So y'all tonight, we're gonna continue to saga. We're gonna continue to let
4:19
you guys know what is going on behind those walls. They're in Texas,
4:24
and we're gonna be hearing from who do we have tonight? If you will
4:29
please tell us your name? You know, how are you? How are
4:36
you? How are you? I tell you now, I can't complain.
4:46
I won't complain on me to complain, so it could be worse. But
4:51
I tell you I'm grateful. I'm thankful for you because oftentimes we share what's
5:00
going on behind whiles, but I get comments about what people are saying about
5:05
different things, and you know, well, people deserve this, and people
5:11
deserve this. One thing I can say is, regardless of what we do,
5:17
we are humans and we deserve to be treated like humans. We should
5:21
not be treated like testers and and and betal projects, and we should not
5:30
be used as a scientific hypothosis. And you know experiments. So with that
5:39
being said, I really want you to share with us some things that can
5:46
you tell us first a little bit about yourself. How long you have been
5:49
there, N T, D, C J, and what you have noticed
5:54
over the time that you have been there, and some of your concerns.
6:00
Well, I've been locked up fourteen years, fourteen and a half actions and
6:08
prison, the mentality, yeah, the inmates and for gods, it's it's
6:18
nothing like that because it's never seen before the transformation of where it's really going.
6:26
Because right now there's a huge shortage s stam on the shortage of staff
6:33
to the problem and it's create couples of untaped nonscaped environment around here for the
6:42
officers and for the inmates. Uh, you've got you've got complexities within.
6:49
Yes, I can understand how all individuals and society may feel like we have
6:54
a reason to complain, But it's the same token. We're human, we
7:01
made mistakes, Yet there's a lack of empathy for us for the mistakes made.
7:08
I'm not saying that we're always a hundred stand right. I'm not saying
7:12
that people don't deserve to to creative restricution because the things that they're done.
7:17
But yet still when prison becomes a difference to the individuals of us that's in
7:27
here now, that's the issues that I didn't sign up to be coming here,
7:30
to be put into a situation where my life is in dangerous and life
7:38
is being dangered with with medical issues. If you have if you have a
7:43
shortage of staff and say that you know, because I'm the type two guy,
7:48
be me saying and my singleiclotkin from protect with something. Who's who cannot
7:56
you want to do? Is a lot if you don't have no gords doing
8:00
their wrongs or doing the things they're gos to a But when you do a
8:05
short staff, you have no you have nobody doing the check to make sure
8:11
that everyone is say uh so okay. So typically how often do you say
8:18
a guard is coming around? They don't. They come around as when they
8:26
may count and then the count you want to see them until maybe so it's
8:33
just rack times that you won't see them no more again for their time you
8:39
have no guard. There's the pickets out here you have you have almost three
8:46
thousand in May and you had four houses come to work yesterday. So let's
8:50
talk about let's let's let's talk about a incident that happened there on your particular
8:56
unit in the commy. Okay, So I received a call saying that someone
9:05
had had seizure and there was no officer available, so they had to call
9:13
their loved one to call someone at the front desk. Are you familiar with
9:20
that incident? When you get again? Uh? Yeah, you have a
9:26
seizure in there was no there was no one, There was no officers.
9:31
Then the picket to get their attention. Because you have like you have like
9:39
you had the front doors doors, then you have flying doors on each section.
9:43
You have a section, be section and sea section, so you have
9:48
a tower in the middle where guard is usually in. There was nobody there
9:52
because they were short of staff. You have someone that took the death,
9:56
so nobody pit the death. Then there's nobody too, and everybody's locked in
10:00
the film because they're not going to because your fail. So a feature,
10:09
well you don't know what to do. Journey off the head? Uh?
10:18
And another guy? You know, the phones unless you have a tampt.
10:22
Now what they've been doing lately, they can That's another thing. That's another
10:30
thing we need to talk about. That's another thing that we need to talk
10:33
about. But let's clear up the this incident. Because I wrote to the
10:39
unbuzzment. I also wrote to the Office of Inspector General. Because matter of
10:46
fact, I copy just about twenty different people in this letter that I send
10:52
out all the time. So individuals can't say that they don't know that this
10:56
happened, that this happened, this happened. I also post sit on the
11:00
blog, I write about it in the magazine, so people cannot say that
11:03
they don't know that these things are happening. I have been coming across a
11:07
lot of people that are not aware of a lot of these situations because they
11:13
say they don't have anybody in the business system. So okay, I can
11:16
understand that, because you know what, until about two three years ago,
11:20
I was not aware of a lot of this stuff. So I can't be
11:24
mad at them. So what we do now is we bring awareness. We
11:30
have to bring awareness, We have to continue to bring awareness. And so
11:35
with that being said, how would what would be a solution to what happened
11:45
and keeping that from happening, Because not only that happened, but there was
11:48
some other incidents where there was a individual a G two that was stabbed by
11:54
G four or something like that. And oh, here about the situation.
12:01
This is what happened. We have we have G two inmates, which is
12:05
populations status inmate that hasn't been in trouble, their own medium courty, which
12:11
they come on Miss Hobs and they don't have no hosting for them to be
12:15
in population. So what they did they took half a siston of the the
12:20
guys that's on medium custody, the ones that's been in trouble, the ones
12:24
that that they're major cases, uh that there their threat to uh to their
12:28
inmate population. So they put these inmates over there with these guys. So
12:33
they're in the day wrong. Well, while you know, the guy rigged
12:39
his door, the door opened him and the silly they come down there with
12:43
the guys, put the many with the fan motor and they want to stab
12:48
them. Wow. Wow. And so those guys that were in there on
12:56
that section, whatever happened, they shifted, they got rid of and we
13:00
don't hear nothing. So they come, they come, they showing them and
13:05
they them into other units. Were called to the family members of the individual
13:09
that died and the other time that was consulted to be questioned about us,
13:13
won't show anybody else. Okay, if somebody on the unit that is like,
13:26
and then what there is right shown to stand they want trying to say
13:31
the officer, they're saying, there's nothing to saturate your claim. Yeah,
13:37
they'll say not not enough evidence. They'll say insufficient evidence because I've had reports
13:46
sent back to me about it, because I send it stuff all the time.
13:50
But see what's gonna happen is everybody that have loved ones on the outside,
13:54
they're gonna have to start writing and even people that just advocate, you
13:56
know, we're gonna have to start writing these people and let them these people
14:00
know, Hey, we see y'all, we see what you're doing. You
14:03
can't get away with this. You you've been getting away with it, and
14:05
that's what's been happening. But see what's happening is a lot of stuff that
14:09
these people have been doing. It's starting to get exposed. See, being
14:13
quiet and not talking about it, that has that that has kept it these
14:20
people able to do it. But talking about it and putting it out here
14:22
and exposing it, they can't do it. No, they can't continue to
14:26
get away with it. They can't continue to hide it because guess what,
14:31
you you can't keep getting away with understaffing because guess what, people keep loved
14:37
ones keep coming up there, people loved ones keep coming up on suicide or
14:41
watch people keep I mean, they add an extra trauma to y'all and people
14:46
don't understand aunt. But okay, see what this is what I was and
15:09
what I have been saying, and I'm gonna continue to say until everybody you
15:15
know I can send in town blue in the face. I can do it.
15:18
But I'm one person. But and to everybody that has a loved one
15:22
in parts of stand up for their loved ones and say something for their loved
15:26
ones and say, okay, we're not accepting this no more. I mean,
15:28
regardless of what you're done. I mean, we all make mistakes,
15:31
a lot of us, some of us should be in prison. But because
15:35
we did not get caught, we got away with it. We got away
15:37
with it. So guess what. Because we got away with it, we
15:41
need to be trying to show our loved ones how to to to do what
15:45
they need to do to get home, because everybody deserves a second chance to
15:48
get what Texas think and what a lot of these states think about second chances
15:54
and all these laws. See what they do is they break so many laws,
15:58
trying to throw away the key and trying to lock our people away and
16:03
trying to take our people's lives. They make so many mistakes because guess what,
16:10
you you can't miss you the way I said, touching out my muntion
16:15
and be my profit, no harm. People got to understand who we are.
16:18
We are naturally we are the chosen ones. And then people go over
16:21
there and they read over there in Hebrews, and you got to understand that.
16:25
And people got to understand that. Not only that, they go over
16:27
and read in Genesis fifteen. I think it is fifteen. I forget what
16:33
verse it is, but it's over there in fifteen it where it stands that
16:37
we are the chosen. And we got to you got to know that you
16:41
are the chosen. But just knowing that you are the chosen, if we
16:44
be quiet, like see, people been quiet, they've been yes sailing and
16:48
yes, ma'am. Too long. You've been worrying about keeping up with the
16:52
Joneses instead of trying to get your own and trying to excel and trying to
16:56
help bring somebody else up. So that we are as a as a as
17:00
a as a culture, as a we got to get back to that village
17:07
mentality. We lost it. We we lost about caring about each other.
17:11
That that at the end of the day, we can do all that other
17:15
stuff. We can do all that we can. We can write, we
17:19
can we can call, we can protest, we can do all that.
17:25
But if everybody not, if we're not gonna be consistent and don't need doing
17:29
it, because a lot of people they're they'll start something and then that stopped.
17:33
Like a lot of people, I gave them an opportunity to come on
17:38
share on the podcast, you know, and they thought that, you know,
17:41
sharing on the podcast was just gonna change their lives drastically when you got
17:48
to share this podcast, like right now. Black Diamond did a podcast the
17:52
other day. Her podcast is already just a clip, and that's just one
17:57
of her clips, already hitting over to thousand people just the clip thirty seconds,
18:06
and the rest of like a lot of them hitting five hundred. Like
18:11
I ain't even really checked the day to see what it is. But because
18:15
they share and they use their voice and they talk about things that are affecting
18:19
the community, and it's gonna take a lot of us. Okay, how
18:23
many people are you talking to Casey on that on that platform, on that,
18:29
on that, on that sell block with you and telling them to get
18:33
their family to connect with If they don't want to connect with me, you
18:37
got toet. You got other organizations out here just doing stuff. That's I
18:44
see people doing stuff. The individuals you can tell you, but you can't
18:51
make them. Yeah, you do, you can. You can lead them
18:55
to Green counties, but sometimes you just don't want to eat. You love
19:00
your neighbors. You love yourself. If you don't love yourself, you love
19:04
your neighbors. If you don't want to help yourself, you don't want to
19:08
help your neighbor. And you're standing blind on when the wrong is being built
19:11
to something and when you have a right to do something if you have the
19:15
opportunity to do it, but they don't want to do it. A lot
19:18
of people are scared, and I'm understanding the feel of because I'm in here,
19:23
I take for anyone, anyone that needs my help. But even this
19:27
form, I tell them about the long situation. I try to help indivisions
19:32
to build their chances or not getting in trouble. If they get bogus cases.
19:37
I try to do that, like like yesterday, I'm going to I'm
19:41
going to instantly getting getting my sugar check. And I watched the inmate just
19:48
he's walking with a captain and from the twelve building, which is where like
19:52
that big environment come under there while he by this back then walking with his
19:59
black song the white dogs and told him put up your clothes the strip search.
20:04
He said, why you strip searching a man? Why are you run?
20:07
You don't want to do it against that this and and get out your
20:10
clothes. He said, you just want to look at me. This is
20:12
what you want to do. So they came out of the cloth. You
20:15
say, now you send the fine. He said, let me see your
20:18
cant let me see yourself. Then he's stripping in front of a female and
20:21
you're not stripping in like that, degrading them and making them feel less than
20:26
anything, and like the one you stripped this man, but making like that.
20:33
That's the type of abuse they do when you don't have family behind,
20:36
that's what they do to you. They want to humiliated, They want to
20:38
let you feel them less than a man. But you're not supposed to be
20:41
stripping. They make they got, they got thereas that they have a fund.
20:45
When you strip strip searches, then you're not supposed to be doing a
20:49
man like that. It's just what you want to do it. So how
20:55
many people? How many people was traumatized by that? How many people gonna
21:00
start that? How many people was traumatized by that? I'm saying how many
21:03
people saw that? So that affected y'all? So when when things happened,
21:08
like, how did you feel when that happened? Did that do something to
21:11
you? Did that make you feel some type of way? Because that could
21:15
have been you, right, that could have been you, right? Okay,
21:21
So everybody that saw that, they should have been doing a grievance.
21:23
They should have been writing a grievance against that officer that did that. You
21:26
know what, because if you keep writing grievances, people think that no writing
21:30
grievances ain't And yeah, you let keep letting me know, keep having these
21:37
conversations, keep coming on these shows, keep doing not just my show,
21:41
but keep getting on every every opportunity y'all get. Y'all should be sharing y'all
21:45
story, y'all should be getting out here because in Colorado, let me tell
21:48
you what they're doing in Colorado. See, they don't have tablets. They
21:52
don't have the opportunity like y'all have the opportunity to write books. Like well,
21:57
they can write, they can write books if they got people that like
22:00
really help them. But they don't have tablets. You know, they can
22:03
they can do the e messages, but they can't really communicate like like they
22:08
want to. They can call, and they don't have a lot of stuff.
22:12
And I know, y'all just not getting a lot of the opportunities that
22:15
y'all are getting. Y'all just not starting to get it. And then it's
22:18
still y'all don't get a lot of the stuff that they promise y'all. And
22:25
and see that's another thing. But one of my major things is right now
22:30
is that food, that that that that water and the fact that we talk
22:37
about the parole issue that's going on right now because they blaming short staff,
22:45
like short staff all the way around. But it seemed like to me,
22:48
if you were short staff and you got people that's coming up for parole,
22:52
you should be you should be getting you should be letting them come home,
22:55
because if you letting them come home, then that's less people that you got
22:57
to worry about. But see, they don't look at it that way.
23:02
They don't look at it that way. You know. I'm seeing. I'm
23:04
in a lot of groups, you know, and I try to stay connected.
23:08
I try to communicate with people, and I'm in a lot of different
23:11
groups. So there's a group that I'm in, and there's a young lady
23:15
saying that her husband got a F one if I won or something like that.
23:21
And they was asking somebody how long it will before they come home.
23:26
They say he could come home any day now, thirty days, forty days,
23:30
how you know any day now? And somebody say, well, my
23:33
my loved one got an f I won in December and they still locked up
23:37
here it is, and it's finna be made. I mean, well,
23:42
how are they doing that? I mean, you got people huh yeah,
23:52
That's what I'm saying. They not let them go, So how are they
23:53
doing that? How are you issuing people releases? And then you're keeping them
24:00
that's just like you're keeping them hottes. You're keeping them against their will.
24:03
That's like kidnapping them. So can the I wonder can the families found kidnapping
24:07
charges and and different things of that nature. Because like I know, Cornell
24:12
getting ready to come up, he's supposed to come up, and may like
24:18
so, why is why have they not brought him up? Why have they
24:22
not brought him? Why have they not took none of his stuff? Why
24:26
have they not called him? Why have they not had that conversation with him?
24:29
Why they have not done all that? Because moses that when I mean
24:42
it could be like it's time for some of these people to get out.
24:47
I mean, it's whether they whether they give him parole or not. Some
24:49
of these people already at the door. They it's already. It's crazy,
25:04
man, these people it's all about money and and and and we have we
25:11
we broke it down. We talked about it, you know, Shanet and
25:15
myself and some more people. We're gonna get together and we're gonna start breaking
25:18
down some of these cases. We're gonna start going over some stuff. We're
25:22
gonna start breaking down some of these loss in these different states. We're gonna
25:25
start comparing some of this stuff. We're gonna start showing people, you know,
25:29
how these states are getting over and how they are you know, utilizing
25:33
you know, these these these bodies they're on the utilizing these bodies for in
25:41
industrial reasons. Yes, we got y'all that gave it to us, but
25:51
we spend money on it. And why on the weekends when y'all issues going
26:00
on, y'all communication off with our family. You won't let us to write
26:03
anything off enough. We can't even spend on a message. We can't the
26:10
phone off when every time something happens to me. That's that's the worst thing
26:17
when you when you individuals in that fashion where they can't communicate with their family
26:22
members. But that's what they doing because a lot of stuff, a lot
26:26
of stuff is coming down on TDCJ, A lot of stuff is coming down
26:30
on the state of Texas because they've been getting away with a lot of stuff.
26:34
You know, a lot of people are getting vindicated from a lot of
26:38
stuff. A lot of the these cases where these people have used their authority,
26:42
what they have used their power to imprison people and and to ruin people's
26:48
lives. It it's starting to come to the light. You know that lady
26:52
so Cornell had reached out to the lady that come on and and y'all was
26:59
talking about her wanting to expose the District Attorney's office or whatever. Well,
27:06
yeah, she she's a part of her name miss Allison, what she's a
27:15
whatever, her name is Allison, she's a part of she's a part of.
27:19
Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. I don't know who
27:22
the other one. I don't know all of them. I'm just saying I
27:25
know her name came up in this case. That that this girl just got
27:29
out of prison. She was for six years, and she's getting ready to
27:33
through a whole bunch of people, and they getting ready to get They asking
27:40
for Governor Abbot. They got the NA A CP involved, they got the
27:44
A L, L A C. Whatever the people is. They got a
27:47
lot of people involved. They got a young guy. No, her name
27:52
is, it's a young lady. It's a young lady. Her name is
27:56
Casey. If they want to say her name is Casey. But I don't,
27:59
don't get me to lie. I have to Carnell know what I'm talking
28:03
about. I just it just came up. It happened four weeks ago.
28:07
She just came out of prison. She just got the lady did six years.
28:11
See see what the state of Texas have been known to do. And
28:15
this is what a prime example and a lot of cases should be overturned because
28:21
of what happened in this case. Because you look at this young lady's case
28:25
and this all about something about gonna voting. This is all about some voting.
28:30
They ruined this lady's life. They could have had her business took from
28:34
her, They could have had her kids took from her, and her house
28:37
took from her because her neighbor decided to say that she was not elgible to
28:47
vote and just did all kind of lives, told all kind of lives and
28:52
costs, and these people used stay political positions to go against her. And
28:56
when I tell you, these people came up and they spoke that I'm gonna
29:00
share. I'm gonna share the YouTube for those that are tune in that want
29:03
to see and on what I'm talking about. I'm gonna share it so y'all
29:07
can see exactly what I'm talking about, so y'all can see. But this
29:10
has been happening, and it's happening all over the state of Texas, and
29:12
it's happening to a lot of these individuals that are locked up. Yeah,
29:17
some of them did commit their crime, but they over incarcerated them. They
29:23
use their political powers to get over sentences when you know, some of the
29:30
sentences, it's just ridiculous. And it's not just happening in the state of
29:34
Texas. And that's one thing we want to, you know, keep recognizing
29:38
it's not just happening in state of Texas. It's happening in South Carolina.
29:41
It's happening in Colorado, it's happening in New York, it's happening in Philadelphia.
29:45
It's happening everywhere, y'all, And we got to speak up. Wherever
29:49
our loved ones are. We have to speak up, and we have to
29:52
be a voice for them. We can't keep allowing people to do what they
29:57
want to do and then say it's okay, Like right now, Cheanette's husband
30:03
out there in Colorado records steal. Why why would a judge seal his records
30:07
and not allow him access to his records to be able to defend himself When
30:11
y'all have wrongfully and and and overly incarcerated this man. Not only did you
30:17
wrongfully incarcerate him, but you overly incarcerated him because you you you try to
30:22
charge him with something that happened and then you you got a conviction because of
30:26
something that never happened. And it made no sense, like it takes Shannette
30:30
to really break it down and tell you exactly what happened. And it's crazy
30:36
because guess what what happened to him has happened to so many of you guys,
30:41
and I hear it all the time. I hear it all the time.
30:42
That's what the position stuffs, and then take advantage of the situation,
30:52
the conviction. They don't care about you, right or wrong. They don't
30:56
care now one thing about up they're supposed to be about, just supposed to
31:02
be about friends. They're They're not being about friends. They're about right and
31:06
wrong and their abuse, their dogge. When they get these convictions, when
31:08
they give you all the time like I'm not, like I always said,
31:15
innocent. I noticed, boss, I get fifty years in prison like they
31:21
gave I have to do half of that time, and I'm going to to
31:25
come up with coole. But I heard the assistant DA said that they couldn't
31:30
unise my pa thing to to entence my to be able to give me the
31:37
time that they gave. I was supposed to be challenged like most The first
31:41
time that I've never been in trouble, I was younger, but that was
31:48
there's people right now. But there's people right now that are committing crimes every
31:53
day out here right now, you know, there's committing crimes every day.
31:57
There's a guy right now. Guy killed his wife point black range with a
32:01
solid our shotgun. He told her, he told her, and it's on
32:06
camera. Nothing nobody we saw the camera. They keep playing it. He
32:10
told her that he's going to meet her maker, and he shot her and
32:16
she died. So guess what they gave her. They gave him ten years
32:21
for killing his wife on camera. Anybody else they would have gave what if
32:25
it hadn't been us, they would have thrown the book at us. We
32:28
would have got some years plus we would have got a capital life sentence,
32:32
probably two three. They would have did all kind of stuff to throw different
32:35
kind of stuff at us. That's what they do. That's what they do
32:38
in the state of Text, what all over all right all over the United
32:43
States, that's what they do. Y'all call is gonna call back. I
32:51
tell you, every opportunity I get to allow them the opportunity to come on
32:59
and share. They're they're they're in a situation right now where water is scarce.
33:08
They they have to order bottles of water, and then they only allow
33:12
them to get twenty twenty four at a time, which if they drink drink
33:16
three bottles of water a day, it's only gonna last them eight days.
33:22
But they bring bottles of water in every day for the guards. So if
33:27
you can bring water in every day for the guards, why can't you bring
33:29
it in for the prisons through the is the prisoner's lives not it is the
33:35
prisoner's lives not value as much as the guards. But you will make them
33:39
drink that water. That something that's wrong with and been documented that there's something
33:45
wrong with the water, Like I don't get it, like this is this
33:52
is what they're doing too all over, not just in the state of Texas,
33:58
They're doing it everywhere. You can, I guarantee you you can go
34:01
and you can check your water and see what is going on with the water
34:08
in prisons. And it's always an issue. You always gonna have someone talking
34:14
about what's going on with the water. It always smells, it always it
34:20
just it's terrible. And it's always something with the food. It's always something
34:24
with the housing, something always going on goods. That's them calling back y'all.
34:39
Well again, it's just it's it's always something conversation. Hello, Hello,
34:58
Yes, okay. So I was telling those that are tuned in,
35:05
because there's some individuals that are tuned in. Shout out to Cheanette Whiteside.
35:10
She's one of the hosts on the Coup podcast. Shout out to Arthur Black
35:15
Diamonds. She's one of the hosts on the Cool Podcast. Shout out to
35:19
Trevida. She's one of the hosts over here on the Cool podcast. Patrice
35:24
Brinball, she's one of the hosts that with Hell the Tanya Michelle Little chimed
35:31
in, So chiming in. But back to you. We were talking about
35:37
the water crisis. We were talking about we we talked about the parole,
35:40
we talked about the shortage. But let's talk about the water and the food
35:45
that that that that's what I want to talk about. Let's talk about the
35:49
water and the food because I've been I have a list of foods that they
36:00
have been serving over on the McConnell unit and it's been nothing but Johnny.
36:06
And for those that are tuned in that may not know what a Johnny is,
36:09
because a lot of people don't know what Johnny's are. They're not familiar
36:14
with the lingo. So tell everybody what a Johnny is, Johnny sack Mill
36:20
is. This is what it's consistent. This is what they tread us today.
36:25
We're all men peanut butter and jenny sous just mixed with peanut butter and
36:30
jelly and turve and just watered up. The other day. It may have
36:36
a little bit of ground meat uh spone size. Uh today we had they
36:45
said it was tunea saturn. Now tone the saturn. It's supposed to be
36:49
fall inces of meat. But what they're feeding are discycle meat mixed with uh
36:58
make salle dress and may have or something. And sometimes it's just the tulas
37:01
sat a dressing or sometimes they're straight tune them. It depends on how they
37:06
want to fix it. But the male is just consisted of with the thief
37:10
amount to feed the individual. In here is the lower calorie count for the
37:16
way for long, the nutritional standard for a man to be sustainable. In
37:22
here, the joint meal comes me to have uh twobetes. That's what I'm
37:30
coming that. I've been trying to maintain it. I've been keeping my numbers
37:35
right on that but that's the reason why I've been having problems with my health
37:42
is because of that. I've lost thirty in one month because of the way
37:45
they feel. And that's what you put in those situations where my health is
37:52
at stake. But they're doing that, and then when you when you try
37:55
to tell them about what what what it is can shifted on CDC standard j
38:02
H not for help for the speed because they have a whole list one they're
38:09
supposed to see, they gonna do that. But the ward when told me
38:14
when I'm from agree, he said that it's not it's not the kitchen staff
38:19
that's doing it to there's not money them, it's the inmates that's feeding you,
38:23
doing you like this. It's your own it's your own kindness in there.
38:28
But just that sas they don't saying a couper box to be supervisors,
38:32
so little supervis So okay, So you so you telling okay. So he's
38:40
trying to say that the inmates are the ones that selling you that. So
38:45
who allow whoever fixing the food? Who who give them what they're supposed to
38:49
feed? Do they just go in there and decide, Oh, they just
38:52
want to flop. I'm saying, do they just go in there and say
38:53
they just don't flop some peanut butter on there, or that's just what it
38:57
is. I mean, that's what they told to do, and that's what
39:00
they do, so you can't throw it out on that's what the other inmates
39:05
are doing because they're doing what they told to do. I can guarantee you
39:08
that's what they do. So okay, so you work in the kitchen,
39:12
so what's going on? So what was going on when you worked in the
39:16
kitchen? So what happened? Yeah, supert, the mess, the warning,
39:28
trying to throw it off and it's okay, So okay, so who
39:38
okay, so since you worked in the kitchen, so who do we who?
39:42
Who do we blame so that we know who to who to who to
39:45
get on? Because us, because they're the one that super boled in everything
39:55
that they need to fix it, they got to give it to them.
40:00
And then you got an opposite. They're standing right there while they fixing the
40:02
Johnny. So we can't say, you know, we take you calen of
40:06
somebody. But I used to work in there, you know, I don't
40:10
take it. But the man they got me out the kitchen because I speak
40:14
up. I'm making Johnny's, but I'm making them Johnny's approbably where somebody's gonna
40:20
give I'm not gonna be put down that Chelly and stuff, and it's who
40:23
wants peanut butter in there. I'm gonna fix the appropriate Johnny he puts that,
40:28
I'm gonna put the meat on there. You're gonna have media and you're
40:30
gonna that you post it's gonna have the four hours of meat. So what
40:32
I was doing I was supposed to do because well, I'm only trying to
40:37
eat like I want to eat. No fix it like the regulations finds signing
40:42
that you post that they said you supposed to have with everything in it,
40:45
which is four hours of meat, but they want you to put uh a
40:50
little bitty scripture. That's right, the meat with Tina butter. You post
40:55
that two ounces of peanut butter. They're gonna only give you less than I
41:00
have. But that's not what it is. But the Johnny's that you're still
41:04
missing the nutritional value far as vegetables. You're not getting vegetables, you're not
41:08
getting true you're not getting the finger that you need to sustain it. Don't
41:13
help you want to know why people got Downbetes. You want to why people
41:16
coming up with counseling because there's a lot of caunter coming up in here.
41:21
And I believe the count is coming from the water. Because the water they
41:24
got a fund that comes in when you when your family or physics to come
41:29
up to the youth, they said do not drink use only. So why
41:35
do you have something that says in the use only and you're not and you
41:38
you got but you won't even let nobody from society. You don't even let
41:43
your office drink. They got the waters that they go along that the unit.
41:51
They got these chances for for the officers, and they drink bottle water,
41:55
but you want us to drink the water from the drowsed in the same
42:00
what you're saying is not good members each telling them when you know, but
42:08
what you're telling for the inmates. But you always calling people out to do.
42:13
Then you go to land their blood working people down there every every six
42:20
months or yeah, because they want to see they want to see what what
42:24
is development, They want to see what kind of what what is forming you
42:28
know from all of these experiments that they're doing, because it's it's it's all
42:32
different kinds of experiments, the food from from down to the food, the
42:37
food, the water. You know, even mentally, you know, some
42:42
of these people is going crazy mentally. They're killing theirself, they're cutting off
42:45
their penises, they're doing all kind of stuff. You know, this stuff
42:49
is happening. This stuff is happening for real, and people not it's just
42:52
like nobody's talking about it. Everybody's being quiet. It's time out for being
42:57
quiet. It's time out for sitting on the side lies, watching other people
43:05
you know come on the podcast, watching other people you know, write articles,
43:08
watch other people you know share different things to you know, bring light
43:13
to what's going on. It's gonna take everybody. It's gonna take family members
43:16
on the outside, going to these courthouses, standing on these court steps,
43:22
going to these different places. We can't be quiet, not in this season,
43:25
because people lives have been affected. Too many people have been put behind
43:29
these prison walls. Not right, Like the governor needs to be impeached,
43:36
The governor needs to be impeached, the Lieutenant governor needs to be impeached,
43:40
the attorney general need to be impeached. All of them need to be impeached,
43:45
and I'm standing on it. I ain't moving off of it. It
43:47
is what it is. I'm not moving what happened to the money? Because
44:01
you feed and where we can go to find that up? Because what what?
44:09
What? What can we go to locate these things? Because the last
44:13
time I checked in twenty twenty two, it said that Governor Abbott diverted three
44:17
hundred and something million. I had to go back and get the correct figures.
44:22
I did an article on it. But he diverted that many millions from
44:27
the prison system and and sent it to the the the border and ain't nothing
44:32
changed at the border. It seemed like to me the boar has gotten worse.
44:36
So what did you do with three hundred and something million dollars? Like
44:38
where are the receipts? When? When are we gonna get itemized detail,
44:43
you know, accountability for what has happened to all of this money? But
44:52
then you're taking all that away. They're doing it everywhere. It's not just
44:55
in the state of Texas. They're doing it everywhere. They doing it in
44:58
New York and they turned they taking whole hotels and turning it into shelters.
45:02
This is what they're doing like they're doing so they're doing so much. Why
45:08
your governor that that is something you have to blame on your governor. I
45:13
mean, that's not a whole lot that you know, individuals can do about
45:16
that. That's something you have to blame on your governor because he's not He
45:20
don't have an insentative. Your governor and the person that run TDCJ. Those
45:24
are the two people that's in control of that because they can put together a
45:28
package that's gonna draw people. Okay, I hear a commercial that says that
45:31
TDCJ is gonna be the place to be, that's gonna be the place to
45:35
work. Like, people don't want to work there. People don't want to
45:37
be there. Okay, they're gonna have to do some drastic change change.
45:40
You know, I got a plan. I've been doing research on them.
45:45
That's that's for the last My last two classes last quarter was done around TDCJ.
45:52
All of my papers I got perfect scores on. I got perfect scores
45:55
on. So I'm ready for them. You know. My teacher was like,
45:59
I should be a con So I'm ready for them. Anytime they want
46:01
to sit down and have a conversation, I'm ready. I'm ready to build
46:06
with them. Anytime anybody want to sit down and have a conversation about how
46:09
we can you know, change even if we can start our own private prison.
46:15
Man, if we can start our own private prison and take over some
46:16
of these prisons and get man, I'm telling you, man, we can
46:22
go into the state of Texas and grab Poe too and show these people how
46:25
to run prisons. They did it, and they did it in Georgia and
46:34
then and not only that, Texas has Texas hands private prisons. I already
46:38
looked at it. I already looked at it. So why not why we
46:42
can't. I know people that's into security. I know a lady that worked
46:45
for the sheriff office for thirty eight years. She has her own private security
46:50
company right now. She's done details for aj Wilson, the NBA basketball player
46:54
that went to USC Tyler Perry. Of people she's done stuff for, and
47:02
she got the credentials like she could probably start something inside and out. Like
47:08
I know, work the prisons. You know, I ain't get perfect scores
47:13
on these papers for nothing. I got perfect scores on these papers for what
47:17
Because I know a little bit. I know a little something that can help
47:21
somebody that they willing to sit down, like there's so much stuff that you
47:25
know. If you don't want me to be a part of TDCJ, let
47:29
me be a consultant. Let me help you get on track, and you
47:32
can get all the credit. Just pay me. That's all I want.
47:36
You can get all the credit. I don't care. I will help you
47:38
get on track. Just pay me, because I'm telling you I can help
47:43
you get on track. I can help you turn this prison system if even
47:47
there's a way that if they want to make money, there's a way that
47:51
they can make money, and even the prisoners, the people that are working
47:54
that they are making work for free right now, can get paid and everybody
48:00
can win and it can benefit society because guess what, the people that they
48:04
are working, that are working, they are able to send money home to
48:07
pay child support. So guess what when it's time for them to get out,
48:10
when it's time for them to parole, when it's time for them,
48:13
they don't have child support to hold them up, they don't have nothing to
48:16
hold them up because guess what, they're working towards coming out. I keep
48:20
telling people when these people go in, when they are going through, separating
48:27
them and putting them in population and classifying them. This is the time when
48:30
they need to go through assessment. They need to assess them. They need
48:35
to assess everything about them that's gonna make them hold that they will be able
48:37
to parole whatever timeframe that they say that these people should be able to perfrole.
48:42
They should have something in place that they can be working on each year
48:45
to get towards that. When they do these setoffs, they should put something
48:51
in place. Tell them, hey, this is what you need to work
48:53
on. This is what's gonna have you prepare to see. These people don't
48:57
want you to come home. These people don't want that. And see,
49:00
people are more to me. People are more beneficial on the outside because guess
49:05
what, they can generate their own funds for their own families. More is
49:08
going back into the household. But when they're locked up, it benefits all
49:14
those the elected officials the time out for that. It's time to get some
49:17
new people in charge. That's why family members got to vote. And y'all
49:22
got to tell your family members to get off they butt go vote. Don't
49:25
cast y'all to the swine. A lot of them. Okay, yeah,
49:29
you may did your you may did your crime, okay, but you're doing
49:31
your time. We're not asking for favors, we're not asking for handout.
49:37
We're just asking for people to stand up and do what's right. Because but
49:44
at the end of the day, this could be anybody. This could be
49:46
anybody because these people do not care. These people do not care another thing
49:54
something on the gen vocational skills and don't somebody a chance to help, but
50:04
working drunk skills. When you're unit and some of the other units, all
50:10
those units, you have to understand that those units that are far out and
50:14
people just it is what it is, all those units that are far out,
50:16
you've been thrown to the wolves. Understand it, accept it, and
50:20
understand. If you don't really abilitate yourself, you won't be a real abilitator.
50:23
If you won't go through, you won't do this stuff yourself. You
50:27
won't y'all won't come together and do these programs and say, Okay, we're
50:29
gonna better ourselves for us, then guess what, you're not gonna get it
50:32
because guess what, y'all having shortages. People don't want to come out there.
50:37
People don't have packages together to say hey, i'll go, I'll I'll
50:42
drive these amount of hours. I'll work these amount of hours because people are
50:45
driving if you're paying them. Because I know in Atlanta, Man, people
50:50
was driving. People drive from Making to Atlanta. People drive from Chattanoogle to
50:52
Alant Man, people are driving from Anderson to Atlanta two hours both what two
50:58
hours a day hour forty five minutes an hour. People was driving it because
51:04
it was worth it. The pay was worth it. People was doing it.
51:07
If the pay is worth it, they'll do it. If if going
51:10
to a place is satisfying, people want to do it. But going to
51:15
a place it's dragon, they don't want to do it. That's why it's
51:19
easy for these people to call lie. It's easy for these people to smuggle
51:22
in drugs. It's easither for these people to do the stuff that they do.
51:25
It's easy for them to do that because they don't care what they get
51:30
caught, because they know if what if they get caught, they may get
51:34
a couple of months in prison. They go do it a couple of months
51:36
and then they go on with their life. Man, these people know these
51:45
folks be smoking drugs because I don't hurt. I don't hurt people that don't
51:50

51:53
get so much every day, Like I get stuff every day, not just
51:58
from the men, but from the women too, And it's always something,
52:01
and it's from different places like me and Chanette. And then I hear stuff
52:06
like tonight, it's Sunday on our other on the network that I'm a part
52:10
of. I go over there and I hear Chinchilla talking about what's going on
52:15
in Philadelphia, what's going on or whoever she may have on the show tonight.
52:21
You know, but this is what we hear. It's not just in
52:23
Texas, but we're fighting for people all over and we're gonna be sharing these
52:30
stories. So I definitely I thank you for coming on. I thank you
52:32
for sharing again. Tell people who you are and how can they support t
52:39
d c J if they want to write, if they want to do something,
52:44
How can people get involved in the area. You have to you have
52:52
to get to congressmen's involved, your people. There's the one that that can
52:59
take it and get something down about t d c D. So that will
53:04
be your rhyme. That, yeah, that would be your rhyme. Rentals
53:08
yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, ship yeah Shirley Jackson, Lee,
53:17
your Carlos Sherman's, your Monica Dela Cruz, your Gray Abbots, Yeah,
53:24
all of those them other people. You go. You gotta go and holding
53:31
what your family meals in prison and comes races. You gotta hold those that.
53:35
Then you gotta hold them responsible. They're supposed to the legislate, the
53:40
body that that change. The change start with them. It don't start with
53:45
the people. The people have the voice. You're you're the rules that they're
53:51
supposed to be doing the things for. They represent you. It's not it's
53:54
not we the government supposed to be we the people. We the people have
54:00
the voice for the change. If you don't, because the change, they're
54:02
gonna keep all the views and their authority you got. If you're not your
54:08
your congressman's accountable, then they're gonna use their don they're gonna be trying to
54:14
run the things that they be doing it. The way they're one of those
54:16
is not appropriate. They're supposed to be the voice of the people. The
54:20
people supposed to have the voice in the legislative body. God won't give me
54:24
voice back. They're gonna work for you. They work for you, but
54:29
they work for all of us. Your family members are there righting my family.
54:32
My family members fight for me, They helped me. They are they
54:37
for me, my sisters, my mother, my kids. They advocate for
54:44
their and my niece and nephews. They became for their uncle. They'll be
54:46
pay for their father. They are paid for the brother, the boy.
54:55
You gotta make the difference, Make the difference, nobody's asking. I mean,
55:05
we all matter, we us, your loved one. We just made
55:09
a mistake. But that does the means that we're where the point of forgiveness.
55:16
And you know, sometimes people hold grudge it sometimes they don't know how
55:22
to forgive. You got to forgive us for our wrongs. God forgive us.
55:28
He's a forgiving God. Why came to other humans have their same grace
55:34
and forgive us for our wrongs. You know That's why I see. Don't
55:39
look at us for the wrong with God. Don't look at the way we
55:43
all pay, look at the change that we make it, try to make
55:45
a difference. We don't make the change. I'm not nowhere near the same
55:52
individual I was when I first got locked up in this case. He would
55:58
have we don't know. Commedy Unit on TDC numbers one, sixty three,
56:02
four five nine. Anybody need to help, an advice, you want to
56:07
do anything that you want to, I'm willing help to help anyone you know.
56:12
I'm I'm here. I'm here there for the voice. I'm here for
56:15
us to make the change that we all need to try to make a difference,
56:20
to make this place a better place and to make people better work before
56:22
they get out of here. That's what I do here. I hear with
56:27
the young men in here to try to find themselves to be better than what
56:30
they want to build. Man, know how to walk in the shoes that
56:34
they're supposed to walk in, because a lot of these young men in there,
56:37
they all have that from another man. And to make sure that I'm
56:44
involved myself with a lot of other men. That's that's what we have to
56:52
do. We have to help other people grow in here because a lot of
56:55
young men they lost, but they don't know what it is to build man.
57:00
And we gotta we gotta show up their roles to what you're feel meant
57:02
not to be another uh when they come out prison, but to be to
57:09
fill change whatever that they'll be a light shining on them, knowing that they're
57:15
making a difference in society to be something in society and being something destructive in
57:21
society. Man, I thank you for your time. All right, you
57:24
have a good one. You have a good one, y'all. I'll tell
57:27
you I have truly been blessed on tonight. Every opportunity I get to share
57:31
something that is taking place within TDC J to give y'all perspective exactly from them,
57:38
give you an opportunity to hear directly from them, so they just not
57:44
know, he say, she say, because a lot of times people will
57:46
say, well, how do we know that this is what's taking place?
57:51
You know, they can post one thing, but if several people are saying
57:57
the same things, and sometime, y'all, we got to look at you
58:00
know, the message that's being said. You know why it's several people saying
58:07
the same thing about the same thing, and your story one it's always a
58:15
generic story. And how can that generic story be the same thing? But
58:20
you know their stories are similar, but it's not the same words, but
58:23
yours always the same. It can't be. So sometimes we got to look
58:29
at the people that's giving out the stuff. You have to look at the
58:31
people that's in charge the unbuzzment. You got to look at the executive directors.
58:35
We got to look at the the what you call them people, the
58:42
officer in term in general inspector, and all these people that supposed to be
58:47
non biased. Really what what what what what are they gaining from TDCJ.
58:55
Well, what are these people? What? What? What are they gaining?
58:59
The reason why they will not hold these people kind because there's no way
59:05
that these people can keep doing what they're doing and getting away with it.
59:08
And people are making noise about their family members, and then they have the
59:13
balls to say that they can do this because they are who they are.
59:17
Ain't no way I was in the stead of Texas and I would have been
59:22
had some lawsuits and some families need to step up, and they need to
59:27
start getting some lawyers, and they need to start suing these people because they
59:30
are violating their family rights. They are treating them less than humans. They
59:37
need to open up that reopen the RUSS versus a stale case. Violation of
59:45
the Eighth Amendment is in full effect every day with these Johnny Sacks, every
59:54
day with the trauma that their cousm with regular inmates, watching suicidal inmates they're
1:00:00
not supposed to be doing that, So it's to be certified mental health professionals.
1:00:07
How you gonna put a regular inmate because they so called a life coach
1:00:13
in charge of watching another inmate causing more trauma Like and then y'all wonder why
1:00:22
that they aggression? That's so much fighting. It be so much going on,
1:00:30
a lot of this stuff. They pick up with what theyre doing,
1:00:36
and then they sit back and act like they did nothing when they brought a
1:00:42
lot of this upon it. Y'all, we gotta stand up, not just
1:00:46
in the state of Texas, but all over. It's happening, and we
1:00:51
gotta wake up as people. It's happening to our people. They sitting back
1:00:58
and they watching, and then they'll throw a few brown people in there every
1:01:04
now and then, but the majority of them is our people. Look at
1:01:08
J. C. Pennis and the and the picture asks that they've been having.
1:01:13
Now they getting back to the photography. But now they want to have
1:01:19
the picture with the mom and the two kids for the black family. But
1:01:25
the white family, they got a mom and a dad. They're funny,
1:01:30
like you're gonna make us not be a complete family? Like that's how you
1:01:36
portray us because that's how you see us. But guess what, h y'all
1:01:40
ain't stopping nothing. We believe in family, y'all were taking back what's ours,
1:01:46
Like everything that y'all have tried to stop us from having, everything that
1:01:52
y'all have tried to stop y'all, it's over them, four hundred and something
1:01:59
years plus that y'all have. I hope y'all enjoyed them, because I'm telling
1:02:07
you, you just don't know what's in store for a lot of people,
1:02:15
Like some people are not gonna believe or power and the stuff that they boy
1:02:20
to possess and the things that they about to see and do. Like y'all,
1:02:25
I'm about to go. I'm excited. I'm about to go. I
1:02:29
got some homework to do. I got to get this uploaded. Thank y'all
