Today , we went on lockdown . This morning the Northern & Southern mexicans got into it , so now the whole facility is on lockdown . I’m a little upset about it , because I know how to do what I do and go to the hole if I want to be on lockdown . One of my partners’ told me ” it’s a part of doing time get use to it . ” I told him that the only people that get use to this are people that’s institutionalized , or people that don’t have anything to look forward to in life outside of he said was funny to me because he’s trying to tell me how to do time , and I’ve been doing time longer than he’s been allowed to leave out of his momma’s line of vision lol . I haven’t been able to get use to this in twenty years , and I know I won’t be able to get use to it for my last few . I haven’t been in trouble in five years , and I mean no trouble at all . And it’s not because I’m getting better at slickness either . I’m really not into nothing these days . I’m in a minimum security facility , and I do what I’m suppose to do so I can leave here and go to camp next year , and work release in a few years . I do what I have to do so that I don’t lose anymore good time and I can get home to the people who love me , and the communities that need me . Now with that being said , I’ll leave y’all with this : Right now I’m out the way so I can get all the way out of the way of the Washington State Dept . Of Corrections , but I hate it when other people are doing my time for me like now . Song of the day : Yo Gotti Feat J. Cole & Canei Finch – Cold Blood

I read all of your individual stories, Just letting you know there are people out here who love each and everyone of you. I am making a petition against this injustice system. I will not allow this system to injusticely treat other individuals they way that it does. IF we dont all stand up and speak together how will we make a difference, Keep your faith and trust yourself. There are people on the outside that care and are working towards making sure that everyone gets an equal opportunity at life and true freedom. DOing everything that I can. Love you all.
