Rhode Island prisoner can't get Notes in segregation but will not give up
I was in Maximum Security Segregation where newspapers were permitted.
Upon coming back to High Security Segregation, I learned all
newspapers, including religious ones, were prohibited, for reasons like
fire, flooding & trashing. Yet we all know it's done out of spite. I've
tried coming at them from a religious point of view to no avail. . .
Newspapers are not allowed and any other papers with this
characteristic and texture are not likely to become part of our right
to receive while in Segregation. However, if there are any willing
persons who would xerox these MIM Notes they'd be permitted and I'd
have no problems receiving at all. . . .
I want to contribute to a struggle of truth at all cost. Because I feel
it's a necessity in which all of humanity should have the chance to
knowingly decide what side to be on. . . Since coming to jail in 1999 I
earned my GED by 2001 outside of my trips back and forth to
segregation. . . I hope to earn credits for college in the future;
right now they will not allow segregation inmates any educational
opportunities. This again goes to show that jail is made to keep us all
ignorant — shouldn't proper education be totally encouraged at all
cost?
