STG labeling, nickel & diming in Colorado

The injustice system makes it difficult to organize here. I am at a level four facility where any group of more than two people is subject to threats and harassment. The only exceptions being those with a religious agenda. This has by no means quelled my interest in MIM, nor stopped me from introducing others (one at a time) to MIM's program and platform.

I've used Hurricane Katrina as an example of how the U.$. makes the oppressed suffer while the Amerikan imperialist forces are scattered around the globe imposing their capitalist agenda on other nations. Meanwhile, they are unable and/or unwilling to aid the drowning poor of this country.

While in my current position, I regret that I am unable to make a monetary contribution to MIM. Pay in the Colorado DOC is $0.62 a day, and a five-day week is a rarity. 20% of our pay is deducted for a variety of questionable bureaucratic causes. Any dental or medical needs are at the cost of $5.00 per visit. And of course we are required to purchase all of our basic hygiene needs, toilet paper being the only exception.
