be placed in a set of regular cuffs, now I’m a big man 6’1 and 330lbs You have to force me in to them which hurts cuz it pulls my shoulders like they want to come out of place especially my right shoulder due to it being hurt in a use of force protest! and my wrist any amount of time in them cuts off the blood flow. That with the pressure is not nice. It’s painful to say the least! And then there is the leg iron issue, they want to put leg irons on me everywhere I go. Ok but the leg Iron is too small for my left ankle. Due to high blood pressure and poor blood circulation my legs swell up on me. So they have to force the iron on to my leg which hurts and cuts into my skin.  I’ve got scabs on both sides of my ankle because of this!  On 25th April 2011 I cuffed myself to the outside rec yard chin up bar in protest of medical and the inhumane conditions blood from me from 17th April in a MUOF  I cut my thumb on the screen and bleed just outside the rec yard door. There was a dead bird there too.

I'll write about that stuff later, sorry yes I am way behind (smile)  But the point is we get no medical, they take our sick calls but we do not go anywhere, sick call after sick call nothing!  I was able to get a night shift Lt. to get me to medical, but there are no Dr at night so  nothing happens.

An officer told me and the nurse secenginer (or something like that) said we do not get to see Medical because we are acting up! Protesting because we are protesting we can not get medical help. I’ve been dealing with lower back pain, I believe i’s my kidneys but because I can urinate ok they do nothing. I will continue to protest and fight for myself and the betterment of all inmates.  I was moved to a cell in a section all by myself total isolation. This is to try and stop me protesting. I don’t think so buddy!!
