At this moment I'm part of a program for mentally ill aggressive offenders. I have to be mentally ill because I rebel against an unjust system, inhumane conditions and most importantly being held hostage from my loved ones. And on top of that forced to do free slave labor or I'm put in solitary and given a disciplinary infraction and the possibility for parole is like catching smoke in the air. So instead of being some passive mindless robot I use my rights of freedom of speech and the right to organize to change my situation and my conditions. And for this I'm mentally ill and not a true Amerikan. Fuck Amerika.
Amerika is putting up these SHU's here in Texas, where you are placed in a cell with no windows, you shower right there in the cell, and you're blessed if you get one day out of a week for outside recreation. So what else are mostly uneducated prisoners to do but continue on the path of their environment. Trapped together like slaves on a ship coming across the Atlantic, there is no privacy. We can't put up a shower curtain or that's a disciplinary infraction, so you can imagine how many fights and rapes have come about in this homophobic world.
They have stopped a large majority of literature coming in to the system related to our culture, which is the non-white, using the excuse that it is sexually explicit material. And the Amerikan media has the audacity to say that socialist societies are repressive. That is why MIM Notes are needed inside these cages, to assist in our progress to better serve humanity.
