It's been a long time since my last letter yet I'm back. My mail is being fucked with yet you have sent me your Notes again without my asking and I thank you. I hope this letter makes its way to where it's going. I have some news for MIM, some good and some not so good. I'm glad to say this will soon be over for me. Ten years dead for a crime that didn't happen and I proved it. Or I should say they did yet I could not afford freedom.
That really doesn't matter now, I did the time and I'll be paroling from IMU. I've been in IMU this time for 18 months with 6 more to go. I'm holding up on the outside yet cracking on the inside. I have seen my letters in your Under Lock & Key in the past, please don't give up the ghost just yet.
I would like to tell you that team work is the only way my self and 1/4 of SRCI IMU went on a program strike. I would also like to say 100% is just not going to happen. There are some who like to get fucked over by DOC, yet 1/4 of IMU C-Pod refused to do their brainwashing program packets. We ripped them up and pushed them out the door and on to the tier. We also flooded out to let it be known we're one. We got bum rushed and 90% stayed strong. CO spray was used, many cans. We lost to the CO spray yet we won a long going fight for batteries. It sounds like a lot for so little yet when you have nothing, a new battery every week and a backup battery is like Xmas.
I have to commend the 1/4 of IMU in winning as a team of one. The only way is one, comrades. And for the other 75% of SRCI IMU, I have nothing to say to them.
You see if we can pull together and one and take control of IMU beds then they have lost control. If 50% of IMU is put on IEC, 50% of the bullshit beefs would stop. If 100% could happen then no one gets in. The downfall is no one gets out. The big picture is control. You see IMU is frozen. There is always going to be discomfort and hardship in war, comrades. It's time to stand up as one and put the bullshit aside. We are gearing up for round two. Stand up, comrades!
