- 4:08all over the United States, especially for bringing awareness to what's happening with your
- 4:13husband and allowing me to come on and share what's happening in the great old
- 4:18state of Texas. What's not going on. I tell you, I probably
- 4:28could write about twenty books about what is going on in the state of Texas.
- 4:32Everybody that followed me knows that I go hard about the state of Texas.
- 4:39I don't know how I got caught up with the State of Texas,
- 4:42but now I am involved, and I can't let it go because for the
- 4:46likes of me I can't sit by and see something that needs to be done
- 4:53and not do something. And I don't know how to write. In the
- 4:56State of Texas live with themselves, I don't know how they sleep it at
- 5:00night with the things that's taking place. You know, so many people that
- 5:02are wrongfully and overly incarcerated in the State of Texas, and then what is
- 5:08taking place within the TDCJ, within these facilities. It's unmane and it's just
- 5:15downright outrageous. But I thank God for the God that I serve. He
- 5:20is amazing and he has yet unturning things, bringing things to light. And
- 5:29it may not be moving as fast as some of us wanted to move,
- 5:32but God's time is always on time, and sometimes we have to go through
- 5:38some things in order for God to get some things together and to get some
- 5:43things right. Wow exact So yeah, I am Wow. Young lady say
- 5:49her nephew has been incarcerated since he was fourteen years old, guilty by association,
- 5:57and he's forty, he's in his forty. Yeah, that's a lot.
- 6:01That's a lot of what I've been hearing, especially with the cases that
- 6:08I hear in t d c J. Carnell is has been incarcerated for the
- 6:19last thirty three years, wrongfully incarcerated, and he can like tell you a
- 6:28lot of things that have been going on within the t d c J,
- 6:32within the judicial system. There is so much corruption in the state of Texas.
- 6:39So it's just it's just insane, Like I don't see for the lights
- 6:43of me. I listen to a lot of these cases, and I hear
- 6:46people talk about their cases, and I'm like, some of this stuff that
- 6:49people are locked up for, if they were in another state, they would
- 6:56have gotten probably house, a rest or weekend time or something where their lives
- 7:03wouldn't been so erupted and and so disrupted and and and then also color the
- 7:18color of their skin plays to me, it seems like it plays a part
- 7:24of the of the condiction as well. Well, we're gonna go back to
- 7:30we we we have to go back to slavery. It was just a transition
- 7:35from slavery, and to people realize that and understand that it was just another
- 7:41form of slavery. And if you follow the paper trail, you follow these
- 7:44trails, you follow these things, it's all gonna lead back to it's gonna
- 7:48lead back to slavery. You you you talk about the thirteenth Amendment, the
- 7:53the clause that they have in there that prisoners, that the servitude the free
- 8:01server two for if you break the law, if you become a prison then
- 8:07they can they can require you to work to pay off your to pay off
- 8:13your debt to society or whatever, which is just another form of slavery.
- 8:16And then you look at the amount of people that are incarcerated in the numbers.
- 8:22You look at the numbers, you look at who is behind these people,
- 8:26and you look at the numbers, and then you got to go back
- 8:31to and it's something that Patrice said on her shoulder other night. Well,
- 8:35we talk about education, we talk about you look at how they decide how
- 8:41they build prisons. They're already working on building thirty one prisons over the next
- 8:48what five six years? Yeah, I know, man, they get ready
- 8:56to build prisons, prisons that are billion dollar prisons. They talking about building
- 9:03prisons that's gonna be ran by robots, prisons that's gonna be this. I
- 9:07mean, what they are doing is it's just it's it's it's crazy. It's
- 9:13just crazy. But there's a lot that upon they put these these guys in
- 9:20prison, and then it's like they throw away the key. They they wrongfully
- 9:26convict them, or they falsify evidence and they get them in prison. And
- 9:33then they're telling them that they have to use the law, they have to
- 9:37go by this, they have to go by this, they have to be
- 9:39in this, they have to be in that. And then when they do
- 9:43that, then they always coming back with something. That's every every case that
- 9:48I'm here, I'm hearing people say that a judge said that they shouldn't be
- 9:56incarcerated. They shouldn't be this, they shouldn't be that that, this shouldn't
- 10:01be this, and this shouldn't be that. Well, if this is the
- 10:03case, then why won't you get up off your butt, you the judge,
- 10:07Why don't you get up off your butt and go and take it to
- 10:11the person that can do something about it. If y'all two come together,
- 10:16then y'all can do something about it. They're not. They're not. I
- 10:20had a mother tell me because her she has a son actually in Denver.
- 10:30When I was out there, a mother came up to me and she told
- 10:31me that the judge that presided over her son's case told him that he would
- 10:39never get out. He gonna make it where he never come home. And
- 10:45that's what they do. And then they they they they they. This is
- 10:48what happened to Cornell. This is this is what this is what has happened
- 10:54to him. And I'm gonna allow him to tell his story because he can
- 10:58upbody tell it like him. He he knowed, He's walked it out.
- 11:03He can do it it over the last thirty three years. As as much
- 11:05as I tell it, I can't tell it like him. Cornell, please
- 11:11share your story, introduce yourself and and and tell people about your story.
- 11:24I can't hear him years old, Wall, you can't hear him. No,
- 11:33I can't hear him. Oh, let me shut up? Can you
- 11:45hear me now? I can hear you now? Can you? Oh?
- 11:52Okay? My name is corn in San Antonio, Texas. I'm sixty two
- 11:56years old. I'm incatrabrated it in the past thirty three years from which is
- 12:03on Sabatonian six. I'm here for a party to the office of a murder
- 12:09and a delivery of a consoled suffice grandson. Secret. Okay, my conviction
- 12:15to wrong for the training for simple fact that you know all the evidence in
- 12:18this chase for Faber chasers from more stay goes my roof going to stuff my
- 12:24pallifics, the gun stuff the bid that Jason case is a white to furnaces
- 12:33because she n his white cheers on the fro the penal. She don't right
- 12:37from the penalty. So I upon the district attorney who the court room to
- 12:43be closed during fipacy. I'm the only American in the courtroom with chim white
- 12:50police officers standing behind me in the courtroom and the product of an all white
- 12:54jewelry that's on the delivery case I got from dicted the polite case, I
- 12:58got fifty five. Setting back to court again three months later, and the
- 13:03very same thing in court with another all white jury with the doors locked between
- 13:11two highly publicized capital murther crowns Okays didn't black so the jury. So again
- 13:16I was everything to feel on my case, come to learn, and no
- 13:24records ever one of the court appeal to a conviction. Well, now might
- 13:31have taken it upon myself to a thorough investigation and some of the case,
- 13:35but well, did I know my case is a part of an evidence six
- 13:37and jug donation da favoritism of bring Er racketeerans cantal which is all over the
- 13:43state cases this process has justice system and had said some people to PRIs the
- 13:50crown they didn't commit. And I'm talking about thousands and thousands of the man
- 13:56women the rights of the day commit Right now, we're dealing with a situation
- 14:01of a case right now for bird Old Delapoods. He was convicted in Houston,
- 14:07Texics now or found that he didn't commit. And since this time,
- 14:11you know, his family has fought hert just like our families have bought hard
- 14:13to try to get him the gunnery. But his case. But here in
- 14:16the state of Texas, I state Lstens leaders and I Texas representatives and our
- 14:20Texas governors, and then they do not care anything of Bautle justice money.
- 14:28She's absolutely right. This is a slavery state that because of that, the
- 14:33fountains of us in prison, because of the involuntary subvite that being incorporated and
- 14:39working for free in these prisman systems. Who can't get it. Why here
- 14:43in the state of Texas we have what you call a liven or seven and
- 14:48once you read it one time, you can't find anything else that which means
- 14:54that these people are in the evidence that theyre denign you. So when you
- 14:58do get the evidence, ain't usual it no more. But that's what you
- 15:01have to stay in prison for the rest of your life. The same with
- 15:05the juvenile opportunity. They did them the same. They will go away.
- 15:09These kids have to do forty years friends because they were friends and compete at
- 15:16juvenile So the atentions do not want to do anything to give them a release.
- 15:22Justice now, I think prism for three times now and I'm gonna do
- 15:28it justice, but this time belongs that the justice system. They go one
- 15:35joint operation. That's what I belonged, and like right now the commite.
- 15:43But he wants nothing to receive. So that's that's unbelievable. That's unbelievable.
- 15:52First you had yours. He didn't have a he Cornell said that he didn't
- 16:00have a jury of his peers and all. And that's what they do,
- 16:06that's what they have been doing. They bring people they they don't look like
- 16:11you, and and and what it and and the law says that you're supposed
- 16:18to have a a jury of your peers. That mean people that represent you,
- 16:22people that can connect with you. So if if I am, if
- 16:29I'm black, then there should be some black people on my jury. If
- 16:33I'm a giantic, there should be some Hispanic people on my jury. It
- 16:37should not be an all white jury. And and that's what they have been
- 16:41doing in the State of Texas, like the State of Texas have been doing
- 16:45a lot. They have been doing a lot that they should not be doing
- 16:52for real. And it's sad. They are corrupt. And it start with
- 16:59the gold It start with him, and it goes down. And this has
- 17:03been going on now three to four decades. You're heading into a fifth decade
- 17:11because it's been a long time. This man has been in office for a
- 17:15long time. You're talking about people that have been locked up. Now,
- 17:18I'm I'm man. This ain't ain't no ain't no joke. It's not a
- 17:22joke. It's not a joke with me. This and these are people that
- 17:27that I that I deal with on a on a day to day basis that
- 17:32that that called me that's locked up in the t c J. These people
- 17:37call me and tell me about their cases, every last one of them.
- 17:41If you listen to their story, it's a pattern. It is it's a
- 17:44pattern of corruption in the State of Texas. They evident they lied witnesses to
- 17:52lot, they have perjured, they've done all kinds of stuff, and then
- 17:56you bring it up, you bring it before them. Then they wanna they
- 18:02want to drop the time stamps. They want to say, oh, well,
- 18:06the time is past that. How if I'm innocent, How you do
- 18:11time expire on me being innocent? I'm always gonna be if I'm innocent,
- 18:15I'm always gonna be innocent. It shouldn't be an expiration on me being innocent.
- 18:22If I'm innocent and y'all no put me in prison and I'm innocent,
- 18:26then y'all should be setting me free. My thing is, if y'all y'all
- 18:33got these people up here, y'all say, y'all couldn't do nothing. Y'all
- 18:36couldn't reverse the charges. Y'all couldn't do nothing. Okay, so now you
- 18:38got them in prison, you can't reverse the charges. But you can.
- 18:42You can. You can let them go home, you can parole them out.
- 18:47You can let these people out now if you don't know. But they
- 18:51don't want to. They don't want to admit that they have wrong people.
- 18:55That's the issue, right, And then they think that they gonna they're gonna
- 18:59miss it out on money. Because if you look at it, I'm in
- 19:03all these different little groups. You look at it, follow the money trail
- 19:07that your governor, Your governor Texas, this man get a kickback of about
- 19:11fifty five thousand a year year from the prisonces that goes to his campaign.
- 19:18It is in black and white. I got it on a snapshot. Somebody
- 19:21posted it inside of a group and I got it. And he's not the
- 19:26only one. You You got people that elected officials that are getting money.
- 19:32I'm talking about that. It may not be a whole lot, but they
- 19:33are getting money and it shouldn't be happening. That is a conflict of interest.
- 19:40How how how can they be biased? When you you you got your
- 19:45hands in the cookie jar? How can you be biased? How can you
- 19:51be just? You cannot? It's okay because the one at us I'm telling
- 19:59you, I'm writing I'm in school. Everybody that follow me and support the
- 20:04platform, No, I'm in school. I'm working on my master's and I'm
- 20:07taking a leadership and organizational behavior class. And we had to pick an organization
- 20:15to write about and to talk about things that they are failing in and things
- 20:22that can be fixed and how to fix it and offer solutions. Man,
- 20:27y'all know I wrote on TDCJ. Yeah, y'all, y'all know I wrote
- 20:32on TDJ and the parole ard. Okay, So the first paper I actually
- 20:38turned it in like I didn't get all of the points, but hey,
- 20:42I made a a. How about that? I made an a on it?
- 20:45So the second one, how about I get all the points? And
- 20:49my teacher told me, he said, you should be a consultant for them.
- 20:55Huh, I should be a consultant for TDCJ. Huh figure that.
- 21:00So I'm writing my papers and and they can't say that these are lies because
- 21:07guess what, Huh, my teacher make us turn in our sources. We
- 21:14have to turn in our sources. We had to turn in our stuff what
- 21:15we do our research from. And baby, they don't play with plagiarism.
- 21:18So guess what, Huh, it's gotta be fat, And it's it's gotta
- 21:22be fat. I say, when when this class is over and done with,
- 21:26I'm about to print this. I'm about to put I'm about to publish
- 21:30these papers, and I'm about to go throw it on the on on on
- 21:33the Senate flow. I'm about to hear have goohmh, this, this is
- 21:38what y'all need. This is what y'all need right here, because it's that
- 21:42it's not roll down the parole board, it's not broke down all that foolishness.
- 21:48But see what has happened is they start out with giving these individuals what
- 21:56you call pay the attorneys public or or whatever they call them. They got
- 22:02all kind of names from them, but they give him quarter pointed attorneys that
- 22:08are corrupt from the beginning. They they got something in the pot. Yeah,
- 22:15that's what happened to my dad. So then when when they started,
- 22:21we have mister h Adela Cruz with his daughter her firing on a wrong for
- 22:38conviction. He been in there for twenty six years. He they say he
- 22:44committed a murder. Can you give us some more in like case, I
- 22:53think one of the one of the biggest things. And I and I hear
- 22:56y'all talk, and and you know, I wonder why things like that happened,
- 23:03because in my dad's case, we have gone through his transcript I don't
- 23:07know how many times, like a lot of that stuff we've memorized, and
- 23:11I just don't understand how you have people that you know are in the court
- 23:15system, and they can read this and they see that it's lies and it's
- 23:19not adding up, but yet they choose to ignore it or not even want
- 23:23to give them another trial. You know, my dad, he has been
- 23:29there for twenty six years and from from the day that they killed this man,
- 23:34my dad has never known this guy. He's always said the same thing,
- 23:38I don't know him. I didn't see him that day. And so
- 23:42the way it's on police department did is they grabbed two informants, which is
- 23:48is is the same for a lot of these cases. You know, they
- 23:51go pick up these crackheads that you know, have committed crimes and they get
- 23:56away with them because you know what their informants for them, so when they
- 23:59need them, they use them. And this is what happened to my dad.
- 24:02He had two informants, one of them being my ex brother in law,
- 24:07and you know, they used them fabricate a story against my dad.
- 24:15We didn't know about this story until seven months later. My brother in law
- 24:19had signed a statement saying that he was with my father whenever they killed mister
- 24:26Jorge Panya, and we didn't find out until seven months later. And that's
- 24:30because the detectives took a statement from my brother in law to my dad showing
- 24:37him, look here, even your own son in law signed a statement saying
- 24:41that you killed this guy. So when we find out about it, you
- 24:45know, we start talking as a family, we start talking to attorneys.
- 24:48And so when they fabricated that case, their story was that my dad had
- 24:56stopped at a little store here in Baytown and shot the guy one time in
- 25:00the face. There was no altercation there. My dad basically went up to
- 25:04this guy that he didn't even know and just shot him in the face.
- 25:08And so when that happened, it just conveniently happened that my ex brother in
- 25:15law fainted and the other guy lifted up this man that was probably two hundred
- 25:21and sixty two hundred and seventy pounds, put him in my dad's car,
- 25:26and they went and dumped him in a secluded area here in Baytown. That
- 25:30area was secluded. Not a lot of people knew about that area. So
- 25:33if you knew where you were going, you were you know, you knew
- 25:37what you were doing. So whenever they dumped this guy's body out there,
- 25:42per the police department, you know, they dumped the body and they left.
- 25:48Well, the Baytown Police Department's own medical examiner. Their medical examiner contradicted
- 25:56their own story, saying that whenever this man was murdered, where he was
- 26:03murdered, that's where he was, where they found him, that's where he
- 26:06was murdered. That body was never moved. And another thing that contradicted their
- 26:11story was that this man didn't have one gunshot wound. He had two.
- 26:17They shot him with a three p fifty seven magnum in the face and then
- 26:19when he was on the floor, he shot him again on the head.
- 26:23So another thing about this case is that whenever this man died, he fell
- 26:30face forward and his hand was in his pocket. So whenever they found the
- 26:34body, his hand was still in his pocket. You know, this body
- 26:38was moved, why was his hand still in his pocket? You know,
- 26:42So that right, there was a lie. They lied about that, and
- 26:47so we've always you know, reading the transcript and going through everything. The
- 26:52last person that saw him alive was his actual brother in law. His brother
- 26:56in law picked him up from you know, his home and took him to
- 27:00a store to go buy beer. If I'm not mistaken. The Beato Police
- 27:04Department looked at the cameras they never saw him go into a store and buy
- 27:08beer. That was a lie. And so supposedly the guy said, you
- 27:14know, I took him to the store to go get beer, dropped him
- 27:15off at home, and went my way. But this man here, his
- 27:19ex brother in law or his brother in law, he committed suicide two years
- 27:26later on Christmas Day with a three fifty seven gun, you know, like,
- 27:33we think it's the same gun. He committed suicide with the murder weapon.
- 27:37And so we asked to bring that gun here to Houston so that we
- 27:42could get that gun tested, and they wouldn't let us get our own independent
- 27:48person to check the gun. They said they would do it. They checked
- 27:51it, and they said that it could be the gun, but they weren't
- 27:53going to say that it was. So here we have a murder weapon because
- 27:56this man committed suicide two years later, you know, he shot himself,
- 28:00never said anything. And here we think we have a murder weapon, but
- 28:04no one is helping us. Like everything is there, but everyone just kind
- 28:11of looks the other way, like I don't know, like you know,
- 28:14I know my dad is innos one hundred percent. They know my dad is
- 28:18innocent. We've had at the end of my dad's trial. The judge that
- 28:22was standing in even said, I cannot believe y'all found this man guilty based
- 28:29on this witness. Like that's how bad our witness that they had was.
- 28:33You know, this guy's answers were like, I don't know, I don't
- 28:36remember, I don't know. You know, it was just all lies.
- 28:38And so my brother in law actually said that he wanted to, you know,
- 28:44you know, go out and support my dad and tell him that he
- 28:47was forced because my brother in law has always said that the Beeton Police Department
- 28:51forced him to sign that statement saying that my sister was going to get deported,
- 28:56she was going to have her baby in Mexico. And when my brother
- 29:00they're in law, wanted to go and talk to the district attorney and let
- 29:02her know, you know, that this is what happened, they didn't want
- 29:03to use him anymore. They didn't care to hear about them. They only
- 29:07used the one witness that said that he was with my dad whenever they killed
- 29:12this man, which is a lie. You know it's a lie, but
- 29:15no one is listening to us. Did I have a question when you're you
- 29:26said the witness, did he identify your father in some type of lineup or
- 29:33how did they how did they get to the How did your father get involved?
- 29:38You know, that's what I want to know. How did he get
- 29:42identified? My father was brought in to this case by two detectives, Raoul
- 29:51Pina Hosh. I'm sorry, Raoul Budd and Renee he know hos Uh Why
- 29:56they picked my dad out? I don't know, you know, I don't
- 29:59know. I feel like they just wanted to close the case and they needed
- 30:03someone and they used these guys to close it because my dad didn't know the
- 30:07guy. You know, I don't know why my dad was picked out from
- 30:11anyone, you know what I mean? That remind that that reminded me of
- 30:21similar that's a similar case, like my husband's case he's in. He's currently
- 30:26in Denver and actually I'm gonna have him come back to the and talk because
- 30:33we had got a piece of news today that the main detective that was over
- 30:40his case has been arrest was arrested for impersonating the officer since he done retired
- 30:49and he pulled a gun on someone. So now he's facing a felony telling
- 31:00the charges for that, and they also looking into his cases because he fabri
- 31:07falsified. He fabricated some of some of his cases as well. So you
- 31:17know, it's just all over the the state. I hear the same thing
- 31:25with everybody, you know, and we we have to speech up. We
- 31:32have to speech up to and when our family members are away from us,
- 31:37when they're in that prediction, we have to make sure that they're okay.
- 31:45Yes, like you know, we just got to make sure is that they're
- 31:51okay. Is your dad is is he on? Angela? Can you hear
- 32:02me? Angela? Yeah? I think he's flling it now. Yeah,
- 32:12you know, and they don't be They don't see everything that we go through,
- 32:15you know, like the cry and the suffering. My dad hasn't been
- 32:19in our life for over twenty six years. You know, he's he has
- 32:22so many grandkids that he's you know, he meets them now, but because
- 32:25we take them. But they don't realize the impact that this has had on
- 32:30our family. You know, Like whenever they arrested my dad, the cops
- 32:36were they and it was it was crazy because they set up like this sting
- 32:39and we couldn't find my mom and that the whole time they had her like
- 32:44at another area and my mom is so scared of the cops now because they
- 32:49were choking her, calling her a bitch, you know, like it's like
- 32:53they set up this whole thing. So these are cops that are doing this
- 32:58to, you know, to my mom, and so she's so afraid of
- 33:00cops now with that incident that happened to her. And and they don't realize
- 33:05like the impact that this has. And you know, I feel like this
- 33:09these are things that we see in a movie that we feel like, oh
- 33:13my god, you know, but we're going through it, and people don't
- 33:15understand how hard it is that you're going through it. And you know that
- 33:19your dad is innocent, and we can't do anything because nobody's listening to us,
- 33:22you know, and and seeing him cry and hearing him today like crying
- 33:25like that just breaks her heart, you know, because we don't know what
- 33:30to do, you know, let him go like it's innocent. Have he
- 33:36like fout any emotions with the course he did he got I'm sorry, I
- 33:49can't really hear y'all. How far have you gotten in a like with his
- 33:54emotions? How far did he reached the didn't he reached the supreme court level?
- 34:00Yet? If I'm not mistaken. He has reached the highest court and
- 34:06they have denied everything to the point where like if I'm not mistaken, like
- 34:12there's nothing else we can do for my bad at a point where like,
- 34:17wow, Cornell, I want to say something. Set and your dad is
- 34:25standing by him, if y'all want him to come home, I want to
- 34:30say something. Go ahead, Cornell, Okay, okay, yeah, I
- 34:45can hear you. Okay, yeah, yes, that's my bast I see
- 35:05I can hear you. Go ahead. Yeah. They want if you wanted
- 35:14to say something. We're talking about your case, so she wanted to bring
- 35:17you on to see if you wanted to say something. Oh, nobody problem
- 35:29why I think it's buggy, But I say, I think you don't say
- 35:37you know, but you don't know, so they corrupt you by that.
- 35:43For me, but the people I was by and on both side and sogging,
- 35:51I think, I don't think there's some people I want to know.
- 36:14You can't hear him, No, I can barely hearing. I can barely
- 36:22hearing. I kind of understand what what he what he's said. You know,
- 36:30the last part I heard was that, you know, he he said
- 36:36he wants to come home. He said he wants to come home. He's
- 36:39been in here too many years. He's said he wants to see his kids.
- 36:45He said he wants to see his daughter, he wants to see his
- 36:47grandkids. He wants to be home. And I can hear it in his
- 36:52Yeah, yeah, I can hear the tears, I can hear the hurt,
- 36:57I can hear the pain. I can hear it in his voice.
- 36:59I heard it earlier today. And it's sad. It's sad to me.
- 37:04It make tears come to my heart because these people, they know that these
- 37:10people are innocent, and they have the documentation is in black and white that
- 37:15they people have investigated, people have said, I mean, it's not just
- 37:20one person. People over and over and over are saying the same thing,
- 37:24that this man is innocent, but they will not do anything. And the
- 37:29judge, the judge said it. If the judge can say it, then
- 37:35the judge can do something about it. They need to get up. But
- 37:38don't nobody want to go against the next person. Don't nobody want to go
- 37:42against the next person. So they afraid that they exposed this, then they're
- 37:45gonna uncover something else, and then something else is gonna be uncovered. And
- 37:50then it's gonna just be a dumbino thing. But sooner or later it has
- 37:53to come out because just what you keep brushing it under the ruck up,
- 37:58the rug is gonna start getting high and eventually people gonna start tripping over that
- 38:02rug because guess what, it ain't gonna You can brush it under there,
- 38:07but it ain't going nowhere. It's just stacking right, and it's just getting
- 38:10higher and higher and higher. Eventually it's gonna have to come to a resolve.
- 38:15It's gonna have to come to a nip in the bug. And guess
- 38:19what I'm that because I'm not. I can't do it. I can't sit
- 38:23by and see these innocent people that they've taken, these people lives. What
- 38:30this man is seventy years old? What what y'all can y'all can give him?
- 38:39Parole, y'all gonna messed up his life. Let him go home,
- 38:43y'all send y'all can't y'all can't reverse it, y'all can't go back. Okay,
- 38:45well, parole, hold let him go home. You can do that.
- 38:50You got the power to do that. The governor got to the power.
- 38:53He can make an executive order and he can send that man home.
- 39:00They don't want to. That's what they leading it. They the head of
- 39:06it. They got they got man, They got their hands all in it.
- 39:10Ye corrupt. You know, followed the paper trick. You followed the
- 39:16paper trick. Yes, yes, well, I really thank you ladies for
- 39:27joining me on tonight. And and mister Cornell and mister Dela Cruz. My
- 39:35heart goes out to both of you, guys, and I'm praying for you
- 39:38guys, and hope we're praying that someone is watching this that can help them.
- 39:45You know, we're an election year, people, we elect these judges,
- 39:53the d A. We elect all of them to these offices. They
- 39:58promise us things and they don't follow through. Before you go to them the
- 40:06polls to vote, do your research on these people that we're putting in the
- 40:12office, from the president all the way down, because this is gonna affect
- 40:17This is gonna keep on, and it's going to affect the generation that's coming
- 40:22up. It's going to affect them. You're removing the fathers out of the
- 40:28homes, the mothers out of the homes with with these false charges. Falter
- 40:39I looked at the innocent mass conspiration. That's what it is master consperration,
- 40:44just another form of slavery. I'm not gonna let it go. It's it's
- 40:47just another form of slavery. These people just fouled the way that they can
- 40:51do it openly, openly, and and and they sit back. They had
- 40:55to come up with something if they was coming out of slavery. That's if
- 41:00you think about it, think about it, when when slavery was ended and
- 41:04and and they was holding on, they didn't want to let go. These
- 41:07people were holding on. Why they were they was coming up with these plans,
- 41:12That's why they they didn't have they they were still people was free and
- 41:15they were still slaves and didn't know they was free because guess what, they
- 41:19weren't trying to let you know that you was free, because they were trying
- 41:22to figure out how they can devise a plan to keep you in bung just
- 41:25your little longer. So they were that's when they was coming up with the
- 41:28welfare, They was coming up with the Section eight, They was coming up
- 41:30with the housing projects. They was coming up with all this stuff to devise
- 41:35all of us brown people. And if you and they didn't care what nationality,
- 41:40if you wentn't white, they didn't care nothing about you, and you
- 41:49talking. You better know the history of these prisons and why these prisons were
- 41:52set up. Why they set up prisons, because that's when what they was
- 41:57called in the beginning, And and you think about what they what the purpose
- 42:01of them was for. That was a house runaway slaves. That's what it
- 42:06was for, the house runaway slaves. And then you talk about how they
- 42:09housing these people. They putting these people in warehouses. That's what they're doing.
- 42:13You asked, you ask anybody what these prisons look like now? Warehouses?
- 42:16They say, we just in a warehouse. They're doing they're just putting.
- 42:22They're just throwing these throwing the people in there. They're not feeding them.
- 42:25They putting them on these steel bumps. They don't even get these people
- 42:30pillows. They don't have pillows. They give you one sheet. They freezing
- 42:36you in the winter time, burning you up, and in the summer time,
- 42:39like these people they you you may not even have a life sentence,
- 42:44but they're trying to kill you because they're not trying to rehabilitate you. They're
- 42:46not trying to send you home. And it's sad because I get phone calls
- 42:52every day, every other day, I'm getting a phone call or e message
- 42:57from somebody telling me about something that's going on out of these prisons. I
- 43:00received phone calls last week. Somebody a G folk killed the G two.
- 43:07This this is happening in the prison, says and do we hear about this?
- 43:10Did you know this happened? Miss Irene? Did you know this was
- 43:15going on? See a lot of people know this was going on. I
- 43:17posted it in a group in a group and somebody said, oh no,
- 43:22I didn't know that happened. That happened. You know, I got somebody
- 43:25in the jail building. You know, people not knowing what's going on.
- 43:30You got people overdosing on drugs and then they move in the body and keep
- 43:37getting high. And then the people in charge, the officers, see this
- 43:42and do nothing about it. You're supposed to report this, did nothing about
- 43:45it, so you don't want to report it. So I report it.
- 43:49And every time they every time somebody called me, every time somebody messaged me,
- 43:54honey, I don't got I don't got good at writing letters. I'm
- 43:59talking I'm gonna be a professional letter writer after awhile, because I don't got
- 44:02good at writing letters and sending them to send them in a boat. Email
- 44:07everybody, and can't nobody say they didn't know, because I copied everybody everybody,
- 44:13So don't say you didn't. Don't say you didn't know. The war
- 44:16know all of them know. So when they when when when it hit the
- 44:21fans. Can't nobody say they didn't know. Tell you they The San Antonio
- 44:28Food Bank donated food to the prisoners. You got officers taking food home,
- 44:37and then what they didn't want to take home, they were giving it to
- 44:40the officers that worked that I mean the inmates that worked in the kitchen.
- 44:45And then they was trying to sell it to the other inmates black market.
- 44:49They was putting it on the black market, cause some friction within in the
- 44:52prison. Instead of providing and maintaining an environment that is se in an environment
- 45:00that that that that is calm and peaceful, that they causing a hostile environment
- 45:07by keeping these inmates at each other and in competition and acting like they got
- 45:14nephutism and favoritism going on because you provide him for one cent and I provided
- 45:21him for the other. That's not fair and that's causing problems. And then
- 45:23you think about the people that's in there. I interviewed that, y'all.
- 45:27One day, this guy said he was supposed to be doing for four years,
- 45:30y'all, four years. Four years turned into fifty years. How can
- 45:37you send somebody to prison for four years and then he get a taste for
- 45:42something that he didn't even do because a riot broke out somewhere he was at
- 45:47the facility. They gave everybody at the facility, even if you wouldn't involved,
- 45:52you got a charge. So now he went from four years to fifty
- 45:55years. And then you think about all these people that that that that ain't
- 46:01doing nothing that's innocent. Now, I'm telling you, out of all these
- 46:07people that's on this on this list, I can tell you probably about five
- 46:12of them actually said that they did their crime. The rest of these people
- 46:15are innocent. The rest of these people have been wrongfully and overly incarcerated.
- 46:24One of these people are sleeping. Our time is fish run out here and
- 46:34do what they want. They enjoy their families, and all of these people
- 46:37that are wrongfully and overly incarcerated, they're missing out on milestones that they're missing
- 46:43out on things that are happening. They're losing loved ones and not getting to
- 46:49say goodbye. It's sad. It's sad that the government can do and there's
- 46:55nothing that we can do about it. H woa whoa wow. This this
- 47:04has been a I really enjoyed our conversation on this evening. Really been an
- 47:12eye opener. What's going on in Texas and it's just going on everywhere,
- 47:16but it's fins everything is fins to be exposed. Irene, thank you for

- 48:34know, let this go out and hopefully from this someone can help us,
- 48:38because we don't know what else to do. You know, my dad,
- 48:42if we don't help him, he's gonna die in that prison. And he's
- 48:45innocent, and you know, I just want him home. I want him.
- 48:51It's time, like they've had him in there all this time. They
