Comrade Drops Out of Study Group Because of Repression

Dear MIM,

Hello comrades. How is life on the outside treating you? I hope the injustice system is not overpowering you or your goals in life. As far as me, I keep an optimistic view of everything which happens to me. But recent events are really taking a toll on me.

First off I want to say I’m going to drop out of the study group until I go home due to incorrigible censorship that’s transpiring here at Red Onion State Prison. I’ve been recently attacked with violence and threats to my safety and well being. They say they’re investigating me as a possible terrorist associate and have taken everything, and I mean everything I owned in this penitentiary. So all my books, materials, etc. were confiscated. And I just recently came out of total isolation in a cold, dark lonely cell with nothing but a torn up bible to read. I was physically assaulted on June 6th and was not able to write it up (push my grievance) because I was in this predicament. It is an injustice to be treated like this. I am a human being! Just because I committed a crime doesn’t diminish my capacity to feel and act on emotions! I can’t wait for the revolution! I’m definitely gonna get some retribution! But I’m not going to be naive enough to just jump out the window on some fuck shit.

You know all of this stemmed from my political associations. But you better trust and believe I’m not going to let it hold me down or stop me from doing what I need to do and to stand up for what I believe in. Because if I won’t stand for something, I’ll fall for anything. And I’m not gonna fall for no bullshit.
