3:10
for individuals to be able to share. Of course, you guys know that
3:15
I am an advocate for those that are wrongfully and overly inc incarcerated. Currently,
3:23
I'm working with some individuals in the state of Texas that are currently incarcerated
3:30
at the Commuty Unit in Kennedy, Texas. So I am definitely hands on
3:38
with this. So often we don't realize that this is an issue because it's
3:45
not happening directly to us. It's not happening to one of our family members
3:50
and one of our loved ones, and then it hits us and then we
3:53
have to deal with it. So we're gonna get a perspective from someone that
3:59
has someone behind prison walls and what it's like. I want to thank you
4:03
guys for tuning in. For those that do not know who I am.
4:06

is to let people know that they have purpose. We are the change that

we desire to see in this world, and we have to be that change
4:31

5:11
Hello, I am Petra by Lorn. I am married to an individual
5:16
who is incarcerated currently at Connelly Unit. He has been incarcerated for thirteen years
5:25
and we have been married four or five and I've just I've been here for
5:31
him and in these five years. He was before, he was at Easton
5:36
Unit and now he's at Connelly. He's been at Conomy for the last five
5:41
years, and it has been a everyday struggle. There's always something. Before
5:49
when we first met, I would roar and know this and that, but
5:54
it didn't do anything. There was no effect. Sometimes silence is key,
6:00
you know, no answer is an answer. It it just it was they
6:04
were it was going on unheard ears. They literally don't care and and and
6:12
that's what they want. That that that I've realized that that's what they want
6:16
you to do. They want you to back up, they want you to
6:19
stop, they want to try to give you the run around. I've been
6:24
dealing with this here lately. I'm I'm dealing with a couple of individuals and
6:30
I wish I should have pulled up some of their clips and they're right there
6:34
in the Comity unit with your loved one. It. I tell people all
6:41
the time, this is a very big world, but it's very small.
6:45
You see how they got just brought that right together. And I I I
6:49
have a YouTube and I think I have right now maybe about a hundred videos
6:59
and clips from individuals that are at the County Unit, you know, sharing
7:04
about different things that's happening there, different things that they're doing, and just
7:11
different stuff. So I I've I've been getting it from everybody, because you
7:16
have. I've talked to someone that's been there for thirty three years and have
7:21
been at the County Unit. I want to say the last eleven they've been
7:28
at the County unit for the last eleven Then there's someone that's been there twenty
7:32
five years. Yeah, someone's been there twelve years, like it, and
7:39
like, well, you know, they tried. They they try to intimidate
7:44
you, and I refuse to allow them to do that. I haven't had
7:48
some issues because I also have a magazine. I'm sorry, I lived one
7:55
hour away from the unit, And are you to actually work with with guards
8:01
that are there? And I didn't realize it because they worked with me at
8:05
Walmart until they had started posting that they had became CEO's there. And I
8:13
never let them know, like hey, you know my husband is incarcerated there
8:18
or anything, because I would pay attention to their conversations. And I've told
8:24
my husband I said, I keep them on because if I ever need to
8:28
go back and show people like, hey, you know what, this is
8:31
exactly what CEOs say about inmates. Think. I mean, they make fun
8:35
of them, They treat them like animals. I've literally seen them say I
8:39
told some guy no today just to make him mad. Like what's the point
8:43
of that? Like are they not human too? Do you think you'll never
8:48
be in their possessional? Think so, they don't think so they think that
8:54
because they are they are wards of the state, that you know, they
8:58
belong to the state, and and and they they they don't have rights.
9:03
You know, I just had this conversation with one of the inmates today,
9:09
you know, I I it's it's it's sad because every Monday I have conversations
9:18
with them. I listen to them. They you it's really sad. Yes,
9:30
they they keep magazines, they keep they important mail, they they keep
9:35
they they they they do all types of stuff. And then you go you
9:39
have to go above and beyond, like I I keep a paper trail,
9:43
because they're not just gonna get an email from me, but they're gonna get
9:46
an email going to your regional director. You gonna get an email going to
9:50
the executive director. You're gonna get an email going to the congress people.
9:54
You gonna get an email going to the unbuzzed man. And you're gonna you're
9:58
gonna have about twenty people in this email, and somebody gonna move now,
10:03
and they're gonna do what they're supposed to do. And and see they wait
10:05
until you get to the to the writing other letters and the running ads in
10:09
the in the magazines, and in the newspaper and calling the news stations before
10:15
they want to do something. But it's too late for all that they they
10:18
have had their opportunity to do right by the people that they have been given
10:24
charge over, you know, and it start with the top, It start
10:26
with the government. See, it's too much corruption going on in the state
10:31
of texts and they just they just open up a can or want run worms.
10:35
When they allowed this man to walk free when it's quite I mean,
10:41
a blind person can see that this man is guilty as all out those You
10:48
got a mistress. You've been doing this, You've been doing this, money
10:50
going this place, money going this place, and people just keep turning the
10:54
they keep turning the left. Oh we're not doing that. We're not gonna
11:01
keep turning the left cheek and the right cheek. No, we don't did
11:03
all that. Those times are over and it's time for these people to do
11:07
right by the people. They need to do what they have been elected to
11:15
do. You got all these laws that they are not even they don't even
11:20
some of these people shouldn't even be incarcerated. Some of these people, Yeah,
11:24
some of them did do what they did, but you gave them too
11:28
much time, and then you you you make it hard for them to get
11:33
released. Why because the people that sit on the parole board, a former
11:39
CEO's, former police officer, lawyer's DA's they they they former people that had
11:46
the power to put them there, So of course you put them there.
11:50
They are a number to them. They're of the dollar signs to them.
11:54
That's how they is to them. And until we get these people out of
12:00
office. And I'm not even in the state of Texas, That's why it's
12:03
so crazy. I'm not even in the state of Texas. I'm not here
12:07
on the East coast. I'm in South Carolina. But I get up in
12:11
the morning and I call these people and I harass these people because you're gonna
12:16
do right by the ones that I have contact with. Now I I'm in
12:24
contact with them, so guess what I got to do right by them?
12:26
Now, when you know better, you got to do better. And that's
12:31
what's happening. People are realizing, Hey, these people are mistreating these people.
12:39
They they they they slapping peanut butter on bread and and and and bolted
12:43
bread at dad at old Bologne salami, whatever they can give these people.
12:50
I look at these pictures that these people send me. You put soup,
12:54
who puts a dabas soup on two? Low the bread and call that a
13:01
sandwich and then you're throwing it to them and what they called Johnny's What is
13:07
it? Johnny? And when do you start doing dry bys? What?
13:13
What happened to them going in the cafeteria and sitting down and having a hot
13:18
meal like humans? When? When? When? When did all that stop
13:26
passionate about this? Was that that's crazy? I'm sorry. Their their excuses
13:35
always that they're short staffed. Okay, well if you stop, okay,
13:41
just imagine if you're treating the inmates like that. So if you're treating the
13:46
inmates like that, you treating the like that too. I told him it
13:52
all start with the warden. M h. Look at who you put in
13:56
charge of these places it I'll start. If the war didn't want to clean
14:01
up that place and want that place to be in order, and want this
14:05
to happen, and want this to happen. It can happen because they're doing
14:09
it and us. So you can't tell me that it cannot happen. It's
14:11
happening in other places, and these people are being rehabilitated. They're coming home
14:18
and they're being productive senses because they're giving the opportunity to go to school,
14:22
they're getting the opportunity to feel good about themselves, they're getting the opportunity to
14:26
feel like a human being. That they're giving that opportunity because somebody did something
14:33
something wrong do not mean that they are evil people. And that's what we
14:37
got to realize, because a lot of these people that are free and on
14:41
the outside that are making these decisions, they're the ones that need to be
14:43
locked up. And I'll shout it to the mountaintop. I don't care not
14:48
scatter them, and they gonna stop. They gonna stop doing this to people
14:54
like I stand up against them all the time. The people down there commonly,
14:58
they know my name. They know me by first name. They they
15:01
they were saying, they were saying miss Smith, but now they know me
15:05
by name. They caught they Miss Angela, Miss angelin On called over there
15:09
to the regional show, calling and custom people out there, and I ain't
15:11
even custom out. And I told him, I said, I didn't custom
15:13
out, I said, but I did hang up on them, so I
15:16
don't got to cuss. But I did hang up on them because they need
15:22
to do right by their people, like they don't know when the shoes are
15:26
gonna turn. No, Because I got the guy that I interviewed right here
15:33
in Cony Unit. He was a sheriff. The man worked for him and
15:39
he said right there behind prison walla for something that he didn't even do.
15:43
And these people wanna have double jeopardy. They want to have a whole kind
15:48
of stuff against these people. Man, it's sad, and Texas need to
15:54
wake up. Texas need to wake up. They need to get these people
15:58
that are in office run Reynolds, Sheila Jackson, Lee Carlo Sherman, Monica
16:06
Della Cruise, Ted Cruise, Jeff Lynch and Joe Moody, all of them.
16:15
They need to be out of there if they're not gonna do what they're
16:17
supposed to do. And people need to stop being quiet. Like I know
16:25
as a wife, and you say, y'all only been married five years,
16:30
So how long have y'all known? Did y'all know each other? Did you
16:32
know him before he went to prison or did you meet him in prison?
16:37
No? I knew him before you knew him before? Yea he went to
16:40
prisons. Okay, So what made so that mean? Okay, he been
16:47
in prison eleven years and y'all been married five years, So that means y'all
16:49
got married while he was in there thirteen years. He's been there thirteen years.
16:56
Okay, so what you say, Okay, I'm gonna marry this man,
17:02
like this is who I want to be with, and this is what
17:06
I'm gonna do. Well, you know, Uh, we met in two
17:11
thousand eight, two thousand and nine. He lived in Dallas, and I'm
17:17
originally from Houston, Texas, and so I was living in Houston in Dallas
17:22
at the time, and we met and I ended up because I have children.
17:27
I ended up going back to Houston to be with the father of my
17:30
children. And I never heard from him, and I didn't know that it
17:33
was because he had got incarcerated. And even when I knew him then and
17:41
what I know of him now, my husband doesn't belong in there. I
17:45
have a brother who has been in and out of jail my entire life,
17:48
and I call him can't get right because he don't get right. But you
17:53
know, my husband doesn't belong in there. Uh. He's he's smart,
18:03
he's a wonderful person. He's so respectful, and it's just I can't honestly,
18:11
I don't have a bad word to say about him, Like we don't
18:14
argue on the phone. If we do, we get over it quickly.
18:18
We were told once by a friend of his, because my husband's Muslim,
18:22
he said, even on y'all's bad days, y'all are still doing bad,
18:23
which is because we're still apart. And so we tried to keep that in
18:30
mind whenever one of us gets upset with the other or so on. I
18:34
have, as much as I can been his voice out here again. So
18:38
many times it has fallen on death ears that I'm not gonna say I gave
18:44
up, But I know now speaking with any of the wardens or any of
18:49
that is useless about not this warden, but the warden they had before this
18:56
last one. I was on the phone with my husband and a guard didn't
19:00
like him, and I know she didn't like him because they were he was
19:04
working on her crew, and she kept calling him the B word, like
19:08
you know, like slang, saying oh you be And my husband told her,
19:12
He's like, hey, you know, I don't talk like that,
19:15
and I don't allow anybody to talk like that to me, And so she
19:18
kept doing it, so he said, so I put the boxes down and
19:22
I walked off. I told him, and let me back in my cell,
19:25
like I told him, I wasn't gonna be on through. Well after
19:27
that, she was really upset. So one day she came in and she
19:33
wrote him up and said that he had clothes hanging on the line, and
19:36
he did it. He had them hanging on his cell because he was about
19:38
to take a shower, so he got to write up for that. And
19:41
then shortly after that, I was on the phone and she came in and
19:47
I know it was her because he had told me, But all I could
19:51
hear was a woman in the background going I said, get in the f
19:55
and cell like you are you f and death? Get in the f and
19:59
cell like I'm not gonna say it again. And I'm like, are they
20:02
allowed to talk to you like that? And he's like, no, they're
20:03
not. But this is the same one that's been giving me problems. So
20:07
I called up there and I had spoke with that warning, and I told
20:11
that warning. I know y'all record the cause if I can hear her,
20:14
then that recording can hear her. But you know they can say they said
20:18
that they heard it, and they didn't hear anything. I said, well,
20:19
you're not going to admit to me that you heard her saying that.
20:25
You know, they're not gonna say, Oh yeah, I heard her say
20:26
and it that's wrong. She was still there. She was still there,
20:30
and this happened two three years ago. She was still there up until maybe
20:34
like a few months ago. And that's only because she transferred, not because
20:40
they fired her or she gotten inted trouble. It's it's a terrible mening.
20:47
You know, he's been sick and they don't they haven't helped him with stuff,
20:52
the food. I this recent lockdown, he said, you know,
20:56
I feel really sick. And so one of the cook told him that the
21:00
meat they were serving was ground beef and it was pork. Muslims don't eat
21:07
pork. My husband is hasn't eaten pork in over ten years. Yeah,
21:11
they can't serving pork. They've been they've they've been walk this and poor pork
21:17
that. I mean, I know what they've been serving. They and then
21:22
they I think it was the holiday Labor Day was when they were supposedly had
21:29
beef. But then how you gonna have some pork chops too and have beef.
21:33
I said, all that was poor m h. And that's what they
21:37
do. It's a lot of people down there, don't. They don't.
21:41
They don't eat, they don't even eat the food. They just eat the
21:45
food out of commissary. But with them being on lockdown like that, they
21:48
coudn't even get commissary like they normally get commissary. So some this is this
21:53
is a question that a lot of people that that I talked to that have
22:00
someone behind prison walls, they say that sometimes it makes them feel like they're
22:04
incarcerated too, like they're going through too. So how does it make you
22:11
feel? Do we make you feel like sometimes you feel like you were doing
22:15
time with them? Well, you know, a Miss Angela, when I
22:19
was younger, I have been incrustrated. And because that sticks with me so
22:26
much. My older brother we're a year apart, and we were inseparable when
22:30
we were younger, and even then it hurt me. But now that it's
22:34
my husband, and you know, I can imagine on the holidays, on
22:41
days where it's it's scorching hot outside and it's over here in Texas it's one
22:45
hundred and ten degrees and they don't have anything that cools them off. Oh
22:49
oh, they give us respite showers and then one day they skipped his respite
22:53
shower because he has more than one time. So, yeah, it does.
23:00
It affects me, and you know sometimes when he tells me, I
23:02
tell him that just it breaks my heart and he says, you know what,
23:06
And my husband is really good about it. He says, it's my
23:08
fault. I put myself here. That's what he says all the time.
23:11
That's what I get for coming to prison. That's what he'll say. But
23:15
at the end of the day, he doesn't belong there. My husband's case,
23:18
we've had a lawyer working on it for two years. His fault was
23:23
that he did sell firearms, okay, and he sold drugs. So what
23:30
happened was a guy that he had sold to rending him a car, and
23:36
when he got pulled over in that car, they found out that it was
23:40
jacked, and there was two people in the front and two people in the
23:44
back, and the guy, the driver and the passenger in the front said
23:51
no, my husband is six foot one, and so they said, no,
23:55
it wasn't him. The guy that robbed us was much shorter, okay.
24:00
My husband took it to trial because he was like, no, I
24:02
might have had guns, but I didn't rob them. And so he took
24:07
it to trial and the front driver and the passenger driver said no, it
24:10
wasn't him, and one of the backseat drivers said no, it wasn't him.
24:14
But just one passenger in the back said it looked like him. And
24:19
he ended up getting thirty five years. And like I said, you know,
24:23
he's already done what he can as far as you know, appealing it
24:30
and everything like that. So now we have a lawyer that's just trying to
24:33
reduce his sentence because they don't care, you know, to them, oh,
24:41
you know, he didn't he sold drugs and guns. We put him
24:42
away, Yeah, but you put away the wrong person, like how because
24:48
one person said that might look like him. You were in the back the
24:53
driver, the one that had the gun pointed at him, said no,
24:56
the other guy was much shorter, and it didn't matter. And since my
25:06
husband was in the adoption system, he had no one on his side.
25:08
He had no one to say, hey, well you know what, No,
25:11
that's not the type of person he is. He he didn't have anybody.
25:17
Wow, And there's so many people at that same unit. When I
25:21
tell you there's so many people at that same unit that have similar stories and
25:26
have nobody to help them like it, it's it's sad. I really have
25:33
been when I tell you, I have been sharing as many people's stories as
25:37
I could. That's what I've been and doing. Like every Monday morning,
25:42
I'm I'm live from from that unit. I forget which building it is,
25:48
but they there's actually too There's one of the guys is like what you would
25:57
call a a life coach. He's part of the life coaching program, Like
26:03
he can roam around through the different units. Like when that last guy that
26:07
committed suicide over in the unit, he they were able to go out and
26:12
you know, talk to people and you know, stuff like that he's been
26:18
locked up for a while. You know, the the comments and the things
26:23
that I've been seeing from the videos that I have posted over on the Free
26:27
Texas campaign YouTube, everybody like he don't need to be locked up, that
26:33
that he should be free, you know, but these people don't. They're
26:38
not trying to hear that. And instead of them trying to obey the lots
26:44
that they have in place, because they have lost in place that would cut
26:48
some of these people's time. But it's these people at this parole board that
26:55
they got stuck in their mind that these people not rehabilitated because they don't believe
27:00
in rebilitation. And it's evident that they don't because if they did, they
27:04
would have programs in place. They would have programs in place that would be
27:08
helping these people. They would be going to school, they would be taking
27:14
up a trade, they would be taking up something that would help them on
27:18
the outside. Not only that, they would make sure that these people were
27:22
mentally and emotionally stable and able to come out and be a part of the
27:27
community. They would be started getting them on a path to getting back into
27:33
the community. Like you just don't just throw somebody out there. You got
27:37
to get them prepared because guess what, you don't broke these people, especially
27:42
these people that's been locked up over ten years, You don't broke them because
27:47
guess what, the first five years, they probably was fighting for their life.
27:51
They was probably fighting just to survive. These are some of the stories
27:56
that I hear. These are some of the stories that we share at the
28:00
Free Texas campaign. Over on the YouTube, you can listen to some of
28:04
these people's story. None of the guy he he he said he was a
28:10
little short guy. He well, he is a little short guy. And
28:12
he said every day he was fighting. And he said he fought every day.
28:17
He said, because he wasn't Finn to let nobody take advantage of him.
28:21
He didn't have nobody fighting. He said, he wouldn't fint to make
28:22
no excuses, he said. He he told his story, he did what
28:26
he did, and he said, I'm gonna do it, he said,
28:29
And I'm doing my time, he say, And yes, I'm sorry,
28:30
he said. You know what, it didn't hit me. And I was
28:33
in the courtroom when I heard that little baby, that four year old child,
28:40
he said, that's when they hit me, he said. But I'm
28:41
doing better, he said, And I'm making the best of what I can,
28:45
he said. But it's sad how they do people. You know,
28:51
people that they ain't even concerned about themselves. Some of these people not concerned
28:55
about themselves, They worried about other people too. That's man, that's a
28:59
that's a cause signing about other people being free and other people getting back to
29:03
their families. So a lot of them, there's a lot of stories that
29:07
I've been sharing. I don't know what what what area your your husband's in
29:15
uh D three. I want to say he's in three buildings three stay that's
29:26
possible. I don't I want to set three or four building because he I
29:30
know, probably during summer time he had moved. So I'm not real positive
29:37
on that either, because I know over there where a lot of the ones
29:45
that I talked today in a place that have it has what they called cubicles.
29:52
It's not like a dorm. It's like, oh, he's not in
29:57
the dorm, he's where there's there. They're they're each cells and they have
30:04
like they got sales up on on the on the top floor and around the
30:10
walls, and then they got some kind of like makeshift cubicles set up in
30:15
the middle something or something. Because these people they're not in those they not
30:22
in tho some of them you have to ask if next time you talk to
30:26
them, because that's how it was explained to me. It's like, you
30:30
know how, you know how we got those dividers when we go into like
30:33
those different offices and they have those dividers that it's set up like that.
30:38
I think that's what from what they describe to me, that's how it's set
30:42
up. So everybody got their own little They don't have to share nothing with
30:47
nobody. They got their own little what's her name? No, like in
30:52
those those cubicles what they call cubicles. Oh wow, they they don't have
31:00
to share with nobody. Yeah, got doors. They ain't got no doors.
31:06
People can just walk in your people can just walk in your thing from
31:11
whatever. It's just it's just like a divider. They just got the dividers
31:15
that separate everything. But yeah, I tell you, I truly have enjoyed
31:21
talking to you tonight. Yes, just having conversation, you know, you
31:26
just it's it's just having real conversation so people can see. It's not about
31:32
nothing professional, it's not about no, no, nothing. You know,
31:34
this is real stuff. This is really what's happening. And we need to
31:40
let people see really what's going on. And they need to see us as
31:44
true as we can be, you know, so they can understand that this
31:47
is real, this is what's happening. This is not nothing that you seeing
31:51
on TV. This is really what's happening in my life. So I definitely
31:55
want to invite you back. I'm definitely gonna be looking out to I know
32:01
one of the young ladies she actually started a new job on tonight. One
32:06
of the young ladies that was in the chat, she actually started a new
32:08
job working with some youth. I think she's in the state of Georgia,
32:12
but she started a new job tonight. But she really wanted to be here.
32:16
I think she said if she could, she was gonna be watching us.
32:19
So she's watching out there. I definitely want to extend the irritation to
32:24
her. And of course we will be back on here because every fourth Monday
32:30
of the month, I am going to be hosting a show and allowing individuals
32:37
that want to come on, and that's anybody if you know otherwives or girlfriends
32:42
that they want to come on and share. I mean, if they just
32:45
want to talk about their their story, any any situation that's going on,
32:50
anything that you know, we can come together. And you know, when
32:52
we come together and a lot of us speak up, that's when people start
32:57
realizing that, hey, yeah, there's a problem, and and sometimes we
33:00
can't be quiet. And if every everybody's speaking the same thing, then it's
33:06
gotta be some truth behind it and you got to investigate it. And then
33:09
that's what I'm gonna keep yelling until I'm blue in the face, because just
33:14
like these people are. Every day I see somebody saying they make coming home,
33:20
then everybody that I talked to, they coming home because I keep telling
33:22
them they coming home because they've been wrongfully and over the incarcerated and them,
33:27
them gates are gonna swing up. Them gates are going to swing open,
33:30
and they are gonna walk through them. I'm telling you, they're gonna swing
33:35
open. But until they do, we're gonna keep on being that voice because
33:38
they need us. They need us, and they don't need us to be
33:42
quiet. And that's what that's what these people are banking on us to be
33:45
quiet. Because if that's what if I hadn't open my mouth for mister Drummond
33:50
today, no, two days ago, on Monday, if I hadn't open
33:53
my mouth for him, these people would have been still sitting around holding on
33:59
to his money and not releasing his money when his money is supposed to be
34:01
sitting over there in the US District court. Because he got two appeals up
34:05
there, he got two court cases in the US District Court where he's suing
34:09
them people, He's suwing man, he's suing the State of Texas. The
34:15
man, it's so many people involved in it, and what's gonna happen.
34:17
It's gonna open up a whole bunch of other cases. But people for the
34:22
people acting like this ain't happen. But it was investigated, it was on
34:25
the news, but then y'all brushed it under the rug like it didn't happen.
34:30
But guess what, it's coming back up, and I got all the
34:31
paperwork. You can't stop me. You can't shut me up because guess what,
34:35
I'm not in the state of Texas, not in the state Texas,
34:37
so I'm not under your your your leadership. I'm not under your your your
34:43
rules. I'm not under your regulations, so you can't shut me up.
34:46
The terrible laws all that tas. This ain't part of the US Constitution and
34:52
Texas ain't a part of this, and they don't have to buy Well,
34:55
guess what everything that y'all doing, y'all need to show me in If you
35:00
can't show me in writing, then that's not the policy because the policy isn't
35:05
writing. And guess what when they was holding on to them people mail,
35:07
guess what they had to they had to come up. I'll stay mail.
35:10
They was trying to keep my magazine from getting in the prison. They were
35:15
trying to keep my magazine from getting in the prison. My magazine been going
35:20
in that prison since last year in November, and for the last two July
35:24
issue, June issue, and then here it come again. They tried to
35:30
keep my magazine from going and then the awarden warden David's gonna try to send
35:35
it over to DRC and try to get it investigated. But guess what,
35:37
I'm already up what you've been doing. I already got a paper trail.
35:43
Huh is it? They're aspiring Arthur's Max. I didn't hear you the aspiring
35:49
Arthurs about you. I am actually typing it up in my computer now.
35:59
My husband been has wrote a book. Okay, so he what's your husban's
36:06
name? See his name is Gabriel Bylon. Okay, I have to ask
36:15
mister Drummond, do we know him? His name is Gabriel? Okay,
36:23
yeah, it's a yeah. I've been typing it for a while now.
36:31
But I told him, I said, I can, I can, I
36:34
can? I can? What do you call that? When they I can
36:39
put it on Amazon for free, you know? And he's like, well,
36:43
why is it taking you so long to type it? I said,
36:46
I haven't typed in a really long time. It takes me a long time,
36:52
right right, right, yeah, to publish it. Yeah that's what.
37:01
Well, yeah, they tried to keep my magazine from coming in there.
37:04
They send it out to DRC, try to say all kind of stuff
37:07
about it. But truth, we share a lot of these people's story.
37:10
We share a different perspective. I mean, we share whatever. If it's
37:15
the truth, I'm sharing it. I don't care who don't want to hear
37:20
it. It's being shared because guess what, you got a lot of these
37:22
people that's locked up that need to be free. Yes, no, yeah,
37:27
some of these people did do what they're supposed to do, but they
37:28
don't serve their time. Their time is over with. How you gonna keep
37:31
somebody locked up for thirty three years for something they you didn't even investigate.
37:36
Mister Drummond got eight hundred million dollar lawsuit and they fifty five million dollar lawsuits
37:40
against these people. He had three hundred dollars for one lawsuits supposed to have
37:45
been sent out in three hundred dollars for another lawsuits supposed to sent been sent
37:49
out. These people did not send it out. Yeah, I want everybody
37:52
to know what they did. I won't ever single person that listening to know
37:55
what these people did. They helped on to that man stuff. He requested
38:00
for two thousand dollars to be sent to his brother. Okay, fine,
38:02
They wanted to investigate why he's sent in two thousand dollars. Okay, this
38:06
his brother. His brother asked for it. You need to connect his brother
38:08
and asked his brother why he needs two thousand dollars. Don't be asking him.
38:12
This man is locked up, just like how is they getting the drugs
38:15
in? This whole lockdown was brought on because those people got caught with the
38:22
drugs. Somebody was circling the parking lot. They called the outside police.
38:27
The outside police came, they pulled the car over. The car had cell
38:31
phones, cigarettes and drugs, all kind of stuff in. So then they
38:38
arrested all the people that was on the outside, all the what they called
38:43
them people what they called him, not just the trustees, but the c
38:50
yet, the no, not the CEOs, the people that the prisoners that
38:55
think they CEOs. That's what they did. I trust that it's a whole
39:01
bunch of them, it's one over there in that unit that be over there,
39:04
man, he'd be locking the door so they can't get on the phones,
39:07
because you know on Mondays that's when I usually do my calls on Mondays.
39:12
There's another unit. I don't know what unit. I forget what unit
39:15
is, what pod that is that they called from? But do you know,
39:19
uh, have you ever heard of a guy named ah Y'alla? Have
39:23
you ever heard your husband talking about a guy named ah Y'allah? I think
39:28
so? And if you heard your husband talking about a guy named Cornell Drummer,
39:36
they call him drum stick Cornell. Yes, well Carnell is that it
39:44
is who I beat. I talked to Cornell's every single day. Okay,
39:50
yeah, I can't now I talked to him. I talked to a Y'alla.
39:54
I talked to Drew Mack. Matter of fact, Drew Mack. It's
40:00
and one of my poetry books, the one that's called Cries from Within My
40:06
Soul. It's a poetry book. It's a white with red writing. It's
40:09
a picture of a I own it. Drew Mack put four poems in it,
40:15
and I have a whole stack of poems that this guy has written Drew
40:20
Mack teaches karate. He teaches a lot of the guys they're karate. He's
40:23
a Muslim too, so your husband definitely might know him, yes, because
40:29
he's a Muslim too. Yes, And he teaches karate, he teaches yoga.
40:34
He took when I tell you, this is a small world. This
40:37
is a small world, and it is not by coincident everything. You know
40:39
when I tell people it is not by accident that God breathed. My daughter
40:45
asked my husband, you know, uh, she said what she because he
40:50
has he always says, I studied all religions. And she said, if
40:53
you studied all religions, why did you pick Muslim? And he says,
40:58
well, you know, it was the most discipline and when it comes to
41:02
following God and how they believe in things. But he has shared a lot
41:07
of names, and I know I've heard Cornell and I've heard Drew. I've
41:12
heard of them. So I'm pretty sure they know who my husband is.
41:16
Then I'm sure they probably talk. They definitely probably have been talking about me.
41:22
They called me the Queen. I think if they called me to talk
41:27
with my husband, you'd have a wonderful conversation. You'd enjoy it. You
41:32
should tell him to to tell Cornell to get him on Monday. TI to
41:38
get him on a Monday Monday, because we didn't do it this past Monday,
41:43
but we'll probably be back on Monday because we had a lot of stuff
41:46
going on. See I'm here in Atlanta, I'm not home. We well,
41:54
we do it through the phone because I do it on blog talk radio
42:00
extream through block talk Radio. But I go live like I am live now,
42:04
see right now, we're live on Facebook, then in YouTube, and
42:08
then once we get out out, I'll download it and then I'll make little
42:15
little clips, like I'll make little reels, so it'll it'll float around on
42:19
Facebook, and then I'll make some little audios. It'll go over to speaker
42:25
dot com. Speaker dot com it's an audio platform, so it'll be just
42:29
stripped to like our Heart radio, different little places like it may even it
42:35
may even come up on Alexa. Cause like, I got a book that's
42:38
coming out on September, I mean October the first. It's gonna release on
42:42
October the first. So today I come up on my email. The last
42:46
book that came out, my niece said it made an announcement on Alexa that
42:50
I had a book coming out. Well, okay, yeah, she said,
42:57
I know it was on Alexa. I'd say, wow, I didn't
43:01
even know that, but yeah. It sent me an email today telling me
43:07
that I got a book coming out on October the first. So everybody go
43:10
and grab go download your e copy of my Domestic Violence. It's a thirty
43:16
one day devotional and it's just something that will encourage you, even if you
43:20
may not be going through domestic violence. It's just something that will lift you
43:23
up and encourage you to come out of that space that you are because so
43:28
often we get stuck and complace it in a place where we are, We
43:32
get comfortable in that place, and sometimes we gotta step outside that box.
43:37
So I have two amazing individuals. We all three overcame domestic violence. You're
43:44
looking at someone that was shot point bunk ranch with a solid out shotgun.
43:47
I shouldn't even be here, by my whole right side of my body should
43:51
have been blown off. I shouldn't be here, but I'm here. And
43:54
it was only by the grace in the mercy of God that I'm able to
43:58
do what I'm doing. And this and to me in twenty fourteen. God
44:02
spared my life next year to be ten years and he spared my life.
44:07
He gave me a second chance. He gave me a third chance, he
44:10
gave me a fourth chance. So guess what. I can't sit down on
44:14
him and I can't sit down on his goodness because he's been too good to
44:17
me. You know, he's been truly good to me to be able to
44:21
allow me this opportunity to do stuff that I'm doing, to even be able
44:24
to have this podcast, you know, to be able to allow interview us
44:30
