1PM - So far this has been an excellent day. Dad came to visit and since he was here before 8 they gave my unit CO the heads up before I was even sent out to yard so I just dressed and waited in the day-room. Visiting is just a room with chairs lined along the sides...

  Odd day = early yard. While I was out at yard some unhappy looking female CO came out and called my name. When I went up she turned out to be the "pass clerk" who handles approving visitors. she had both "Special Visit" forms I had submitted for my parents to...

Today wasn't a great day. Once every week we have a day with no gym time. That was today. Plus there as an emergency count during our yard time so we didn't get outside. And it was a short day-room day so we only had 3 hours out of our cells other than meals and I...

Space...that's the biggest issue with doing taiji in D&E. The gym is big but all the space is taken up by handball, basketball or weight machines. I was able to do the short form once tonight because I was the first to the gym and took some of the weight lifter's...

I've been able to call mom and dad 2 times so far but yesterday I called during morning day-room and dad was in the hot tub and both Justin and McK were asleep. I think I'll wait today till a later time. Mom woke McK and Justin up so I did get to talk to them. It was...

I slept soundly for the first time last night and woke up in a good mood this morning. 🙂 At breakfast I even noticed the sunrise colors reflecting off the wispy clouds making a beautiful pattern of shades of pink and orange on shades of blue. I pointed this out to my...

Yesterday I was able to make a free 1 min call to both mom and dad. Today I figured out how to get through using credits they bought yesterday. They had put money on each of their phone numbers rather than putting money on my account so I could call whomever I want...

So much to catch up on...When I left Sarpy to come to D&E I rode with 3 other guys. 1 younger white guy in for selling automatic weapons, 1 black guy about my age and 1 much older guy that everyone in Max2 knew. They called him "Pops" and he had been sentenced by...

Well I'm in D&E now. I'm in housing unit 1 which is sort of the PC/Sex Offender unit so it seems pretty laid back.   Before I go into D&E let me finish describing the Sarpy Co. experience. I had just finished explaining that I was sleeping in a "boat" on...

  I'm back...in prison! Yes, I fucked up and I'm back in prison again. Well, today I'm actually jail waiting to be sent to prison as my sentencing was this morning. I took a plea but the sentence was far worse than the judge led me to expect when I agreed to the...
