Update on Massachusetts prisoner transfer to Dallas County Jail

You have a web page that hasn't been updated since 1999. The page in question is about the transfer of Massachusetts State Inmates to the Dallas County Jail.

I was one of the prisoners that had a rifle pointed at my head while being moved; my feet almost never touching the ground from my housing unit to the visiting area because I was carried by two tact team members by the armpits.

At the visiting area I was asked if the emergency contact information in my file was valid, as all other prisoners. We were loaded on a prison van which we almost tipped over by rocking.... We should have... We would have received a major beating for our actions, but would have been spared what was yet to come.

We found out very quickly that the intelligence level of the Dallas County Correctional Officers was less than normal, so we took advantage of that fact...

Still, I didn't see the Sun or get fresh air for three years.... I will give an accurate recount, if you want, of the transfer, housing conditions and how they (the c.o's) pitted inmate against inmate to remove anger originally vented at them.

So what has been done about this.... Weld doesn't currently live in the US, and where is Celluci? Both deserve worse than they are receiving.

Contact me if you are (only) seriously to read my accounts of Dallas, and what we did to maintain our heath and lives.
