The Most Hard Thing To Grasp….1.Within
this environment called prison we are treated as animals and less than
human beings, whereas we are not animals but the majority have1.families
that care and seek treatment that is suitable for those confined within
the PENAL SYSTEM yet we are constantly fighting for better behaviors of
disgruntled staff and executive administration to do better and treat
men as well as women that are confined within this prison system better
than what they are doing at this point of venture.There
has been many that has stressed there voices and their commitment to
trying to have a dual respect towards inmate(s) and yet they are
ostracized within a formation that leaves a bad taste within their
mouths and their voices, why is it that the FDEDRAL, STATE, COUNTY and
COTY jails continually bring about a negative mannerisms on those of us
that have been confined in the prison system for decades and yet the
quality of life is subjected to harsh, inhumane, and callous treatment.I
say to you the reader of this brief expose that it is time that you
stand and be accounted for and let your voices from the inside be heard
within the structure that we are being treated like animals and degraded
daily because of our ethnicity, race, color and creed as well as our
own nationalities due to the lack of respect that the government allows
to happen in these jail systems, you can make a difference if you are
tired of the abnormal abuse taking place as we speak.This
is just my thoughts on what we keep allpwing to happen when we
ourselves need to utilize the sources that are benefited us as
individuals and human beings, regardless of what we have been confined
for we must and shall be a VOICE that should cry out against the
injustice and meager functions of the way that we are treated as people
withn a society in a society….I thank you for your time and it is my
hope that something and someone will react to this message within a
serious circumstances of situation.Respectfully Yours – A Concerned Friend |

Letters From Inside
1.Before I start wit My opinion, I would like to thank the
People in charge for setting this up & I would like to thank Those
with the patience & respect to read this letter. My opinion today is
about the “Scales Of Justice” & how they have become so imbalanced.
For example; The Tryvon Martin case & all the other “MURDERS” that
happen to “ALL” race of People that goes Un-justly & Un-equally
punished. What saddens Me is this; We, as well as, Blind Black Leaders
are missing a very big point. A point that middle America & hard
working tax pay Citizens do not want to hear or take notice. The point
I’m painting the picture of is the imbalanced Justice System. Which
makes it so easy to put Non-Violent First Time Felons away for life.
However We have a dead 17 year old Boy & a Man with a smoking Gun
& They’re trying to build a case. There are Non-Violent Drug
Dealers, White & Black (all races), who are doing decades in the
Federal System. Who never had a chance at a bail, let alone making a
bond & We have a dead 17 year old Child & We do not even charge
the Man with the smoking Gun…He did not make bail He just walked right
out of the police station. We build Rockefeller Laws for Organized
Criminals & drug dealers however, when it comes to the Catholic
Church & Child Molesters We give them a pat on the hand…Now I know
what You think…NO TEARS FOR A DRUG DEALER. However lets flip it for a
moment. When You are walking down the street, You can always say, “I
know what I think I’ll get high today” or You can say, “I do not think I
want to get high today”. Now let us continue on looking at it from a
victims point of view. When You are walking down the street & a
bullet is coming in Your direction You can’t say, “I do not want to be
shot today” or when You are a Child laying on Your back You can’t say,
“I do not want to be molested today”. There goes the imbalance. The
Tryvon Martin case is a sad story & yes He was racially profiled.
However this case is not going to stop racial profiling or racism. So,
therefore flooding in the media about “Racial Profiling” & “Racism”
is like preaching to the choir. As long as there is a force for Us to
get along while there is a imbalance in the Justice System there is
going to be hatred. What hurts is Trayvon is never coming back. HE IS
DEAD & The Country is “REALLY” missing that Big Point….THIS CHILD IS
DEAD…!!! He will NEVER get a chance to live His life or be who He
could’ve been & We struggle with the idea of of charging the Man who
did it. When We have Men who has never been arrested Non-violent &
They’re doing LIFE in jail for “HEAR SAY EVIDENCE”. Sad…WAKE UP
AMERICA….!!! THEY JUST TOLD MR. ZIMMERMAN TO TAKE HIS GUN & GO
HOME…NO CHAGRES & NO BAIL….Just Think If That Was Your Son…How Would
You Feel…Peace

letter from inside
1.WRONGFULLY CONVICTED
Hello! My name is Bruce A. Dillard, and it has been my
custom to write letters to the courts, law firms and many organizations,
etc.
Put simply, for over a decade now (13) years, I have
cried out against all that has transpired throughout this “wrongful
conviction” and I am no nearer being heard today than when I first
raised my voice.
Whereas I proceeded to trial in an effort to vindicate my
innocence, not -withstanding the enormity of the consequences, which
has left me with a “Death Sentence”—-LIFE WITHOUT THE POSSIBILITY OF
PAROLE, PLUS (7) YEARS.
Subsequently, I received this “Death Sentence” after (2)
two mistrials, that was based on tainted evidence, fabrication, perjured
testimony and frameworks.
Upon this, I had been beaten and knocked unconscious by a
barrage of (10) ten plain clothes detectives from-third district police
station in the city of Cleveland, Ohio.
Moreover, I was only charged with V.S.D.L-violations of the “state drug law”.
However, I was bound over to “federal custody” and the
(10) ten police officers had the charges trumped-up by way of perjured
testimony, tainted evidence, fabrication and frameworks.
Everyone’s support is most needed to abate this “WRONGFUL
CONVICTION”. Please, go-to

Letters From Inside
1.This Letter, is an out cry from inside to the public and legislators…
Better spoken from the words of Judge Higginbotham, from the third circuit court of appeals stated:
Judges and legislators must always remember that ultimately we are not SENTENCING widgets or
robots, but, human beings.. Iam not suggesting that human frailties and crimes should be ignored
(nevertheless) convicted defendants should be sentenced within the spectrum of what most able
judges would consider fair and reasonable for our society and the sentenced defendant….
As a federal offender, that has recieved a 35yr sentence for
drug trafficking( powder cocaine) wholesale valued $500.00, in addition
to possession of a firearm, that no one was hurt the leases, combined
with prior conviction that increased my time.. I was wrong, I admit and I
do deserve time.. But, time to the point that can potentially cost my
life in prison, along with me coming home to no family members, do to
the amount served, is extremely harsh… I was rearrested at the age of
33yrs old, if law do not change or I can change my sentence via appeals…
I’ll be home at 64yrs old…. Rapist, murders, child pornist, do not even
recieve as close to the time I recieved….. Laws, are crafted, to
protect the public…
I do, believe in punishment, I want society and my family to
be protected.. But, at the same time, society children are being overly
sentenced… Rehabilitation is based on the sentence imposed, if a
prisoner as nothing to look forward to but time, rehabilitation is out
the window and upon release, he’s right back at committing crimes again…
Because, of all the time that was served, that did not support rehab,
he lost all his family members, while in prison, he’s a bitter person
being release…
The only hope, Im asking the public to voice their voice, is
adaquate time and 33% more good time, so people can earn their freedom,
that way society can see if he really wants to do well in life… Support
the bring back of 65% good time
Onward,

Hi-Sharing A Poignant Message
Hi,
I hope you’re well and you slept good. I pray you have a very
special day(John 16:23,24). This is the day that Yahweh has made, let
us rejoice and be glad in it(Psalms 118:17-24). I feel great that my
mother is coming to see me this weekend.
Last night I spoke in service about the power of forgiveness.
I told the congregation the story of how I had to reconcile with my
father after almost 20 years of not speaking with him. I told them of me
forgiving him(Mark 11:24-26). I shared in my message how when I was
younger my dad stripped me naked and beat me with an extension cord with
like 100 violent whips. I felt him full of rage and hatred at the time
as he did it. I felt like he wanted to kill me. I cried out for mercy. I
think I carried around a lot of rage many years because of that
incident. I felt helpless. I shared how we must be willing to forgive no
matter how much someone has hurt us. I then told the story of how the
Jamaican guy on my case told on me. He was the actual kingpin in my
case. I shared how if he was to come here today, I would not harm him. I
told them if I turned around in the chow line and saw him behind me, I
wouldn’t hit him with a tray or nothing like that. I shared how another
time when I was at Beckley, a prison in West Virginia, a guy walked up
to me and told me I killed his cousin. He said him and his other cousin,
who was on the compound, was talking about jumping on me. He said they
changed their minds after they saw how much I had changed my life. I
felt like this was a test to see how much I had really changed. I spoke
about how that was an opportunity to see if I would go back to my old
ways. I didn’t. I spoke on how the guy said the situation was over, but
then he walked up to my celly and told him he was in the cell with the
guy that killed his cousin. He also told my cellmate that he was walking
around with a razor blade in his mouth. I told the brothers the enemy
wanted me to get a knife or something like that. I didn’t. I put my
trust in the LORD. I am safe.
Last night the title of my first message was: The
Requirements, Expectations, and Responsibilities of an Elder in the New
Covenant Assembly. I taught on part 1 the other day. It was based off of
1 Peter 5:1-4 and 1 Timothy 3:1-7. The teaching last night, which was
part 2, was based off of Titus 1:5-9. I spoke about how these verses
outline 15 requirements for a mature man of God who is a leader in the
Body of the Messiah. I spoke about how an elder/mature man of God can’t
be soon angry. I spoke on how we must let a lot of stuff go and move
forward. I said we can’t let anyone or anything hold us back. I shared
the verse in 1 Corinthians 13:4-8, the love chapter, about how love is
longsuffering/patient, AND is kind. I told them how many times we might
be patient with someone, but at the same time we are carrying a nasty
attitude/spirit/aura about us. I shared this is not the love of
God/Yahweh in manifestation. I spoke about how we should be patient and
yet kind at the same time. I said some are patient, yet they are boiling
over with frustration, puffing, pouting, and doing/saying things that
shouldn’t be done/said. The Father wants us to have a pleasant attitude
through the tough times.
I told them our goal as men of God is to be leaders who
produce/create other leaders. The Father has blessed me to be a leader
among leaders. Last night, as I looked over the congregation, I saw
changed men who are leaders. I saw a black man who is a former Chicago
Police Officer sitting in the congregation. I saw a former Marine who is
black and fought in Bosnia, Iraq, Kuwait, etc. sitting there taking
notes. I saw another former Marine who is a white guy and guarded Bill
Clinton on the Marine One Helicopter. I saw Mexican gang members from
Texas who are changing their lives for the better. I saw a former Pimp
from Milwaukee who has caught fire for the LORD. I saw a brother who has
been in 22 years on murder charges, but is going home soon to start his
new life. I saw a former Army Veteran who has been in for 20 years and
goes home soon. I saw white guy who is a former tattoo specialist. He
was at one time hooked on heroin. He is now free of all drug use. There
are many more in the congregation from unique backgrounds who are
changing each day for the better.
After that message I went into a lesson regarding the end
time principles concerning leadership. I showed them how Deuteronomy
17:14-20 shows the requirements for a king among his people. A king
refers to a strong leader. I shared how it says a brother must meet
three requirements to be the leader he is called to be. I shared how
verse 16 in those passages of scripture says a man of Yahweh must not
multiply horses to himself. I spoke about how the rapper Scarface made a
song back in the day regarding how money and power are two of the main
stumbling blocks for men. I shared how multiplying horses refers to
being power hungry and how we cant be that way. I spoke on how horses
speak of strength.
When I took the brothers to verse 17, I showed them Yahweh
told us men to not multiply wives unto ourselves. I shared how many men
struggle with having more than one woman at a time. I shared how we must
buckle down now and get ready to be faithful to one woman when we get
home. I spoke about how Yahweh warned us that having many women can turn
a man’s heart away from our Father Yahweh and our woman. This is why
many men find it difficult to be faithful to one woman. Once other women
start entering the picture, a man’s heart usually goes astray. If a man
gets away from the Father, soon after that same man will eventually go
astray from his wife also. A man that is not solid with the LORD, will
soon find it difficult to be solid with his wife.
I then went to part 2 of verse 17. It gave us the requirement
of the third thing a man must overcome to be the powerful leader in the
Kingdom of God that he is called to be. It said us men must not
multiply silver and gold unto ourselves. This is speaking of money and
of us not being money hungry. I shared how our emotions can get caught
up in getting funds. The next thing we know we will be caught up back in
our old ways. I shared how these three things have been manipulated by
the enemy to cause the fall of many great men. We see three tempting
things for men are: Power, Women, and Money. I then went deeper. I gave
them examples in scripture of this happening to individuals. They loved
the analogies I shared. I took them to King Solomon’s time. We read 1
Kings 10 together. I showed the brothers how King Solomon multiplied
horses to himself. This is seen in verse 26 of that chapter. I then took
them to 1 Kings 11:1-4. This is about how King Solomon had 700 wives
and 300 concubines. I then went back to 1 Kings 10 to show them verses
21 and 28 of that chapter. It showed how Solomon greatly multiplied gold
and silver unto himself. It says all of his drinking vessels were
golden vessels. It says he had no drinking vessels of silver! It says he
made silver to be in Jerusalem like rocks in the streets!!! Solomon
walked in excellence, but he had flaws that broke the Deuteronomy
17:14-20 principles. He didn’t take heed to overcome the three things we
are warned about: Power(Horses), Women(Wives), and Money(Silver and
Gold). He also didn’t follow the principles of verses 18-20 of that same
chapter. They show the way for a man of Yahweh to overcome these three
things. It says we must take time to write down the word, keep the word
on us, and to read the word every day. These are good principles for all
of us to follow. Most people do not know, understand, or comprehend THE
POWER OF GOD’S WORD.
I’m teaching the next two nights. Keep me in prayer. I pray
you have a wonderful and very blessed day. Thank you for everything my
friend. I greatly appreciate YOU.

Friday, April 13, 2012… Sentencing Type Pad
Right on Crime Comments
Certainly the desire to bring sense and change to the system
of criminal IN-justice that currently has more than two and a half
million people locked behind walls and razor wire is commendable.
However, to even suggest that change regarding federal marijuana laws
“would signal to minority groups who rightly lament the disparate impact
of the drug war on people of color that he (Romney) understands and
respects their concerns” demonstrates nothing but an utter disregard for
the realities of the War on Drugs (which is, in truth, largely a War on
the Poor). Marijuana offenders are, and always have been,
overwhelmingly white folk. Providing relief regarding anti-marijuana
laws would signal to people of color that business continues as normal,
i.e., if you’re white there’s a chance something will happen to your
benefit – if you’re Black or Hispanic step back, you’ve got nothing
coming.
Any effort to demonstrate a commitment to bringing sense to
the system of criminal IN-justice must, at minimum, be premised on a
balanced approach. While marijuana laws are in desperate need of reform,
to advocate for such reform exclusively is to neglect the real needs of
people of color who are caught in the dungeons of America. The Obama
administration is to be applauded for bringing the “crack”/powder
cocaine disparity down to 18 to 1 from 100 to 1, but there is still no
sensible rationale whatsoever for any disparity. As a starting place
advocate for reform of marijuana laws but make it contingent on the
adoption of a parallel proposal to create a 1 to 1 ratio between “crack”
and powder cocaine.

Letters From Inside…
Dear Friend:
I am writing in regards to requesting some form of legal assistance, attention and consideration within this matter.
At this time, first and foremost I will like to
commend you for your tireless efforts regarding prisoners ensnared
within this struggle for freedom, justice and the pursuit of the
so-called American way of democracy. I myself is one of many who is
presently trapped behind these prison walls, fences-wires,barb-wires and
gun-towers in the guise of American Justice…
Moreover, my present day situation is not an
unfamiliar occurrence that has never happened before. But it’s
unfamiliar to me because at that particular time I honestly thought that
I was helping someone in need, or as one calls it being a good
Samaritan. But it’s a realistically familiar story of sorts told many,
many times, whereas an innocent man gets ensnared and convicted for a
crime he actually do not commit…
”IMAGINE THIS”
Imagine if this happened to you, your
mother,father,sister,brother, niece,nephwed or better yet just a very,
very dear friend of your!!! WHAT WOULD YOU DO OR WANT DONE???
IMAGINE THIS: Imagine coming across a shooting on an inner
city street. Then having the guy that got shot running up to your car
seeking your help. Now you recognizing him and let him into your car
wounded with gun-shots to his body. Then you helping him by driving him
to a local hospital whereas he dies about 3yrs later. You get questioned
by policemen at the hospital and then they finally lets you go. To be
pick-up and questioned the same day again, this time by Detectives and
they finally they lets you go again also. Now 3yrs. later has gone by
and they (Police) comes back to you this time to arrest you.They charge
and convict you in a Court of law for the murder of the same guy you
tried to help by driving him to a hospital in the first place. Finally,
you are sentenced and consigned into a prison for “LIFE” for a murder
you actually know you did not commit!!! AGAIN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO OR WANT
DONE???
NOW I KNOW THIS MUST SOUND LIKE SOME EPISODE FROM A TV SHOW OR SOMETHING. AND YOU’RE PROBABLY SAYING
TO YOURSELF THAT CAN’T HAPPEN IN REAL LIFE, ESPECIALLY IN A SOCIETY OF EQUAL JUSTICE. BUT THE SAD REALITY
IS THAT’S A REAL LIFE EPISODE OF MY LIFE. THIS IS MY REALITY I LIVE WITH AND WAKE-UP TO EVERY MORNING. IN A
PRISON CELL BEHIND STEEL BAR CONDEMN TO A LIFE SENTENCE FOR TRYING TO BE A SO-CALLED GOOD SAMARITAN
AS ONE WILL CALL IT…
” SUMMARY OF MY STORY “
(Before I begin please take note that I am not a saint nor do I profess or ever professed to be one.(Let He Without Sin
Cast The First Stone)).
My name is Rocky TO and I have been incarcerated going
on the last 17yrs.and serving a LIFE sentence for a murder I did not
commit. O an early morning on June 24,1993 I was driving my car down a
block in the state of New York City. A section of the state know as East
York, Brooklyn. Upon driving down this block Vermont st. I encountered
three(3) male black men about three/four car lanes away from me on my
left driver side of the sidewalk. All of a sudden without notice there
were gun-shots being fired. I then braked my car and immediately took
cover by ducking down. After seconds which seemed like hours had passed.
A person ran up to my car and hit on my hood. I looked up and
recognized this person as a guy I knew. He was not a very personal
friend of mine, but a friendly guy all the same that I knew as Freddy.
Once I recognized him I unlocked my cae doors and
immediately let him into my car. Meanwhile, the other two male black men
were running straight up the block of Vermont st.
After Freddy was seated within the car he told me that
he was shot, and to please help him by taking him to a hospital in
which I complied.
While driving Freddy to the hospital I saw two (2)
NYPD Police Officers who I stopped asking for help further informing
them that Freddy was shot badly and I was enroute to a hospital.
The police officers looked inside my car and saw that
Freddy was indeed seriously wound and directed me to follow them to
Brookdale Hospital located in Brownville, Brooklyn N.Y.
Once we arrived at the hospital myself and one of the
Officers who was from out of the 73rd precinct each held on to one of
Freddy’s arms and helped him into the hospital.
Now during this walk from the car to the emergency
room the other police officer begin questioning and asking Freddy what
happened and who had shot him. Accordingly, Freddy told them that two
male black men had indeed shot him and not me. The doctors than
immediately took over and rushed Freddy away into the operating room.
I was then questioned myself by the two (2) 73rd
police officers and released. I returned back to Vermont st intending to
inform Freddy’s wife of what had happened. Instead I was confronted by
Detectives from the 75th precinct and was taken to the precinct
questioned and released again.
After not hearing anything else from the Detectives
regarding the status of that case in 3yrs. I found myself later arrested
for the robbery of some local drug dealers (again, Let He Without Sin
Cast The First Stone) and being held in State Custody when Federal
Agents came and charged me with the murder of Freddy Gonzalez.
Thus, I was charged, tried and convicted of a murder I
did not commit. ” THE MURDER OF FREDDY GONZALEZ, A MAN I ATTEMPTED TO
HELP BY DRIVING HIM TO A LOCAL HOSPITAL.” NOW PLEASE TELL ME, ” WHAT
WOULD YOU DO OR WANT DO???
I AM REQUESTING ANY AND ALL
ASSISTANCE IN CORRECTING THIS MISCARRIAGE OF JUSTICE. IF THERE IS ANY
QUESTIONS NEEDED ASKED OR ANSWERED PLEASE DO NOT HESITATE TO CONTACT ME…

LETTERS FROM INSIDE:
my name is KEITH PARIS RUFFIN reg# 21645074, i am a federal
inmate with a disability and i was railroaded because i would not
cooperate with the gov’t, and in the process i received a 360 month
sentence and was denied a downward departure from the guideline range,
with no explanation. i am the father of 8 beautiful children, my oldest
is 24 years of age and my youngest is 15 months years of age, i am
currently 47 years old, i have had 4 cva’s most commonly known as
strokes since cava’s trial the gov’t put people on the stand they knew
were lying for purposes of a conviction and that’s just not fair i
personally think something should be done about people testifying for
lesser time, who knows what kind of methods the us gov’t is using to
insure that testimony, thus making the credibility of the witness
challengeable, no one actually knows if they are being coerced or
coached into saying the things they say such as in my case. now the
arresting officers in my case had a statement all prepared for me to
sign and when i denied to do so their response was who do you think the
jury is going to believe someone with an arrest history or someone with a
criminal history. i had the right to counsel once i was arrested, but
they ignored that fact and preceded to try and question me without the
presence of an attorney thus violating my sixth amendment right to
counsel but when a motion to suppress that statement due to the Miranda
issues, the judge found the officers testimony credible, now when i
asked my attorney why i didn’t or why he didn’t put me on the stand he
said that its an appellate issue now, mind you that the courts in the
eastern district of Tn. appointed me a civil lawyer who had to ask the
attorneys of my co-defendants for help, its just not a fair trial on my
part he didn’t even know to ask for a dismissal of the charges when they
handed him discovery material well into the trial, this just goes to
show the miscarriages of the judicial system favor them and not the
defendant in no way shape form or fashion.

THAT I WOULD LIKE TO EXPRESS, HOW COME IT HAS TAKEN OVER 20 PLUS YEARS
FOR GRASS ROOT GROUPS LIKE FAMM, ETC., TO TRY AND GET CONGRESS TO REPEAL
THE MANDATORY MINIMUM SENTENCING LAWS, WHEN IN FACT THOSE LAWS DERIVED
FROM THE SRA 1984/86 HAVE PROVEN BY ALL EXPERT ACCOUNTS TO BE CONTRARY
TO THE INTENT AND PURPOSE OF THEIR INTENDED OBJECTIVES. WHY ISN’T IT
THAT FAMM AND THESE GRASS ROOT GROUPS NOT MADE THEIR READERS AWARE OF
THE FACT THAT DESPITE THIS MANDATORY MINIMUMS BEING WOEFULLY
INEEFECTIVE, DISCRIMINATORY, ETC, AS LONG AS THEIR IS A CAUSE, HOPE,
GROUPS AFOREMENTION CAN AND STILL DO SOLICIT DONATIONS FROM OUR
FAMILIES IN THIER ATTEMPT TO GET US INTO BELIEVING THAT THEY ARE
ACTUALLY MAKING A DIFFERENCE. I would suggest that families of
incarcerated Men and Women network among themselves to establish a
campaign to re-establish equality within the sentencing practice, the
rhetoric of fear attached to lawmakers agenda to get tough on crime has
resulted in the biggest fraud committed in the United States, and are
elected officials have said little about this travesty of justice. I
HONOR the opportunity but it makes no rational sense to continue to use
these sites for meaningless discussion regarding a issue which should
have been repealed years ago if elected officials were really doing
their job instead of wasting the voters hard earned tax dollars by
warehousing a host of non-violent offenders in the guise of justice.

INMATE LETTERS’
1.My name is Paul Benjamin Goist and I am an inmate
incarcerated at the Federal Correctional Complex Medium facility in
Coleman, Florida Registration No: #53614-060, P.O.Box 1032 Coleman, Fla
33521. I am a single white male, 46 years old and have been in Federal
prison for eleven years serving a twenty year sentence for two counts
of unarmed bank robbery. I am a learned student in paralegal studies
tort and civil rights litigation. I have only about seven years left
and then it’s back out to the free world to begin my life anew. I have
skills in Business plan preparations, Limited Liability Company (LLC)
set up’s and study law all the time. I love self help law and
litigations manuals.
I am of course a single, white male, love dark skinned tanned females, and have no children.
I’m 5’9″ and 230 lbs, blondish brown hair, grey eyes and many
Tattoos. I am not racists, and love women of any race or ethic group,
preferably brown, golden or dark skinned, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese,
Korean, Philippine, African American females, etc. I use to be a
tattoo Artist and stopped because it’s not what God has planned for me.
I am a Catholic and try to live my faith. God is first in my life now,
many years ago, I never believed in God, but because of many miraculous
manifestations God has shown me, I know that God is here. So yes, I
believe in God.
As far as my personal life and the thing’s I look forward too
in the future is, pure success. I look forward to opening my own
business one day, a consultation paralegal service for people that
cannot afford attorneys and for inmates alike. To possibly assist the
poor in their needs, prepare documents for them upon the advice of an
attorney and protecting their rights. As I work alongside with a skilled
attorney, I believe that the future company will be both productive
and profitable to all people in society.
I love the outdoors, camping, swimming, and so forth, I’m
quite diverse and some people call me eccentric in ways. I am not a
stupid man, but made many stupid mistakes in my life in hopes that I now
can change the wrong I’ve done in the past for a better future for
tomorrow. I’m very lonely, which I don’t like nor choose to be, but I
know that even though I am alone and lonely, I still can talk with God.
He’s really all I have. I believe in what Socrates said, “an
unexamined life is not worth living.”
I do have some family left, one brother, two sister, and my
Mother. A wonderful women and real champ of champs. She’s been really
good to me and probably because of all the wrong I’ve done, didn’t
deserve such a good mother as mine. I was definitely blessed to have
her appointed by God as my Mother. A special women indeed in this world
and most loving. My best friend.
I have been fighting my case since I’ve been in, had many
errors occur at my trial. I am guilty, but my question to the jury is?
“How could you convict a man that has Tattoos all over his left hand
when he was arrested just minutes after the bank robbery occurred and
the man in the video at the bank, handing the bank teller a note with
his left hand has no tattoos on them at all?” What happened to my
tattoos? Did the prosecution alter bank surveillance video evidence.
YES. Did my prosecutor, CYNTHIA WESCOT RICE, have an oath of office to
proceed in federal court? NO. Did my attorney at the preliminary
stages state on the record that “Your Honor, I would like to withdraw
from this case because I am not representing this man in his best
interest.” YES. “Yet, they kept this attorney on my case to sabotage
me.” During my direct appeal, the trial transcripts were never sent to
the Court of Appeals. I tried to recall the mandate on this issue,
with evidence demonstrating that no record was ever sent to the court of
appeals i.e., an attached letter from the clerk of courts from the
Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. All of this I have records of. At each
time I go into a court they deny me. I have been deprived at every stage
of my proceedings my Constitutional guarantees to the right to
effective assistance of counsel, the right to “direct appeal,” and to an
adequate section 2255 proceeding.
However, I have come to discover that the Courts are covering
cases up using “secret dockets.” An attorney, Roy Black from Miami,
caught them doing that many years ago in the Eleventh Circuit. (search
query, Secret Dockets). I have had no voice until now and I thank Appeal
help with the inmate letters. The question is, what can I do to get
someone to listen to my cause, my voice, my injustices done to me. Is
there no one good, not even one out there that follows the law without
corrupting it to their best interest and not the interest of the letter
or spirit of the law? I still have not found one yet? Anyways, I give
permission to Appeal help to print this letter. if you are interested
in knowing more about my case, or just about me. You may write to me at
the above address and send me an e-mail address so we can chat. Whether
it’s law, personal or faith based, I’m all ears, well, in this case,
behind the computer, all eyes.
So, feel free to contact me. I also help people with foreclosure(s),
personal injury, breach of contract and credit repair. Hope to hear from
you soon. If you writ. be sure to put UNIT B2 Coleman Medium on the

I often sigh.
I am like a bird without a sky!
You’re the most reciprocate of lovers,
That I’ve yet to taste, you dispense warmth
to my heart and smiles to my face.
The Japanese and samurai, appreciated you well,
on me you work the same kind of spell.
I remember one day as you fell close to a crack,
Your Beauty!,
Your Splendor!
Your Brilliance!
Lie still intake.
maybe one day, I’ll finish this time,
and again I’ll watch you , as you fall
in your prime.
Yes!, maybe once again, I’ll watch
your Majestic show,
Again to appeal to my eye,
And I again!, like a bird with a sky.
Oh! Branch brook- I miss your blossomed path,
filled with tranquility, joy, and your laugh.
Gate of Heaven, soother of my soul,
I made the pilgrimage, while young,
and while old,
In down pour, sometimes in wintery cold,
hopelessly begging your beauty to unfold.
Oh! Tumbling, Beautiful Flower! My eternal tie,
It pains!

Letters from the inside
1.Legal Aide Access,
My name is Marty L. Wright and I am a federal inmate serving a
harsh prison sentence for drug related crimes.We all know that when it
comes to law,it’s not what you know,it’s what you can prove.This is true
on both sides of the spectrum. I have totally lost faith in the justice
system based on the fact that even the truth and evidence to support
the truth can be totally disregarded and dismissed especially if you are
a Pro-se litigant. The system is set up to take advantage of people
like myself,who can’t afford high dollar attorneys,but have the proof
and evidence to show that your rights,your Constitutional Rights have
been violated. How fair is it when you have to be heard by the same
judge you have raised an issue against in your 2255 motion? That is
equal to a assault victim to sit on the jury of the person that
assaulted them.How fair is it when the sitting judge worked in the same
office with the prosecutor who is trying your case,and uses his power as
a judge to protect his former colleague? Or uses his power to make sure
that the mistakes that He as the sitting judge has made, how fair is
that? The Pro-se litigant has been abused and taken advantage of for
years and this type of disgraceful activate continues to be very
prevalent today.In my case,I have the proof and evidence that the
Assistant United States Attorney knowingly and willfully violated me
Constitutional rights be hiding evidence,lying to the courts about
it,and working in concert with my former lawyer to conceal the facts.I
have proof that the sitting judge did not properly instruct the jury on
one of the major counts against me,and he refuses to recues himself from
my case so the facts can be heard,how fair is that? Having the proof
and evidence to prove what happen to you should be enough to receive the
relief that you request,but more often then not that is not the case.In
my case the sitting judge is a witness to essential facts pertaining to
the ineffective assistance on counsel claims that are in my favor,but I
can’t get those facts out because he is the judge hearing the case. So
my question is where does the help come from,where can someone like
me,who has ALL the facts on his side find justice? The statement that
it’s not what you know,it’s what you can prove is true.However,where do
you turn when you have the answer to that question,and the answer is YES
I can prove it,but you can’t get heard by a impartial hearer of the
facts?? Where does someone like me turn? Where is the help going to come
from? My story isn’t that much different from thousands of other
people,but what sets me apart from them is that they know what happen to
them but do not have the proof or evidence to prove it,I do.Yes there
is clear and convincing evidence of Rules of Ethics and Professional
Misconduct by way of #1.Making false statements of material fact and law
to a tribunal,#2.Disobeying obligations imposed by the courts rules,#3.
Failing to timely disclose exculpatory evidence,#4.Engaging in
dishonesty or misrepresentation,#5.Engaging in conduct that seriously
interfered with the administration of Justice,#6.Falsely assuring judges
and defense counsel that he complied with all court orders,#7.
Conspiring to conceal material facts and to defraud the court. All of
these things are a matter of the record,not hearsay evidence so how is
it that someone with this type of case can not be heard? The seriousness
of the discrimination against lawyer less defendants is disgraceful,and
the biggest problem facing Federal inmates today.Where is the justice
for people like myself,where can help be found when there are
prosecutors with unlimited resources at their figure tips, but they
still resort to circumventing the rules to achieve convictions? Where
are the people that are willing to stand-up for those who can not
stand-up for themselves in this situation? People like myself are not
asking for anything but fairness,a chance to be heard. Sincerely Marty

PINKNEY III CLOWERS (84524020)
4/19/2012 5:35:38 PM
Letters from Inside
1.Greetings. My name is Pinkney Clowers, III. I have been incarcerated since November 3, 1992. At the time of my arrest
I was 20 years old. On October 28, 1992 I was indicted by a federal grand jury under Criminal Case Number: 5-92-CR-82
in the Middle District of Georgia.
In the initial indictment I was charged with four counts which were: Count 1- Conspiracy (21 U.S.C. 846 i/c/w 21 U.S.C.
841 (a)(1); Count 2- Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. 1951); Count 3- Conspiracy (18 U.S.C. 924 (c)(1), and Count 14- 18 U.S.C.
2) On May 26, 1993 the governmnent filed a superseding indictment that in addition chared me in Count 18 (21 U.S.C.
848 (a) )Continuing Criminal Enterprise.
On July 8, 1993, after a trial by jury I was found guilty on all counts except Count 14, in which I was acquited. On January
7, 1994, I was sentenced to two life sentences, 20 years, and 5 years.
After trial a direct appeal was filed. The Appellate Court case numbers are 94-8074, and 95-9167. Counts 1 and 18 were
remanded for resentencing purposes because they violated double jeopardy. Upon resentencing the district court
dismissed Count 1, and sentenced me again under “The Kingpin Statute”, Count 18. And again I received a life sentence
for this count.
My goal is to overturn and vacate the Title 21 U.S.C. 848 (a) conviction. But in the alternative, since there was no drug
amount (crack cocaine) listed in either indictment or seized from me, to get the mandatory minimum which is 20 years.
As I have did that amount of time for a charge that I am actually innocent of. My problem has been not having the
proper legal assistance or team behind me. It still amazes me that prosecutors (who were later removed from the case)
tricked a jury to believe that a teenager from the ages of 15 to 19 operated a Continuing Criminal Enterprise.
Any assistance that I can get will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

RE: CELLSITE TO CELLBLOCK
GREETINGS
I am writing to enlighten you’ll and bring to
awarness my plight and the U.S Justice system, without getting into the
particulare or my case. Available upon request only are supporting
documents to give you more in dept into my situation inwhich i am
pleading for help.
The constitution has workerout in detail,
rules to ensure jurors get facts to determine a persons guilty without
swaying. My fervent intention and aspiration was to prove to the jury
beyond that reasonable doubt that i was not only wrongly accused, but
also innocent of the charge.
The government’s case against me, involve the
use or cellular trianguatlion methodology. An unprecedented new tool in
which theyare abusing in order to score convictions. The most
significant evidence utilized by the government in its solicitation for a
conviction was cellular phone records,that was prepared by the
government from bussiness records of the cellular phone provider SPRINT.
The government proof at treil included an
analysis of calls and demonstreted that calls placed or received
implicating CELLSITE/CELLTOWER in proximity to the location a drug
transaction took place. While it’s theroy was physically impossible for a
person to be in two locations at once, several miles away, it is
equally impossible to determine that an individual has committed a
criminal act based on the cellular triangulation methodolgies within my
situation. The consequence of such misconduct goes to the heart of the
justice systems promise of fairness. Federal prosecutors are suppose to
seek justice not merely score convictions.
Only the elected body of congress can make a
different in our jurisdictional system and the way prosecutors are
abusing their powers. How many more innocent individuals should be a
victim of this unprecedented new tool CELLSITE/CELLTOWER before congress
steps in?

First allow me to thank you for the updates that you have
provided as a part of your service. This missive is design to draw
attention to those individuals who have been incarcerated awhile and who
know the history of what I am talking about. Clearly over the years
groups have popped up wanting to help people who are unjustly
incarcerated under the mandatory minimum federal sentences. I would ask
that each indivdual who is in touch with these groups like FAMM, Etc who
have claimed to be fighting for the last 26 years to repeal the
mandatory minimum sentences be forever mindful that repealing a unjust
law takes more than just putting a face to issue, whereas those
legislature and politicians see Our faces everyday when they sentence us
to these draconian prison sentences. We need a little bit more than
faces we need a viable advocate who understands the diabolic scheme that
has been afoot through the administration of justice. Unfortunately
most of these groups who proclaim to be about what we need are just a
extension of the cancer which confines us to these unfair sentencing
practices. (unfortunately truth be told the purpose of the faces in
FAMM usually result in a request for a donation something your family
has been doing for the last 26 years if you have been down as long as I
have. Personally I have nothing against FAMM or in other advocacy group,
but it doesn’t take 26 years to change something that has been
declared by all experts as a abject failure. Thus I urge all people in
confinement to caution their family members if they those family members
exercise their right to vote they can in fact alter the abuse of the
law as perpetrated against American Citizens under the guise of get
tough laws unfortunately all the justice system has done is further the
enterprise of Mass incarceration. America is number one in the world in
incarcerating it’s citizens and yet we Our supposed to be the most
civilized Nation in the World. Most people in federal prison are serving
non-violent sentences yet we remain Number one in the world in locking
up low-level drug addicts to terms which were reserved through the SRA
1984 for Major drug traffickers and international drug dealers See;
Title 21 U.S.C. 801 AND 802 SURELY A COMPETENT TAXPAYERS WOULD ASK WHY

NOT KNOW HE JUST SAID THAT IF WE LOSE THIS MOTION THAT IT WOULD BE A
GOOD APPELLATE ISSUE WHICH TOLD ME THAT HE DIDN’T HAVE ANY CLUE TO WHAT
HE WAS DOING AND NO WONDER, HE WAS A CIVIL ATTORNEY AND NOT A CRIMINAL
ATTORNEY WHO WAS IN IT FOR A PAYDAY. NOW DURING THE TRIAL HE DIDN’T ASK
QUESTIONS I TOLD HIM TO ASK NOR DID HE OBJECT WHEN HE SHOULD HAVE. THE
US ATTORNEY PREJUDICED THE JURY BY PUTTING PEOPLE ON THE STAND THAT THEY
KNEW WERE LYING AND THE JUDGE JUST ALLOWED UNCORROBORATED TESTIMONY IN,
THAT ULTIMATELY PREJUDICED THE JURY. THIS WAS A MONTH LONG TRIAL, THE
ONLY EVIDENCE THEY HAD AGAINST ME WERE 5 I REPEAT 5 PHONE CALLS THAT
REALLY YOU HAD TO BE PART OF THE CONVERSATION TO ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT WAS
GOING ON WHICH WAS JUST A BUNCH OF SHOP TALK, TWO PEOPLE TRYING TO SOUND
BIGGER THAN THEY WERE AND THE US ATTORNEY EXPLOITED THOSE CONVERSATIONS
TO MEAN SOMETHING ELSE TO THE JURY, WHEN IN FACT THE PERSON THAT I WAS
HAVING THE CONVERSATION WITH TESTIFIED AT TRIAL THAT WE WERE TALKING
ABOUT MARIJUANA AND NOT COCAINE OR CRACK BUT THE JURY WAS ALREADY
PREJUDICED BY PRYOR TESTIMONY THAT THE US ATTORNEY PUT IN THEIR MINDS
AND THAT THE JUDGE ALLOWED WITH NO CORROBORATION I AM AND HAVE BEEN
PARTIALLY PARALYZED ON MY LEFT SIDE FROM 4 PREVIOUS STROKES MY LIFE
EXPECTANCY IS NOT AS GREAT AS TO A PERSON WHO HAS HAD ONE STROKE, MY
ATTORNEY PROVIDED AN ABSTRACT AND LIFE EXPECTANCY TABLE FOR THE COURT TO
TAKE INTO CONSIDERATION. I WAS DENIED A DOWNWARD DEPARTURE DUE TO MY
HEALTH SITUATION WITH NO EXPLANATION I AM THE FATHER OF 8 CHILDREN MY
YOUNGEST BEING 15 MONTHS OLD( MY PRECIOUS LITTLE GIRL) AND MY CURRENT
HEALTH SITUATION AND INCARCERATION HAS HINDERED ME FROM BEING THE FATHER
TO HER AS TO MY OTHER CHILDREN, SOMETIMES I WANT TO END IT BUT I HAVE
TO BE STRONG FOR THEM THEY ARE MY WORLD. NOW THE PRISON I AM IN WONT LET
ME SEE MY FIANCE’ DUE TO HER PAST ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT SHE WAS NO
ANGEL AND STILL I LOVE HER VERY MUCH. OUR RELATIONSHIP IS DWINDLING DUE
TO THIS SITUATION AND THESE PEOPLE ARE JUST MAKING IT WORSE, FAR AS I
KNOW THE BOP ENCOURAGES VISITATION FROM FAMILY AND FRIENDS, THIS IS MY
FAMILY WE ARE TALKING ABOUT. NOW I’VE WENT THROUGH ALL THE NECESSARY
STEPS TO TRY AND RESOLVE THIS SITUATION AND AM CURRENTLY IN AN APPEAL TO
THE REGIONAL DIRECTOR IN ANNAPOLIS MD, BUT WHO’S TO SAY WHAT THEIR
DECISION WILL BE, I PRAY THAT THEY WILL ALLOW HER TO COME SEE ME BECAUSE
SHE IS MY WOMAN AND I LOVE HER WITH ALL MY HEART AND SOUL. NOW MY CASE
IS CURRENTLY IN THE EARLY STAGES OF THE APPEAL PROCESS AND I KNOW ITS
GOING TO TAKE SOME TIME, I WAS NOT SENTENCED UNDER THE NEW FAIR
SENTENCING ACT PROVISIONS IN WHICH I WAS ENTITLED TO AND NO DOWNWARD
DEPARTURE FOR MY HEALTH, AS IT STANDS I WILL BE 71 YEARS OF AGE WHEN IM
RELEASED IF I LIVE THAT LONG. I WAS RAILROADED INTO THIS CASE JUST
BECAUSE I PASSED A MESSAGE ALONG TO SOMEONE THAT ANOTHER PERSON SAID. MY

ADAM JEROME KENNEDY (68265061)

LETTERS FROM INSIDE : Your Life – Your Voice
Hello my name is Adam Jerome Kennedy 68265-061 serving a
(15year sentence) here at Gilmer,West Virginia and have been actively
serving my sentence since April 20,2010!
Judge Edmund Sargus Jr. of the 6th Circuit of Columbus,Ohio my projected outdate is May 2023.
I was arrested October 30th,2006 after returning to my home
which was being actively searched by the Franklin,County Sheriffs
Narcotics Dept,B.C.I,and Blendon Township Police Dept.They were
searching my home because of my “Alarm” being activated,which turned out
to be a “False Alarm”.Upon searching my home they (Police) recovered
(3)GUNS ONE BEING AND ASSAULT RIFLE,2 BEING HAND GUNS,along with a host
of Electronic Grow Equipment in my garage in plastic tubs.Basically the
serious stuff which were the “GUNS” landed me in jail because of a
previous arrest I had 14 plus years ago.So this made me a “FELON IN
POSSESSION OF A FIREARM” WEAPONS UNDER DISABILITY was the actual charge
they conjured up.
While I was sitting in the Blendon
Township Reception Ctr.The initial officer that was dispatched to my
address says to me that he was the first officer to get to my home,and
witnessed “NOTHING OUT OF THE ORDINARY” AND THAT MY HOME HAD “NO SIGNS
OF FORCED ENTRY” SO HE SECURED MY HOME.Now in the process of him
searching my home for anything that looked strange but “DID’NT” UNTIL HE
COME ACROSS A ROOM IN THE BACK OF MY HOME THAT HAD A DOOR SHUT AND
LOCKED SO ONCE HE OPENED THE DOOR HE SEEN A “LIGHT” THAT LOOKED RATHER
ODD,SO HE CALLED FOR BACK-UP.Now back-up turns out to be none other then
these two officers that were involved with an associate of mines that
was being investigated for his involvement in a “DRUG CONSPIRACY”.(LISA
BROWN/MICK GYRCKO) one is from the Franklin Sheriff’s Dept,and the other
is from the B.C.I. they just so happened to be in the neighbor hood
just minutes after my alarm was activated,(How Convenient)!
I return home in between the
times of 2:15-2:30pm that afternoon,only to be sequestered to the
awaiting Police cruiser in the front of my home.I was eventually told
that they were waiting on a search warrant that was being retrieved by
another officer and once she returned they would then let me know as to
what charges I would be placed under.I wait in the cruiser for several
hours,it’s now 5 almost 6pm before she returns to my home with this
search warrant,and then was notified that I was being placed under
arrest for (WEAPONS UNDER DISABILITY)!I was transferred to Blendon
Township where I awaited to be transferred to Franklin County Jail as to
where I was brought up on the “WEAPONS CHARGES”,and posted bond the
following morning.After being let out of jail I went to the complex that
I was previously being held the day before requesting my “Phones”,and
was told that they were given to (MICK GYRCKO/LISA BROWN)!
While I was at the police complex I was
told by the initial officer that was dispatched to my home that “THERE
WAS NOT A FORCED ENTRY” AND THAT HE SECURED THE PREMISES.After securing
the premises he suddenly found this strange light in operation in a
bedroom in the back of the house which looked like a “GROW LIGHT”,so a
full on board search was done on the home.In the house the (GUNS) were
the significant items that was able to land me in jail,so this is what
they went with.I hire a Lawyer to check into the charges and he wasn’t
able to retrieve anything remotely that said anything about any charges
ever being filed with the CLERK OF COURTS,AND DON’T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
TO THEM EITHER!
2 YEARS LATER! SHAWN
PASS IS INDICTED BY THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT ON A HOST OF CHARGES RANGING
FROM MAIL FRAUD,MONEY LAUNDERING,DRUGS,WIRE FRAUD,AND THINGS THAT I
UNSURE OF!Upon him being arrested and then released from the “Feds” he
was given a copy of his “INDICTMENT”,and they questioned him about
people that he knew,and didn’t know.Now I turned out to be one of the
individuals that they were inquiring about.Once I learned about my name
being mentioned by the “FEDS” I went and seen a Lawyer,and he informed
me that he would put an inquiry to the Department Heads that would give
him some insight as to what,or why my name was mentioned in the SHAWN
PASS INDICTMENT!
He calls me into his office the following
day,and reveals to me that “I WAS A (TARGET) AND THAT THE GOVERNMENT
HAS PLANS OF INDICTING ME ON A VARIETY OF CHARGES,AND THEY ALL WERE
BEYOND SERIOUS!After hearing this I didn’t know what to expect so I just
took his advice at first which was “LET ME SEE WHAT I CAN DO ABOUT
PREVENTING THIS INDICTMENT FROM BEING ACTIVATED”!I was given that option
of turning myself in to the “FEDS” AND PLEADING OUT TO AN INFORMATION
BILL,AND RECEIVING LESS THEN (10YEARS).
NOW HEARING THIS IT SENT ME INTO WHAT THE HELL
IS GOING ON MODE,AND WENT TO SEEK A DIFFERENT OPINION ABOUT HIS LEGAL
ADVICE.I done that and the news that I heard was “HELL THAT’S ALL THEY
GOT THEN WE HAVE FIGHTING CHANCE AT BEATING THIS”!So naturally hearing
this put’s my mind at ease to some degree,so I retain him,and relieve
the first Lawyer of representing me.(BOY WAS I IN FOR A RUDE AWAKING)!
Now all of this had taken
place in (2009),by (2010) I was being sought after by “DEA,BCI,FRANKLIN
SHERIFFS DEPT.NARCOTICS TASK FORCE,IRS CRIMINAL DIVISION,AND ICE AGENTS
FOR A HOST OF CHARGES!
I had an (ASSOCIATE) from my past return into my
life unexpectantly,and he ended up working for the (GOVERNMENT),AND NO
SOONER I ENTERTAINED A PLAN THAT WAS GOING TO BRING SOME (MARIJUANA) TO
COLUMBUS,OHIO THEY HAD THE (TRAP) THEY NEEDED TO SNARE ME INTO THIS
(12COUNT INDICTMENT) THEY HAD ON THE SHELF WAITING FOR ME FOR SOMETIME!
I
was arrested following a vehicle that had (325lbs.) of “MARIJUANA” in
it,and given an “INDICTMENT” THAT INCLUDED THAT WAS MIND BOGGLING TO
SAY THE LEASE! This Indictment which is probably easier to pull up on
record,but it included (1count) CONSPIRACY OF (5 OR MORE) KILOGRAMS OF
COCAINE,(count 2)CONSPIRACY TO (1TON) OF MARIJUANA,(count 3)CONSPIRACY
TO (1TON) OF MARIJUANA ON ANOTHER DATE THEN THE PREVIOUS CHARGE,(count
4)CONSPIRACY TO COMMIT MONEY LAUNDERING,(count 5)FELON IN POSSESSION OF A
FIRE ARM IN FURTHERANCE OF A DRUG CRIME,(count 6)CONSPIRACY TO
MANUFACTURE MARIJUANA,and (6other charges that I’ve all but
forgotten)!Now the Attorney that was representing me Jim Owens was
(REMOVED OFF OF MY CASE FOR A CONFLICT OF ISSUE HE HAD BY REPRESENTING
ME AND SOMEONE THE GOVERNMENT WAS GOING TO USE AS A WITNESS PROVIDING I
GO TO TRIAL)!
Unbeknown to me how this criminal
proceedings go,I’m left sitting there in my “MAGISTRATE HEARING” AND
LEARNING THAT I HAVE NOW GOT TO FIND ME ANOTHER ATTORNEY BECAUSE THE
(U.S ATTORNEY ROBYN HAYNERT) HAS HAD MY ATTORNEY DISQUALIFIED FROM
REPRESENTING ME.Now I’m left wondering what is my next move,and
rationally summons a “FEDERAL PUBLIC ATTORNEY” not knowing what to
do.This guy comes to see me in the “COUNTY JAIL”,AND THE FIRST THING
THAT COMES OUT OF HIS MOUTH IS “YOU BETTER COP TO A PLEA,BECAUSE YOU
HAVEN’T A SNOW-BALLS CHANCE IN HELL OF DEFEATING THIS WOMAN SHE HAS A
IMPECCABLE RECORD FOR CONVICTIONS!
I tell him that I was going to seek
another means to representation so the next time I see the Magistrate I
have to ask for some more time to find me another Attorney,which I was
granted.Now this is “PISSING THE U.S ATTORNEY OFF SOMETHING FEAROUS”,BUT
HELL I WAS TORN APART AT THE AMOUNT OF TIME I WAS LEARNING THAT SHE WAS
WANTING TOO GIVE ME,AND THERE WASN’T (ANY DRUGS EVER RECOVERED) NOT (1
GRAM OF COCAINE) NEVER ANY (TON OF MARIJUANA)THAT SHE WAS CLAIMING I HAD
IN MY POSSESSION ON (2 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS),AND THE REST OF THE CHARGES
WERE SOMETHING THAT I WAS REALLY WORRIED ABOUT AS I WAS LEARNING FROM
BOOKS THAT I HAD BROUGHT TO ME WERE TELLING ME!
All in all the drugs that she claimed that I
had couldn’t be proved,outside of her using people that she had
previously caught doing active drug deals with either a “CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMANT,OR JUST SOMEONE FLAT-OUT LYING TO SAVE HIS OWN ASS”.THE
GOVERNMENT NEVER HAD ANY VIDEO RECORDINGS,PHONE RECORDINGS,INTERNET
CONNECTIONS,OR ANYTHING THAT WOULD LEAD TO A (CONVICTION)!With all this
your probably wondering how did they get you to take a “PLEA”!That’s
rather easy with the provisions they put into place for possibly
“INDICTING MY MOTHER FOR ALLOWING ME TO COME AND TAKE HER TOO PAY HER
MONTHLY BILLS”,(2) INDICTING MY SONS MOTHER FOR BUYING ME SOME CASHIERS
CHECKS FROM HER BANK!
MOST IMPORTANTLY THE FACT
THAT THE NEXT LAWYER THAT CAME TO SEE ME GAVE ME A DEADLINE BECAUSE SHE
WAS READY TO TAKE THIS CASE TOO TRIAL,AND SHE WAS CALLING EVERYONE THAT
KNEW ME FROM MY PAST LIFE TO THE PRESENT AS WELL TO COME TESTIFY THAT I
HAD IN FACT EITHER (SOLD/BROUGHT) SOME DRUGS FROM THEM IN SOME TIME OF
THE LAST (DECADE),AND THAT I WAS GOING TOO (LOOSE) WHICH WOULD GARNER ME
A (360-LIFE SENTENCE).NOW ONCE HEARING THAT I WAS GOING TO GET LIFE FOR
(325LBS.) OF MARIJUANA THAT I KNOW THEY COULD PUT ON ME,AND THE REST
BEING SOMETHING THAT WAS (NEVER EVER FOUND ON ANYONE THAT SHE HAD COMING
TO TESTIFY AGAINST ME).HELL WHAT WAS I SUPPOSE TO DO,OTHER THEN GET
(IN-LINE)OR DIE IN PRISON!
I have a (4 yr.) son,and (2 daughters) that I have always been in there
lives along with help take care and provide for my Niece that resides
with my Mother because my youngest sister (EVELYN) had passed away some
years back.I’m currently in Gilmer, W.V serving my (15) year sentence
for drugs that were never recovered in any “STING,DRUG
BUST,SEIZURE,CONTROLLED STOP”.HOWEVER I’M NOT SAYING THAT I WAS A
“SAINT” BUT THE DRUGS THAT THE GOVERNMENT ASSOCIATED TO ME WAS NEVER
(PROVEN),AND THE LIFE THAT I LIVED IN THE (90′S) WAS THEN AND NOT IN THE
(2000′s).I was living a productive life giving back to the Community in
more ways then one,such as delivering meals to the Senior Citizens of
Columbus,Ohio in a program called “Meals on Wheels”.I’ve always been
family orientated and active in my kid’s lives,but because of my past
life that had “Never been Proven” has come back to haunt me in more ways
then one.
Here at Gilmer I make-up
one of many individuals doing unbelievable amounts of time for drugs
that were “ASSOCIATED TO THEM”,AND THE GOVERNMENT DOESN’T SHOW ANY SIGNS
OF LETTING UP EITHER.I SAY THIS BECAUSE ANOTHER BUS FULL OF INMATES
ARRIVED HERE JUST MONDAY! NO COCAINE,NO TONS OF MARIJUANA,BUT STILL GET
HAMMERED WITH A PLEA OF (15YEARS) HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE? WELL FROM
WHAT I’VE SEEN SINCE I’VE BEEN INCARCERATED IT’S NOT JUST (MASS
INCARCERATION,IT’S THE NEW JIM CROW ALL OVER AGAIN JUST AS BLATANT)!

Introduction…
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is Kevin Archer… I have been an inmate @ USP Terre
Haute for almost 7 years… Before that I spent 3 1/2 yrs. @ USP
Leavenworth… I have been involved in the BOP’s Faith-Based re-entry
program known as Life Connections for the past eight yrs. I am
interested in posting on your blog some of the things I have experienced
and contemplated during this period of incarceration… I was very
encouraged by a recent posting of yours I found in one of the unit
laundry rooms… One of my main platforms is prison reform through arts
& music… I have many, many encounters over the years, as an
accomplished musician & composer, with BOP staff, elected officials,
public personalities, who have expressed an interest in seeing the
current policies on inmate’s access to musical instruments changing,
since it’s been almost 20 yrs. since it’s inception… Thank you for your
service and I am interested in any information you would like to share
with me.
Respectfully,

DEAR LEGAL AIDE;
MY NAME IS ROOSEVELT SMITH #44479-039, AND I ‘M SENDING YOU
THIS LETTER IN REGARDS TO THE LETTERS TO CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENT. i
AM CURRENTLY SERVING A SENTENCE OF 156 MONTHS FOR FELON IN POSSESSION OF
A FIREARM / ARMED CAREER. THE 924 CLAUSE IS IN MY OPINION A VIOLATION
OF THE U.S CONSTITUTION – DOUBLE JEOPARDY. THE COURTS, UNDER THE 924
CLAUSE, IS USING A DEFENDANTS PRIOR CRIMINAL RECORD TO GIVE EXTREMELY
LARGE NUMBER OF YEAR SENTENCES WITH NO REGARDS FOR HOW OLD THE PRIOR
OFFENSES HAVE OCCURRED, IN MY PARTICULAR CASE OVER 20 YEARS ON ONE
OFFENSE, AND OVER 15 YEARS ON TWO OTHER OFFENSE’S. THESE OFFENSE’S HAD
SENTENCES THAT WERE SERVED TO COMPLETION, ALSO WITH MORE THAN FIVE YEARS
OF NO CRIMINAL ACTIVITY OF ANY KIND. ACCORDING TO THE U.S CONSTITUTION
EVERY PERSON IS PROTECTED AGAINST BEING PROSECUTED MORE THAN ONE TIME
FOR THE SAME CRIME THAT HE, OR SHE WAS , OR HAS BEEN PUNISHED FOR ONCE. I
SERVED MY SENTENCES FOR MY PRIOR CRIMINAL PAST: 1985 – POSS. W/INT TO
DEL UNDER 50 GRAMS- 1 1/2 YRS TO 20 YEARS: 1991- POSS.W/INT TO DEL UNDER
25 GRAMS/ AIDING-ABETTING- 3YRS TO 20 YEARS: 1995- PRISONER IN POSS.
OF WEAPON- 1YR TO 5 YEARS. ALL OF THESE CHARGES HAVE SENTENCES THAT WERE
SERVED TO COMPLETION AND THE COURT SHOULD NOT BE ABLE TO USE ANY OF
THEM TO GIVE OUT A MANDATORY NUMBER OF YEARS FOR A CRIME THAT IS NOT OF A
VIOLENT NATURE: FELON IN POSS. OF A FIREARM, ONE THAT WAS INSIDE A
CLOSET. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONCERN IN THIS MATTER, THANK YOU.

From the INSIDE – Waneley Brown, 20yrs in Prison
Dear Official,
I request you to post the attached.
FROM THE INSIDE – WANELEY WRAY BROWN, SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON DUE TO MISIDENTIFICATION.
Thank you.
SENTENCED TO 20 YEARS IN PRISON DUE TO MISIDENTIFICATION
Waneley Wray Brown is a family man with six children and a
law abiding permanent resident of U.S. Overnight, he has become a victim
of misidentification and incarcerated to server 20 years in prison for
someone else’s crime. He humbly requests for public commendation to
support his pleading for justice.
On 9-1-1999, Mr.Brown had been served with a speeding
ticket by an officer of Cleaveland County, N.C. and got arrested at his
home on an outstanding federal warrant for WAYNELY BROWN- an alias of a
different person. Mr.Brown was eventually transfered to federal custody.
At a later date, interestingly, the county officer issued a record
stating “WRONG PERSON CHARGED”. Yet, Mr.Brown has been convicted and
sentenced to server 20 years in prison(FSL Elkton) because of an
ineffective assistance of counsel.
During Mr.Brown’s trial in January 2000, THOMLINSON
conspired with two of his associates and falsely identified Mr.Brown as
WAYNELY BROWN (an alias of THOMLINSON). Also, Cleaveland County doesn’t
release an exculpatory evidence (Thomlinson’s thumb print and mug shot
taken during his arrest in 1997) that proves Mr.Brown’s innocence
despite his repetitive(3) requests. However, Mr.Brown’s driver’s license
& SSN do prove, otherwise, his true name.
Devon Alphonso Thomlinson, aka Waynely Brown knew Mr.Brown
as both were immigrated to U.S. from Jamaica and crossed each other’s
path in U.S. Thomlinson who had since flown back to Jamaica has sent
Mr.Brown a notarized affidavit conceding his crime using the mentioned
alias.
As Mr.Brown is persistent and helpless to obtain the
exculpatory evidence from Cleaveland County and an appeal hearing
through his Habeas Corpus in court, he despairingly pleads for your
voice and support.

My name is Lenroy McLean and this is my story, which I have
coined “From Cellsite to Cell Block. I am currently sitting in a Federal
Prison, because a jury believes as purported by the U.S. Government,
that I conspired in the distribution of cocaine in the State of New
York. I am writing to request your help or any assistance you can
provide. Whether it be in the form of legal assistance, advisory, or
having a discussion with your constituents, of my plight. It is my
ardent desire to bring this case to the attention and awareness to the
public at large, concerned legal, political and social forums. Further, I
am passionately convinced that an injustice has not only transpired,
but a bold, callous, and contorted manipulation has been engendered
against me. I am also writing to enlighten you on the use, and laws
associated with G.P.S., and Cellular Triangulation Matrix. I think you
will find my case, along with the legal and technical issues, and
judicial pronouncements enlightening, jarring, eye-opener, and
ill-measured.
On March 27, 2009, I was convicted of the sole charge of
conspiracy to distribute cocaine (a federal offence) in the State of New
York. I was subsequently sentenced to an unfathomable and egregious
federal term of imprisonment. The nucleus of the Government’s case
against me involved the use and methodologies of Cellular Triangulation.
In layman’s terms, triangulation can be best described as where two
points on a map is known or given, finding the third point or position
can be found by simple formulas of Trigonometry. Unlike the mathematical
form of trigonometry, the matrix used by Cellular providers in its
calculations assigns an approximate value or position. The values used
are proximate, nor definite.
The Government in its case purports to the jury that, while i
could not physically be placed in or at a certain dwelling, where
illicit dug activity was being transacted, employing Cellular
Triangulation mythologies could theoretically presume my presence, at or
in such location. Further, using the unofficial “business records” of
the cellular providers, the Government conveniently placed me at or
being in two or more locations, on the same date and time. Moreover.
while it is theoretically and physically impossible for the Government
to place me in two location concurrently, it is equally unbelievable to
determine if an individual has breeched any laws or committed any
criminal offence based on such circumstantial variable.
As the passions of disparity and injustice, stirs within me
each day, I feel profoundly obligated to voice my story, its continued
burden upon my family, friends, and self. For i am innocent. I am
seeking your help with the hopes of unwinding the miscarriage and levers
of my injustice. Any aid you may provide, whether directly or abetting
my story, and the issues contained therein, to be brought to light,
will be greatly and indelible appreciated.

Dear President Obama:
first and foremost I would like to greet you in peace,
praying that you are in the best of health and care of the one God.
Truly it’s a blessing and honor to be able to say we as a people has
reach the mountain top, but looking down in the valley and seeing how
far we have come is the most important of all, now we can say how good
it is to be on top; the struggle, the pain, the journey is now the road
map for all those who come up next.
I say that to say we have made it but justice is still hard
to find; our voices are still hard to hear when you are in the valley
and one is on the mountain-top. Please understand that I am grateful
that you are our President and I believe you have our best interests at
heart; more so than any other president in the history of America in my
time. I can truly say I love you and and my deepest wish is that you
are successful in everything you set out to accomplish.
The reason I am writing your office is that I know you are a
man of deep thought and a pure heart. Please hear out/my voice, and my
complaint. I’m serving a life sentence for a crime I was acquitted of
twice in State Court and once in Federal Court, but not charged with the
crime of murder, but I was found guilty of 50 grams or more of crack
cocaine and 100 grams or more of heroin, which is the actual crime that I
was found guilty of, but at sentencing, I was given a life sentence for
a murder. Yet I was neither tried, nor convicted of murder.
I’ve been incarcerated now for 11 years fighting my
conviction pro se. There have been laws passed that could help me, but
the laws are not of benefit to me/us because the laws are not made
retroactive to defendants whose cases have become final. With no other
options available except to appeal to you and the Attorney General Mr.
Eric Holder, I have no advocate (lawyer); no one to speak out against
the injustice that so many of us receive in a system bent on imprisoning
the masses of poor Black and Latino people. While it is true we
participate in self destructive behavior, most of our crimes do not
match the punishment. Why? So we are calling out in the valley for
help from those who have made it to the top; we need the hand of
justice, that voice of reason, and we are calling out to you Mr.
President, to hear out collective cry for freedom, justice and equality
under the law. We are asking for a chance to make a change so that we
may prove we can be redeemed from our fallen state if given some hope.
Please allow me to quote a short saying by another great man, whom I do
believe you too, admire, Dr. Martin Luther King who said, “Justice too
long delayed is justice denied.” Dr. King made this statement when he
was himself locked up in the Birmingham city jail. Thank you for your
time and patience and I truly pray you hear my case and may you and your
family be forever blessed by God.
Sincerely Yours,

P.S. I would like this letter edited and reprinted to fit
current time frame and so that my case can be heard and justice be
received. Please feel free to contact me about any information about my
case. Thank you.

Hi, my name is Johnny Lee Wesley Jr. I have been incarcerated
since January 24, 1997. I was 19 at the time of my arrest. I made
mistakes, but I am changed man who has learned his lesson. I am ready to
be a productive member of society. I am currently 34 years of age and
about to turn 35 on May 2. I am from Prince Georges County Maryland. I
am a single man with no children. I desire a good friend. I am free on
the inside. I am seeking my freedom on the outside. I have the heart of a
giver…I love giving. I have the heart of a lover…I love people. I am a
forgiver…I hold no grudges against anyone. It does get hard being in
this place. I do not make any excuses for my past actions, though I have
been through a lot in life. I have much to share with someone who will
listen. I also like listening to other peoples stories. I like meeting
good, new, and positive people. I need good solid friends in my corner. I
am not just an inmate number. I am a real person with real needs,
thoughts, desires, ideas, and dreams. I am somebody. I have a loving and
supportive family who wants me home too. I feel pain and sorrow like
everyone else. I am not immune from the human side of emotional needs.
My family has been through a lot with me being in this situation. I
appreciate your help and assistance. I appreciate you listening to me.
Get back to me. I welcome your correspondence and friendship. Please
feel free to share this with others.

I write for all of the Brothers who’s voices are silent by
choice for frustration! Federal prisons are a fraud upon the good and
decent citizens of our great country. Case in point, on Friday, April
29, 2012, a young crack addicted brother was admitted back into Oakdale
Federal Correctional Institute for the THIRD time! This after serving
nearly 10 years! At the end of the day, justice is not being served!
Our federal judicial system is failing. Locking people up for long
periods of time has been proven to be bad practices and is wasteful
corruptive spending of taxpayers money. Meaningful changes are demanded
by our taxpaying citizens of this great country. It would be easy to
point the finger at one department, but the truth must be told, this
problem has infested our ENTIRE justice system, from the local jails to
our federal prisons systems. We demand change and accountability!
