Journal Entry

I’ve worked so hard at this prison and went and finished Blackstone law school and asked if it would help with my recidivism and they say no collage helps with your recidivism i can pay for all the classes i want and it will not help me with any points so i did it for myself ..i’ve done 4 motions to get my county time my judge even gave me 1 year off my sentence for a compassionate release because of the B.O.P.felure to give me my county time the more i sit here and watch this instution at work they will not help anyone get out early its all about money so the first step says if you are programing and doing good and can not reach low recidivism you can petition the warden and ask for the time off your sentence and the warden did on 2 occasions and then grand parry shot them down ..so all the try that i might im stuck till my date …the first step act is for people that start in a low because you can not make it if you start in a usp or medium..its if you are young you start out at 40 points just because of your age and if you are old you start out at 40 points because of your criminal history..in doing every thing in my power to hit low and have been for 6 years during covid there was no classes of any sort so for 3 years we just were in purgatory with nothing to do and that is why i started going to collage to help with my recidivism the government don’t care about you or you going home they want every day of your life for money they are only giving people that have served 15 years 6 months halfway house and you are lucky to get that if you serve 10 flat you only get 3 months even know that you are suppose to get 18 to 24 months with the second chance act and then a year with the first step act and home confinement …they say there is no bed space in the community..so you are burnt ..yes you were suppose to be home 2 years ago oh well no bed space sorry but you get 3 months to get your life together after 10 years …it is crazy and the world changed you go in when your children are 3 years old and get out when the are graduating ..no video visits for the men and if you get in trouble the first thing they take is your family communication no phone no e-mail no visits this place don’t even have vending machines so its the worse possible visit you can have and you can not bring any food or drinks for your children they make it the worse possible situation they can so they will not come again…its just crazy …that is were we are at in time and trust me I’m trying so very hard …respect T
