2:30
Hey, welcome, Welcome, Welcome, Welcome to Duck Crew pocast I am
2:37
the visionary Queen Angela. Imagine a state where justice is not blind, but
2:44
whether she wears a blindfold that has been corrupted by greed and power. A
2:53
state where the very institution that is meant to uphold the law has been tainted
3:02
by the root of corruption. Welcome to the State of Texas, where the
3:08
parole board and other aspects of judicial system has become a breeding ground for dishonesty
3:17
and injustice. If you guys have been following me, you guys know that
3:23
I have been sharing some stories of individuals that are currently incarcerated within the TDCJ,
3:32
which is the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. We know that in most
3:38
states, when you go into the Department of Corrections, into these facilities,
3:46
they the sole purpose is to rehabilitate. There's some type of rehabilitation program.
3:54
Where the State of Texas truly do not believe in rehabilitation and and there has
4:00
been a pattern of miscummed up and a pattern of denial, and where they've
4:12
just been keeping things from those that are incarcerated, things that will help them
4:18
to read, to re enter society and to get back into society. I
4:27
know you guys are probably expecting to have Miss Tina Duram on tonight, but
4:32
she had an emergency and she's not able to be here with me tonight.
4:40
But nevertheless, we will get her back on the beginning of the year as
4:45
we close out. One thing about being a podcaster, being a host,
4:51
you have to be prepared to adapt. I know a lot of times when
4:57
your guests don't show up, a lot a hosts like to cancel their shows
5:02
or they don't know what to do. That's life, you know. Emergencies
5:11
happen, Things happen, and we have to learn to adapt. I always
5:17
take every opportunity as an opportunity to share. There's always something if you are
5:27
passionate about what you're doing, there should always be a topic that you can
5:32
chime in on that you can talk about for at least thirty minutes to an
5:38
hour without having a guest or without having people chime in. And that's something
5:45
that as you grow and become more aware of podcasting and a lot of the
5:55
things that that you learned along the way, Like we don't know it all
6:01
and some of us, y'all see us doing this, We've been doing it
6:05
for a while. Some of us have been doing this for a while.
6:10
You look at some of the hosts over on the network that I'm on,
6:13
They've been doing it ten thirteen years, So they can do it with ease,
6:19
with the breeze. You know, when I first came on, you
6:23
know, I struggled. I struggled the whole a thirty minute show. Now
6:29
it becomes second nature because you developed these things that you are passionate about,
6:36
things that you can talk about, things that you can you know, engage
6:40
with people about. And right now I'm on this Texas corruption in the State
6:47
of Texas, this parole board here. Lately, I've been focused on the
6:56
food situation, the housing situation, and a lot of the things that's taking
7:00
place inside of TDCJ. One of the concerns right now is food with some
7:10
of the inmates say they're maggots. Some of the inmates are saying that they
7:15
are weak bugs. Regardless of what they are, They're not supposed to be
7:23
in food that you consume, that that you are feeding your the inmates,
7:29
regardless regardless of what kind of creatures they are or insects they are. They
7:35
should not be in food that you are serving inmates, regardless of the crime,
7:41
regardless of the time, regardless of the situation. They are humans and
7:46
they deserve to be treated like humans wholesome meals. No, they may not
7:51
get the five star meals. We're not asking for you to give them caveall.
7:55
We're not asking for you to feed them cray up lids and lobster,
7:58
but feed them food that will nurture their bodies and allow them to be be
8:07
feeling and not manly churish, you know. And and that's how we're asking.
8:15
You know, we're not asking for a whole lot. We're not asking
8:20
for luxury, we're not asking for extra we're not asking for anything out of
8:26
the extra or ordinary. We're just asking for individuals to do their jobs and
8:31
to make sure that what is supposed to be done is being done within these
8:37
facilities. And that's not what's happening. And we need to make sure that
8:41
this is what's happening, So y'all, as y'all continue to support me here
8:48
on the Crew podcast and here whatever platform I may be on sharing about the
8:56
Free Texas campaign and sharing about the things that it's taking place in the state
9:03
of Texas. Y'all, there's an urgent cry for you know people to wake
9:09
up and to see what has been plaguing the state of Texas for decades.
9:16
We talk about three to four decades of corruption. This is not stuff that
9:20
just has happened overnight. This is stuff that people have been turning the blind
9:24
eye in a closed ear to for decades. And it's time that it stopped
9:31
again. I say, imagine a state where justice is not blind, but
9:37
whether where it's a blind fold that has been corrupted by greed and power.
9:43
Y'all, It's time for it to stop, y'all. I have some special
9:48
guests that's stopping by voices from behind the walls, voices from within TDCJ,
9:56
and we are allowing them to share their story. I have someone on the
10:00
line that live in on the line right now and I want them to introduce
10:05
themselves. If you will please introduce yourself. My name is Jimmy Johnson.
10:09
Hell ID number is zero one A nine eighty seven one seven. Apparently being
10:18
concentrated at the Colony John B. Colon a unit in Kennedy, Texas,
10:24
apparently serving a forty five year sentence aggravated robbery that was enhanced with the private
10:35
conviction. That's how I got the forty five years right now. You know,
10:41
I'm fighting my case because in February the twenty second, twenty twenty two,
10:48
of course UH sent me some paperwork called the non protard border and following
10:54
me that the prior conviction that was used to enhance my sent to forty five
10:58
years. But yet, of course UH failed to correct any and all legal
11:11
documents and likeness that was connected. UH. Okay, see, I gotta
11:18
stop you. I gotta stop you because I want people to truly understand what
11:24
you just said. Because what you just said to people outside people that's free
11:31
in the free world, it makes no sense to us because how can how
11:35
can they tell you that the information is erroneous and it is you know,
11:45
not acceptible in in in it's that's that. That makes no sense to me
11:50
that they tell you that that they did something wrong. In other words,
11:56
they did something wrong. If if you did something wrong, then why have
12:01
you not corrected it? That that that's that, That's That's what I'm hearing.
12:05
Now, make me make me understand this. Now, if if they
12:09
said they acknowledged, they acknowledged that they did something wrong, these people sent
12:16
you. You didn't ask for this, they sent it to you telling you
12:20
that they did something wrong. Okay, go ahead in county, Miss Kim
12:26
Hogg in uh the trial court judge in and eighteth take a courting raz County.
12:33
I need this novelton order. You mean that stating that the wrong right
12:41
there? Okay. So if that's the case, then if you know that
12:46
y'all, if you know that y'all did this, you know that y'all did
12:52
erroneous charges, then what are y'all doing to correct this? Because y'all did
12:58
this. You you didn't do it, they did it. So what are
13:01
they doing to correct this? And how can you send somebody that and still
13:11
have them incarcerated? Yeah, right now I'm doing an illegal sentence. My
13:16
sentence right now is illegal because the punishment range out that erroneous prod conviction the
13:22
punching arrange changed, meaning now I could have gotten less than forty five years,
13:26
way less than forty five years for the ben his prog conviction. But
13:31
right now, as of this date, on my judgment for the aggravated robbery
13:35
still has the prior conviction, which was Tampa with a dead body, she
13:41
don't even exist no more. On my night for the rob got tamper with
13:46
a dead body. It don't even exist no more. But yeah, it's
13:50
still there. You know, when they're my sittings, he illegal? Which
13:54
are the course supposed to be supposed to bring me back to court and resentence
13:58
me without being hanced? Right now, have eleven years in on the forty
14:03
five, they can bring me back and re send them to me and I
14:05
can go home. But I can't for some reason, they won't let me
14:09
get in front of a judge. So what is the reason? So what
14:15
what is the reason for them not bringing you back to court? So have
14:20
you contacted someone? Have you reached out to someone? Were you okay?
14:26
Were you assigned a a public defender when you were first sentenced? Definitely,
14:35
the not a public defender, but a quarter upon their attorney. Yeah,
14:37
that's what we Yeah, the quarter for attorney with the Jerome garn that was
14:43
a point for my case wasn't working for me. He was working for the
14:46
state. Yeah, that's that's basically what they do. And that's what we've
14:52
come to feel like it was his job, it was his job to investigate
14:56
the prod condition that he did. He never he never investigated the pride conviction.
15:01
So I unknownly heated true to a crime that I didn't even know that
15:05
I was playing true to you know what I mean? And it wasn't my
15:09
father was his fault because that was his job to investigate it before I feed
15:13
the truth to him, you know. But I wrote a lawyer, several
15:16
lawyers. I wrote the lawyer, Miss Allie Book in Houston, said that
15:18
all of my paperwork, you know that the court sent me showing all this.
15:24
I wrote a lawyer, David Schulman in Austin, Texas. I mean
15:28
said them all my paperwork explaining the whole situation. No response. So have
15:31
you contacted any of the any of the local law schools to see if they
15:39
would with a system. I contacted the Innocence Project, Texas Universe, the
15:48
University of Texas Innosent Project Network, and I filled out their applications and the
15:54
consent forms. And so far it's been five months they had my case.
15:58
I said he was doing investigation. I sent a lot of people of the
16:00
city on investigation. But I have heard up back in five months. I
16:04
guess they still doing the investigation. Well it may it may take him a
16:08
while, but I see that they theyre in Milwaukee, somewhere up north.
16:18
The Innocence Project just they just freed a a young man thirty six years old.
16:26
He was sixteen years old when he went to prison, all kinds of
16:32
army. They violated his rights in so many different ways. And you know,
16:38
he shouldn't have even been incarcerated, but he did twenty years and they
16:44
ended up having apologized and that man they finished have to pay that man for
16:48
all that time. And they the state of Texas, that's what they afraid
16:52
of. But I keep telling people, and I'm not gonna stop telling them.
16:56
If if if you're in the state of Texas, y'all, there's so
17:00
much that has taken place in the state of Texas that it's it's sad.
17:04
If you have a family member that's incarcerated, y'all, I'm telling you,
17:11
stand up for your family member. Investigate these these these charges, and and
17:18
and in this this time that they've been given you, you you got to
17:22
look at and and observe what is going on with your family member. Because
17:27
what these people are banking on is that these people have nobody on the outside
17:32
side that would care and would fight for them, and they know what they're
17:37
doing is wrong. They know what they're doing is inhumane. They know what
17:41
they're doing. Every day I wake up and I get a phone call or
17:47
a e message from somebody saying that this is taking place. This is taking
17:52
place, and you I'm just sitting here listening to all of these people.
17:56
And it's a pattern, a wrong for and overly incarcerated people in the state
18:02
of Texas, and it's sad most of us, like myself, we got
18:07
the people from the court to prove and show that they're wrong. I generated
18:17
that they gave me, telling me that they messed up, telling me that
18:21
they're wrong, but trying to you. You, I'm I'm I'm I'm sitting
18:27
here listening to you. I listened to four or five other cases the same
18:33
thing, where the court has contacted these people and told them, well,
18:37
if this is correct, or if this is correct and this is this and
18:40
this is that and this is that, then you shouldn't even be incarcerated this,
18:44
this should be vacated. This should if you know this should be vacated,
18:48
If you know this should be that, and this should be that,
18:51
then why can't you get up off your butt and go walk over there and
18:53
tell somebody and make the doors swing open, right that that's what That's all
19:02
I want is the people that that is thrown around all of this because what
19:06
is what is happening is people are afraid to to to turn one stone because
19:12
they know if they turn one stone, they're gonna have to turn another one
19:15
and turn another one into all the stones are turned. And see they've been
19:18
covering up stuff for decades, and see that they are afraid to unleash this
19:23
stuff because once the it unleased, a whole bunch of stuff is gonna be
19:27
uncovered. But guess what, it can't be stopped now. It can't be
19:32
stopped now. It's especially with what's going on with the juveniles. As soon
19:36
as these juvenile people get hoped to get whin or what's going on with these
19:41
lost juvenile records, they not gonna be able to hide it. Loan,
19:45
you know how many juveniles are locked up that could be home free that could
19:52
help, could remedy this problem of overcrowding, the problem of understaffed. Like
19:59
all these people that are incarcerated, overly incarcerated and wrongfully incarcerated. If these
20:03
people were home with their families, they wouldn't have to worry about not being
20:08
staffed. They won't have to worry about out the extra suicide watch because just
20:17
what people wouldn't be on suicide watch because they would be home. They will
20:21
they would be home with their families. See, a lot of this trauma
20:26
has been brought on by being in prison. A lot of these people didn't
20:32
have these issues until they came to prison. And I'm here over and over
20:37
again, I hear these inmates say, if you win the criminal when you
20:42
came, you're gonna be the one when you leave, You're gonna be a
20:47
better criminal. You're gonna because that's all they teach you. They don't teach
20:49
you to rehabilitate. They're not teaching rehabilitation. They're taking everything out out of
20:57
the prison system that will help the people, help them read inner society.
21:07
They're taking all the schooling away, they're taking all the trades away, They're
21:11
taking all the classes away so that they can better themselves and prepare themselves to
21:18
be back in society. Like the whole gist of prison is supposed to be
21:26
to her abilitate. But I've come to realize that it's all about money and
21:30
power. In the state of Texas, is all about money and power.
21:37
You look at the six states that do not pay their prisoners to perform work.
21:44
You look at those six states. Texas is one of them, South
21:48
Carolina is another. You look at the six states and it tells you about
21:53
these six states. It tells you about the people that run these six states.
21:59
And then you look get the people that have been in control of these
22:03
six states. Why they're not progressing because they're getting free labeled. Guess what
22:07
this free label is another form of slavery. You look at the amount of
22:12
people that are incarcerated. Look who's behind these prison walls. You look who's
22:19
behind the prison walls. It ain't the people that are sitting in these offices.
22:29
They don't look like they don't look like us. And then you talk
22:32
about how they end up putting our brothers and sisters behind prison walls, fossified
22:41
documents, brother stepping indictments. You talk about the paper play scandals, You
22:52
talk about the paid We call them public defenders here where I'm from, But
23:00
we talk about these public defenders that goes on to become assistant district attorneys,
23:06
that goes on to become a district the district attorneys and then they come on
23:12
and go on up the ladder and get on the appeal or different courts,
23:21
and then they begin to take over. And then they lock out these inmates
23:26
that they put in prison because every time they come up for parole, guess
23:32
what, they can all set them, They can deny them, they can
23:37
kick them off, they can do what they want to do because guess what,
23:41
they're controlling everything. Y'all. You gotta stop, you gotta stop you
23:47
talking about you listen to this man. One of the main things in right
23:53
now, it's dealing with uh, you know an a lawyer. Yeah,
24:03
we're doing them on their own pro se. So we finally rints. We
24:07
give them all the eptences they asked for, showing that we need some type
24:11
of relief for the best things that they made. We final these rints with
24:15
the court. I mean, the courts play games. Instead of selling them
24:18
where they're supposed to go. They sent a straight to the Quarter of Crilineal
24:21
Appeals and the Quarter Crinont Appeals. There brother stamping them denial without a written
24:25
order, you know what I mean. And then they're given the reason why
24:27
they're denied without a written order, and they come to find out that the
24:30
trial court is not even looking at they hate its rich. Yeah, they're
24:34
not looking at them. They're just staffing them. They're just stamping them in,
24:37
denying them. That's what they're doing. Because let me tell you,
24:41
y'all, y'all, y'all, y'all mean, y'all, y'all, y'all can
24:45
make more money to them, right they're sitting in prison, then y'all can
24:49
on yall own making money for yourself. Right. People just don't understand.
24:57
So we need help, and we need help. You need some lawyers on
25:00
willing to do some pro bono work, you mean, and look at these
25:04
casis, you mean, and help people that are ready to get out of
25:10
prison, get out of a person gets back to their families. You pick
25:11
up the cents in the society because it's a lot of us in here to
25:15
change our lives in here, you mean, literally, we've been here so
25:18
long. We can change our lives. You mean, we the people that
25:21
we used to be. You mean, I'm not professing to be an angel
25:23
anything like that. A lot of us ain't. But we know the same
25:26
people we were seing thirty years ago, and we're growing up in prison and
25:32
people have to understand that because even people are on the outside. You know,
25:37
a lot of us, we've made mistakes, a lot of us could
25:40
be right there. But we're not the same people that we were ten years
25:44
ago. We're not the same people that we were last week. Every day
25:48
we we we are growing and develop and moving forward. But the State of
25:53
Texas don't believe in rehabilitation. They don't believe in second chances. They don't
25:57
believe that people change. But people do. And it's been proving all over
26:02
the world that that people do change. Right now, thirty years mean,
26:11
ain't nobody thinking about breaking over home. You're trying to get on to your
26:15
family. And that's what I've that exactly, and that's what I was saying.
26:22
You know a lot of these people that that we're talking about, Man,
26:26
these people in their fifties, they seix this in their seventies. What
26:29
who Who? Who's gonna break up? Who gonna break the law and go
26:33
back after they already know ben in there, They already know been in there.
26:36
You're talking about twenty five thirty some people. Somebody said the other day
26:40
forty years that somebody's been locked up. Who won't Who got who? Wants
26:45
to break the law and end up back there when you've already seen most of
26:49
your life there. You've lost so much, and then the majority of y'all
26:55
have been there wrongfully. So you you, you, you, you've lost
27:00
so much of your life, so much of your life that you can't get
27:03
back. No amount of money can replace the trauma that you've endured in that
27:11
place and out of that place. Not only that, the trauma that you
27:17
have cost your family, because guess what the absence the absence from your family.
27:23
Yeah, exactly, exactly. And that's what people don't understand. People
27:30
don't understand that these representatives they go home to their families every night. But
27:37
these are the ones that have the power to make these decisions and uphold these
27:41
laws that they put in place. These are laws that they have in place,
27:45
and they won't even uphold the laws. I constantly reach out to Ron
27:48
Reynolds and Carlos Sherman, Monica de la Cruz. But these people can go
27:55
home, they can enjoy their families every single night. I see them on
28:03
social media. You know, they get to enjoy a milestones, but so
28:10
many have y'all have missed out on milestones because of the State of Texas.
28:17
The State of Texas have caused so many people lives to be altered. And
28:22
this is the things that cannot be taken back, things that cannot be taken
28:30
back. But I I just I thank you for coming on and and and
28:37
shedding light too, you know. And I hope everybody else give up the
28:44
fight, you know, y'all out there, keep praying for us, you
28:47
know, keep pushing forward. He kind of system, y'all again, that's
28:51
all we can do is the best weekend and end, Keep fighting out cases,
28:55
keep writing the course, you know, try to get lorders to take
28:57
our case. People with will need to be said. I mean, and
29:03
just hoping created uh God, take you. That's it because a lot of
29:10
us changed again, but a lot of us has gone in our life.
29:14
We're not the same people we used to be anyway, period. Right,
29:17
They're the second chance, right right. So we're definitely putting out a plea
29:26
tonight. If there's someone that is tuning in. If you are a lawyer,
29:32
you you do legal work, they're they're in desperate diere need of your
29:37
assistance. Within the t d C. J. Wow, I've been I've
29:48
had several complaints about the food within T D C J. Before we leave,
29:56
I would like for you shed some light on that that situation in Connolly.
30:03
What what do you what is the food like in Connolly? M H.
30:07
Food is terrible to be blood, you know, I mean a lot
30:14
of Johnny's. Johnny's is a brown paper bag with a peanut butter sandwich that
30:19
consists of uh one one pancake and a biscuit, and and and and a
30:27
couple of half a couple of half, a white foam, a couple of
30:30
grips is a breast. They the last couple of days, you know,
30:37
regular Johnny's in the afternoon on the evening would be a peanut butter sandwich,
30:42
uh, corn bread, uh, some type of meat sandwich and beef and
30:51
stuff like that. A baby size scoop on the bread. And it's cold.
30:56
It's not hot, it's cold. Uh you know anything. It's sad
31:02
because they got before the kitchen. But for some reason they like they don't
31:08
want to give give it to us. You're not giving up the problem.
31:12
Else you're not getting a problenutrition. But right grievouses make complaints another about it,
31:19
haven't get another about we need outside of help. Well, they're not
31:26
gonna do nothing. I'm I'm right now. I've been getting complaints about maggots.
31:30
I've been getting complaints about weak bugs. Somebody said it was weak bugs,
31:37
somebody. It don't matter what it was, the fact that they were
31:40
serving it, and it's in your food. It should not be in your
31:42
food. It should not be in your food. And and and that's a
31:47
serious issue. I was told that last what about two weeks ago, that
31:55
the wardens were serving the food, and this was food that the warden was
32:00
serving, and y'all complained and they brushed it off and whatso, just so
32:07
happened that on one of the other units they had a carture band phone and
32:13
was able to take pictures and they had posted it all over the social media
32:17
site. So then now they go out and investigate because it's on the social
32:22
media site. So it's a problem, it's an issue. So I get
32:24
a phone call. I got a phone call asking me about the letter that
32:30
I wrote. I wrote a letter. I sent it to the to the
32:34
representative. Whether they respond or not, they gonna keep getting these letters.
32:37
They gonna keep every time I get a complaint. I'm gonna send a letter
32:40
out, so they might as well get ready. They might as well get
32:44
used to it. They until they do something about it. And I'm about
32:46
to get it. I'm about to get everybody on board that's willing to write,
32:51
let us with me, and were about to start tag team, and
32:53
we about to start tearing. These people were about to start knocking their doors
32:58
down, telling you they they they're gonna have to hire somebody to read.
33:02
They mayor right, because it makes no sense. It makes no sense.
33:09
I'm going to get outside work three times a day. We don't get no
33:13
outside n him man had outside work three times in the then almost three months
33:19
on outside rip? Whatsoever? I mean we get outside writ what's taking three
33:24
months? What's the dan t get three months? I'm I'm I'm well,
33:30
well, so, how how are y'all showers done? Because I've gotten a
33:35
complaint from one of the women units saying that they getting showers every three days?
33:40
How you get them showers every three days? They should take the shower
33:44
every day. That's a a basic human rights. We can showered every day
33:50
here showers, but uh, they keep feeling us about the outside rip and
33:54
then the buildings. They don't get dealing like that Rick because they finish short
33:59
staff. Y'all short stats, short stat, short stat. You can't do
34:02
outside, you can't do so y'all can't do outside red, y'all can't have
34:07
day room. Do y'all have any type of educational programs? Bill? I
34:17
mean right now the school is don't ad any uh on the education ged right
34:23
now. Yeah. So if if you got your g ED, there's nothing
34:28
else you can do all right now unless you are put in for higher education
34:32
and get transferred to another unit. Wow. As far as anything here,
34:39
anything here is once you get your g ED, put in for something else
34:45
and then we'll be to another unit. If they have what you want to
34:47
you looking for, whatever you're looking for. So do they have any type
34:51
of trade anything that that that you can not at this unit but in other
34:55
units. So basically they have to move you to another unit. Yeah.
35:01
Wow, So it's nothing that they so weakness so that the unit you're at
35:14
just a unit just to be at two to just do time. That there's
35:21
no there's no rehabilitation, no opportunities, no nothing. You just they're doing
35:27
time. So if if you if you don't have the will to do nothing,
35:34
then you could just waste away right there. Wow. So that would
35:42
explain with why I'm hearing a lot of suicide suicide And I've yet to hear
35:51
anybody talk about it in the news. I've yet to hear the report about
35:55
it. But every time somebody come on the show, they're talking about a
36:01
suicide McConnelly for about two weeks, the every it seemed like every Monday,
36:12
they was coming on now telling me that somebody had committed suicide on Friday,
36:17
somebody just committed suicide right before they come on there. And these most of
36:23
these people are life coaches over in the things, so they are ones that
36:29
have to go and roam and and and talk to these people and stuff.
36:34
And I've been hearing them saying that, you know, they want them to
36:39
start watching these people and and sitting and looking at I said, that's not
36:46
I don't think that's right. That's that's not a qualification of an inmate to
36:52
be watching another inmate that made me suicidal. Wow, Then what if they
36:59
still commit suicide on your watch, then they gonna want to blame you.
37:04
So no that I don't think they should be having that responsibility. Wow,
37:10
I'm telling you, Oh, they won't. They don't even want to,
37:17
Like I don't see SSI's and all these people. At least they can be
37:22
giving them some some time cuts, some some something, some kind of incentive.
37:30
It should be some type of insentitive for people that are doing what they're
37:35
supposed to be doing. You know, I'm not giving up on the governor
37:39
in this this executive order, because if you can send eleven million dollars to
37:44
Mississippi the house inmates, then you can take those eleven million dollars and pour
37:49
it into the state of Texas. And that's what these people, the state
37:52
of Texas need to be aware of what's going on right up under their notes.
37:55
They taking money away from y'all to another state. And then and this
38:00
is no send these people home home that's eligible to go home, Like what
38:07
is a sixty and seventy year old gonna do out here except for try to
38:10
live what little bit of life they have left. And that's what I want
38:15
people to understand. But I want to thank you for stopping by and we'll
38:19
talk to you soon. Thank you, I tell you. According to a
38:24
report by the Innocence Project, wrong for convictions are not uncommon in the state
38:31
of Texas. In fact, in nineteen eighty nine to twenty nineteen, there
38:37
have been eighty two wrong for convictions, resulting in years of unjust incarceration.
38:45
The Paroles board inflexible approach has sailed to acknowledge the unique circumstances of these individuals,
38:53
and it has perpetrated a cycle of justice. Y'all, these are just
39:02
a tad bit of the stories and the things that are taking place within the
39:09
TDCJ, the Texas Department of Calmin addresses. I'm telling you, this is
39:15
nothing that nobody is telling me. I'm wising this for myself. I'm getting
39:20
the phone calls. I talked to individuals. I was on the phone with
39:23
the unbuzzed men. I talked to individuals that told me about the maggots and
39:29
about the warden serving them this food. And they asked the warden, really,
39:37
this is what y'all saidving us. They laughed, they shrugged, they
39:42
shrugged it off. And this is what they're doing. They write grievances and
39:46
what they tell them insufficient evidence, not enough evidence. They keep blocking these
39:52
people. Y'all. These are people too, They are humans. They have
39:57
rights and their rights are being violated. God's time out. It's time out.
40:02
I'm telling you. I'm telling you, y'all. I urge you,
40:08
I urge you. If you're in the state of Texas, it's time to
40:13
demand accountability from your elected officials. You need to right your local representatives.
40:22
Raise awareness in your community, y'all. These are your family members, These
40:30
say your loved ones that are incarcerated. Support the organizations that are fighting for
40:36
criminal justice, y'all. There are so many organizations that are fighting for criminal
40:39
justice and are fighting for the rights of those that are wrongfully and overly incarcerated.
40:46
Y'all. Together, together, we can work towards a fair and just
40:54
parole system, judicial system that is truly I'm telling you, we can.
41:01
We can reform that could be rehabilitation and redemption. Now it's not too late.
41:08
Just like it took decades for these people to begin this corruption, they've
41:14
been doing it for three to four decades. Now it's time out for it.
41:19
It's time for change, and we have our next guest on the line.
41:25
If you would please introduce yourself. U guess my name is father Tom
41:32
Jackson, and I think uh take this prisident commonly un okay, sell my
41:44
story of what happened to me in Dallas County, and uh, I was
41:49
arrested, uh sixty five o nine for a stout of my looking girlfriend.
41:55
And uh this was do too. You know, I was wrong. I
41:59
had to know woman in the house and talking there with and so she got
42:02
bad and asked me to take it to the hospital. She said that her
42:06
contact was up in her eye, and so I took it to the hospital.
42:09
She went in and told the people that I had assaw. I didn't
42:13
know that this well she was doing. So I was this one for sixty
42:17
five over nine. Seven days later I was read out which was six twelve
42:22
o nine due to lack of other dents. But I was give up a
42:25
pretictive barm. But I asked me everybody the things but the house, and
42:30
I wanted to get them, and I went and got them. I was
42:32
re arrested again on what they called him a tooken charge. And then this
42:38
was the case it made when they had changed it to old nine five five
42:45
nine seventy six from the experienced casements and nine five seventy five ninety eight.
42:52
And then what happened was I was in jail after the arrested, but took
42:57
it in. A year later, I went to travel when it found not
43:00
give here. So what they did was they gave me a probation and I
43:04
never got an olcohol it. I was sitting in jail waiting to get out
43:07
on this probation that they ever got out if I caught upon the lawyer came
43:10
back and told me we were going to trial, and I asked him how
43:14
is that. He said, yeah, you got aggravating saw with a daily
43:16
weapon. And I said, well, how do I have that? And
43:19
I've been a junie year on the chunking charge. He said, well,
43:22
they went back to the date of what the head dropped for lack of evidence,
43:24
and the case which is LA said I got it in that LA both
43:30
die five seventy five ninety by somebody that year. And he said they went
43:36
to know and went upskilled the your charges. I said, well, how
43:37
did they do that? If I've been in jail the whole year, how
43:40
could this person have a serious eye injury? And they said, oh,
43:44
well, they say they got instance. I said, okay, So we
43:46
waited and waiting, I'll find it with the trial. Then I was found
43:50
guilty of aggravating saw with a daily women. They said, my hands was
43:53
a whopen, and I took martial arts still snow wherever did some trial for
43:58
uh. The girl had said that I handled on our car, brain damage,
44:01
the injuries and all that. Well, they found out a trial that
44:07
wasn't true due to delic But they still wouldn't get a medical doctor, an
44:12
expert doctor, to prove that these injuries, that scratch, which is called
44:15
corne of the bridge, was already gone injury due to her pigeon, which
44:20
was twenty ten digeon, which is the exceptional pigeon. So I asked my
44:24
lawyer, I said, man, why can't we can explain medical witness?
44:28
And he said, what duty you being? And images in the court aporting
44:30
attorneys, you are not allowed to have experimental with I didn't know anything about
44:37
lawing or anything about court like that, so I accepted it blindly. Well
44:40
we went caught up, I got tried, I got give it, gave
44:44
it for years, navigated. You know, of course I do have the
44:46
records from I grew up a while I was he with her, no father,
44:50
in the single mother home. You know, it didn't have anything to
44:53
do with you, my mother aid, and I was just running with the
44:55
crowd. So yeah, I had a couple of cases, you know,
44:59
the and a bad kid. So they used all that on me and everything.
45:02
They gave me fun. They act this never happened. I never did
45:07
anything. He was just Gil and all. But I remember one day we
45:12
were laying together and talking and she kept wiping her eyes with a painting time
45:15
and I ass was wrong and she said, well, some years ago the
45:19
baby had squashed it and the I was playing car keys, and so you
45:23
know, maybe that's what it was. But it never did that because its
45:27
been so good at the time. It was became beautiful because it wasn't about
45:30
so I attacked him somebody chicken. So but if you had been about the
45:35
eyes, she could have played like she see so well at the time.
45:38
Any way, to hold this sort doesn't play it that I got given all
45:42
this time. You know, that was County. I mean maybe it was
45:45
fire because that was county is a racially motivated county. You know, a
45:51
lot of the Jerry trials was based on racial motivation, you know, And
45:53
uh, I don't played it racially. But I found out a report that
45:58
came out the way I'm back that they but that's the way it deals,
46:01
you know. So I tried to, uh maybe I was giving an attorney
46:07
for appeal, and uh, she fever really did anything, you know.
46:10
And right now I'm just asking me if I could have someone to you know,
46:15
help me buile something to get me back in court, give me a
46:16
lawyer that would really be fair for me, so that I could get out
46:20
of here, you know, because at the age then and that now,
46:22
I still won't get out of prout you well to my sixtees, you know,
46:27
for something you know that was I mean, I was wrong for being
46:30
you know from Mischi incidents place that you live up there. That was my
46:34
fault. But you know it's good and not to love me like that and
46:37
that to say that. And I've never been a boxer karate and so reach
46:43
you by, you know, to someone who would do the right thing,
46:45
you know, and give me, you know, help me get justice that
46:49
I deserve, because I really didn't deserve. And you so what classified?
46:53
What? What what made? Who? Who authorized them? What? How
47:00
did they label your hands as a dealy weapon? Because in trial they asked
47:06
the gil how long have y'all been together? She said, oh, well,
47:08
we was together for a while, and he had troopers in the house
47:13
boxing and karate troopers, so maybe that was coerced through the dye or whatever,
47:17
because I never had none of that. So instead of they'll investigating,
47:22
no, they went on they did not even uh check the sea if that
47:24
was true. And they and it's still in the the transcript, so they
47:28
believe that they used it as truth. And even after in trial fout that
47:32
he learned that and that he claimed out here, they didn't find it no
47:36
other careca they still got it in the transcript. So you know, it's
47:39
a lot of day that wasn't done, you know. And so I had
47:43
told him about the other girl and that DA didn't want the other gil to
47:47
come to trial. And then my lawyer, i mean my manager that I
47:52
worked for it for my job, came and testifying. He is also a
47:54
minister in the church, and he told him that this bill was coming up
47:58
on this job several times trying to see who this other girl was. And
48:01
he said that she had said all kinds of things about me that he witnessed
48:06
himself that hadn't been true about me, you know, And he said,
48:08
this man in the bodybuilding I'm looking at the all on this man. I
48:12
don't I don't see him being any drug gaining glace, he said, the
48:15
music. It comes to work on time, you know. And I gave
48:17
him money. I kept her hampings for it anything. But it was still
48:21
like I was resting with the other young lady was okay, I was,
48:24
but she started doing all this creaking stuff. I wouldn't try to never done
48:30
that, you know, but that cost me all this time and stuff like
48:32
that. So wow, yeah, wow, you know I'm sitting up with
48:40
it all this time, you know, and h you know, I've been
48:44
gone ever since, but that's something with her weight, so you know,
48:47
and you know, I just I really need somebody. I tried to attack
48:51
it myself, but I am not destined in the law and all. I
48:54
really didn't know what I was doing. I was going to lawla very every
48:58
day time, you know, the persons I could because I couldn't have poort
49:01
an attorney. And so yeah, I mean, I'm trying to see if
49:07
I can be someone to him, you know, go back in there.
49:10
You know. Wow, So you need you're you're needing someone to get you
49:22
back into court or what what is it that your need? And yeah,
49:30
I'm needing to go back and court, and I'm needing to get uh you
49:34
know, be a subpoeno to you know, and and explain witness and also
49:38
to you know, bring the people back. The one person that justified on
49:40
my behalf with my manager, you know, and he can testify to the
49:45
hot girl was coming up on a job and everything, and then all the
49:47
other this is already there about a line about the middle damage and the line
49:51
about uh me calling and man even proved on the import he said, well,
49:54
all these fault calls were coming from your phone to his phone. So
50:00
if you're afraid of this man hurt, why was you calling this man that
50:02
minute of tea time? You know? And I was trying to stay away
50:07
from you. So she did what she could do to get me down there.
50:09
That that was ever there, That was juice. But they never even
50:13
get credit, you know, I mean, they didn't music. But it's
50:15
just brought up in court. If you afraid of me, if I'm trying
50:19
to hurt you while you calling me every day out be like you, I'm
50:21
trying to be away, I mean, that should have been a red flag
50:24
on your behalf. It should have. It should have a light should have
50:31
went out. So well, okay, well maybe there might be some truth
50:36
to what this man is saying, like the transcript and then be long.
50:39
You hedn't see me, wama be still care about me. She even told
50:43
my life why didn't you get a letter? Because doctor he said, oh,
50:45
well why didn't you? She said, you got the same to Peter
50:49
Paul Roddy that's in the transcripts office. So they let you know. I
50:52
didn't get a fair trial at all. I just had a fair trial.
50:57
Yeah, so I didn't know it and he couldn't an experience putting stock,
51:02
and there's no way I would have made it down because they know no one
51:06
could see that well with a fresh punch in the eye which caused the stretch
51:10
on the red though, there would be no way would have twenty pigs,
51:15
which is exceptional. Beason, you know. Wow, Yeah, I am
51:22
to my old cricket Dallas County. You know, the whole state of Texas
51:27
is cricket because this is this is a pattern. This is a pattern,
51:30
I'm telling you. Yeah. And Greig Harkins was the leading attorney, or
51:37
this attorney, but he didn't know anything about it. And I had been
51:39
trying to write it, but I never heard of thating back, so it
51:42
was consistent that did he knew. You know, these people been running this
51:46
kind of uh court, facilitating court for many year. They're experts. They
51:51
know when they got a moterfi li xit claim, and they know when it's
51:53
a wash, you know. And so yeah, they knew it was all
51:57
dirty. It was corrupted the whole thing. Okay, yep, I'm asking
52:04
try trying to help a lot, you know, you know I can it
52:10
can it can help happened if somebody will, you know, just ex give
52:15
me the help that I need. I've been trying to study a little bit
52:20
a lot without I'm being that's what I need. I need. Well,
52:28
we definitely gonna be sharing your story. Hopefully someone will hear this and be
52:31
able to assist. Maybe someone that's in school. We have some some colleges,
52:40
some some college students that's doing law schools, so hopefully one of them
52:45
will may be tuning in and peak their interest or peak their group interest or
52:52
somebody's interest and they want to get involved. But I'm gonna be sharing it.
53:00
I am planning a trip to Texas soon the beginning of the year.
53:05
We're gonna be doing some rallies, some marches, and some community events trying
53:09
to bring some awareness and gather getting some individuals together to be a part of
53:16
what is going on and to bring awareness hopefully to get some of these legislators
53:22
and some of these representatives on their job, because it's gonna take them to
53:29
do what they're supposed to do. No, no, hold them accountable.
53:34
That's that's that's our job. That's that's what we're gonna be doing, making
53:37
them be accountable for those laws that they have in place that they are not
53:43
withholding and upholding. So that that's that's what we're gonna be doing. So
53:49
I definitely thank you for stopping by. Yeah, I mean, daughter,
54:00
you know, and I have to say, a boy, the graces do
54:01
out somebody who was here and would be cut. Can't you actually do assist?
54:08
You know? And that's one thing I prayed for every day. Yeah,
54:15
I mean, I guess you like we said, you know, my
54:16
lady told me she had been to have a bill over her face and she
54:20
told me, she said, I have a fee assis. She said,
54:22
don't let me keep bother me. She said, you're gonna be all right,
54:25
