Harassed and Persecuted for Standing Strong

I’ve passed out my copies of ULK, I attempt to raise the consciousness of the women around me any time I get a chance to do so whether it be about eating habits, working out, unity, learning the rules and regulations that govern them or how to fight the pigs without being loud or a stereotype. Because of my efforts I’ve been harassed by the pigs I’ve been written up for “unauthorized gathering” when it was only 3 of us but if I was playing cards that would’ve been okay. I’ve been written up for “inciting a riot.” I’m now currently being housed in lock for “battery” although I never even touched anyone, didn’t have an argument, nothing. I was also written up for “violating a facility rules” because I was doing sit ups on my bunk. These bastards are doing anything to break me and intimidating me.

Even now it took them 6 days to “locate” my state-issued envelopes, so I could send out mail. Funny how they found em 2 days after me writing different administrative staff about this violation of my rights. This is my 7th day in solitary and I haven’t even been formally presented with my charges. The fact they are trying so hard to break me only motivates me. I am the woman they fear will infect those around me, I write grievances and appeals, I work out, I don’t read mood books, I don’t argue with the pigs or kiss ass, I will never snitch, I don’t fear them and I would rather drink rat piss before I ever flirt with one of the red-faced weakass pigs!
