Beating on Blacks in Maryland

I’ve been locked up 16 years and I could have been up town a long time ago, but I always wind up beefing with these pigs because I’m not going to let them beat on my people. They keep jumping on people up here at WCI in Cumberland, Maryland. They killed one person up here and now they are telling prisoners, look we got away with one murder, what makes you think we won’t do it again and get away with it!

They have this hearing office doing whatever they want it to do. They find everybody guilty, and tell you that if you don’t plea guilty you will get the max no matter what. So they are saying we don’t have any rights!

They are also playing with my mail and others. The office tries to send people’s books home, but only Black books. Over the last 15 years I’ve been in this belly of the beast and I have been mindful of its design to destroy the strong beautiful Black minds that enter.
