Journal Entry: Kurteiz Thompson-11/14/2024

Journal Entry

Nearing the end of the week and I’m excited for real, Tuesday I will be having my “team” meeting with my counselor, case and unit manager about my first step act time credits (extra good time days). So i will know the exact date i will be going home, I’m super anxious its so close to me going home different things are really starting to trigger me that normally wouldn’t, even my cellmates snoring is really beginning to bother me.When you are so close to going home it seems as though the devil really gets to working but i recognize all these factors and be extra humble and thoughtful of the negative forces that try’s to sway you from achieving the ultimate goal of Freedom! Per usual i engaged in my daily schedule to calm the nerves beginning with a good exercise for an hour, Working out physically really allows a individual to completely detach from the reality of being locked in a giant cell. My words always bring a challenge as i learn new definitions to add to my vocabulary ,I’m big on literacy so it comes natural to study and learn and i truly enjoy learning. I didn’t have any classes today there really isn’t much to do here, Thomson where I’m housed at used to be a high level security penitentiary so the layout of the prison itself is cramped with not enough space nor facilities, to house 2000 inmates that all need to do some type of programming. I felt a little for so many Latinos here because there is only one Spanish speaking teach to direct the class, so the Spanish speakers automatically become dropped from the classes as there is no one to properly teach or grade them. Over the weekend i will be pushing my family to do mass invites to my YouTube channel “DROPPING MY FLAG,PICKING UP MY LIFE” where i will uploading uploading needed content to address the Gang & Gun violence in this country and upon my release i will upload all of my speeches,podcast, and other aspect of gang intervention all to my channel so that i could keep a collection of my work together someone for 2 years ago my need to see the videoe or hear the audio i make years before. good friend of mines who i call my brother has been very much on top of running my social media,and website despite my incarceration, Thankfully I’ve nurtured in few good relationships and mostly everyone respect it.I will end this short entry because I’m sleepy. Prayers to you all who work or participated in the event.
