Georgiana Elizabeth Jones-01/27/2025-Cleaning issues
So we have a right to a sanitary environment and to be treated with respect, according to policy here at Tallahassee FCI. Yet and still as a bathroom orderly I am not even provided gloves to clean with, other than non-functional large rubber dish cleaning gloves that do not really work to clean with. They […]

Staffing seems to be the topic of late at the BOP especially in Tallahassee. Officers working double shifts, no medical staff, and the counselors/unit managers take time off and are never available. Which brings up an another topic about calculating time correctly. The counselor and unit managers have no idea how to calculate FSA and […]

I’m reading a book on the psychology of trading right now, and it is very interesting. Sometimes I forget I’m reading a book about trading, because it applies to all areas of life, not just about our dealings in the market. Yesterday something I read stood out to me. There is a gap between our […]

Sadeq Quraishi-01/27/2025-The night before Sentencing: a journey through shock, anxiety, and gratitude
It’s the night before my sentencing in Federal court, and I find myself caught in a whirlwind of emotions – some expected, some surprising, and some that, quite honestly, I never thought I’d feel at a time like this. Shock. Anxiety. And, oddly enough, excitement. Yes, excitement. It still feels surreal that I was convicted […]

Goals. What specific goals did you work toward last week? My goals I work towards every week is to always learn something. Some weeks are slower than others but I keep going to find something that I can learn or to learn more. How would you assess your progress towards achieving those goals? Overall I […]

Over the past 5 years of incarceration, the number of Re-entry possibilities have increased. The Re-entry efforts from within the BOP in terms of programming, rehabilitation and other guidance is still lacking, so my advice is not to wait for anyone, but take matters into your own hands. Be pro-active in making your own goal […]

Resources. What does it mean to be resourceful? To find or make something that can benefit you or someone in a good way. What resources can you create? Resources that can be created can be infinite. I am creating resources that benefit me so I can be more successful once I am released. My resources […]
