Reading pg. 10 of you April 1st issue, It is true what the inmate said that New York State prisoners are not allowed to send stamps in envelopes and for any reason that envelope happens to come back to the facility, that inmate will be in a lot of trouble.
-- a New York Prisoner, September 2003
I am writing you to inform you that today I received your letter stating that you never received my 30 stamps and my manifestation about the ALKQN... The mail room clerks at this facility always censor our mail from Monday to Friday and they always get away with it.
I want you to know that these employees and the CO's here are getting away with murder by abusing their authority towards us because we are in the box and every time we come out our cells to go to recreation they always put shackles around our waist and once they do that, that's when an asshole CO will jump you with other CO's just because you're Black or Hispanic. In this facility there's a lot of racist CO's who wake up always on the wrong side of the bed and then take it out on us because of what we are, represent'n revolutionary...
I want the whole world to know that I am a revolutionary Latin King from the East Coast NY and every King in New York City and State knows me by the name King Storm and I'm not scared to tell the world how proud I am to represent my holy crown and my beloved nation to the fullest degree that no outsiders can't reach. I will refuse to let the united snakes of amerika break me down physically and mentally as well as spiritually because they will never take my crown away from me because my crown is carried within my heart, mind, and soul.
So if any Rey's reading this MIM Notes, please let it be known that we need to stop fighting among each other and lets bring it back how it use to be with love and unity so that everybody doesn't have to look at us as gangs which we know we not.
Amor de Rey
--King Storm, October 2003
MIM adds: Another new comrade from New York sent some stamps to support us with his first letter which came to us opened and stapled shut with no stamps inside.
